"Okay next one Love Bug." Lyric told Mila as she did her homework. She was doing homeschool for a while on k12 until she got better.

Mila actually liked it because she could stay at home all day but it wasn't easy for Lyric because she had to watch her and get her work done at the same time.

"When is Daddy coming over?" Mila asked looking up from her laptop. "Soon,he's bringing us pizza and wings." Mila smiled and turned back to her computer.

Lyric was about to stand up but didn't want to leave Mila by herself. "Mama I'm fine." Lyric shook her head. "No I'll stay right here."

She barely left Mila's side since she left the hospital a couple weeks ago. "Are you gonna do this on your birthday too?" Mila asked. Lyric shrugged.

"If I have to,but I'd rather spend my birthday with you anyway." Lyric smiled pinching her chubby cheeks. and Mila playfully rolled her eyes.

Lyric and Maceon was turning twenty six tomorrow. Man does time fly. Lyric heard the front door open and close and she knew it was O'shea.

"Aye!" Mila jumped up and Lyric stopped her. "Be careful." Mila sighed and nodded walking to the living room.

Lyric knew she was giving her a hard time but she was just doing what any mother would do. Lyric followed her and saw them both in the kitchen.

"Hey." O'shea gave her a small smile and Lyric gave him one in return. "I got you a mixture of wings..so barbeque,hot,and lemon pepper." Lyric furrowed her eyebrows.

"Well thank you,I didn't ask for any of this." Lyric smiled and kissed his cheek. Then she started thinking about Courtney's situation.

"You okay? You zoned out a little there." O'shea said. "I'm fine." O'shea nodded. "I wanted to talk to you about something." He said lowly so Mila wouldn't here.

They both watched her eat like it was her last meal. "About?" "Courtney." Lyric nodded slowly. "Oh okay." He grabbed her hand and they sat on the couch.

"What?" She asked. O'shea took a deep breath. "She had a miscarriage." Lyric frowned. "A..miscarriage?" She asked. "Yea." He sighed shaking his head.

"I couldn't believe it either,I was actually very excited you know?" He said. Lyric nodded. "Yea." "You probably don't wanna hear this-"

"I do,keep talking." O'shea nodded. "Honestly I don't know how to feel..obviously it wasn't meant to be and I can't get mad at that. I know I'm sad but I know everything happens for a reason."

Lyric was silent. She couldn't hold it in any longer. "O'shea I have to tell you something." He raised a brow. She opened her mouth when someone knocked on the door interrupting her.

She sighed standing up and walking to the door. Her face fell when she saw Luke outside with his arms folded. Lyric quickly opened the door then stepped out.

"So this is how you do me?" Luke asked getting all in her face. Lyric softly pushed him off of her. "Do you like what?" She asked.

"I've been calling,texting,and even sending your ass voicemails." Lyric raised a brow.

"I got alot going on-" "Like what besides fucking your baby daddy?" He asked. Lyric frowned. "My daughter is right there." Luke closed his mouth.

"My bad." He mumbled. Lyric shook her head. "If you never wanted to be with me why didn't you say anything? You got me looking stupid..like I'm a clown or some shit."

"I didn't know what I wanted." "Then you could've just told me that." "I didn't want to hurt your feelings." "Nah you didn't." He lied.

"And why because I'm still a kid in your eyes? I'm a grown man..I don't need you treating me like a kid." Lyric nodded.

"Okay and I apologize for leading you on like that but at the same time you knew what we were..I told you not to catch any feelings." Luke stared at her for a second then nodded.

"My mistake." He turned around and walked down the hallway. O'shea opened the door after hearing the whole conversation.

He was about to speak when she just brushed past him through the door.

"I'm glad you finally decided to come outside." Naomi told Lyric as they got their nails done. It was all of the girls,Daijah, Erin,Miraiya, Mila and Taylor.

"I needed to come outside,I was dying in that house." Lyric mumbled. "You can't keep Mila in the house forever you know." Naomi looked at Lyric.

"I can forever if I wanted to,as long as I know she's safe." "Then she'll leave and never come back again,im telling you to let her breathe."

"I guess." Lyric looked up at Erin who was now getting her toes done. "Daijah told me y'all got into a fight?" Lyric asked. Naomi sighed.

"Yea,I don't know what she's doing but she's preganant again." Lyric sighed. "You want me to do anything?" Lyric asked.

"Nah I got her ass,after she have this baby I'm kicking her out." Lyric frowned. "Mama-" "Don't try to stop me cause I already made up my mind..that little girl put her hands on me."

Lyric was silent. "She's the most ungrateful child I have,I don't know what's going on with her." "It's probably because she didn't get enough attention." Naomi smacked her lips.

"That aint no excuse." "Think about it.. you had Mace and I and we're the oldest,then you got Ej, Dominick and he's a little kid..Elijah was a baby and then you had Daijah.

Erin probably just felt alone and I think that's why she kept talking to people on the internet..it was a house full of kids Ma." Naomi was silent.

"Just think about it and try to talk to her. Please. She's gets on my nerves and I would love to fight her but she's still my sister."

"Alright I talk to her but if she can't get her shit together then she's gone. I don't give a fuck..we had a fist fight Lyric." Naomi raised a brow and Lyric nodded.

"If Mila punched the shit outta you you wouldn't beat her ass?" "I would-" "Okay then,you too soft of her." "I'm not too soft and I'm not too hard on her either."

"That's the problem,give her tough love." "Mila isn't like that,she has her attitude problems but that's it..she's not disrespectful and I'm not putting my hands on her. She been through too much."

"Okay." Naomi shook her head and Lyric slightly rolled her eyes. She refused to raise her child like her mother raised her. That's why her and Naomi weren't that close.

"You need anything?" O'shea asked walking inside him and Courtney's room. "No I'm fine,I thought you were gone." Courteny said looking away from the tv.

She was playing the sick and grieving act. "Nah imma stay with you." Courtney smiled a little. "Thanks baby."

"No problem,imma make you a sandwich or something." "Okay." O'shea walked out of the room and into the kitchen.

He noticed some mail on the counter and went through them. Some were bills,other people's mail and a letter from a clinic.

O'shea knew it was probably about the miscarriage so he opened it up and read it not expecting what he was gonna read.
