"Wake up everybody! Its Christmas!!" Evelyn cheered through the house. I easily woke up off her yelling, so I sat up on my bed and checked my phone. Seeing that I had five missed calls from Ashton I started to worrry. I hope this boy is home safe and sound. So I called him and he answered within two rings.

"Jaidell so this the bullshit you pull off to be so fucking innocent?! You're so fucking pathetic!!"

"What are you talking about?"

"You telling your moms and dad that I talked you into this and trapped you!! Got me looking like a fucking rapist and shit!!"

"Wait who told you that?"

"Your mother came banging on my door with ya pops on the phone and when I ask to speak to you they said you was too scared. What the fuck did you tell them about me?!"

I started laughing.

"Fuck is funny?"

"They made all that shit up and you're so fucking dumb you believed them. I can't believe you really think of me to do something like that. Merry Christmas Ashton" then I hung up the phone. "Come open your gifts Ciara and Jaidell" Evelyn smiled. "I'll pass I need some air" I said then put on my coat and Uggs. "Where you going!" Ciara asked me. I just shrugged my shoulders then left out of the house. I really didn't know where I was going but then I felt hungry. So I went to the corner store and bought myself a sandwich with junk food as well. "I hope you sharing" Jace said standing behind me. "Not today" I mumbled. "What's wrong?" He asked me. "Problems" I said. "So I'm not cute enough to talk to?" He asked making me laugh. "I didn't say anything like that. I just don't feel like saying what's wrong so you can ignore that and reply saying how pretty I am" I said paying for my stuff. And we left the store but stood on the corner. "How you figure that? I already told you I respect that you got a nigga holding you down..... So why can't I just be a friend to you?" He asked staring right into my eyes. "I guess you can be my friend" I shrugged. "You guess?" He chuckled. "I'm not supposed to be laughing or making jokes!" I laughed hitting him. "Yo chill! You don't hit "I guess friends" that's not cool" he said then mocked me. I started laughing again. "I don't sound like that and okay fineee you're my friend Jace" I smiled. "So can I have a hug? And you tell me what's wrong?" Jace asked. I started smiling and hugged him, I needed that hug. "Okay let's walk around while I tell you. But I'm warning you... If you tell any of them lames my business I'm coming right after you and that's on life" I said pointing my finger at him. "I'm not no bitch nigga. I don't have time telling somebody else business unless I'm bragging about one of my thots" he smirked. "Whatever but you heard what I said right?" I asked him. "Yeah ma now let's get the walking so you can get the talking" Jace smiled. We started walking around as I told him what was up. And he actually spoke back as well giving me advice. I was happy that I actually gave him a chance to be my friend.

"Thanks for listening to me" I smiled hugging Jace. He had walked me back to my dad's house after we almost walked around the whole Brooklyn. "No problem but now that I finally got your Instagram at least! So now you could DM me if anything" he smiled. I laughed and smiled at him. "Okay I got you. Now go enjoy your Christmas" I smiled. "You too" he smiled then watch me run up the stairs. I opened the house door and everyone was in the living room. "Thank you Jaidell!!" Ciara cheered running to me. "You welcome!" I laughed at her. "Good looking Jai" Benjamin said. "No problem" I said and sat on the couch next to Sharad. "Thank you big sister who knows what I like!" He said messing with Ciara. "Choke on it" Ciara laughed. "Thank you Jaidell and your dad also lovessss his gift but he tried waiting for you but he had to go to work" Evelyn smiled. "You welcome and tell him the same" I smiled. "Well are you going to open your gifts? I spent some cash on you Missy" Ciara and Evelyn said to me. I started laughing and took off my coat and Uggs. I sat next to the big Christmas tree and started opening my gifts which were the only gifts left. They had gotten me clothes, Michael Kors sneakers, jewelry and my dad actually got me these all white Red Bottom sneakers. "Oh yeah he said he know all the celebs be in Cali so he had to get you something so they can be like "she's not even famous" he had me cracking up that day" Evelyn said making all of us laugh. "I love that crazy man" I laughed. "He loves you too and we have to have a talk before you leave next week Missy" She said to me. "Okay we can talk now if you want" I said and took a picture of my gifts, posting it up on Instagram. "Okay so lets start on our Christmas dinner" Evelyn said to Ciara and I. And somebody rang the door bell, so