Seven days later

"Eli help me" Alex cries trying to peel his hand from his face, I superglued them together while he was asleep last night. "Bella, you took this way too far"

"I wanted to strap you to your bed then hang it off the balcony. Elijah made me settle for this so be thankful" I shrug untwisting Tiana hair, her Afro looks amazing.

"That would have been extreme " Elijah chuckles laying on his back, touching my hair

"Thank you" Tiana smiles looking at it through her phone

"No problem"

"Mama, I seen fishy" Delilah yawns rubbing her eyes coming into Elijah and I's bedroom

"When?" I questioned confusedly, there's no fishes in this house

"Sleeping, I saw fishy"

Hell no, it can't be me we used condoms

Tiana and I shared a look before I spoke.

"Is it you?" I ask Tiana

"No it can't be, Remo and I haven't reached that part of our relationship yet" she shakes her head, getting off the floor stretching

"I'm confused" Elijah says giving us confused looks

"Don't worry about it" I waved him off not wanting to get his hopes up and end up being a false alarm

"Breakfast is ready" Benjamin yells from the hallway

"Let's eat!" I got up quickly picking up Delilah leaving the room "how many fishy's did you see?"

"Umm five" Delilah says holding up her hand, wiggling her fingers

"Dang" Tiana chokes patting her chest

"Somebody got me fucked up" I scoff as me got to the dining room, Elijah walks in pulling his shirt over his head

"What's wrong?" He asks sitting beside me

"Nothing"

"Are you hiding something?"

"No, I'll tell you later"

"Okay" he nods taking a hold of my hand, grabbing his cup he looked at it briefly before taking a sip

I took six different pregnancy test to confirm the theory, they all came back negative.

"Okay so if not me then who?" I mumble confusedly

"Babe, let me in. I have to pee" Elijah yells banging on the bathroom door

"There's like ten different bathrooms in this house and your choosing this one?" I ask opening the door, he ignored me going straight to the toilet. He glanced at the counter doing a double take.

"Why do you have so many pregnancy tests?"

"Delilah has a dream about fishes. It's myth that if someone dreams of fishes then a person their close to or a person in their family is pregnant, I had to know it if was me if not"

". . . Are you pregnant?" he questions flushing the toilet, zipping up his pants

"No"

"Oh" he nods washing his hands

"Mr.Eli, you have a visitor" Benjamin says knocking on the bathroom door

"Can you see who it is? I need to change into something more appropriate" Elijah motions to his pjs and tank top
