Reign

I never imagined that I would be laying my son to rest. It angered the fuck out of me and here I am staring at his little casket as they prepared to lower him into the ground. It was even more difficult because I had to be strong for Daiya. She stood next to me crying her eyes out and I just wrapped my arms around her.

I had my blacked out sunglasses on because I didn't want anyone trying to look me in the eyes. I paid attention to everything around me. I noticed Detective Crawford standing off to the side but what really pissed me off is seeing Zander bitch ass in the distance with a smirk on his face. This nigga think shit is a game and he got the right motherfucka to play with.

I released my arms from Daiya and ziplined in his direction. Legend noticed what was going on and was hot on my trail without trying to cause an even bigger scene.

"Reign, not here." I heard Legend say.

Fuck that, I wasn't trying to hear what he had to say. I'm literally burying my fucking child and this nigga trying to play with me. It's disrespectful as fuck.

"Why the fuck are you here?" I questioned Zander as he stood next to a tree trying to appear cool.

I stood in front of him trying to figure out this nigga.

"I came to pay my respects." Zander grinned.

I reached for my gun that was in my waist and Legend stopped me. "Not here bro."

"All I'm gonna say to you is eye for an eye bitch ass nigga."

He laughed. "You threatening me?"

"You a dead ass nigga walking. You gonna feel me, believe that. Get the fuck up out here. I won't tell you again." I told him before turning to walk away with Legend.

He think he gonna take my child from me and that's the end of it. Fuck no. I want blood and I plan to get that shit. I couldn't even process any of this shit that was going on because I spotted Saniya here approaching me along with Daiya coming from a different direction.

Fuck, I didn't need this right now.

Saniya got to me first and I had to play her to the side because Daiya came a second after.

"What's up?" I asked Saniya.

"I just wanted to give my condolences and let you know that if you need anything just give me a call." Saniya said.

Daiya looked confused. "Saniya, I wasn't expecting to see you here."

"Yeah I wanted to check in with Reign. I imagine losing a child isn't easy." Saniya said never taking her eyes off of me.

"Well we thank you for stopping by. It's been hard for us both." Daiya said wrapping her arms around me.

Saniya looked pissed once she saw Daiya touch me. "Take care and I'll see you two around."

I didn't say anything because I couldn't. I thought she was going to air out everything right then and there. I'm glad she didn't because I don't think Daiya could take anymore pain right now. I'll need to reach out to Saniya later on and make shit right with her.

"You good?" I asked looking down at Daiya.

"No baby, I want to get out here. I can't take much more of this. It's just too much for me." She sighed.

"Maybe go home after all of this and try to get some rest." I suggested.

"You're going to leave me to be alone Reign? I need you right now."
