Later that night, Steven and Malaysia are on the couch watching TV while Sierra is in her room sleeping.

"She's a pretty good baby", said Malaysia. "She doesn't cry a lot like King did"

"King was a cry baby", said Steven joking.

"I think I spoiled him too much", said Malaysia.

"...I wish I spent more time with him", said Steven.

"...I haven't even looked at pictures of him yet. I just don't wanna see him and not be able to get him back and want him even more", said Malaysia. "I know he's probably handsome like you though"

"Bae...I don't think we'll win the case", said Steven.

"I don't either... it's been too long. But we can't help but try...but like I said, even if we don't get him, they deserve him. He's the best blessing anyone can ever ask for especially since she can't have kids", said Malaysia.

"...do you wanna continue the case?", he asked.

"Do you?", she asked. "I mean we can always have another baby...she can't. And who knows...maybe one day when he's older we'll be able to meet him"

"Yea maybe we can arrange that", said Steven.

"...I don't even know if I can face him after what happened...he's probably attached to them now and loves them. I don't wanna hurt him and hurt them just to make myself happy", said Malaysia.

"...I'll call the lawyer", said Steven.

"Let me think on it some more. We have 5 months", said Malaysia.

"4 now", said Steven.

"Oh yea", said Malaysia.

"I'm about to get something to drink. You need something?", he asked.

"No", said Malaysia.

Steven walked into the kitchen.

Malaysia's phone went off so she looked at the message.

📲TEXT MESSAGE

💬6466667682: hey bae

Steven walks out of the kitchen with a can of soda.

Malaysia looks at him then back at her phone.

"Who that?", asked Steven.

"Who is who?", asked Malaysia.

Steven snatched the phone from her hand.

"Don't play with me", he said.

Malaysia stood up.

"Sit back down. You fight me for this phone then we can just call it quits", said Steven.

"No because you're going to see something that isn't true", said Malaysia. "I don't even know who this person is"

Steven looks at the message.

"Hey bae?", said Steven before he looked at Malaysia. "Damn, how many niggas you been fucking?"

"Like I said before. I don't know who that is", said Malaysia.

Steven called the number and put it on speaker.

"What are you doing?", asked Malaysia.

"When about to see if you know him or not", said Steven.

Malaysia rolled her eyes.

The guy answered the phone.

"Hello?", a deep voice said.

"Who this?", asked Steven.
