"She better not be hungry after eating my shrimp roll," I scoffed, still not over it.
"I have food. Wolfe and Chosyn are doing cute shit, and I wanna do cute shit too." She pouted. I shook my head. River was such a spoiled brat.
"Navy, come hold Nix since your bitch ass nigga not here."
"Really, Crown?" I spat.
“Hell yeah! I gotta show Wolfe how to properly love on his woman." Crown smirked, winking at River as she sat blushing.
The entire room laughed so hard it felt like the basement shook. I stood, walked over to grab Phoenix, and almost spit all over her from the next laugh that hit me out of nowhere.
"Crown! Why the hell you have them big ass glasses on my daughter?" Chosyn barked, trying to wiggle out of Wolfe's arms.
River started wheezing. I was crying real tears, and Crown adjusted the glasses on Phoenix's tiny face like her wearing them was normal.
"Fuck y'all laughing for?" Crown asked, yanking River up just to steal her seat, then plopped her on his lap with a smug grin. "Wolfe and I were tryna see what my baby gon' look like with glasses."
"Huh?" I frowned, truly confused. "Y'all are not brothers, and Chosyn and River aren't sisters. Y'all kids won't look anything alike," I said, tossing the glasses toward River since they were identical to the ones she wore.
"Fuck outta here, Navy. That's my brother," Wolfe said, pointing at Crown. "And that's her sister." He continued dragging his finger from Chosyn to River. "River's twins and Nix are gonna look like triplets, watch. And when you have a kid, we'll be the only niggas out here with quadruplets."
The way Wolfe's grin grew when he said that made my heart smile. It was amazing to see how in sync these brothers were, even when they weren't speaking to each other.
"You might have to get another baby daddy, though. Shit, Rize might be up for it." Crown laughed, only to grunt when River elbowed him in the stomach.
"Chill, Four. Pregnant or not, I'll still finger that pussy until you cry again," he warned, and her whole face flushed.
"Don't be embarrassed. We all know. What we didn't know was that it was punishment." Chosyn giggled.
"It wasn't until he did it for a second time and refused to give me dick," River smacked.
"Gotta put my foot down with this one. Her ass is too spoiled, and my couch lady said I need boundaries," Crown shrugged.
"Fuck a boundary!" River spat.
"No forreal. Keep playing with my bestie, and we're gonna run down on your couch, lady," Chosyn threatened. "Right, Navy?"
"Uh, yeah, sure," I answered, a little thrown off by the text I'd received from Talon.
Talon
We need to talk. Before you say no, it's about Honor. Choyce has us staying at her place in Briar Ridge. I'll send the address if you want to stop by. If not, call me.
"Are you okay?" River asked.
"Uh, yeah, I just have to make a call really quick. Chosyn, you want Phoenix?"
"Nope. Wolfe will take her because he and Crown aren't supposed to be down here. I know one of y'all snitched on me," she accused with sharp eyes glaring in my direction.
"She told me to." I nodded toward River.
"Snitch!" River shouted after I handed Phoenix off and headed up the stairs of the basement to call my brother.
I wasn't sure what Talon wanted, but it had been a while since the two of us had a conversation.
"Hello?" he answered.
"What about Honor?" I asked, cutting straight to the point.
