April Powers.

My fist pounded on the front door of Chris and Sabrina's house. I know Chris didn't want me to do this but I gotta check this bitch because her being pregnant by another man is FOUL!

I used to look up to this woman, she used to give me the best advice. Maybe she never forced me to leave Quavo because she's a cheater too. I feel so fucking bad for my brother. He doesn't deserve this, he's an amazing husband and father. I'm really trying to figure out what the hell caused this woman to cheat.

The sound of the locks clinking brought me out of my trance and she pulled it open.

Okay, she's REALLY pregnant. She has to be about 4 or 5 months.

"What April?" She asked.

"Bitch yo trifling ass better be lucky you're pregnant because it's taking everything in me not to drag yo sorry ass out this house and fuck you up! How could you do this to my brother?"

She sighed and placed her hand on forehead but never said anything.

"Just Tell me why Sabrina?" I continued. "The minute you knew you were pregnant by somebody else you should've figured something out. This is so wrong and bold."

She still didn't respond.

"You know what, I hope the woman my brother finds after you is amazing and treats him how he deserves to be treated." I started walking to my car.

"It's Chris's baby April."

I stopped and looked at her. "What?"

"Come in, please."

I headed inside and she led me into the living room. "How do you know it's his?"

"Yes I fucked up by cheating and yes it was more than once but I didn't sleep with that man unprotected. This is Chris's son and he hates me so much he won't even hear me out. I know he's not trying to fix our marriage but I want him to know that this is baby."

"Do you have proof? You just saying it isn't going to get him to listen."

"No, I made an appointment for them to take amniotic fluid and Chris's toothbrush is still here. I can't wait to get this done so he'll know that I will never get pregnant by another man." Tears flowed down her face. "I miss my husband. He doesn't let me get the girls now because of the bullshit he's thinking. I want my family back. When I got those divorce papers I cried so hard. He found the pregnancy tests when I took them and never gave me a chance to explain. Now here we are."

I sighed. "Maybe this will make him more open to fixing things or at least sitting down and to talk to you. He's so hurt, I've never seen him this way."

"He's the perfect husband, I wasn't thinking when I cheated. I guess once he got that shop, that's what he focused on. He was always too tired when he got home to pay me any attention, or he was always there working all damn night. I thought he was cheating but he wasn't. My co-worker just had me feeling important again and everything just happened. I was enjoying the feeling of being wanted. But I'll take it back if I could. I just want Chris to know how sorry I am."

"Get the DNA test done and let that be the first step for you."

She nodded. "I will."

"Okay."

"How are you? I know you've been going through a lot."

"I'm good. Way better than I was. I still have my days but my happiness is most definitely genuine. Thanks to my wonderful husband and my daughter."

"Honestly Kiara was a blessing in disguise. I know it didn't seem that way when you first found out about her but she's an angel."

I smiled and shook my head. "She is, I love her so much."

"That's good."

I stood up. "I have to go. I'll be back to see how things went."

"Okay."

I walked out the door and climbed into my car then made my way to my next destination, which was another meeting. I'll be so damn happy when this store is open. My body is drained, I need a damn vacation.

After I left my meeting, I went and got me some food then headed to the shop. I miss being here so much. Doing hair again has been on my mind so heavy. Some days I wish I would've just kept it simple and just stayed in the shop. But I want to be Come this business woman. I didn't even think about how tiring this all could be, all I thought about was the money I'd making.

I walked inside and it was full of life like always. Nobody sits in my old station. Dion says he knows that I'll be back.

"Well look what the cat drug in." Dion said.

I laughed. "Hey everybody."

"Oh my gosh April, when is the last time you got any sleep. You look tired as hell." Jazz said.

"I don't even know girl. My life has been going a million miles a minute lately. It's too much going on."

"Well you need to sit your little butt down somewhere." Dion said. "Tell Keith to take you on a vacation."

"I'd love to go on one but I don't have the time right now. It's too much coming up. My store, my other shop, Kiara's birthday. If I take any type of vacation it'll be like two months from now, if my life manages to slow down."

