Billy huffed and I turned to her, seeing that she was looking at me with an eyebrow raised. “Darling, do you realize that you’re wearing Money’s chain? Living in his house and he trusts you with the most precious thing he has in this world? You mightnot make it out the year with that same last name.” She touched the chain around my neck with a grin on her face and I dipped my head bashfully.
“We are…”
“About to have an infant and a toddler running around. I know that look, honey. Do not let that man play with you. They’re in prime physical condition, that damn testosterone is at its peak and their virility is unmatched. Not even gonna touch on the stamina.” She shivered then blinked twice before she looked dazed. “Where the hell was I going with this?”
“Girl, I don’t know but I feel you might need to take your own advice.”
Billy pointed as my words triggered her memory. “Oh yeah, that’s where I was going. Don’t trust these fools to pull out. Especially not Money. His entire life is geared around breaking through barriers…” She paused again and then shook her head. “Girl, I hope you're on the pill unless you’re ready to birth your own tribe.” She pointed down at the daughter she was carrying before glancing back over her shoulder.
“We are more than good I promise.” Ami started to wiggle and I knew I needed to get her bottle soon.
“Listen, do what makes you happy. I've got four kids so I’m never one to tell someone not to have little ones.
“She’s absolutely more than enough for right now and we’re still new and figuring things out.”
She looked at me sympathetically probably because she knew the road we were on but looked genuine in her desire for her to make it through. “I get that. I think all of us had stuff we had to figure out and it was different and unique to every situation. But I think we’ll all tell you it was worth it.”
“Thank you. I don’t know why but I feel like I needed to hear that.” I blinked back tears because her words touched me deeply.She looked stunning in her simple royal blue dress but the large 90 brooch that was made of diamonds really set it off.
“Any time. I told you the day we met that just because Money is my client doesn’t mean I’m going to be walking around taking his side on shit. We all stick together no matter what and now you’re one of us. And that goes for whether you and Money work out. You can’t shake us.”
“I appreciate that.”
“Good. Now let me get away from you for a minute. Being around her gives me baby fever and I gotta go curse out my uterus real fast.” I laughed as she leaned over and gave me a kiss on the cheek.
“You are crazy.”
“Nah I got the living proof that if my body gets too busy wanting a baby it’s going to speak to his and they gone make something happen. Since he’s down with whatever, I've gotta be the adult in the situation.” Billy rolled her eyes but I could tell that lady wouldn’t have minded having another baby.
“As long as I can be in charge of the baby shower outfit.”
“Girl, I would tell you to go to hell but I like you too much. But that ain’t happening this way. It’s my time to be the fun auntie.” She grinned proudly and looked at Yzzy as Sampson brought her a mimosa before kissing her on the lips. “Samp is plotting and I doubt he’s ever failed at anything in his life.”
“Not you setting your sister up.”
“Please, she’s already said she’s more than ready. I think she enjoys fucking with him though…” Her voice trailed off and her brows dipped down. “How the fuck she get in here?”
My head turned to what she was looking at and I noticed a woman with Antwan’s jersey on talking to Aphrodite and Rye. Well, talking wasn’t the right word. It looked as though Rye was reading her to hell and back.
“I can get her kicked out—”
“And spoil my fun? No, thank you. You’ve done enough work and I know that whine Ami’s doing. It’s why she’s got my boobs tingling like they’re ready to lactate again. She’s ready to eat.”
I knew boobs were magical but I didn’t know they were trying to feed America. “She is—”
“Good. Do you mind walking her to Mac? I need to handle this.” She motioned down to her little girl and I stooped down to pick her up.
“I got her. If you need me please let me know. I’ll have a word with security too.”
“You won’t but I’ll let you know. Be good for Ms. Sterling and Granddaddy Mac, Josie.” Josie nodded to her mama who grinned at her. When she looked back toward the suite entrance I could see her face switch to all business.
I didn’t bother to wait to see what the issue was. Mac was more than happy to have his granddaughter and he even asked me if I wanted to leave Ami with him. This man was in grandkid heaven and looked like he wanted to start a granddaddy daycare because all the kids in the suite were with him and Billy’s mama.
I sat down and got Ami’s bottle fixed in record time while I was monitoring the situation with my friends.
Rye looked ready to fuck up whoever this was and when Billy walked over I knew something serious was going on. I stood up to intervene since I was the suite owner, but I was going to troubleshoot whatever was going on. Before I could get up Aphrodite waved me back down and Ami pulled at my hair as a reminder that I had something more important to worry about than some strange lady. Since I couldn’t physically be in the middle of anything I beckoned over the nearest suite attendant for assistance.
“I need some help.”