Sharad went to get the door while we went to the kitchen. We washed our hands just when Evelyn was about to start talking here came Sharad. "Its Daniel" he said to me. "I'll be right back" I said then walked into the hallway. He was holding gifts and smiling. "Merry Christmas and I'm sorry about my funky ass attitude" Daniel smiled passing me the gifts. "Thank you" I smiled. "So what you got planned for today?" He asked me. "Helping the girls cook and stuff. What about you?" I asked him. "You know since my house is full of girls they kicked me out the kitchen but I came to drop this off and head back home" he said. "That was nice and you'll get a call when I look at the gifts but I'm mad at you" I said as I poke out my bottom lip. "Why?" He asked smirking a little. "I needed somebody to talk to but you was too busy being mad at me" I said. Daniel pulled me into a hug so fast I felt like we were always this close. "My fault. Are you okay now? Or would you still like a talk?" He asked me. "I'm okay now but thank you. Merry Christmas Danny and thanks for the gifts again" I smiled then hugged him again and went in the house. "You're just like your big sister!" Ciara bragged flipping her hair off her shoulders. And we started lauging while Evelyn playfully mugged us. "And what's that supposed to mean?" Evelyn asked looking at the both of us. I started laughing and washed my hands again. "Its a young thing ma" Ciara giggled. "Hmm young huh?" She laughed. "Out of control Cici" I laughed and sat down at the table. "Ma what we making?" Ciara asked Evelyn. "Barbeque chicken, biscuits, bake macaroni with cheese, potato salad and morning glory bread" she said pulling everything out of the fridge. "That just made me hungry all over again" I giggled. "Yeah speaking of that. So are you ready to be a mom ? And Ciara if you open your mouth so help me god" Evelyn said. "So I'm leaving then. Call me when ya done" Ciara said. "No sit but Jaidell can defend herself" Evelyn said. "But that's why I'm leaving because you know how hard I go for Jai mommy" Ciara said shaking her leg. "Okay so step out" Evelyn sighed. I had the only goofy smile on my face, Ciara is the best lol. "You annoying" she laughed walking out of the kitchen. "Okay so back to you Jaidell. You don't know how many times I had to calm your father down from going outside looking for you. And going to California to "kill" your boyfriend. So what do you got planned. And I know your mom is probably losing her mind right now" Evelyn said crossing her arms. "Yeah I know and my plan is to take care of my baby with his or her father. I mean I wanted to go to Atlanta for college but my mom been telling me no since my Senior year started. So that's been out the window way before a baby and I can kindly get a job before I start showing so I can be able to take a break. Like its not like I'm looking out for no hand outs or not planning to graduate" I said shaking my leg a little. I wasn't upset I was actually nervous, like I really didn't want to say the wrong thing. And not prove to her that I'm ready for what I caused. "Alright and what about college how is that going to happen? The baby is going to be only two months when school starts" Evelyn said while she started mixing the batter. "I can do online classes. Ashton can take the baby or her aunts or maybe even my cousins" I shrugged. "Ciara!!" She yelled. So I thought this was over until Ciara walked in. "Ya done?" She asked walking in and taking a seat. "No so you had plans on going to baby sit?" Evelyn asked her. "Yeah. Why?" Ciara asked her. "You not practicing so you can come back pregnant your damn self" Evelyn snapped. "But I'm about to be twenty and I'm also about to move out so a baby shouldn't bother you. Even though I don't even want kids but yeah ma you bugging" Ciara said rolling her eyes. "Since when? You didn't speak with your father or me" Evelyn asked her. "Just drop it" Ciara said shaking her head. "Back to you" Evelyn said turning back to me. "Don't say shit to me!" I snapped and left the kitchen. "Aye who's cursing like that?" My dad asked walking through the door. "Hey honey I thought you had to work" Evelyn said standing by the kitchen door. "I did too but they sent me home. Now what's going on? Who was cursing like that?" he asked her. "Me. She's a funny style ass bitch and I don't need this especially not right now" I said with my tears falling down my face. "Calm down Jai. Go get your coat and Uggs so you can help me pick out this cake" my dad said to me. I wiped my tears and went to go put on my stuff. "Yo I'm going to need you watch your mouth about my moms" Benajmin said as I zipped up my coat. "So tell her watch her fucking mouth. You don't even know what the fuck she said to me so