Darnell rushed to clock out and leave work today. She was heading to the airport to pick up her cousin O'Shea. She hadn't seen him since their grandmothers funeral three years ago, but they stayed in touch by text or phone calls.

Earlier this week O'Shea called her and told her that he would be in town for a couple of days. O'Shea was a famous barber and one of his clients flew him out to for the weekend.

When he found out he would be in Atlanta, he called Darnell up and made plans to hang out with her. With her being so excited to have her cousin in town, Darnell offered for him to stay with her. O'Shea being O'Shea he couldn't say no to his baby cousin.

Forty-five minutes later Darnell was pulling into the airport pick up lane. She got a text from O'Shea telling her he would be waiting outside when she pulled around. Darnell instantly recognized O'Shea through the crowd of people.

The only difference she could spot from her big cousin was his sun kissed skin was covered with more tattoos and he had let his beard grow out resembling a lumber jack.

( O'Shea 👆🏼😻 )

Darnell popped the trunk of her car and got out. She ran around the car and jumped in O'Shea's arms.

"Cousin I missed you. I haven't seen you in sooo long!"

O'Shea caught Darnell and held her tight for a hug. He also missed his cousin even though she was being extra right now.

O'Shea let Darnell down on the ground to her feet. "I missed you too Nae Nae."

"Uhh I hate when you call me that?"

"Why? I been calling you that since we was little."

"And I hated it then too."

"Yeah whatever." O'Shea mushed Darnell's head as he loaded his luggage into the trunk. Darnell gave the keys to O'Shea letting him drive.

They both got in the car and O'Shea pulled off into Atlanta traffic. Before they went to Darnell's house they decided to stop and get something to eat. Pulling into the parking lot of Buffalo Wild Wings, they got about and headed inside.

"Table for two."

O'Shea nodded his head and the the hostess led them to a booth next to the bar.

"Your waitress will be right with you."

"Okay thank you."

"So Darnell.... anything new happening with you lately?" O'Shea continued to look at his menu as he waited for Darnell response.

Before she could say anything, their waitress came up to the table.

"Welcome to Bdubs. My name is Jalicia what can I start y'all off with?

"Let me get two shot of tequila."

O'Shea and Darnell gave the waitress the rest of their orders. Once the waitress left they continued to talk.

"Two shots you trying to get lit huh?"

"Naw not that lit, ones for you."

Darnell bit her lip. She hadn't told O'Shea about her being pregnant. She guessed this was the perfect time to spill her guts.

"Actually I can't have any liquor right now."

"Don't tell me you can't have a drink with your favorite cousin."

"Um actually I can't. I'm pregnant O'Shea." Darnell tapped her nails against the table waiting on O'Shea response. Times like these made her hate how much of a procrastinator she was.

"Why you just now telling me Nae nae."

Darnell sighed. "Idk O'Shea it's something that I struggled with for a while. But I'm okay with it now. Naree has really helped me get through this. I can say now that I'm excited to be having a child."

"Wow just wow. If your excited than I am too nae."

O'Shea have her a reassuring smile. He didn't want her to feel like he was judging her. He didn't like that she kept it from him, but he was glad that she finally was able to get it off her chest.

Darnell was happy that O'Shea wasn't hard on her. He was the closes family member she had and she didn't know what she would have done if he was mad at her.

"So when am I gonna meet your babies father?"

"Um I don't know. We're not together. We're just........I don't even know right now O'Shea." Darnell sighed thinking about Don.

She didn't know what they were doing. She knew for a fact they weren't together, were they friends, or just parents. At this point she really didn't know.

The waitress came back to the table bringing back their food placing it onto the table. As soon as the waitress left the table Darnell said grace then dug in, not even waiting on O'Shea.

O'Shea sat back and watched as Darnell ate. She was always an eater, but today she was going in like it was her last meal.

"Dang slow down nae. The food ain't going nowhere."O'Shea said smirking.

