Excuse the mistakes!
Age Ain't Nothing But a Number by Aaliyah blasted softly through Santana speakers as she drove home from work.
She stopped at her mailbox and opened it seeing the mail they have received for today. She grabbed everything and closed it up before driving up the driveway seeing King's car parked out front. Killing the engine she grabbed her belongings and opening the door. She stepped out her car and carefully closed the door.
Once she walked inside she heard the tv from the living room on. She placed her keys on the end table she had in the foyer and placed her bag down. She walked into the living room with the mail in her hand seeing King watching tv.
"Hey" she said smelling weed in the air. She looked on the coffee table seeing a bunch of weed clips in the ashtray and a blunt already rolled up on the table.
"Wassup?" He greeted.
"You was inside all day or something?"
"Yeah why?" He questioned.
"Here's the mail" she said tossing it on the coffee table having a seat on the couch across from him.
He grabbed it off the table and skim through it until he saw what he was waiting for these past few days.
He opened the letter and quickly read it before a smile appeared on his face. I'm his father" he confirmed. "Damn man this shit is crazy, Im about to have you, him, and the baby calling me daddy" He pulled out his phone and decided to call Keisha.
He looked over at Santana seeing her throwing a decor pillow at him. He quickly caught it before it can hit him in the face. "I was joking" he chuckled
"Hello" Keisha answered on the first ring.
"Yeah so when do you want me to start taking him?" He questioned getting straight to his point.
"I told you he was yours but you wanted to be an asshole" she chuckled lightly. "But will your other baby momma be cool with it?"
"Don't start-"
"I'm just asking she seems nice but she's not an upgrade from me though-"
"Ke-"
"I'm just keeping it real you got yourself a little girl with a fake ass body boo-"
"What?" He questioned with a confuse look on his face. Santana watched him stand up off the couch and walk into the foyer heading to the kitchen.
"Yeah ain't no way her body is real-"
"You know I don't like that fake shit so stop with the hating Ke she hundred percent real"
"Whatever but-"
"Why'd you came back Ke-"
"I came back for August-"
"You sure?" He questioned cutting her off again.
"Yes" she quickly answered. "I just want my family together-"
"Well it's kinda late for that Ke I already started my own family" he told her. "Forget about all that can you text me a list of all his favorite things, color, animals, foods, tv shows, movies everything Keisha I'm even talking clothes and shoe sizes"
"Yeah I can do that" she said rolling her eyes.
"Alright" he said hanging up before she could respond. He turned around and headed back to the living room seeing Santana scrolling through her phone.
"Come here" he demanded sitting on the couch where he was sitting before. Rolling her eyes, she stood up and sat next to him. "You alright? How you feel?"
She shrugged her shoulders, "I'm a little hurt but..." she answered truthfully. "I'm not going to be bitter or mad about it he's cute and he happen before I came into the picture so.."
King seen a message from Keisha come through on his iPhone. He unlocked it seeing she sent him a video of August. With a small smile on his face he pressed play.
"Tell daddy all your favorite things" Keisha said recording August playing with toys.
"Chicken nuggets, fried chicken, rice, mac and cheese"
"Those are your favorite foods what's your favorite color?"
"Red" he answered pointing to the red part of the toy.
"Favorite animal?"
"Lion cause they the king of the jungle" he growled and roared like a lion making Santana smile.
"Favorite movie?"
"I like a lot movies there's so many mommy"
"And your favorite tv show?"
"Pj mask!!"
"He's so smart" Santana smiled once the video ended.
"For real" King added.
"But your baby momma on the other hand" Santana said getting his attention. "King I swear to god if you think about doing anything-"
"Yoo chill chill listen-"
"I'm going to fuck you up that's word to my mother" She threaten with a straight face pointing her finger in his face. King seen how serious she was and stopped talking. She stood up and he gently grabbed her hand but she pulled away.
"Tana-"
"Nah I just got pissed off thinking about it" she said walking out the living room. King closed his eyes and sat back on the couch throwing his head back lightly. He thought about everything that have been going on lately and with Santana upset right now he just had to leave. He stood up and walked into the foyer grabbing his keys and wallet off the end table.
Hearing pots and pan being slammed down around, he took a step into the kitchen seeing Santana getting ready to cook.
"I'll be back" he told her. He stood in the doorway waiting for her to say something but she ignored him. He shook his head and walked out the front door.

After driving for forty five minutes through the city, King ended up in his parents driveway. He turned off his car and stepped out. He carefully slammed the door and locked his car up heading to the front door.
Without knocking he entered their home and the aroma of fried chicken being cooked filled the air. He walked to the kitchen seeing both his parents in there. As his mother fried the chicken his father was sitting at the table typing away on his computer.
"Hey guys wassup?" He greeted getting their attention.
"Hey baby what brings you over?" Natalia questioned still facing the stove.
"You seen Keisha last month didn't you?" King questioned his father. Natalia couldn't help by snap her neck around.
"Keisha?" She questioned as King nodded his head. "She came back?"
"Listen she told me not to say anything-"
"So you knew I had a son the whole time and didn't say anthing?"
