Their reaction let me know they approved of me. Instead of being a mother of one, I believed my mother status had upgraded to a mother of four.
Later that night, we got situated in one of Mrs. Gills’ guest bedrooms. Diego and Kégo decided to stay as well, occupying the other two bedrooms. Their love for one another was displayed all throughout the evening.
After dinner and the introduction to his dogs, we joined everyone in the house again and enjoyed a family game night.
It was such a stress-free day. I was able to hear the heartbeat of my son, which made me being pregnant that much more real.
My thoughts drifted to my wife a time or two throughout the day. I wasn’t goin’ to lie and say I didn’t still love her, because I did. However, the things she did to me wouldn’t allow me to wallow in the feeling.
It was hurtful to know I gave someone all of me even though I had nothin’ left for myself and had treated me as if I were a fresh pile of shit. I wasn’t one to wish bad on anyone, but she didn’t deserve to be loved.
Divorce was thrown on the table and never revisited. I felt like it was time to put it in motion. Before my son got there, all ties to Alexis would be severed.
“Mama, what’s on your mind?”
“Huh?”
“I asked you what you wanted to watch, but you didn’t answer me, so I asked what was on your mind.”
I was in my head and didn’t hear him talkin’ to me at all. I rolled over and got comfortable on the right side of his body. He was patient with me and rarely got out of character. I wanted my son to take after him.
“Alexis crossed my mind. I need a lawyer to draw up divorce papers. I refuse to be married to her when my child gets here.”
“I’ll look into it.” I nodded from his response. “And from here on out, I don’t want to hear her name come out your mouth again. You’re mine, and if she thinks I’m gon’ let you go as easy as she did, she got another thang coming.”
I looked up into his face and saw a stoned expression. He meant everything he said. Thing was… it’d been him since our introduction at Scorpio’s.
Christian put a movie on off Netflix, and I was only able to get in the openin’ credits before I dozed off. My son was kickin’ my ass.

“Turn around for me. I want to see how thatculosittin’.” I was on FaceTime with the nurse bitch I met a few weeks ago from the fire incident. I had no pussy in the States, so she was the lucky one to wet my dick while I was there.
She turned around and eased her shorts over her ass. Her body was on full display, and I was lovin’ it. Last night, I blew her off to be with family, but in about an hour or two, I was sliding to run up in that a few times.
“Let me know when you done so I can fix my woman and son some food. I don’t want none of what you cookin’. Ain’t no tellin’ what’s in it.”
I let out a chuckle and told Jazelle to give me a minute and I’d slide through. She started to pout and whine, but I wasn’t her nigga, so I hung up. I had one woman, and she was back in Mexico.
“Shut yo’ nasty ass up. That’s why we offered you the room on the other end so we wouldn’t have to hear that shit. Nigga, it was six o’clock in the fuckin’ mornin’. You couldn’t wait?” I asked.
“That’s my son in her womb, which means I got full access to her whenever I want. And she wasn’t that loud.”
“Yeah, a’ight. You want to wait for Papa or what?” I was about to tell him the information Alexis gave us regardin’ him.
“Nah. I’m sure he’ll leave out details,” he said, shaking his head.
“Bet. That girl isloco,bro. She wants us to kidnap you and take you to her warehouse to be chopped up and grinded like burger meat. Thatputawants you dead, dead. As far as Journei goes… she wants us to make her have a miscarriage.”
Hades stopped movin’ around the kitchen, and I could feel the shift of energy in the room. What Alexis didn’t know was Hades was the wrong muthafucka to threaten or even fuck with period.
Learning that he was a pastor was shockin’ to me because my brotha had more bodies under his belt than a fuckin’ cemetery. I got why he changed but him goin’ that route was a lil’ extreme to me.
“When?” was all he asked.
“Sometime next week. She said somethin’ ’bout gettin’ sis away from you before we ran up in ya shit to get you.”
All he gave me was a simple nod. Nothin’ else was said, and that let me know he was ’bout to do Alexis dirty. She might have her own opinions of him, but I promise what she thought was far from the truth. Hades had evil in his body, and that lil’ girl was goin’ to see how he earned his name.