Darnell looked up from her wing."ha ha he nigga."

They continued to eat and catch up on things that happened in their lives since the last time they talked. Once they were done O'Shea paid and gathered their left over food before heading back to the car.

After a short car ride O'Shea was pulling into Darnell's driveway. He shook her awake letting her know they were home.

Darnell showed O'Shea to his room. She went up to her room letting him settle in and to get herself together for the night. When she reached her room she headed for the shower, stripped, and washed up.

Stepping out she dried off and got dressed putting on a random pajama set and knee high socks. She laid down in her bed and scrolled through her phone.

Suddenly her phone started ringing. Naree's name popped up. Darnell slid the phone answering the call.

"Hey babe."

"Hey mamas. What's going on?"

"Nothing much. I'm just sitting in the bed relaxing."

"Good and how's my baby doing?"

"He or she is good. They didn't give me any problems today. I meant to ask you I have a appointment coming up and I want you to come with me."

"Yes Darnell of coarse. Uhh I'm so excited."

Darnell's face held a wide smile. She loved Naree's excitement.

"Ohh yeah before I forget the reason I was calling you was to ask you were you going to Don's birthday party tomorrow?"

Tomorrow Don would be turning 30 and he was holding a get together at his house. It wasn't nothing extravagant, just some of his close friends, food, drinks, and fun.

"I don't know Naree. I was planning on hanging out with O'Shea."

Don had told Darnell about the party earlier on in the week, but she still hadn't made up her mind if she wanted to attend for not. She figured that Don would probably have one of his little hoes on his arm.

To be honest Darnell didn't know how she would be able to take it if she saw another woman hugged up on Don. The feelings she had hadn't went away completely as of yet. Blame it on the hormones.

"O'Shea? His fine ass at your house? At this very moment?"

"Yep. And don't even think about bringing your ass over here either."

Ever since Darnell introduced Naree to O'Shea she immediately had a crush on him. To Darnell it was probably just lust in between the two. She made O'Shea promise her that he wouldn't mess with Naree because she knew that he was a dog and that he would probably duck her after they slept together.

"Whatever back to Don's party. Your coming right? You can bring O'Shea I'm sure he'll won't mind."

"You would like that wouldn't you? But we'll see I would have to see what O'Shea has going on."

As soon as Darnell finished her sentence, there was knock on her door. O'Shea stuck his head in and Darnell nodded at him allowing him to come in.

She finished up her conversation with Naree, saying her goodbyes and I love you's. Afterward she gave O'Shea her full attention.

"Naree said hi." She said smirking at O'Shea as he laid in her bed.

O'Shea smirked. "How she doing?"

"Still crazy as ever. But that's my best friend."

They both laughed.

"So what you got planned tomorrow?" Darnell turned over grabbing her remote to turn on her tv.

"I got my client at 12:00 but after that I'm free."

"Okay well you asked about meeting Don and he's having a party at his house for his birthday and I wanted to know if you wanted to tag along as my plus one."

"Yeah that's cool."

"Alright. Well I'm going to let you get some rest I know that airplane ride had you worn out."

"Yeah you right." He stretched his body letting out a yawn. "Goodnight nae and little nae." O'Shea reached out to touch Darnell's stomach. She immediately slapped his hand away.

"Get on now."

O'Shea retreated back to his room as the house fell quiet. Darnell laid in her bed watching a random cartoon before falling asleep.

-

"Happy Birthday nigga." Yameer shouted as he walked into Don's house carrying 4 cases of Corona.

Don sucked his teeth at his loud ass friend. Even though Yameer could be annoying at times, Don knew nobody could make his birthday as lit as he could.

Yameer took the beers to the kitchen placing them in a cooler before dapping Don up.

"Fucking Dirty Thirty my dude. Who would of known we would have lasted this long. Especially from the shit we used to do?"

"You right man. All I can say is we blessed."

"Damn right."

