Yatta's POV

"Fuck this shit." I spat as I laid on the bathroom floor.

"How you feeling, baby?" Mamé asked as she brought me another towel.

"Like shit....I hate this." I placed my face onto the cold floor.

"Baby you gotta get up from here." She spoke as she rubbed my back.

I shook my head as I closed my eyes. "I can't get up. I'm gon throw up again in bout 5 more minutes so I needa be by this toilet. My head hurtin like a muhfuckah too." I pressed my forehead onto the floor.

Mame sighed as she laid next to me. "You know I hate seeing you like this."

"I know, but I did this shit to myself, and I swore to you ima get clean." My breathing was heavy as I opened my eyes to look at her. "This the worst shit ever."

"I know you can pull through though." She spoke with a small smile.

"This why I fuck wit you." I spoke, before crawling up to throw some shit up again.

"Fuck!!" I shook my head as sweat dripped down my face.

I could tell that Mamé was very concerned on what was going on with me. Just having her by my side and hearing her motivational words were keeping me going right now. Every time I feel like I can't do it, I just remember her face along with Karl. All I know is I can't let them down, and I gotta get right or get left. I just wanna be present in their futures, and I mean healthy.

"Fuck that cup mayne, I'm gon kick that shit on my brother." I shook my head as the sweat from my forehead dripped onto my shirt.

"I'll go get you some more water." Mamé made her way out of the bathroom.

I kept my head low as I rested my back on the wall. Moments later a fan was plugged up and blowing in front of me, and Mamé handed me a cup of detox water.

"Preciate it." I took the cup and chugged it down.

"All this stuff that's coming out...you gotta put something back in, Yatta." Mamé spoke.

"I can't eat." I shook my head and placed the cup on the floor.

"You're literally shitting out water, Kenyana. You need some food in your system so you won't be feeling all weak. You're not getting light headed for no reason." She walked out the bathroom and headed downstairs.

I wiped some sweat off my face before turning over again, feeling something starting to crawl up my throat once again. I didn't hesitate to let it all out, before drinking some more water. A couples minutes later, Mamé walked back into the bathroom with a bowl and some more detox water.

"I read a little bit about foods to eat while detoxing. You gotta eat light, at least a bowl of fruits here and there so you don't get dizzy or make things worse." She sat next to me before handing me the bowl.

"Ion wanna eat, ion feel good."

"Well, you'll feel better after you do. Do I need to feed you?" She took the bowl out of my hands and picked out a strawberry. "Open the fuck up."

[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]

I shook my head and weakly laughed, listening to her anyway.

I ended up laying my head on her, feeling tired and she put her arm over me as she fed me. I felt like a little ass kid having her feed me, but it was whatever to me as long as I get better.

"I miss my boy, mayne." I thought of Karl, who was staying with my aunty at the moment. I couldn't have him around me while I'm all weak like this, throwing up every damn where.

"We'll go see him tomorrow if you get a little better."

"Fashoo." I replied, closing my eyes to sleep.

Mamé's POV

"How's my cousin holdin up?"

I sighed. "He's getting better, I guess."

"Still on the bathroom floor?" Jas asked and I nodded.

"Damn, that shit ain't nothing to play with."

"Who you tellin." I spoke. "So, what news you have to tell me? You know I gotta get back home to Yatta. Him and Siya can only be around each other for so long."

Jasmine sighed. "I need help."

"With what? You know I got you." I spoke.

"I need help telling Project...." She played with her fingers, breaking eye contact with me.

"What?! Jasmine, you haven't told him all this time?"

"No! I'm so nervous, and I feel like he'll be mad since I waited so long." She plotted down on the couch. "And I'm not even sure if he wants kids or not. We've never really talked about it...well atleast seriously."

"Girl...what the hell. What if I would've slipped something out? You lucky I haven't even told Yatta or anyone." I spoke. "You need to tell him, regardless of if y'all talked about it or not. When your body starts changing, don't you think he'll notice?"

"I've been wearing hella baggy clothes-"

"And when you take it off? Girl, you better get a gut start talkin to that man. I know he wouldn't want to miss out on it, you taking that away from him."

