Cube

"Humpty Dumpty had a great fall." I read to Liyah, she loves that story.
"Go outside?" She said pointing to the door.
"It's night time baby girl." I said to her. She turned around in her bed and pulled the covers over her head.
"I love you baby girl." I said and kissed her forehead. I got up, turned the lights off and closed the door. I looked down the stair case and saw Dana dancing around to 'tell me that you still care' by SOS band. She only had on a Lench Mob T-shirt on. I stood there a watched her. I looked over at our Christmas tree.

I never knew this would be me. I got everything I want. I can buy whatever I want but the money would mean nothing if I didn't have my family. Dana looked up at me while still dancing and commanded me to come down and dance with her by using her finger.

E

We were putting our tree up tonight because Erica had been work and so have I. Yella decided he didn't wanna go clubbing tonight so came over here for the night and crashed.
"Hand me that ball right there?" I said to Cam who was standing by the box of Christmas balls. She handed one to me.
"Daddy, how you gonna get to the top of the tree?" Cam asked and I heard Erica and Yella buster out laughing.
"I got a ladder baby girl!" I said a little embarrassed. Erica was still laughing uncontrollably.
"That shit funny to you?" I semi yelled
"Nah babes you good!" She said trying to keep from laughing.
"Haha!" I said faking laughing and then turned back to my tree. lil E was running and spilled some water on the ground so I had to get down and go clean it up.
"I'll get it baby." Erica said starting back down the stair from where she and Yella was putting decorations on the staircase.
"Nah I got it baby!" I said you her already beating her to the ground. All of a sudden Yella came running down the stairs and held me back.
"What are you doing?" I asked Yella a little confused.
"You gotta watch where you stepping cause you can drown yourself in that water."  He said and Erica was trying hard not to laugh but it still came out and Cam was trying to hold a smile but it still showed.
"Man, y'all gonna get off of me with these short jokes!" I said and went to grab a towel. About a hour later we finished the decorations and the tree.

I stood back and looked at it with amazement.
"It's beautiful!" Erica said
"Well you know they say I got magical hands." I said laughing.

Erin

I was in the room studying for this college work. I put the pencil down and leaned back in my bed.i looked over and saw Ro laying down sleep. She decided to sleep in my bed last night because she says she didn't wanna sleep alone. I got up and got dressed to go to the hospital. I got Ro up to and we headed out. We stopped by a burger joint before making it to the hospital. Me and Ro got 2 large burgers and sat down.
"You like it?" I asked Ro.
"Yes ma'am." She said with a mouth full of food. I leaned over and wipped her mouth.
"Ain't nothing changed I see." I heard a familiar voice. I sat down and turned around quick.
"Pac!!" I semi yelled and jumped up and hugged him.

Ren

I was running through some rhymes. I then heard a knock on the door.
"You decent?" I heard E said and then I seen Cam and lil E come running around the corner. Cam sat beside me and laid her head on top of my head and lil E was trying to get on the end of the bed. E walked in and stood by the bed.
"I'm sorry I didn't get to make it yesterday or the day before that." He apologized.
"It's coo, we all got a lot of stuff to do man but hey your here that's all that matters!" I said and I hooked hands with him and bring it in.
"Nigga what's got you laid up in here?" E asked
"I was on my way to take Erin out an(GCO)" I said until E laughed
"So you Erin talkin now?" He said with a smirk on his face.
"Yea! Sum like that!" I said
"You better treat her right cause I don't wanna have to shoot and kill yo ass!" E said laughing
"Nigga shut up! Anyways back to what I was saying, I was getting out the car when theses nigga rolled up on me and started shooting!" I explained.
"Damn! But aye Ima get them nigga for you Ren!" E said
"Nah it's go(GCO)"
"Don't say shot else Ren!" E said cutting me and I threw my hands up. I honestly knew E would do it cause he has done it before.

Erica

I was doing an open house today for this phat place in the Hills.

There were some people looking around and some people had left that had looked around already. I didn't know if this house would sauce like all my other houses cause the saler wanted 45,000,000.00 for it and to me it wasn't worth that much. I mean the outside is nice but the inside need some work.
"Have a great day Mrs. Porter!" I said as she reached to give me a hug.
"This ones not for me honey, I would have to put hundreds of millions of dollars into it honey! Call me when get another okay babes!" She said
"Yes ma'am I will!" I said to her waving her off as she walked off. Unfortunately she was the last one of the day so I started to gather my things.
"I'll buy it!" I heard a voice but I couldn't pen point it because the house was so big and it cause a echo. I laid my things down and turned around and saw Dre standing in the door way.
"You got 2 houses already." I said with my head down
"Who said I can't have 3? I told you Ima be a billionaire one day." He said and I could hear his feet getting closer to me.
"Besides you aren't even here for the house." I said outing my things together.
"What would make you think that?" He asked
"You aren't dressed to the Occasion." I said looking up at him with a black hoodie on.

"Alright you got me right there but don't you think your a little over dressed." He said now standing by me.

"No I'm not, it's called being professional!" I said
"Mmm!" He said and went over and flopped over in the couch. I walked through the rooms and looked through them to make sure nothing was missing and to make sure they were clean for tomorrow night. I turned the lights off as I went. This house was gigantic so it seemed like forever walking around it. I sat on the bed for a minute. I was so tired that I just laid down. This bed was comfortable.
"Can I ask you a question?" Dre said
"Yea." I said still laying down.
"Did you ever love me?" He ask and I breath out.
"Yes, at one point." I said for a moment there was silence in the room until I felt the bed move. I sat up and saw Dre sitting on the bed.
"Question." I said with my arms supporting my body. Dre answered me by a nod.
"Why'd you ask me that?" I said
"I needed to know." He said
"You know, some times at night I still think about our baby." I said and a tear fell.
"Me too." He said and moved closer to me.
"I sometimes wonder if it would be a girl or a boy." I said wipping my tears away.
"I think it would've been a girl."  He said
"And how you figure that?" I said looking over at him.
"I just know." He said and smiled at me.

Erin

"You want anything to eat?" I asked Ren as he tried to set up in the hospital bed.
"Yeah, they got jello?" He asked.
"I don't know but I'll go ask." I said and walked to see the nurse at the desk.
"Do y'all have any jello?" I asked the lady.
"Yes ma'am we do." She said and paved the food stand on the first floor.
"What room?" She asked
"302." I said and turned to look around until I caught a glimpse of my momma. I looked back down not believing this to be real. I looked back up and saw her again. She was sitting on this chair with a hoodie. I looked around and made sure no one was watching me. I walked up to her and bent down.
"Momma!" I whispered.
"You got me mistaken." She said back
"I know it's you momma." I said
"You don't know me, nobody does." She said
"What are you doin here? You know their looking for you, right?" I said
"I know that!" She said
"Well what are you doing out and about like this?" I asked
"I need air." She said and then scratched her neck. I grabbed her arm and pulled her sleeve up.
"What the fuck is this?" I said pointing to the needle wholes in her arms.
"Let's go Michelle!" I heard someone say
"I gotta go!" She said jumping up. I looked at the lady who called her and she looked just like Cams momma and E baby momma, Kiesha.
