April Powers
Two Weeks Later

Sinking down into my parents couch, I stuffed a big spoonful of my dads cookie dough ice cream in my mouth. He isn't here but if he was he'd probably kill me.

Keith makes me eat like a rabbit at home so I'm going to be a big greedy pig here.

I picked up another spoon to eat and it fell down my shirt. "Shit!" I tried to get it with my hand but it was too cold. I looked over at the bag of lays next to me and an idea popped in my head. I grabbed one and scooped up the ice cream and ate it.

"Damn you greedy as fuck." Chris said.

I flipped him off. "I have an excuse. What you doing here?"

"Dropped off Carter, he's upstairs sleep. What you doing here?"

"I needed a place to eat like a pig in peace."

"Dad gone kick yo ass about that ice cream. He don't let nobody get none of that, even my kids."

"Well I'm not yo kids. I get whatever I want, especially from Daddy."

"Alright just wait until he come in here."

"Okay."

"I still can't believe yo egghead ass about to be a mom."

I laughed at the egghead part. "I can't believe it either. It's one of the best experiences though." I rubbed my stomach. "I'm so ready to find out what I'm having!"

"I hope it's a boy. You don't need a daughter."

"Why not?"

"Because you gone turn her into a mini you."

"And what's wrong with that?!"

"You a spoiled brat, that's what's wrong and I hope you know that I'm done giving you what you want, everything goes to my niece or nephew."

"Whaaat? That's not fair."

"I've always told you that once you have kids all that spoiling shit for you is dead."

"Whatever. As soon as I give you my famous puppy dog face I'll get what I want."

"That's what you think." He said. It got quiet and I just watched him picked his nails. "So I got a friend."

"Mhm."

"He's been with his wife for a minute and lately he's been feeling like they've been drifting apart. And it's not on his end. It's on hers. She's barely home, working more than usual, doesn't spend time with the kids. And he thinks that it may be possible that she may be cheating. How should he go about asking her if that's the case?"

"First of all, any smart person knows when somebody says 'I have a friend' they're talking about themselves and I could never imagine Sabrina cheating on you."

"Me either but things change, people change."

"Feelings change too, never thought the circumstances would've changed you." I sung and he looked at me like really nigga. "I'm sorry." I laughed. "But seriously, Chris just ask. That's the only thing you can do. Assuming is just going to fuck your head up. If you really wanna know approach her."

He took a deep breath. His eyes started to turn red and my heart sank. I've never seen my brother get sad. He's either angry or happy.

"What am I supposed to do if she is? How do you handle that? You know my temper, if she says she is or if I find out she is, I don't know what I'm going to do." A tear fell.

Sighing I got up and sat next to him. "Chris don't cry."

"Is this karma for how I've done her in the past? What did I do April?"

"You don't even know if it's true so don't think like that."

"But your gut feeling is normally right. And I'm sure that if I ask she's not just gone up and say yes. I gotta find out on my own."

"And how are you going to do that?"

"If I gotta follow her everywhere she goes, get her phone traced, something, I'm going to find out." He wiped his face. "I never thought we would ever get to this point. I never thought that I'd have to question her loyalty to me."

"I know the feeling, but it's going to be okay. Trust me."

He nodded then stood up. "Ima head out, I got a few runs to make."

"Okay, call me if you wanna talk. I'm free."

"Thanks baby sis. Stop feeding my niece or nephew all that junk."

"Hush! You sound like Keith."

"That shit ain't healthy."

"Tastes healthy to me."

"Fat ass, bye!"

"Bye."

He walked out the house. I hope this feeling he's having just goes away. Bri has always been ride or die type and beyond loyal for my brother, even after he cheated. But it's true people change. But why wait until you guys are married for so long and have two kids to do dirty.

As bad as I want to talk to her about it, I stay out of peoples relationships. I hate when somebody is all up in mine so I'll just sit back and give advice when asked.

And just pray that nothing goes wrong.

Keith Powers

I sat in the parking lot of a play area near my old house. My palms were sweaty and I felt sick to my stomach.

Glancing down at the paper that said this little girl was really mine made my fucking head spin. How did I slip up and get this bitch pregnant? Out of my 28 years I've only had unprotected sex with 1 woman and that's the woman I gave my last name.

We were drunk that night, I do remember us having sex and I swear I put on a condom! Brittany handed it to me! She said that she knows how I am about not wearing a glove.

This shit is fucking crazy.

A car pulled up next to me and Brittany climbed out. Taking a deep breath, I cut off my car and climbed out then walked over to her.

"Hey." She spoke up.

"Let's do this. Where is she?"

"You can't speak back?"

"No, now go get her."

She rolled her eyes and went to the back of her car, opening the door. I heard the seat belt unbuckle then little feet hit the ground. I took a deep breath as she walked around the car.

