“Because I feel like you’re about to tell me that you been knew, and I’m just now finding out. How far along are you?” she asked me. Instead of verbally answering her question, I just reached in my purse, found the ultrasound pictures, and I slid it across the table, so that she could see it.

Her eyes examined the images, and the second that big smile appeared on her face, I’m sure that’s when she saw that there was two babies there. She ended up screaming, and she backed away from the sink, so that she could jump up, and down.

“It’s twins?” Shai asked, quickly getting out of her chair, and she walked over to our mom, took the sonogram slip out of her hand, and she finished chewing on her food, as she looked, and when she saw that it was two babies as well, she started screaming right along with my mom.

My mom was hard body all day, always feeling the need to be tough, but when she saw that she was getting ready to be a grandmother to two babies all over again, her eyes instantly watered up, and she started crying.

That’s when I stood up, so that I could walk over to her, and I hugged her.

As I was hugging her, she kissed me on my cheek multiple times, all the while telling me how happy and proud she was.

When I pulled away from her, Shai came over, so that she could hug me too.

“Twins? Again! Oh my God. What did you do when ya’ll found out?” my mom asked me, once I went back over to Law, so that I could take my place and stand right in the middle of his legs.

“Cried. Two seconds away from getting her ass cursed out,” Law answered for me, getting me, my mom, and sister to laugh.

“You got through it the first time with having a set of twins, so I know that you’ll be fine this time.

Plus, you have so much support. I’m so happy.

I’m going to be a grandma again. I want it to be another set of boys.

You and Shai scarred me. I can’t do no more damn girls,” I expected that answer from her.

We talked about it a little longer, and then my mom went back to the sink, so that she could finish washing the dishes.

“Sevyn, how are you feeling? Soraya told me everything that you found out with Dutch, and I’m so angry for you.

You’ve been in my life since we moved right next door to you, so you already know that I look at you like a son,” my mom revealed, looking up from the dishes, so that she could focus her attention on Sevyn.

I heard him release a deep sigh behind me. His hands, already massaging my lower back where my top left me exposed, pressed harder. That told me that her question had definitely gotten a rise out of him.

“I’m just taking it one day at a time ma. I be trying to forget about it, but then the thought comes back into my mind, and I get angry all over again. Ima be alright though,” he assured her.

“What about your mom? How is she doing?” she wanted to know.

“I’m going to sit down with her this weekend.

A part of me don’t even want to put this heavy shit on her, but I wonder if it will give her a peace of mind and help her become a little saner.

Soraya told you that my mama been in my ear for years now, trying to tell me that I needed to watch out for Dutch?

I can’t believe I had been ignoring that shit for all these years,” he revealed, taking his hands off my back, and he put them on my hips, giving me a squeeze with just a little bit of pressure.

He couldn’t keep his hands off me. This man wouldn’t give a damn that I was in front of my own mama, and my sister because he would still have me sit on him, feel all up on me, and I truly believe that it was something that he couldn’t control.

If someone were to call it out, I don’t think that Law would have any knowledge of him always doing it because it had become something that he was used to.

It wasn’t being done in a sexual way, where the two of us would need to excuse ourselves, or anything like that.

It was just him, always needing some part of my body in his grasp, and I didn’t mind him doing it at all.

“Don’t put that blame on yourself. You didn’t know.

With everything that your mom has going on mentally, I can see why you never thought to dig in deeper to the things that she was saying to you.

I don’t want to give you more shit to stress about, but I know about the fight that took place between you, and Dutch too.

With the charges and stuff that he’s facing, and with him being angry at you because not only are you not going to defend him, but because ya’ll are now on bad terms, are you worried that he’ll have someone on the outside try to come to the facility where you mom is, and possibly cause harm to her?

” my mom asked Law the same question that I’d asked him the same day that he came home to me, and told me the things that happened between him, and Dutch at the jail.

“I thought about it, but just like I told Yaya, it’s not something that I’m worried about.

It’s not something that I’m going to lose sleep over.

To be real with you ma, that nigga not in no position to move like that right now.

He can’t call them kind of shots from the inside like he thinks he can.

Anybody from outside that he would be able to hit up, they right in jail with him because the feds swept up his entire crew.

All motion that he used to have is gone once niggas finds out that he’s responsible for killing a legend.

As far as my mama, I have her in one of the best facilities that money can buy.

That facility has round-the-clock security, cameras all throughout that bitch, with nurses and staff that work there that knows my rules that I have in place.

Any visitor that steps foot into that building that wants to see my mom, they have to get cleared through me, meaning the staff has to hit me, and find out from me if it’s okay for them to be let in her room.

When Dutch was outside, he did have soldiers out here that would move when he told them niggas to move, but the second I learned about him crossing me, all that power went out the window.

Trust me, he knows that, and everyone else going to know it too,” Law was so cool, and collected about his response.

When Law admitted to my mom and me that he wasn’t losing sleep over Dutch trying to send someone after his mom at the facility, I believed him.

I just hoped they would leave her untouched.

Dutch had quickly become someone I couldn’t put anything past. Even behind bars, I had no idea what his next move might be.