King parents eyes both grew wide before looking at each other and then back at King. "What?!" Natalia shouted. "What are you talking about?"
"I didn't know that" Seven stated shaking his head.
"Yeah" King confirmed. "I got the test results today"
"Well what's his name? How old is he?" Natalia questioned.
"His name is August, he just turned three-"
"Three?" Natalia questioned with a confused look on her face.
"Yeah, she didn't know she was pregnant before she left" King answered.
"Does Tana know?" She asked him.
"Yeah"
"How does she feel about it?"
"She not upset about it ma" King said growing annoyed with all the questions she was throwing at him.
"Is Keisha going to let you take him?" Natalia questioned. "I would like to meet my first grandson"
"I'm going to try to get him over this weekend but I don't want to push him into meeting everyone just yet" he told them both truthfully. "Once he gets comfortable with me and Tana I'll bring him over" They both nodded their heads. "Look I just came through to let you both know what was going on before you heard it from someone else around the city"
"Well we appreciate that" Natalia said as Seven looked up at her crazy. She slapped him upside his head. "And we can't wait to meet him" She continued making King smile softly.
"Thank you"

A few days flew by and the weekend was finally here. Over the week, King has spent over $30,000 setting up August room. From painting, to the bed and dresser set, toys, clothes, shoes, and even educational books and toys. Both him and Santana wanted to make sure he was comfortable and happy.
"Babe" King called out.
"What?" She questioned, neatly folding August clothes before placing them in his dresser.
"Should I put the green nigga or the blue nigga on the bed?"
"What?" She repeated not paying attention to him.
"Them pajama kids some mask shit I don't know"
"For the tenth time King it's call Pj masks and put them both on there" she chuckled looking up at him.
They heard the door bell ring and King quickly placed the stuff toys on the bed and looked over at Santana who couldn't help but laugh lightly.
"Go I'll be down in a minute I wanna finish doing this" she told him. He walked out the room and walked down the hallway reaching the stairs. Walking down the steps he enter the foyer and headed to the door. Once he opening it he couldn't help but smile seeing August there holding his mother hands wearing the hat King gave him.
"Hey" she greeted.
"Wassup?" He said stepping to the side inviting them inside. "Wassup little man?"
"Hey Daddy"
"What's going on?"
"It's iight" he answered shrugging his shoulders.
"Tana!!" King shouted.
"I'm coming!!" She yelled back.
"What she doing here?" Keisha whispered to him.
"Fuck you mean? We live together she's my girl" He told her. "Keisha-"
"Watch your mouth and I thought it was just going to be us three-"
"You ain't staying I'm getting to know my son I already know you-"
"I'm not leaving my son here alone with you and some strangers!!"
He took a step closer to her, "First of all lower your voice in my fucking house second of all this is about me getting to know my son you kept from me for threes year right now I want nothing to do with you" he whispered trying to be discreet so August wouldn't hear. "You understand?"
Before she could answer, she heard someone walking down the steps. At the corner of her eye she seen Santana coming downstairs. "You finished?" King asked her.
"Yeah" she answered standing next to him. She gave Keisha a small wave before looking down at August. "Hi August" she greeted.
"Hi...hi baby" he said to her stomach.
"Wanna know something?" King question getting his attention. "That's your baby sister in there"
"My baby sister?" He questioned with confuse look on his face before it turned into a smile.
"Yeah now say bye to mommy and I'll tell you more about her when she leaves" King grinned watching the smile fade on Keisha face.
"Bye mommy" August said waving to her.
"I'm sorry I never got your name that day" Keisha stated ignoring King.
"It's Santana" she smiled.
"Oh oka-"
"Alright bye Keisha" King said.
Keisha turned around looked at King holding the door open. She started to walk closer to him, "You know King I know what I did was wrong but you don't have to treat me like shit in front of him"
"I'll call you when he's ready to get picked up" King said closing the door in face. He turned around seeing Santana standing there with her arms crossed over her chest.
"What? You got something to say?" He questioned. He bit his bottom lip making his way over to her.
"I'm minding my business" She said walking past him. He gave her ass a light slap and she quickly turned around. "You can't do stuff like that in front of him"
"He ain't see nothing he's too busy looking around" King said watching his son walking towards the living room. "Yo August" He called out making him turn around.
"What you want to do?" King questioned making him smile showing off his little teeth. "I got you some toys, some games, a tablet-"
"A tablet?" August cheesed walking over to his father.
"Yeah but there's rules no tablet until after dinner and you have to eat all your food"
Santana couldn't help but smile as she stood in the foyer watching King bond with August as they made their way in the living room.
"Tana come here" King called out sitting on the couch next to his son. "You know who that's is?" He questioned once she walked into the room. August looked over at Santana and nodded his head.
"That's my baby" He smiled placing his hands on his chest.
King couldn't help but laugh along with Santana. "Nah her name is Tana that's my baby that's my girlfriend she's your step mommy" King told him. "And inside her belly is your baby sister and you have to protect her and love her okay?"
August climbed off the couch and walked over to her Santana. He rubbed his hand over her belly bump before giving it a kiss making her and King smile at the same time.
