Forty Three.

Mercedes Kelly

"Good morning baby boy." I cooed hovering over Christian in his crib.

He started to wail making me pick him up. I checked his diaper and saw his diaper was full of shit that mushed up to his back and down his leg. I scrunched up my face gagging slightly. I stripped him out of the onesie and carried him to the bathroom.

"Aww don't cry my shitty baby."

His soft cries filled the room while I ran the warm water before placing him in the baby tub. I washed him up and put clean clothes on him. In the kitchen I warmed his bottle and poured some out on my skin checking the temperature. After I thought it was right I gave him his bottle while he laid in my arms.

I turned on the TV and Mickey Mouse popped up catching his attention. By now Chris has grown a liking for Mickey Mouse and SpongeBob. I didn't want him watching that shit because it's stupid as hell.

The front door opened and slammed shut making Chris jump. I rolled my eyes and tightened my grip on Chris preparing for his fathers lies.

"Where were you?" I asked not looking over my shoulder as I walked into the kitchen.

"Huh?" He asked taking Christian.

"If you can huh you could hear. Where. Were. You?" I slammed the pan on the stove.

"Coach called me in for a practice. I gotta get ready for the pro bowl." I rolled my eyes at that quick ass lie.

Practice for a pro bowl? He has to come up with a better lies than that.

"Boy you gotta do better. So what's this other baby mama name?" He paused from playing with Chris and turned around.

"What are you talking about? The only baby mama I have is you."

"Now I'm just a baby momma? She's taking over my status too huh?" I chuckled watching him shift around.

"You know what I meant, son just leave me the fuck alone. Every time I come home you're always accusing me for shit. Let me come home in peace for once, fuck." He knocked down the vase making it shatter. Christian jumped dropping his bottle and started crying.

"Give me my damn son. Are you crazy nigga?" I mushed his head and he glared at me.

"Why are you still lying to me?! I know the truth already and you're still lying with your lying ass. Every since Aaliyah was throwing slick shots I caught on. I was just waiting for you too confront me about, but no! Not shit from you!" Tears were streaming down my face by now.

"Then why'd you ask me?" He asked nonchalantly.

I picked up a plate and threw it. Luckily I missed him by a inch or he would've been in the Emergency room.

"Bitch are you out of your mind?" He yelled and I raised my eyebrows.

"Oh now i'm a bitch? I could be but I'm not gonna turn up on you yet. As soon as the baby's born I want a DNA test. I swear to god if that baby's yours, I'm leaving."

"You ain't going no where." He grabbed my arm making me yank it back.

"Watch me. As soon as I step out that door with my son it's all gone. Let it be positive." I gritted out.

"Mercedes please, aight I'm sorry for all of this. She's a stripper for Christ sakes so that's another chance that- that's not my baby. Just wait until the test is done until you make the decison." He pleaded.

"A stripper, are you fucking crazy? You fucked a stripper and got her pregnant! How disgusting! Dirty dick ass nigga!" I yelled in disbelief.

"The baby is not fucking mine!" He yelled out storming out the house slamming the door.

Aaliyah Kelly

I shook my leg as I sat in the living room. The TV was playing but all I heard was nothing. I was tuning everything out near me and I didn't want to be bothered with anybody. It was one of those days where you was just mad at the world so you took it out on other people.

All I was thinking about was what happened at the baby shower. If I would've kept my mouth shut nobody would've known. But I had to say something for the sakes of helping my little sister from the fuckboy. We were both wrong and being stubborn is not going to help our situation

That day still hunts me. From me breaking up with him, to him raping me, and me going to the doctor hearing the devastating news. I love kids and wanted to have mini me's running around but he changed that. All because I wanted to end that toxic relationship we shared. I didn't want Mercedes to deal with the same stuff I had to deal with so I had to tell her somehow.

My sister, well Mercedes had her baby a few days ago and I wanted to go but something keeps stopping me. I feel like if I go up there I'll fuck Mercedes up. Her words really got too me. I know what I said too her was out of order but I was mad. She should've never said anything back.

That was important to me and I never wanted to discuss that. Especially if it was a secret between us that nobody knew. I still love her because she's family but sometimes she's wrong and she doesn't think that.

"Babe I feel bad and I wanna apologize too Cedes, should I?" I laid on Jarvis chest tracing his tattoos:

"Nah, I wouldn't but it's your choice. Let her come too you first if she's real. If she don't do that, fuck her." He stated with his chest vibrating from every word.

"Jarvis family isn't supposed to fight. Of course we fought like this when we were little but we never exchanged words like that. I expected us to make up days after." I spoke honestly making him sigh.

"Like I said baby if she doesn't wanna act her age and apologize for what's he said to you, fuck her. She was wrong for her words and thought that was okay."

"But she's still my sister. Blood sister."

"Look at what she said in front of everybody. Do you think she gives a fuck about you being her sister? Blood don't make you family baby girl. Loyalty does."
