Dariah-Imani

Vaughn has been blowing my phone up and I was getting tired of it but I just continued to ignore him because I already had too much going on. A fake marriage and a baby on the way, I just turned 18 with no job.

"You good?" Dave and I were sitting in the living room watching TV, I still hadn't told him that the baby was his.

"Yeah" I nodded.

"So listen" He started and I turned to him, giving him my full attention. "Vanessa and I have been talking about what would be best for our baby.."

I rolled my eyes at the mention of Vanessa, I can't believe we are baby momma sisters.

"And she suggested that she moves in, I wanted to run it by you first since you do live here too"

My jaw dropped. He can't possibly be serious.. there's no way in hell Im living with her.

"I..um.."

"You don't have to answer now but she wants to know as soon as possible" He said before getting up and walking away, leaving me in deep thought. My first instinct was to call Alicia and tell her so that's what I did.

"Hello?" Alicia answered groggily.

"Hey I miss you" I smiled into the phone like she could see me. "So much has happened since you left"

"Mhm and that's why you haven't called?" I could tell she was frowning.

"I know I know, basically...."

"Basically what?"

"I'm having a child"

There was a silence before she busted out laughing. "Yo stop playin', that ain't funny"

"Alicia i'm deadass"

"No bullshit, ya blowing the fuck outta me right now. I'm not even gonna ask any questions. Congrats"

"I'm sorry"

"I gotta go" She quickly responded before hanging up. I let out a loud sigh, this is not how my life is supposed to go. I didn't want her to be angry, I need her right now.

"So did you come to a decision?" Dave came back and stood near the couch. But before I could answer, the door bell rang.

"Hey baby" I saw Vanessa walk in and kiss him then she turned and looked at me. "Oh.. store girl is still here"

I realized she had luggage's and bags behind her. I looked up at Dave. "I did ask.." He said scratching the back of his head.

.....

The next couple hours of Vanessa's loud ass moving in and getting settled had me ready to set the house on fire with her in, but of course I kept my cool and zoned her out.

"Hello? are you paying attention?" Raina came over to keep me company, right now we were just chilling in the kitchen.

"Huh? yeah yeah I am" I nodded, acting like I heard her.

"Alright girl what's going on?"

"I'm having a child and the father doesn't even know"

Her eyes almost popped out her socket. "What?? who's the father?"

"Reply hazy.. try again" I joked.

"Bitch are you a magic 8 ball, spill"

"David" I mumbled

"DAVID IS THE FATHER?? bitch you gotta tell him" She yelled a little too loud for my liking.

"Quiet down before he hears" I told her.

"What's the problem?"

"He doesn't know, Raina. Nobody but Chris knows"

"Oh shit girl, you've got to tell him" She looked at me with disapproving eyes.

"I know that" I rolled my eyes.

I knew that I had to tell him but I just couldn't build up the courage to do so. I mean he already has to deal with Vanessa being pregnant and our fake marriage.

"I will" I told her, she looked at me like she didn't believe me.

"When?"

"Tonight" I lied.

"You better" She said. "Have you told Alicia or Mama about the baby?"

"I just told Alicia but she was mad" I shook my head. "Ima give her some time then call her back but I haven't told Karlyn yet, i'm just tryna take all this in myself first" I explained to her.

"Yeah I get what you mean"

"But how have you been?" I said changing the topic.

"Honestly? I've been great. I met my college roommate online but we're gonna see eachother face to face when I go over there to check the place out in two weeks" She grinned.

I was so proud of her for making the best of her life and pursing something she loves. "That's amazing love, I couldn't be more proud. We haven't known eachother for a long time but I'm gonna miss you when it's time for you to go"

"You better make the next of the next month we have together" She laughed.

"I know I know" I felt myself getting emotional.

"Uh oh the pregnancy hormones are kicking in already, someone get her some tissues" She joked.

"Shut up" I mushed her head. "My life is gonna be so boring the next few months with you going to college, Chris and possibly Dave going on tour"

"There's RoRo ..and Vanessa"

"You think you're funny?" I rolled my eyes at the mention of Vanessa.

"You don't have room to hate her anymore now that you're babymomma sisters"

"I don't hate her" I sighed. "She's just in the way of me and Dave, also she's annoying"

"But that's her man"

"MY man, correction. Or my soon to be man" I smiled at her.

"You're clearly delusional" She laughed.

"If that's what you wanna think but this baby better bring us together"

"Bro you need help" Now she was doubled over in tears like I just spit the most funniest joke in the world, I didn't find shit funny though. I was being deadass, me and him better be together by the end of my pregnancy.

"Whatever, you ready?" I asked her, walking out the kitchen.

Alicia Alvoro

Honestly I'm tired of Dariah's constant secrets and surprises. It's deadass frustrating. She would never do that shit when she was here, I mean I know it's hard since the time zone is different but shit could you at least keep me up to date.

"Yo Licia, where the fuck you at?"

I told Dariah that I was gonna leave Nico but I'm too deep in love with him.

"Where else would I be?" I yelled out, rolling my eyes. I felt my head being mushed forward. "What the fuck?" I screamed at him.

"Don't get smart with me" He plopped down on the couch.

"Don't put yo fuckin' hands on me, Nico" I stood in front of him.

"Move b, you blockin' the TV"

"I ain't moving til you say you're gonna stop"

"Alicia deadass, stop playin with me" He started to roll up a blunt.

I sighed and sat far from him on the couch, focusing on my phone. I could feel him staring at me but I brushed it off.

"Baby" He said. I ignored him of course then I felt my body being picked up and on his lap. "I'm sorry"

I just continued to look at my phone until he snatched my phone out my hand and forced me to look at him. "You hear me talkin' to you right?"

"Nico leave me alone okay? you wanted me to move and I moved so why you bothering me"

"So you don't love me no more? you wanna leave me alone?"

I rolled my eyes at his overdramatic self. "Did I say that?"

"You actin' like it" He shrugged.

"But did I say that?"

"You always have a damn attitude then act confused when I hit you" He sucked his teeth, pushing me off his lap.

"Maybe cause you're not supposed hit me dumbass" I mumbled quietly.

"What you say?"

"Huh?" I responded knowing it got on his nerves.

My phone kept going off but I ignored it cause I knew it was Dariah tryna talk. I was mad that she never came to me about her problems anymore, ever since she left she's been mad distant and I don't like that shit. Nico kept complaining about my phone ringing so I just shut it off completely, deciding to talk to her later when I'm less irritated.
