Mine

Chapter 19:

Jazmine

I left the mall with a crying Kjayy. Luckily Jayceon always puts his keys in my bag when we are together.

When I pulled up at my house. I looked back and noticed Kjayy cried himself to sleep. I couldn't hold it in anymore. I broke down crying.

Someone knocked on the car window making me jump. I look and see Xavier.

"Zay," I mumbled as he opened the door and helped me out.

"I know lil sis, come on so I can take you to get little man checked. Get in my car while I get Kjayy out."

"Did you talk to him?" I ask while X finished putting Kjayy and his seat in the back and hopped in the front.

"Nah, we got some of them pigs on payroll. Word got back to me what he wanted me to do. You should be getting a call from him soon so keep ya phone close." I nodded.

We got to the hospital and checked on the baby and they said everything was fine with us, but gave me signs and symptoms to watch for. When we were walking out of the hospital Kjayy woke up in Xavier's arms looking around then started crying.

"Aye, little man you never cry," X said putting him in the car.

"I want my daddy!" Kjayy said as he begin crying louder.

"Kody," I said looking back at him.

He calmed down at my voice but didn't stop. He reached his arms out for me. I made X take him out his seat and hand him to me. I held him as he calmed down even more as we sat in the hospital parking lot.

My phone started ringing. My heart sped up hoping it's Jay.

"Jail number," X said seeing the number pop up.

"Hello?" I answer.

"I'm sorry." Was the first thing that came out of Jay's mouth.

"No need to be," I said trying not to cry.

"When shit like shit effects you and my sons I got every reason to be." I was quiet because I didn't trust my voice. "Did you go to the hospital?"

"Yeah, we're fine. What about you?"

"I'm dealing. They trying to give me bullshit drug charges when I ain't have shit on me, just bullshit. These mothafuckas been plotting to get one of us in here. I got a good lawyer tho so don't stress ya self worrying about me. I'ma be good and home to my family before you know it."

"Okay Jay," I said quietly so my voice wouldn't crack too bad.

"Where's Kjayy? He coo? I hate seeing you and my mans cry."

"He's right here cuddled into me watching me talk, he literally just stopped crying."

"Put me on speaker." I did as he told me. "Aye, Kody?" Jay said through the phone.

"Dad!" Kjayy said with excitement. Then his face dropped. "Where are you? When are you coming back?"

"Remember what I told you? When I'm away from the house you're the what, while I'm gone." Kjayy only nodded as a tear fell.

"He's nodding," I said.

"I need ya word, Kjayy."

"I'm the man of the house while you're gone," Kjayy finally said.

"Exactly. I'll be home before you know it. Just remember what I said and don't give ya mom a hard time and I mean that."

Kjayy nodded again. "Okay."

"I love you, Kody."

"I love you too."

"I love you too, Jazmine."

"I love you, Jayceon."

"Keep that shit wet for me with yo thick ass!" He said loudly through the phone before hanging up. I couldn't help but crack a smile.

"Bruh," X said. "Did he really have to say that?"

I actually forgot he was in the car for a minute. I laughed as he got out and put Kjayy back in his seat in the back.

I decided I wanted to stay at Jay's house tonight so I packed me and Kjayy a couple things then headed to his house with X following my car. He made sure we were good before he left.

Then my phone started ringing with a call from Shay.

"Hell-" I was cut off right away by Shay's voice.

"I heard what happen. Are you okay? Is Kjayy okay? Did you hear from King? What's going on?" She spit questions out at me left and right.

"We're dealing, but okay. Yeah I heard from him already. He didn't tell me much, but I should be finding out more soon."

"Where are you? You need anything? You and new baby Kay good?" I rolled my eyes at her calling my baby kay.

"Shay, slow down sis. We're fine like I said. I could use something tho."

"What? Anything, I got you boo."

"Some cookie dough ice cream and for you to spend the night with me at Jay's house."

"Ya greedy ass. I'ma be there in 30."

"You and my grandsons ok, little Carter?" Pops asked over the phone. Everybody has been calling and checking on me.

"As okay as we can be," I replied.

"Aight, Carmen wanted me to check in on you. She wanted to do call herself, but she can't stop crying long enough to. I'm surprised you're not crying."

"Oh trust me I have been."

"Women," he mumbled making me laugh lightly.

"Whatever, pops. Tell momma I said I love her and to call me when she stops crying."

"Aight little one."

Shay banged on the door just as I got off the phone scaring the shit out of me and Kjayy.

"Bitch, what is your fucking problem?" I snapped as soon as I pull the door open.

"Oh ya pregnant ass must not want this ice cream," she said acting like she was gonna leave.

"I was just joking damn girl," I said snatching the ice cream.

"You're welcome!" she said shutting and locking the door then following me to the living room.

"Thank you, boo," I said as I blew her a kiss and she rolled her eyes playfully.

"Awhh my Kody, come here auntie baby," Shay said when she saw Kjayy's sad face as he laid on the couch watching tv instead of being his hyper self. She picked him up cuddling him.

I shook my head because King would threaten to slap her for babying him.

"Shake ya head all you want and I don't care if you tell King I'm babying him because y'all can both get y'all asses beat." I laughed at her knowing what I was thinking.

"Whatever," I said flagging her off.

"Shay come on you're sleeping with me. I don't want to sleep alone," I said as I dragged her along with me.

"Aight just don't be trying to cuddle, remember I ain't King," she said as we get into bed. I should just put Kjayy in the same bed as me but it took me forever to get him to sleep in his own bed and I don't wanna ruin it now.

"I know," I whined as my eyes teared up again for the hundredth time today.

"Oh please don't cry again."

"I'm not shut up."

"Mhmm goodnight girl."