get the fuck out of my face!!" I yelled at him. "Was that necessary Ben?" My dad asked him then walked away. "Nah fuck that I'm always trying to be nice to this disrespectful ass bitch !! She always come to New York with some shit like get the fuck out of here with ya side bitch baby ass!!" Benjamin yelled. I started laughing. I'm most definitely a side bitch baby but watch this. I walked to kitchen the grabbed a knife and ran and stabbed him right in his shoulder. "Yo she stabbed me!!" He yelled holding his shoulder. I went to stab him again but somebody grabbed my and took the knife. I was about to punch whoever did that but it was Ciara and she called for my dad. So here came Evelyn and my dad running in Ciara room. "Oh my god she stabbed him!" Evelyn screamed. "Bitch shut up!" I laughed. And Sharad kept on laughing as well, he's really team me. "What's funny?" My dad snapped at him. "He went off for no reason when mommy did come at her when it wasn't even her place to do. Jai you good?" Sharad asked me. "Yeah I'm good" I said calmy. "If you're aren't my sister you mussssst be my twin. My attitude be the same but come on let's go sit you down" Ciara said shaking her head. We sat in the living room and I picked up the house phone and called my mom.
"Hello?"
"Mommy please come get me!"
"Why are you crying?! Where's your dad?! What's happening?!"
"I stabbed Benjamin"
"Why?! Please not over a petty argument"
"No he tried to come at the both of us. Calling me a side bitch baby like what the fuck is that?!"
"Calm down baby. Where's your sister?"
"Right here"
"Okay wipe your tears Jai. I love you and we'll speak about that when you come home. And put Ciara on the phone"
"Okay hold on". "Ciara my mom wants you" I said wiping my tears. "Okay" she said and took the phone. I continued wiping my tears and got comfortable on the couch. They were talking on the phone for a minute, laughing and all. "Jaidell let's go!" My dad yelled at me. "I'm coming" I said and walked over to him. Evelyn was wrapping up Benjamin's shoulder while we were leaving. My dad and I got in the car and he started driving. "What's wrong with you? First of all you're pregnant then you're stabbing him like you're not about to raise a child" my dad said to me. I sucked my teeth and rolled my eyes looking out of the window. "Jaidell don't test me" my dad said through gritted teeth. "What do you mean what's wrong with me? No they don't know how to watch their mouths. First of all Evelyn basically said I'm going to convince Ciara to have a baby and I'm a bad influence. One like Ciara said she's about to be twenty she knows what's right from wrong and two yes I was having sex but it wasn't like I was planning to have a baby. That surprised me just as well as it did everybody else. And then Benjamin calling me a side bitch baby no if your mother was popping her pussy right she wouldn't have to worry about no side bitches at all tuh he's lucky that wasn't his fucking mouth that I didn't stab" I said with tears rolling down my face. "Jaidell calm down and watch your mouth. I'm going to talk to them both about that. Its not like you're an outsider you're my daughter. And it really wasn't Evelyn's place to come down on you. Yes that's your step mom and you two get along very well but still she even convinced me to relax. Jaidell I'm too young to be somebody's grandpa" he said. "I know but what you want me to do kill the baby? Then that's just going to make me irresponsible and selfish" I cried leaning on the dashboard. "I'm not saying that at all but next time just e more careful. You're just lucky that it was just a baby and not a life threatening g disease" my dad said. "Yeah I know" I mumbled and wiped my face. "Stop crying Jaidell you're way too strong for that. Literally" he chuckled and kissed my for head. I did a halfway smile and hugged him. "But dad can I assure you that Ashton is a good boy?" I asked him. He chuckled and parked his car in front of the bakery. "To you and your friends he is but no dad likes the guy that takes his baby away" he smiled. And I nodded my head understanding what exactly he said. "Oh and daddy why you and mommy made him think that I was afraid of him or something like that?" I laughed. It was actually funny now especially after what my dad just said to me. "Daddy duties" he chuckled and got out of the car. I shook my head and follow behind him. "What kind of cake do you want?" My dad asked me. "You said you wanted red velvet right?" I asked him. "Oh yeah I forgot just that fast" he laughed. I laughed with him and my stomach growled off the smell of hot chocolate chip cookies. "Dad can you buy me those copies pleeease!" I begged. "Yeah how many?". I looked and started smiling. "Four" I giggled. He nodded his head.
