Cindy POV~
I smiled brightly at the baby ultrasound in my hand. It was a picture of my baby boy.
Doc told me I'd be having a boy and I was hype. Honestly, I didn't care on what I was having, as long my baby was healthy.
"Did you guys pick out any names yet?" Ma asked.
"All the names I picked, Riley didn't like so he said he would name him. Plus I think he got a name in mind."
My mom nods, smiling a bit.
"I can't believe I'm gonna be a grandma."
"I'm surprised you're not mad," I say. "Jazzy mama was trippin when she heard."
"Well, I trust you. And it's not like Riley is gonna leave you. I can tell he really loves you."
I smiled. Yea, Reezy did love me.
We make it back to the crib, Ma going to her room while I went to the kitchen.
"You hungry lil nigga?" I asked the baby. "Yea, me too. Ohh, pickles sound good."
I pulled pickles out the fridge and went to the living room.
As I was smashing the fuck outta this jar of pickles, my phone rang.
"Hello?"
"Hey Cindy!"
"Yo, Jazzy! What's good?"
"Nothin. Just taking it easy. Did you go to your ultrasound today?" Jazmine asks.
"Yea. Im having a boy."
"Wow, am I the only one having a girl?"
I giggle, crunching another pickle.
"Whatchu mean? Jay having a boy too?" I asked.
"Boys," Jazzy corrects. "Remember she's having twins."
"Oh fuck, I forgot that fast. Damn, she finna have two lil niggas runnin around."
Jazmine laughs,
"Yea. She said she's excited though. She even knows what she wants to name them."
"Thats funny, Riley already got a name too."
"Oh yea, he told me about that. He already told me what the name is but he wants it to be a secret."
I groan. Of course that nigga do.
"What about you? Come up with a name yet?"
"Well," Jazzy says nervously. "You could say that."
"Why you actin like that? You okay?"
"Yea, everythings alright."
I raise a brow before shrugging.
"Well, I gotta go," Jazzy says. "I'll text you later."
"Alright Jazzy. Talk to you later."
I hang up, looking at my lockscreen. It was a cute picture of me and Riley. I was on his back while he was smiling like an idiot. I missed Riley. Being away from him hurt a lot and I was ready to go back home already.
"Cindy!" My mom calls. I wobble up the stairs, opening her door. "Look!" I gasp, seeing Riley and Jada on TV.
(An hour before that) Jada POV~
Friday came by quick as hell. Me and Riley had come up with a nice song that really fit how we've been feeling lately.
"So," John begins. We had went to JEC an hour before our performance. "You guys ready?"
"Yea yea!" Riley cheers, "I'm hype."
"Good. Jada, you look gorgeous as always."
"Thank you," I smile. I wore a red dress that didn't show off my baby bump too much. I wasn't really comfortable showing off my bump yet.
"Well, there's one thing you two should know before you start," John says.
"Why do I feel some major fuckery coming on?" I question.
"I wouldn't call it that but," John thinks of a way to put his words.
"Nigga if you don't just speak!" Riley snaps, growing impatient.
"Your performance will be televized."
Me and Riley give a shocked look, our mouths hanging open.
"YOU WAITED UNTIL THE LAST MINUTE TO TELL US THAT??" Riley yells.
"Riley, it's not that bad-"
"John, its not like a regular performance," I tell him. "If it's on TV then people all around the US can watch it," I say.
"But isn't that a good thing? This way you'll get more publicity and you'll get paid more."
"Nigga so?" Riley questions. "Thats millions of people watching us perform. Yo ass could've at least warned us."
"Daddy, air time is in 5 minutes," Jessica says.
"I outta beat yo mothafuckin ass-" Riley was about to tackle John but Donte held him back.
"Listen, I know you weren't ready for this but don't take it out on John. You'll live through it. Stop being a bitch and go out there!" Donte yells.
Cindy POV~
Riley and Jada were sitting on stools, microphones in front of them.
I quickly text Caesar and Jazmine, telling them to turn on ABC.
"Yo! That's Jada!" Ceez says, after calling me.
"What're they doing on TV?" Jazmine asks on the other line.
"Introducing Jada and Riley!" Jessica introduces.
Music played and a soft smile was on Jada's face.
A guitar played and Jada sang,
Jada: Here's a little story I've gotta tell
'Bout this boy I know so well. Back in the day was cool and all, fell in love, I fell in love. Thought he was the one for me, other boys I could not see.
And look what happened to our love,
I'm like how could it be? It should have been me and you
Jada and Riley: It could have been you and me
Jada: But boy you broke my heart and now I'm standing there. It should have been me and you
Jada and Riley: It could have been you and me
Jada: Now all I got are these photographs
Jada and Riley: All I've got, all I've got, all I've got are these photographs. All I've got, all I've got, is nothing without you, you, you. Got nothing without you, you, you. Got nothing without you
Jada: Now baby it's killing me, I'm saying it's killing me, the fact that you ain't around, baby, I'm falling down. I need me a remedy, been looking for remedies. I need you to be around, baby, I'm hurting now. I know you're a better man, when I was your girl. This land is a better land, when you're in my world. Today will be better babe, if it were like yesterday, so happy and lovely hey, hey, hey
Jada and Riley: All I've got, all I've got, all I've got are these photographs. All I've got, all I've got, is nothing without you, you, you. Got nothing without you, you, you. Got nothing without you
Jada: All I've got are these photographs. I remember when I used to make you laugh. I don't wanna be stuck in the past. But you're all that, I have that I had. And I don't wanna lose what we built this far. This is me and you, you're my superstar. I'd give anything, baby here's my heart. My heart, my heart
Riley: My heart don't stop, my heart be beating over. My loving never stop, even though that it's over. Girl, I've been reminiscing when I play that Casanova. Way back when we was kissing on my granddaddy's sofa. Girl, I got us lovey-dovey on my photo album. I got them pictures back when I was rocking Calvin Klein. You had your Guess jeans on looking sexy, oh no, girl, why could it not be the one?
Jada: Why? Why? Why? Why couldn't I be the one? Why? Why? Why?
Riley: Why couldn't you be the one?
Jada: Why? Why? Why? Why couldn't you be the one? Why? Why? Why?
Jada and Riley: All I've got, all I've got, all I've got are these photographs. All I've got, all I've got, is nothing without you, you, you. Got nothing without you, you, you. Got nothing without you
Jada: All I've got, is nothing without
Adll I've got,
Jada and Riley: is nothing without
Jada: All I've got, all I've got are these photographs
I stared in disbelief. Jada and Riley were so good. But all of us could tell that the song was about us and leaving.
"We really need to get home soon," Caesar says.
"Yea," I agree. "This far away shit ain't cutting it."
