(Dyme's Pov)

"Awe, you were actually innocent back then, huh?" He teased, looking at an old photo with me that I got from my mother's house.

"Whatever..." I rolled my eyes, showing him the next one.

"That's when I was like 9...or 10 maybe" I told him. ...who knew in two or three years that little girl would end up pregnant😞

"And that's apparently where it all started. You look like you're saying "Bitch, I could slap you right now".... already" He laughed, making jokes.

I laughed with him. "I wanna slap you right now. But let's see you now, you have any kid photos?"

"Uhh *pulls out his phone*....I might have one on my Instagram" he said, going through his phone for a minute.
"This is the only one I have" he looked up, showing me his kid picture.

"That lil boy grew up didn't he..." I turned to him after looking down. ...he was such a little boy compared to now😍👦

"He had to..." He shrugged.

"You sure you don't have anymore, you probably lying" I gave him a suspicious look.

"What I gotta lie for?" He laughed, telling me that he's in denial.

"It's probably something you don't want me to see, but I showed you mine" I pouted.

He sighed. "Fine, but if you bully me...we not friends no more"

"Nigga please" I rolled my eyes again.

"Aight look, I was a little chubby okay and then...I had braces too.." He sighed even more from showing the picture.

"Still had them nigga naps too" I bust on em, just teasing. ....I think if we would've met when he looked like this.....I would've totally bullied him😂😂👊 And still took his virginity in high school😏😈

"They're curls, baby girl. But look who got naps now" He pinched the back of my hair on my neck.

"Stop playing with me" I pushed him softly, not trying to wake up Des. "But hey, we all have our ugly...younger pictures we're not proud of"

"Mhm" He hummed and put away his phone. "This girl can sleep" He said, looking down at her as she slept on his chest.

"She must get it from you..."

"What can I say, she's a daddy's girl" He smiled, rubbing her back softly.

"So, how was meeting my family?"

"It was good. I got to touch bases with them and especially with your brother. I think we get along quite nicely, he's a cool kid still..."

"Yeah, I saw you two hanging out. I thought it was sweet to see that.."

"Yeah, I can't wait to have a son I can talk to and play the game with like that someday"

The room got quiet for a minute and only the sound of our daughter sleeping filled the hotel room. Since me and Jay couldn't fit in my small room at my parent's house, we rented a hotel room just for the night.

But when he brought up my brother.......and about having a son, it kind of messed with me. I never got to tell him the truth about James,....the little boy he was so attached too.

"Jay?"

"Hmm?" He looked at me.

"I need to um--tell you something. But I think you should put Des on the other bed for now"

"Okay.." He got up slowly after.

I watched him carry Des over to the other bed we had, pulling a blanket over her and tucking her in on the pillow. Finally he came back over to our bed and sat down again, giving me his full attention.

I looked down to play with my fingers nervously, not knowing exactly how to start this...confession off. I felt guilty nonetheless, but maybe it's time he knew at least one of my secrets.

"I have something to confess to you that...I never told you or hardly anyone else. Other than Kehlani, however"

"...How come she knows?"

"Because I knew her way before you and...it's kind of impossible to keep things from her, she is my best friend after all"

"...Mm, okay. Go on.."

I took a deep breath. "I hope this doesn't..destroy anything between us but...uh--James is actually my son"

He squinted his eyes at me. "James? Your brother?"

"Mhm" I hummed, biting down on my lip.

"How though? I thought he was--"

"He doesn't look anything like my sister and I, Jay. Yes he is a mixed little boy but..he don't look like my mom and dad. Sadly, his dad is responsible for his appearance..."

"His dad? Dyme, I'm so confused..."

"About what?" I laughed at his not knowing. "I had him when I was 12, his birthday just past in November, a day before mine and now he's 11 remember"

"Wow only 12? What was that like?" He sat up.

"The pregnancy wasn't bad actually, but it was in my first trimester that caused problems. How could I tell my parents that I was pregnant and still just in the 6th grade.."

"I can't imagine. But didn't you say you lost your virginity at that age too?"

"I did and...that very same night he took it, he got me pregnant. And I learned really quick that it only took one time to get knocked up, and sadly it was my first time that got me pregnant" I looked down.