She sighed. "You right, ima tell him when I see him."

As if on que, the front door opened and in walked Project. I turned towards Jas as her face grew pale, nervous as hell.

"What up sis, hey baby." Darren made his way towards me and gave me a hug.

"Nothing much, you just got back from the studio?"

"Yuh, making money moves Yadadamean? How my brother holdin?

"He's alright, just tryna get better." I slightly smiled.

"That's wassup. Kicking that shit ain't no joke, but I know that nigga gon pull through." He took a seat next to Jas and kissed her cheek.

"What's wrong wit you?" He furrowed his brows as he looked over at her ghost white face.

"Jasmine, breathe."

"I need to tell you something..." She took his hand and took a deep breath.

"I'll leave y'all two alone-"

"No! Please stay with me, Mamé. I'm finna pass out."

"Why? You good?? You not finna tell me you got sum shit...are you??" I watched as his eyes grew wide and I laughed.

"Darren Mathieu!" She yelled his government while throwing her head back.

"Jasmine, just tell him before he have an anxiety attack."

"Alright....lemme just spit this shit out." She took another deep breath. "Darren, i'm pregnant."

As soon as the last word left her mouth, Project grew a wide smile on his face, causing Jasmine and I to do the same.

"Mayne, you forreal?! Don't play wit me, blood."

"I'm dead serious. I went to the doctors and everything!"

"When? And wit who?

"I went with Mamé, a couple weeks back." Darren looked over at me, keeping the smile on his face.

"Why you ain't tell me? I would've been there witchu."

"I know and I'm sorry, I was so nervous and still am. I really have a baby in me." She held onto her stomach.

"Dawgggg! This shit so crazy. I'm finna call my mama! My baby havin my baby." He kissed Jasmine before kissing her stomach. "You ain't playing wit me, right?"

"Hell no! I'm having yo baby." Jas laughed.

"Awww!" I smiled and Jasmine turned to me with a smile still stuck on her face.

"Thank you bestie! Just know this baby is gon be your God child."

"Oh girl, I know." I smirked. "What do you want?"

"A baby boy, him and Karl gon be so close."

"Now what you say that, I bet its gon be a girl."

"Nah, I think a boy." Project spoke. "Shit, I hope it is. Ain't nun wrong wit a baby girl though."

"Damn right ain't nothing wrong with a girl. Now that I have a boy, I want a girl so bad." I spoke.

"Just wait till Yatta get back right. Y'all really getting married, this is so crazy. We all growing up." Jas shook her head.

"I knowww." I blushed and smiled widely, looking down at the ring on my finger.

"I remember when y'all first met. Let me tell you, that boy would not leave me alone about you. Always asking when I'm gon bring my fine ass chocolate friend around again. I could tell you liked him too, because when I started talking about my family, you would always ask bout him."

"Girl, how come you didn't tell me he was always checking for me?"

"My cousin was a whole hoe, and I wasn't finna get caught up in the middle of that. But shit, he damn sure proved me wrong."

"Time really flew." I shook my head with a light laugh.

"Tell me bout it." Jas stared off.

While Project and Jas called and texted everyone they knew to tell them about the good news, I went ahead and got ready to get back home to my man. I stopped by the grocery store to get more fruits and vegetables, and talked to Karl and Jasmine's mama the whole ride home. Her mom was too excited about the baby news. At first, she was unhappy that she didn't know sooner, but got over it and started guessing on what they were having.

I spoke to Siya who was on the way out, since she had to get ready for work. I called their aunty on Facetime, so Yatta could see both her and Karl. After talking for years on my dying phone, we ended the conversation and I helped Yatta into the bath tub. His legs were getting stronger and he was able to stand on his own now, but with his insides feeling like shit, he didn't have all the energy to do that.

After helping him get dressed and showering myself, we got ready for bed, since I told him that a full rest would help him get better sooner. Yatta spoke on the phone to KE and them, before eating again and knocking out completely. I stayed up for about another hour and watched some TV. My eyes grew heavy and I turned off the TV, getting comfortable while Yatta wrapped his arm around me, and soon fell asleep.