"So what you got planned. I know the party start at 6:00."

"Yeah you know black people don't show they ass on time so when they come they come. I got the chef that's gonna be here in a minute to start on the food. The DJ should be here in like a hour to set up and I already got all the liquor and everything in the kitchen. So we straight."

"Cool so I just gotta ask is Darnell coming through?" Yameer smirked.

"Yo why you worried about my baby mother?"

"I'm just asking cause if you not worried about her I know some other niggas who are. I'm just saying if you don't want your baby mother being with somebody else you better speak up."

"Man ain't nobody thinking bout Darnell. We just dealing with each other for the baby. She made it clear that she don't want nothing to do with me if it don't have nothing to do with the baby or Kaydence."

"And who's fault is that. You let your mouth ruin shit for you bro. But hey I'm just your best friend who wants the best for you."

"And you think Darnell is whats best for me?"

"Yep but I'll leave it alone birthday boy I just came to drop off some drinks. Think about what I said Don cause you know you'll be ass out if she was entertaining some other dude. "

"Alright nigga I hear you. I'll see you later though."

After Don and Yameer dapped, Don headed up stairs to get himself together. Kaydence was at Ashley's having a play date with one of her classmates.

Don went upstairs finding a fit for the night. He went into his closet knowing exactly what he wanted to wear. Once he had his clothes laid out on his bed, he jumped into his shower.

He scrubbed and washed all the hair that was on him from his haircut he got earlier. He rinsed and jumped out applying his deodorant and lotion. Don washed his face and brushed his teeth after slipping on a clean pair of boxers and socks.

When he was done with his hygiene routine, Don pulled on a purple, black, and blue button down leaving it open to show off his many tattoos. A pair of black ripped jeans adorned his long legs and he finished off the outfit with a pair of black and blue air Jordan 1s.

Don slid on his diamond incrusted Rolex and all the other jewelry he wanted to shine with tonight.

Satisfied with how he looked, he headed back down stairs where some of his guest where already arriving. His security had patted everyone down and showed them to where they could put the presents some of them brought for Don.

While he was getting ready the caterers showed up and was already starting on the food and placed some out for the guest to snack on. Don greeted his guest and told everybody to have a good time. The party was just starting and it was going to be a long night.

-

The party was on full swing. The back yard was filled with people. More people arrived than Don thought. He wasn't mad though, everybody who came through showed love and if anybody wanted to act a fool, then they would be handled.

The music was blasting and could be heard from down the block. Don sat back watching people dance to the music the DJ was playing. Don couldn't even lie, the DJ was going in playing old club hits to new radio songs, even songs that weren't even out yet.

Many woman came to offer Don a dance, but he wasn't in to what they really was saying. What Yameer had said to him earlier was still on his mind. He didn't know what to think at the moment. He just wanted to focus on having fun in this moment. Hell you only turn 30 once.

From the corner of his eye Don could see more people come through his gate that led to his backyard. He instantly recognized the body of one of the guest.

He watched as Darnell walked in with Naree and some dude he had never seen before. He first thought it was a friend of Naree's and brushed it off. That was until the guy placed his arm over Darnell's shoulder and whispered into her ear. 'What the fuck?'

Before Don could say anything Darnell had spotted him and started her way over to him.

"Happy Birthday Don." Darnell leaned in and gave Don a hug. Don didn't return the hug keeping his hands to his side. To say he was irritated was an understatement.

Darnell looked up at him confused. About to say something else O'Shea came up behind her.
Darnell turned around as O'Shea handed her a bottle water.

"Ohh um Don this is O'Shea, O'Shea this is my baby's father Don."

"Nice to meet you bruh. Happy Gday." O'Shea went in to dap Don up, but Don didn't move an inch. He just continued to eye Darnell.

"Yeah thanks. Aye Darnell let me talk to you for a minute." Don grabbed onto Darnell's arm lightly pulling her into the house.