Coming back to the house everybody was just sitting in the living room watching TV. But when my dad and I walked in they all looked at us. I went to take off my coat and Uggs then picked up my phone. I had a text from Ashton.
Ashton : Merry Christmas even though you're mad at me but I'm sorry
Me : Merry Christmas baby zaddy lol but I miss you and hope you enjoyed you're Christmas
Walking to the living room to sit with Ciara and Sharad my phone started ringing. So I picked it up and walked in the kitchen seeing all the food was done.
"Hi Ashton!"
"Hey Jaidell"
"Soooo how was your Christmas?"
"It was cool but it would've been better with you. How was yours?"
"I'll tell you when I get home but what you got for Christmas? And where's Rose? I miss her"
"A lot of stuff. You know my grandma swear she knows the latest gear and um right here with Diamond doing each other hair. Ace got her some fly shit but FYI I'm a better boyfriend" and I could here Rose playfully cursing him out while he laughed.
"That wasn't nice baby! And tell them I said heyyyy and Merry Christmas"
"They heard you and they said the same to you"
"And I told you my mom and dad was lying to you. I asked him today about it and he started laughing"
"I'm sorry baby and I should've knew better but you know how easily people switch up. But I should've thought better on you"
"That's so true but what are you doing for New Years?"
"Sorry baby but I'm going to get twisted like Mexican men wasted and going to Ransom"
"What's that?"
"A new strip club tell Mars to step her shit up!"
"Watch your mouth! Don't talk about my girlfriend like that!"
"Haha I'm just fucking with you baby. I said the same thing to Rose and she waited until I fell asleep and threw ice cold water on me and all over my bed"
"Good for you! That's not nice ugly! And speaking of Riley, I was thinking and wants her to be our baby god mom"
"Well of that's what you want and I'm choosing Kendrick ugly ass"
"That's fine with me"
"Why aren't you choosing Kiara or Giselle? Aren't they your best friends?"
"Yeah but I know Kiara just wants the title and Giselle said she'll get in trouble"
"Oh okay so then that's his god parents."
My dad walked in the kitchen and mouth "its time to eat. Hang up the phone" and walked back out.
"Ash I'll call you later. Its time to eat dinner and I'm in the kitchen"
"Alright later baby. I love you"
"I love you too".
And here came everybody with the only hungry faces walking into the kitchen. "You all phone cuffing when Drizzy haven't called me yet" Ciar said then we started laughing. "We see who's the real thotler" I laughed. "Man whatever" she laughed and flicked water on me. "Nah I'm scared of the family in this house" Sharad said and sat down at the table as well. "Why?" Ciara and I both asked. Evelyn and my dad was making the plates whole all the kids sat at the table. "You both was just crying and all upset but now ya both too giggly" he said shaking his head. "Why you was crying Cici?" I asked looking her way. "We'll talk before going to bed so don't fall asleep on me little girl" she laughed. "Okaaay I won't" I laughed. "Yo Ben you good?" Sharad asked him. "Yeah and Jaidell next time you do that I'm going to knock your crazy ass out but I still love you Barbie" he said then smiled. I started laughing. "Whatever and I love you too but just watch your mouth. My mom is my world and I don't play with her" I said. "My fault" he said. "Its cool now" I shrugged. "This have to be like the cutest family ever" Ciara teared. "Why are you crying?!" Sharad yelled at her. And we all started laughing. "No because they didn't even need mommy or dad to make them speak again like I wouldn't trade ya for nobody" Ciara said and I hugged her. "Here's your plates but save some space for your stomachs" my dad said handing out the plates. We started stuffing our faces enjoying Evelyn's cooking. "And Jaidell I just want to apologize for making you feel uncomfortable about your pregnancy" Evelyn said. "It's cool. Its all over now" I shrugged. "That means she's accepts it" Ciara said. "Wait what?!" Benjamin asked us. "Yeah I'm pregnant" I said. "And you're still alive? Dad what did you say about this?" Benjamin asked looking at my dad. "We talked" he said. "Yeah after he whooped me!" I laughed. "Yeaaah that's the dad I know but congrats and he's going to sweat me the most" Benjamin bragged. I started laughing and went back to eating. "Oh and dad Jai's mom wants you to call her" Ciara said throwing her and my plate away. I was too full but Ciara and I went to the room to go talk. "So why were you crying?" I asked her. "If you laugh at me Jai I'm going to kill