"April you're the reason you're too busy, stop over doing things. I know you're all about your money but honestly boo, another shop is unnecessary. You have to manage two shops and a children's boutique and take care of a 2 1/2 year old. Your life is going to get crazier."

Sighing I placed my hand on my stomach as sharp pains went through it. All this damn work even got me feeling sick. Maybe it's the stress. "I'll figure something out. I do need a break. It's starting to feel like I barely see Keith or Kiara and I don't like that."

"So, cancel your meetings for the next week or in two weeks from now. Book a hotel and a flight, let me know where it is and we're going to get the hell out of Atlanta. We deserve this break honey."

I smirked. "You're right best friend. Matter of fact, I'm going to look up some flight and hotels now. How about Italy? I've always wanted to go." I said while pulling my phone out.

"Whatever you wanna do, I'm down."

Hitting the lock button, I got ready to open my phone but a notification caught my eye. "Oh my god." I whispered. I jumped out of my chair and grabbed my things.

"Bitch where you going?! You just got here." Dion yelled.

"Something just came up. I'll be back tomorrow, I promise."

"It bet not be a damn meeting."

"It's not." I went and hugged him. "Love you babe, I'll call you."

"Love you too."

"Bye everybody." Before they could even respond, I rushed out the door and headed home. When I pulled up, Keith wasn't there. I grabbed a bag out the back seat then headed inside and into the bathroom then pulled out the three pregnancy tests.

My period is a week late. But ever since I had my miscarriage, they've been irregular. One month it'll come when it's supposed to and the next it's a week or two late. I think that I'm pregnant but always end up disappointed.

Exhaling, I took everything out the boxes, then did I What I needed to do.

I sat all three sticks and sat them on the counter and instantly closed my eyes.

Lord knows I want another baby but that accident really fucked me up. I still want Brittany dead but I don't want to kill Kiara's other parent. I shouldn't even call her a parent.

The beeping from the test caused my heart to skip a beat. I slowly opened my eyes then looked down. And once again, nothing.

I sighed while tossing them all in the trash. Why do I keep doing this to myself?! Maybe it's not meant for me to have kids. I can just be grateful that Kiara came into our lives and I'll be able to experience mother hood through her.

I really want my own though.

Wishful thinking huh?

"April." Keith yelled.

I looked up in the mirror and tried to make it look like I wasn't about to cry. "I'm in the bathroom, here I come." After getting myself together I headed out to him. "Hey Daddy."

"Wassup." He kissed me and gripped my ass.

"Where's Kiara?"

"She's staying with my mom tonight."

"Oh okay."

"You just got here?"

I sighed. "Yeah, about 30 minutes ago."

"Oh....you okay?"

I didn't want to bring this up but we promised after losing the twins we'd always talk about things. "I thought I was pregnant, once again." My eyes filled with tears. "But I'm not."

He exhaled then pulled me in his arms. "It'll happen April. I promise you it will."

"I know. I just can't wait for the moment that it does even though I shouldn't be impatient."

"You have every right to be. I'm telling you it's coming soon and it's going to be triplets this time."

"Keith, don't jinx me."

"I'm serious."

"I'm cool with just one."

"Okay. But since Kiara isn't here, let's practice some more." He was about to head upstairs but I pulled him back.

"Kiara's not here so that means we can practice wherever we want."

"I like the way you think Mrs. Powers." He placed me on the counter.

"I know, now Fuck me, Mr. Powers."

"Say no more."

Afterwards

We cuddled in bed, while a movie played but we only paid attention to each other.

I'm so in love with this man.

"Keith."

"Hm?"

"Let's take a vacation, I think we need a break from Atlanta for a while."

"Alright, But can I plan the trip."

"Of course."

"Alright and I'll pack your bags. You can't know where we're going until we land there."

I smiled. "I like this."

"You're going to love it."

I climbed on top of him. "But not as much as I love you."

"Of course not."

Our lips met and the kiss got heated fast. Once I felt him get hard, I lifted up and pushed him back inside of me.

I know one day I'm going to get the chance of birthing my own child but it's time to let that happen on its own.

Most women want to experience motherhood. I just can't wait to get my rainbow baby.