Darnell tried to keep up with Don but he was moving too fast. As they made it up most of the steps she had to catch herself almost tripping on the last two steps.

"Don stop fucking pulling on me before I fucking fall. What the hell is wrong with you." Darnell yelled in his face once they made it into his bedroom.

Don closed and locked his door behind him as Darnell sat on his bed. He was now able to see the outfit she had on making him more irritated. To Darnell she looked cute in her white maxi dress and nude gladiator sandals.

Even though it was a little clingy due to her now protruding 5 month pregnant belly, she was still decent. To Don the only thing he could see was her boobs, hips, and butt that had gotten bigger throughout her pregnancy.

"Darnell don't fucking play with me. Do you think it's cool for you to bring another nigga up in my shit. Then have the nerve to introduce that nigga like ain't shit happening." He yelled allowing his emotions to take over.

Darnell looked at him like he just grew three heads.

"Don who the fuck are you talking to? If you would have allowed me to finish what the fuck I was going to say I would have told you that O'Shea is my fucking cousin dumbass."

Don couldn't even say anything. He jumped to conclusions not even letting Darnell explain the situation before he jumped down her throat."

"Look Darnell I'm-"

Darnell held up her hand stopping Don from continuing on. "You can stop right there cause to be honest Don I don't want to hear it. You in here talking to me like I'm your woman but, all I am to you is your baby mama." She said making air quotes at the words baby mama.

"You need to make up your mind on what you want this to be because I'm not gonna wait around on you to get your shit together."

Don just stood there watching Darnell speak. When she was done there was only one thing popped into his head. He walked up to her pulling her face to his and kissed her deeply.

Darnell instantly fell into the kiss allowing Don access into her mouth when she moaned from his hands gripping her ass.

Pulling away for air Darnell looked Don into his piercing eyes looking for some kind of love, sincerity, or even forgiveness and she found all three. The kiss left her flustered but wanting more.

Don went in again tonguing Darnell down while leading her to his bed. He pulled her dress over her head while she pulled his shirt off.

Don left her shoes on as he laid her back onto the bed pulling her panties down and off. Don kissed from her neck, to her chest showing each of her breast attention. He kissed all around her pregnant stomach, leaving butterfly kisses and her in a daze.

As soon as he made it to her thighs he started kissing around them ready to devour her gold mine. Before he could go in Darnell pulled him away.

Panting heavily she looked into Don's eyes. "Fuck four play. I want it now Don."

"Say no more." Don pulled his pants and boxers down allowing them to pool to the floor.

He was already rock hard and was ready for the release he knew he always found when he was with Darnell.

Don pulled Darnell to the edge of the bed bringing her closer to him. He placed his dick at her entrance. He moved in slowly as Darnell pushed him away. Stopping with only his head in Don looked at Darnell.

"Go slow. It's been a while. You gotta be gentle with the baby."

Don continued taking heed to what Darnell said. Before he could take his first stroke there was a knock at the door. They both sighed as Don answered.

"What!"

"Aye bro they want you to come down here so they can sing Happy birthday to you." Yameer yelled.

"Aight I'm coming."

Don waited a minute before getting up. He wanted to take in the feeling of being inside of Darnell for a couple of more seconds.

"Get up Don."

Darnell pushed Don up allowing her to get up as well. She walked into his bathroom cleaning herself up before slipping back into her clothes and fixing her hair.

She watched as Don got dressed as well taking in his muscular arms that were designed by his many tattoos. 'Damn'

When they were done they headed back down stairs going their separate ways. Don stood in front of the crowd as everyone sung happy birthday to him before the DJ stared playing In the Club by 50 Cent.

Darnell met back up with Naree and O'Shea.

"Where the hell you been?" Naree asked as O'Shea spit game to some random broad.

"I was with Don." Darnell tried to keep the most straight face she could muster up trying to not show any emotion.

"And what where y'all doing?"

Darnell bit her lip. "Nothing. We just talked about