you" "Okaaay I'm not!". I started laughing then looked at her. "I was crying because every time a big happen with you when you're in anew York you be so quick to go home. And it sucks because I be trying to spend all the time I can with you since I barely see ypu" She pouted. "If you're not the cutest thing and okay I'll stop that" I said hugging her. "Its true and I be like but damn she just got here and I don't want to be selfish and be like just stay when you're not feeling welcomed" Ciara said. "Okay so whenever I come back I'll try to avoid the drama as much as I can" I said grabbing my towle and pajamas. I was getting ready to go shows and fall asleep today was way too much for me. Merry Christmas though.
Waking up I got out of bed and took a shower then got dressed putting on my white Polo long johns and my gray sweta suit with my black timbs. "Daaamn you getting cute for Jace? They not even on their way" Ciara joked and grabbed her towel. "Nobody wants Jace. I have Ashton right back at home waiting on me" I giggled. "Okay if you say so. Your mouth is talking but your outfit isn't" she laughed. I looked at my basic outfit and braided my hair in two braids then brushed my edges and picked up my phone. And called Riley, I missed her so much !! "You know its only us in the house right?" Ciara said walking back into the room. "Really? And ewww cover yourself up next time!" I said looking the other way. "Whatever and yeah its just us. Thots be like free criiiiiib pull up!" She laughed and went back to the bathroom. I laughed and hung up the phone. Riley phone went to voicemail. So I texted Kiara and Giselle.
Me : Have ya been to Butters lately ?
Kiara : No
Giselle : No why ?
Me : Riley isn't answering my phone can ya go check on her please
Giselle : Jai you got a thing for her ? You don't check on us
Kiara : Lmaooo right !
Me : Ya need to stop and that's cuss I'm forever texting ya so of course I know you two are good. So can one of ya do me that favor ? Thanks
And the door bell rang, I know this girl really didn't invite them boys over. I got up and looked through the peep hole seeing Drizzy standing right in front. "Drizzy is here!" I yelled to Ciara. "Let him in I'm getting dressed in Rad's room!!" She yelled back. "Where to? The living room or the room?" I asked her. "Living room!" She said. I opened the door and let them in. "What's up ya? And Ciara said head to the living room" I said pointing straight. "Alright good looking but where she at?" Drizzy asked me. He still makes my skin crawl for some reason. "In her room but she's not dressed" I said. And Sosa started laughing. "Fuck is funny?" I asked mugging him. "Chill out. You do know you yay high right?" He laughed. "And I still beat bitches ass left to right ask about me" I said brushed passed them. "So I don't get no hi?" Jace asked me. "I'm sorry its just Sosa ugly ass is very annoying" I sighed and hugged him. "Mhmm you smell good. Let me get some of that lotion" Jace said. "Alright make sure Sosa don't turn nothing ugly" I said and he started laughing. "She's like a fucking chihuahua with her mean ass" I heard Sosa say making Jace and Drizzy laugh. "And you're like a fucking platypus!" I yelled and they laughed some more. I grabbed my lotion off the dresser and Ciara was fully dressed with these leggings on and a tank top. "Thot walk" I laughed. "Shut up but what they doing?" She asked following behind me. "Sitting on the couch" I shrugged. And we walked back into the living room together. "Baby!!" Ciara squealed running to Drizzy. I just sat in the single couch and turned on the TV so I don't have to watch them be all googly eyes for each other. "Where um Capser, Andy and Poppa at?" I asked them. "Them niggas in Long island making bread boy. They're going to be shitting" Sosa said counting his money. I started laughing. "What?" He asked looking up. "Why couldn't you just say they're making money and they're going to show off the money they got?" I asked smirking. I like arguing with him now. "Shut up with your mean ass but you funny as fuck" he laughed. "I know nah let me stop you cool" I laughed. "Jai can you come with me to the store? I'm starving" Jace said touching his stomach. "No he ain't that nigga getting jealous that you're getting all of my attention!" Sosa laughed throwing his head back. "Awww" Ciara and Drizzy cooed. I looked at Jace waiting for hint o deny it but all he do was smile. "Ya on us but you coming Jai?" He asked laughing a little. "Yeah hold on" I said and went to put on my coat. And my phone rang when I was walking back to the living room. So I picked it up and signaled Jace to come on.
