My Thug Love #Wattys2016

Chapter 14: Welcome Home

"Aw look at them sleep.", Deshawn says. "Nigga grab one of them and come on.", I say. Deshawn picks up Kimora and Elliot grabs Kamila.

"Now remember no sex for six weeks.", the nurse says. "Six weeks?", Deshawn asks. "Six weeks nigga.", I say. "Oh and here.", the nurse says handing Elliot something. "What's this?", Elliot asks. "My number.", the nurse says walking out.

"Aye you pulling white hoes now?", Deshawn asks. "Nah fuck outta here. I gotta girl.", Elliot says. "Who says you can't have more than one?", Deshawn asks. "Nigga you lucky you holding my motherfucking child or else. He not fucking cheating on my bestfriend for some pink pussy. Also you better not be entertaining these lil hoes in the streets. You know where the fuck home at.", I say. "I'm just kidding. One girl is enough for me.", Deshawn says. "I mean technically you got three girls, four if you count her mean ass little sister.", Elliot says.

"Five if he count the girl who been down since grade school.", Dennver says. "Nah he don't count you. You mine.", Elliot says. "Anyway can we leave? I been in this damn hospital too long.", I say. Dennver grabs the bags and we walk out of the room.

"Have fun with your daughters.", Diane says. "I will. Thank you for everything.", I say. "Hey no problem.", Diane says. We get to the car and I get in the backseat. Elliot and Deshawn put the babies in their carriers. "We'll meet y'all at the house. We gotta do something real quick.", Deshawn says. "What are you doing?", I ask. Deshawn looks off trying to ignore my question.

"Deshawn what the fuck are you gonna do?", I ask. "Don't worry about it, babe.", Deshawn says and kisses me. "Ok fine. See y'all later I guess.", I say. Dennver gets in the driver seat and drives off. "I'm sure everything will be fine.", Dennver says. "I really hope so.", I say looking at the twins.

We pull up to the house and see Aria, Brittish, and Christian sitting on the porch. I get out of the car. "Where are my nieces?", Brittish asks. "Damn you not gon speak?", I ask. "Hey sissy, where are my nieces?", Brittish asks. "Backseat.", I say.

"Where's Deshawn?", Aria asks. "He had to go do something.", I say. "Now Deshawn may not be the brightest bulb in the pack, but he is not dumb enough to do illegal shit knowing his girl just had his kids.", Dennver says. "Even though I don't know him that well I highly doubt he would do something like that.", Aria says. "I hope y'all are right.", I say.

"Kids grab the babies. I'll grab your bags.", Aria says. I unlock the door and lead them to the twins' nursery. "Whew I am beyond tired.", I say plopping down in a chair. "Just take a nap. We will wake you up when Deshawn gets home.", Dennver says. "Shit don't have to tell me twice.", I say and drift off the sleep.

I wake up and it seems like everyone is gone. I get up and go to the living room. "Hey sleeping beauty.", Dennver says. "I thought y'all was gon wake me up when he got home.", I say. "You looked so peaceful so we decided to let you sleep. You're gonna need all the sleep you can get.", Aria says. I go sit on Deshawn's lap. "Can we talk?", I ask. "Yea lets go.", Deshawn says and we go to our room.

"So what did you go do?", I ask. "This again. I told you not to worry about me.", Deshawn says. "How the fuck do you expect me to not worry about you? Shit I did enough worrying when it was just us, but now I'm worrying for three. I don't want my babies to grow up like I did.", I say. "I didn't do anything crazy.", Deshawn says. "Then why can't you tell me? I'm your girlfriend and the mother of your children. You trust me with everything else so why is this the thing you can't tell me?", I say.

"I went to visit my mom.", Deshawn says. "Huh?", I ask. "She got out of prison about three months ago and now she's in the hospital with stage 4 cancer. No one knows because if my dad found out he would be beyond furious.", Deshawn says. "Why?", I ask. "Well he set her up and basically had her put on death row. Some people figured out that she was innocent and she was set free. Not long after my mom was diagnosed with stage 4 AIDS-related Lymphoma.", Deshawn says.

"Aw babe I'm so sorry.", I say and sit on his lap. "Well now that you know you can't tell anyone. My mom has security outside of her hospital room 24/7 because my dad has been alerted about her being set free.", Deshawn says. "Wait is me knowing this putting me in danger?", I ask. "It could potentially, but I highly doubt it will. The FBI is investigating my dad.", Deshawn says. "Ok, I trust you.", I say. "Thank you baby.", Deshawn says then kisses me.

One of the babies starts crying. "Well this is our new life I guess.", I say. We go to their nursery. "Aw Milly, what's wrong?", I ask. "That diaper is definitely full.", Deshawn says holding Kamila out towards me. "Boy change your daughter's diaper.", I say.

My phone rings and it wakes up Kimora. "Hello? Hi Mom. We're in the nursery with the twins now. Mom who is-Mom where are you? Mom? I just fucking knew you couldn't stay clean. Keep your junky ass away from me and my fucking kids.", I say then hang up. I rock Kimora back to sleep all while crying. Deshawn comes behind me and wraps his arms around me.

"You know I really thought this time would be different.", I say. "Your mom needs serious help. Like maybe a rehab center.", Deshawn says. "I don't wanna break the news to Ant that she relapsed, but I know I should.", I say. "Why don't you wanna tell him?", Deshawn asks. "You know that he and Miss Cici basically had to raise me because she wasn't there. Also he'd seen her prior to the addiction, through her worst moments, and he forced her to get clean for my sake. I guess she figured that I was grown now and had my own children that she didn't need to be clean anymore.", I say.

Deshawn hugs me tighter. "We have to do better.", Deshawn says after a while. "Hm?", I ask. "We were both raised in some toxic ass households so we have to be better parents.", Deshawn says. "Definitely.", I say.
