Cane

I got to the edge of Queens then I parked my truck in an empty lot.

"Get out let's talk." I told him and we got out I made sure the safety off and tucked my gun in my jeans then I walked over Tariq

"What happens in our house stays in our house. You hear me nigga?"

"You don't have to scare me Cane I'm cool alright?"

"Nigga I don't fucking know you. you seem kinda hot to me."

"Not as hot as your Uncle Frank." He said and I stepped to him

"Nigga don't come out your mouth about my family Frank's' been around for a minute."

"Your uncle Frank's a fucking rat."

"What the fuck you say?"

"Why you think he got out so early without telling anyone? Rats get out quick and quiet so no one notices." He said and I thought about what he said and it made perfect sense. I still didn't trust this little nigga but he'll get by today.

"Look nigga I'm keeping Zeke on the team which is keeping me in school. We're on the same team I'm not a treat to your family you can tell Monet that," He said and I let him get back into the car and drove him the rest of the way

+++++++++++++++++++++

I was putting away the leftovers as Diana washed the dishes Zeke's lazy ass when to watch T.V.

"Did you see what I saw?" Mo asked as she walked into the kitchen

"I did." I told her

"Good, Diana?"

"I don't know?"

"What do you think we should do about Frank?"

"Well you always say family first right?"

"D there's a difference between family and blood. How did you think he got out with no warning?"

"D I want you to see these signs, Lauren you already know what I know. So from what going on from here the less you hear the better

"Yes ma'am." I said then walked out the kitchen, I walked to the stairs as Cane came back

"Where's ma?" He asked

"In the kitchen with D."

I walked into Cane's room I've been sleeping in here for the past couple of weeks. We haven't done anything we were still working on rebuilding our trust, I just l0ve being close to him. I changed into a tank and some shorts, while I was changing I noticed a little bump I would be 13 weeks next week and I still couldn't bring myself to get excited. I can't shake this anxiety and fear and I know it's not good to be worrying all the time but I can't help it. I now carried a small bump that seemed to be growing everyday

"I think you look sexy." I jumped and turned to see Cane

"Stop playing." I said rolling my eyes then I let my shirt down, he walked over and put his hand on my stomach

"You poking." He said and I pushed his hand away

"Yeah I guess, I said getting into the bed

"What's wrong?" He asked sitting next to me

"Nothing was everything cool with Tariq?" I asked changing the subject

"Yeah, I got him handled."

"And Frank?" I asked and he gave me a look that told me everything I needed to know, he got off the bed and took his shirt off

"How was your doctor's appointment?" He asked

"It was good," I said laying down I felt the bed move then I felt his arms wrap around me

"What's wrong Boog? For real talk to me."

"I'm ok." I said not wanting to talk about it, he kissed my neck, then my cheek then he tugged on my arm and I rolled onto my back

"Cane." I sighed he kissed me softly

"Stop worrying."

"Easier said than done."

"Talk to me baby."

"I don't really have nothing to say, doctor says everything is ok so lets just leave it alone."

He got up and moved to the end of the bed I felt him lift my shirt

"Stop." I said trying to push him away but he moved my hands

"Chill let me kick it with my shorty." He said then I felt him kiss my stomach a couple times then I heard him start talking

"What's up in there little man?"

"How are you just going to assume it's a boy?" I asked looked down at him he frowned


"Um this is a grown man conversation mind your business." He said and I rolled my eyes and smiled

"That's your mama being nosy, you just gone have to get used to it." He said and I lightly hit the back of his head

"She violent too. Anyway you good in there? I know you are all the shit you been putting your mama through. I know you're strong and you got your big brother watching over you. So lets help your mommy relax while you're baking." He kissed my stomach again and I rubbed his back as he kept whispering to the baby I listened to his words and they helped me relax until I fell asleep