Then there she stood.

"Kiara, I want you to meet your dad." Brittany said.

She shyly waved and stood behind Brittany's leg. I got down to her level holding out my hand. This little girl was beautiful, I couldn't deny that.

After being hesistant for a while she grabbed my hand and came up to me.

"Hey Kiara, it's nice to finally meet you."

She didn't say anything just laid her head on my shoulder. Picking her up I started walking over to the playground and sat on a bench. "So When is your birthday?" I asked.

"December 2nd. I'll be 3 soon."

"Wow! You're such a big girl."

She smiled and that warmed my heart. "When is your birthday?" She asked me.

"August 22nd. I just turned 28."

"You're old."

I laughed. "Yeah I'm getting up there. I know it's two years too late but I'm hoping that me and you can get to know each other better. You know you'll have a little brother or sister next year?"

"Really?!"

"Yeah, my wife April is about to have a baby, I can't wait for you to meet her. You guys are going to love each other."

"Why isn't mommy your wife?" She asked.

Because your mother is a Thot ass thief.

"Uuuum, we'll talk about that when you're older."

"Okay."

"Now let's go play for a little bit before it gets dark."

She nodded and hopped off my lap and ran over to the slide.

Later On

That little girl got too much energy, she ran all over this damn playground. She ended up falling asleep.

I decided to text April to see if she was home. I had to tell her about this and I wanted to do it tonight but I wanted to find the right way to tell her.

Food is her best friend right now so I'm thinking feed her then BAM! Tell her what's going on.

She text back and said she was at her parents and would be home in a few hours. That's perfect.

After Brittany put Kiara in the car she walked back up to me. "Thank you for doing this, I really appreciate it."

"I did it for her not you."

"Why do you hate me so much? What have I ever done to you? If anything I should be the one mad, you left me to go back to April."

"I left you because you stole from me and you told me you cheated, you don't have a reason to be mad."

"Keith we have to have some type of relationship for our daughters sake."

"The only time we need to deal with each other is when it's about her, besides that there's no reason for us to deal with each other."

"One day we need to sit down and figure out everything for her."

"Cool, But That'll have to be after I tell April because she'll be apart of this meeting."

"For fucking what?!"

"She's my wife, she's Kiara's stepmother, whether you like it or not."

She rolled her eyes. "Honestly I don't want her anywhere near my child."

"Well you ain't got no choice. I got somewhere to be. I'll text you once I've talked to April." I walked to my car and got in. Brittany still stood there looking dumb as hell.

After leaving the park I headed to the grocery store. I decided to make chicken stuffed with broccoli and cheese over rice.

Yeah, I know how to cook now. Well not everything but I'm getting there. As soon as I got home, I got in the shower then started dinner. While my chicken finished cooking I set up the dining room real nice.

By the time I was finished the front door opened.

Perfect timing.

I walked to the front door. "Wassup beautiful." I held her face and kissed her.

"Hi babe. Something smells good."

"Yeah, I got a nice surprise for you." I grabbed her hand and led her into the dining room.

"Woooow, all this for me?"

"Of course." Pulling out her chair she sat down. I went and got our plates then sat down.

She waited no time digging in. "Oh my gosh this is good Keith."

"Thanks baby but don't you wanna put your purse down." I laughed.

"Oh my bad. I smelt food and that's all I was worried about."

"I see....what were your parents up to?"

"Nothing much, what did you do today?"

"Went to the shop for a little bit then I had to meet up with somebody."

"Oh okay."

"I was thinking if we should do a gender reveal for the baby I'm thinking we should just find out when I get my ultrasound done. Cause you know I'm going to find out even if somebody try to keep it a secret from me."

"Whatever you wanna do Baby we can."

"Okay. So I need to ask you something."

"Wassup?"

"If you thought I was cheating how would you approach me about it? I need a man perspective about this."

I looked at her confused. "I don't know, I don't think we'd ever be in that situation anyway."

"Of course we won't but still. I just wanna know."

"I mean how many people do you ask if they're cheating and you get a straight answer? I'd probably try to find out on my own. Somebody you know going through this."

She sighed. "Chris unfortunately. But I think he's tripping."

"Yeah I can't even imagine Sabrina doing that."

"Me either."

It got quiet and we both ate our food. It's now or never.

"I need your opinion on something too." I said.

"I'm listening."

"I have a friend and he just found out that he has a two year old daughter and he's trying to figure out how to tell his wife. He didn't cheat on her though, it's something that happened before they got back together." I said.

April stared at her food then up at me. "He should just come out and tell her."

I cleared my throat. "Baby I have something to tell you."

The way she dropped her fork I knew where this was going. "I'm listening."

"I have a two year old daughter with Brittany....her name is Kiara."
