Green and Yellow balloons floated through the air as Kiyan, Iggy, and I scoffed down Gerber baby food all in an attempt to win the game. Somehow, I had lucked up and got some nasty ass peas and I didn’t get how babies ate that shit; it tastes like some shit you would feed to an animal.
“Done,” Kiyan raised his empty jar signaling that he had won the game.
“How the hell did I get Peas and this nigga got bananas?” I asked ,being that sore loser that I always had been since we were kids.
“Don’t get mad, because my husband is winning all the games,” a very pregnant Fancy said form her bedazzled chair.
The day of their baby shower had finally come and though she and KB were waiting until the birth to learn the sex of their baby, they decided to go with a gender-neutral baby shower theme, which was Precious Cargo.
“Y’all are taking these games way to seriously,” Pia said, with a laugh.
“Don’t worry because this is exactly how I’ma be at our baby shower when I get you knocked up soon,” Flame said licking the side of her face. He was crazy as hell and so was she, so they fit perfectly. Flame has told us all about what she had did so even if they were on bad terms, she was gone be my sis for life.
“Lies,” Pia said and gave him a look that made him bust out laughing.
“Can we eat already?” I heard Elle whine. Big mama was four months and her once tiny frame was getting bigger and bigger every day.
“Y’all better feed my two pregnant friends!” Beau yelled from Iggy’s lap. She was doing better, and she was healthier these days. She had her good and her bad days, but for the most part she was kicking Cancers ass and her and Iggy balanced each other out, she was the cam to his storm.
“I know right, enough games for now, let’s eat y’all,” Fancy said, getting up from her chair. Kiyan made sure he rushed over to help her.
All of Fancy’s family was in attendance and if we didn’t have any family, she sure had a lot. There had to be at least thirty people from her side and Kiyan had even invited his peoples. He had been getting to know his grandmother and the rest of the folks on his mothers’ side. He was worried about how we would feel but we were all for the shit. If he as good then we were too, but if he wasn’t, shit would go a ruckus.
“What do you want big mama, I will make your plate?” I said to Elle.
“Umm, everything,” she smiled.
I should have known, her greedy ass wanted everything on the menu. We still weren’t together, but we were working on it. The more that I was around her and seeing her pregnant with my kid, it made me want to become more with her, but for now we were just going with the flow.
I walked to where the food was being served just in time to see Scar walking in. Ever since everything went down with Muggs a friendship between us had been forged.
“What’s up bruh?” I dapped him up.
“You know me laying low, but this here is my brother Jacob,” he introduced me to the boy that was standing shyly behind him. After, he had spent all of the time in jail, Scar had finally got him out with them diaries the Muggs kept. She detailed how the two of them had had a consensual relationship and how she had lied and said he raped her. She was just a nasty low-down crazy hoe.
I dapped the young man up and I could tell that he had been through some things behind that g-wall.
“Flame is over there,” I pointed to wear he was, and it seemed like he got a little bit happier. Flame had looked out for him when they were locked up together never knowing that he had an older brother.
“I’m glad he out man, and you know I can’t thank you enough for how you came through.”
“Ain’t no thing, but I’ma go ahead and feast on these Lumpia and pancit, y’all must’ve knew a nigga was hungry giving me this invite,” he joked, placing his gift on the git table and heading for the food.
“We gone find you a girl so she can cook for you one day bruh.”
He waved me off making his way to Fancy and Kiyan while Jacob kicked it with Flame.
Things weren’t perfect in each of our lives, but I could say that they were happening the way they were supposed to. With Iggy putting his gun down, that made me slow down a bit too, but I knew I was not ready to completely stop dancing. Kiyan claimed he was going into retirement, so that he could focus on becoming a surgeon, but who ever knew with him, he and Fancy were both trained to go so hopefully he kept his promise. And my wild boy Flame, the fire man as the streets called him, well.. Flame was always going to be Flame.
Oh, and for Left eye Sandy, she was now where she thought that my brothers and me would end up. A little birdy had made a call to her boss and she had got knocked for the Cocaine that Pia put in her truck. Her ass was awaiting trial now, but for all of the crooked shit that she had done, she was facing thirty years in prison, eighteen of which were mandatory. All of the cases that she had ever worked on were currently under review thanks to her pal, Spence turning on her to save his ass. He let it be known that Muggs had set up over twelve people by planting drugs o them and things of that nature. That bitch was finally gone, and she had the Baptist brother to thank for that. Clink, clink bitch.
The End.
