8 months later .. 1:35 PM , November 1.

Demony is finally getting out today.
My brother been gone for 8 months.
I'm so happy for him to come home.
I'm officially legal now.
The big 18.
I ended up having my party too.
It was a ball.
I had so much fun.

Dez is fully recovered now.
And .. me and Mylin are a thing now.
I love him so much.
Me and Bleu sit front row at all his games.
I got his jersey hanging up in my room.
But .. me and Dez still mess around from time to time when Milyn is out of state for games.
I just can't let Dez go.
I don't know why but .. i'm stuck on him.

I sat on my bed with Bleu and Mylin when I got a phone call.
It was Ki'moura.
Me and her are now the best terms I think we've ever been.
We are so much more transparent with each other now.

"Yea moura?" I asked while laying in Mylins chest.
"Ahhh! Tae! I think this baby is coming! Ahhh fuck!" She yelled.
"Wait what?! Where you at?" I asked as I jumped up.
"I'm in the house! Nobody's here and I can't get off the floor!" She said.
"Alright , don't move! I'm on my way okay?! Breathe. Slow and steady breaths okay?!" I said as I got up and threw on some sweatpants and a hoodie.
"Okay." She said , breathing heavy.

I hung up and grabbed my purse.

"What's going on?!" Mylin asked.
"Ki'moura's in labor and I gotta go get her and take her to the hospital. Ima call you in a lil bit okay? I love you both." I said as I gave him a kiss and kissed Bleu's forehead.

I ran downstairs and jumped in my car.
I sped to Ki'moura's and TJ's house.
I pulled up and ran to the door.
I twisted the knob and it was open.
Ki'moura was sitting on the floor with her legs spread.
She had on shorts and a hoodie.

"Bitch come help me up so I can go push this damn baby out. Ion wanna be pregnant another moment." She said , laughing.

I grabbed her hand and helped her up.
We walked to the car and got in.

2 hours later ..
Me and her mom was standing by Ki'moura's hospital bed as she pushed out a whole life.
She was screaming my damn ears off.

"TAE I CAN'T DO IT!" She yelled mid push.
"You got this! You gon be alright! Just push!" I said.
"AHHHHHHHH!" She yelled as he did her last push.

A few seconds later , we heard him cry.

"You have a beautiful baby boy." The doctor said.
"He's a boy .. Tae he's a boy .." Ki'moura said , out of breath.

Ki'moura always dreamed of having a son.
Even when we were kids.
She always wanted her a lil boy.
The doctor handed Ki'moura the baby.
Ki'moura started crying.

"Aww baby it's okay! You a mommy now!" Ki'moura's mother said with tears running down her face.
"You finally got your lil boy .." I said it's tears running down mines too.
"Aww stop yall , y'all gon make me cry foreal." Ki'moura said laughing.
"What his name?" I asked , wiping my tears and sniffling.
"Najhour ... Najhour RaHeim Banks." Ki'moura said.

And there he was

And there he was .. Najhour.
He was so precious.
Ki'moura's mom held the baby first , and then me.
I sat in the chair with him and rocked him.
Ki'moura was sleep and her mom left to go back to work.
Then all of a sudden .. Clay came in.
Me and him haven't spoken in 5 months.

Before we stop talking , we got into a bad argument.
He slapped me and I got in my feelings bad so I just stoped responding to his text and calls.

"Hey .." Clay said.
"Hey .. wanna see him?" I asked.
"Y- yeah .. i'm kinda scared." Clay said.
"Why? You had a kids before." I said.
"Yea but .. it was never this- this sentimental. I never thought I would be this soft over a lil baby." He said.
"He's not just a lil baby tho .. he could possibly be your son." I said as I stood up with Najhour in my arms.
"True .." He said as I handed him the baby.

Clay sat in the chair with the baby and just stared at the baby.
Like he was admiring him.
That's when I knew what he felt.
He felt nervous.
What if that wasn't his baby?
What if that's Demony's baby?
Clays gonna be crushed.
Ima be happy tho.
I'll have a nephew , and I can finally say that Clay did not get Ki'moura pregnant.

And then .. Demony came in.
I ran and hugged my brother as quick as I could.
He hugged me back with no hesitation.
We hugged for like 5 minutes.
I missed my brother to the moon and back.

"Ohh shit , they finally let a real nigga come home?" Clay said , smiling.
"You know it." Demony said , smiling back and walking over to him.
They dapped each other up.

That's when Demony seen Najhour.
He was surprised.

"Tae what's his name?" Demony asked.
"Najhour RaHeim Banks." I said.
"Wow .. he's- he's beautiful."
"I know right? It's just like .. i've never seen something so meaningful besides babies. It's like they do something to your heart." Clay said.

The doctor came in.

"It's Dna time .." The doctor said.

Me , Demony , and Clay all looked at each other.
All of our hearts dropped to our ass.