"Damn..." He said lowly.

"So, I started showing symptoms of early pregnancy and my dad found out first and took me to the hospital, where I was pronounced one month. Then when I got home, we all had a family talk and what was the plan for when James got here. My mom offered to take James as her son while I got my life together and of course...graduate from the 8th grade. So that's what we did, me and my parents raised him to be another sibling to me but...I still cared for him in the early days. That's why he and I were always together because...he's my son. *takes a breath* I'm sorry but...I'm just so embarrassed" I looked off to the side, teary eyed.

"About what? Its okay..." He said.

"No Jay, it's not. I had a baby at 12 years old that nobody knows about. Not even he does *a tear falls from my eye* He still thinks I'm his sister..., not even knowing that him and I are closer than he thinks. I raised him when he was just a baby and watched my own child grow up to see me only as his sibling..." I cried.

"Why haven't you told him yet?"

"I don't know okay--....I'm scared to. I don't know how he'll react, because....I've been lying to him this entire time. Everything he knows or thinks he knows about his family...is a lie. But when you said how much you wanted a son, it made me feel...really bad. Because he's my son and yet both of you didn't know that"

"Diya, I think he'll understand, stop thinking the worst. As much as you two love each other, I'm sure you'll have nothing to worry about"

I sighed at his response and looked down to twist and turn my fingers again.

"I know it's a hard topic for you...but can I ask why haven't you told me about this earlier?"

"It wasn't a good time" I said with confidence. "Me and you were never this close after our relationship ended, but now we're closer than ever it seems. It feels like I can trust you again without it back firing. Much like how we were when we were together, but back then...I was scared. We were so happy so...why dig my own grave right? I never wanted anything to come between us and I thought if I'd told you "hey yeah, I have a kid", It would've created problems" I confessed.

"So what, you think I would've left you or something. You know I'm not like that" He said.

I looked down. "You left me when I cheated..."

He sighed. "Diya, that's completely different. Are we always going to keep bringing up the reason we broke up?"

"I'm sorry. I just--had to say it. But how do you feel now? Now that you know I had another kid before ours"

"It doesn't change anything to me. Sure it's very surprising that...you had your brother and at just 12 years old by some f*ckboy I'd like to meet and--yeah. But you're still my Diynara but with a rough past and I wish you never had to go through some of the ish you went through. You're really strong inside and I know it can eat you up sometimes but...you've recovered. I barely see those breakdowns anymore" He rubbed on my leg for comfort.

"When have you ever seen me break down besides that one time in the kitchen. Never, I'm sure. Because I tell you....and I'm sure everyone else told you before, that you really make me happy. And you really do"

"Why? What is so special about me? Why am I the lucky guy here?"

"Nigga, I fell in love with you, that's why. You have my heart more than anyone besides my children" I told him faithfully.

"Heh, I know. I fell for you too....and it feels like I'm fallin' now.....all over again..." He looked at me.

"And how would ya nappy-headed ass know that" I turned and laid on his chest, feeling his arms wrap around me.

"Because I just do. Stop questioning me little girl" he poked my nose before I pushed his hands.

The room grew quiet again between us, only hearing the tv softly playing in the background that mixed in with Desiree's snores. I was just about to close my eyes in the moment until he confessed something unexpectedly.

"I wanna be with you again..." he said, breaking the mere silence.

I looked up in a shocked expression, seeing him motion down to me to grab my cheek. "I just gotta drop this ish with Christine, she just ain't the one I really want. She's not the end game option. I think you and me could...work it out again. And be together like I know we both miss being, we'll be together for our daughter and give her that family life she deserves....that me and you both never had ourselves. I know we can make it work"

I still was speechless to say anything, all I could do at the moment was listen and look into his eyes as they turned to me. He leaned in closer to kiss me, kissing me like he'll never see me again and holding on to never let go. "I promise you.... it'll just be me and you against the world again. You and Des is all I want in this world.."

I smiled and nuzzled our faces together, believing him without any doubts about it. He wasn't the only one who missed our old times. And all I could think about now was our future, the future I always wanted with him and our children. The one where we'd go missing in action together and leave all the bullshit behind us. The one where we'd raise our family...and give them the world like we always wanted as kids.

I could only dream of that day...