It was Riley finally calling me back.
"Ummm we must fight when I get back"
"Why?! I miss you Jaidell. Where you been?!"
"I'm in New York at my dad's house but no you didn't why haven't you been answering your phone?"
"Girl I've been busy!! Butters have been packed full house for the past few weeks. And to be honest I think more people is still coming in when its over capacity"
"You had me worried Riley but at least you making your money so you can spend it on your god baby"
"Wait.... Oh my god you're having a baby!! Please can I see your belly?!!! And you're damn right my god baby is going to be spoiled!! I hope its a girl though because if its a boy I'm going to make him a ho"
"Ashton said the same thing"
"How many months are you?"
"About to be three"
"Awww so you're about to start showing awww Jaidell how fucking cute?!"
"Merry Christmas"
"Yes I'll accept that gift kindly! I'm about to cry". And we started laughing.
"You play too much Riley."
"I know but you heard about that new strip club Random?"
"Yeah Ashton told me about it not too long ago"
"We got to check that out when you get back"
"Yessss that's if Ashton let's me that boy been ringing my damn ear about fruits and eating healthy"
"Awww he's going to be a great dad"
"I hope so. I have ninety people questioning me about school"
"Yeah so what is up about that?"
"Make that ninety one but yeah I'm going"
"Oh okay but its nice to hear from you and congrats boobie but I need some resssst"
"Okay thanks Riley and start answering that damn phone of yours!"
"I will mommy!"
"Whatever but later Ry". "You want something?" Jace asked me. "No thank you" I smiled and watch him order his sandwich then grab a lot of snacks. "I ordered you a strawberry banana smoothie and a fruit salad. I forgot you got baby" he smiled. "Thank you" I smiled and he paid for our stuff. "Soooo how was your Christmas?" I asked him. "Lit! My moms and pops was real hype off the stuff I got them and my little sister kept on dancing about her doll house that I got her" he smiled. Awww he's a family man !! "That's so sweet but what about what you got?" I asked him. He grabbed the bag and we left the store. He shrugged his shoulders and started smiling. "I brought myself a new car and my parents got me some other stuff" Jace said. "That's what's up" I said and we walked into my dad building. "How about you? I know your spoiled ass got hella gifts" he smirked. "Yeah I got enough" I giggled making him laugh as well. "I knew it" he chuckled. Walking in the house Ciara and Drizzy was gone while Sosa was knocked out on the couch, his shoes were off and all. We started laughing at him. "He lucky his feet don't stink or I would've bothered him" I laughed and sat down next to Jace. "Let's watch a movie" Jace said passing me the remote. "Go ahead and look for something" I shrugged and popped open the fruit salad. "You want?". "Nah go ahead that's all for you and mini Jai". I shrugged and started eating the fruits which tasted like heaveeeen. "You watched this before?" Jace asked looking at me. "What's this?" I asked him. "Blood sport. Its real good but you can turn if you want" Jace said. "No we can watch it. Besides that white boy is cute" I said watching the TV. Jace laughed at me and shook his head. We started watching the movie and it turned out being real good. And I ended up falling asleep as well.
