Hey Mia! I got your message on my board so I decided to drop you an exclusive story.
~At Teena's house~
Traci: I don't know how much more I can take.
Teena: You ain't the only one. VoShonne is making me sick with this shit.
Traci: I feel ya.
Dawn: Yeah.
Teena: What's wrong with you? This is usually your chance to go off.
Dawn: I got something to tell y'all, but you can't trip cuz I ain't tell y'all sooner.
T&T: Aight. What is it?
Dawn: I'm 3 months pregnant.
Teena: For real? Congratulations.
Dawn: I don't wanna keep it.
Traci: Does Cornell know?
Dawn: Naw, I haven't told him yet.
Teena: I don't blame you. I hate bringing Dyamond up in this.
Traci: I know how that is too, but I gotta run. I have to pick up Tayvion from the babysitter.
Dawn: Yeah, I should go too. I got a lot of thinking to do.
Teena: So y'all just gon leave me like that? That's aight. I'll get my baby to keep me company. ~picking up Dyamond~
Traci: Bye girl.
~Traci got in her black Navigator and drove off. Dawn walked across the street to her house and went inside. She was sitting at the kitchen table with her head in her hands when Cornell walked in.~
Cornell: Hey boo. ~kissing her on the cheek~ Why you sitting in the dark? ~looking at her and then sitting across from her~ What's wrong?
Dawn: Cornell… ~sighing~ I'm pregnant.
Cornell: What?! OMG! This is great! ~leaning in to kiss her~
Dawn: ~getting up and walking into the living room~ I don't wanna keep it.
Cornell: What?! ~following her~ What are you talking about?
~with Teena and VoShonne~
~VoShonne walked in the door and kissed Teena and Dyamond.~
VoShonne: How are my two favorite girls?
Teena: We're fine. Say hi Daddy. ~waving Dyamond's hand~ So how was your day?
VoShonne: It was coo, I guess. I'm tired.
Teena: Why you so tired? You ain't got a job so it ain't that. Where'd you go?
VoShonne: I was, you know, hanging round the way. Why you trippin today?
Teena: I'm not trippin. I just wondered where you've been all day. I don't understand why you can't go out and get a regular job like a normal person. Why you gotta run with them wild niggas?
VoShonne: You knew how I was and what I did before you got involved with me. You could of left me alone if you couldn't deal with it.
Teena: It's not me I'm worried about. I'm worried about you and Dyamond. What if one night you don't make it home? What happens then? Dyamond will never know who her father is.
VoShonne: Girl, you know ain't nothing ever going to happen to me and I'm not going to let anything to happen to you or Dyamond either.
Teena: Yeah, well I'm not sure about that.
VoShonne: Te… ~pager starts going off. He looks at it and starts walking toward the door~ Look, I gotta go.
Teena: I thought you were tired?
VoShonne: I'll be back. ~walking out the door~
Teena: Yeah, whatever!!
~with Dawn and Cornell~
Cornell: ~sitting down next to her on the couch~ Whatchu mean you don't wanna keep it?
Dawn: You heard me, and you know exactly what I mean.
Cornell: Baby, how many times do I have to tell you I ain't gon let nothing happen to you or me.
Dawn: How am I suppose to believe that when you're living this way? ~pointing to his blue rag~ It's bad enough I worry about you 24/7 as is, but to bring a baby into all this is even worse.
Cornell: I know what you're saying, but you gotta remember this is my baby too and I want you to have it. I promise I won't let anything happen to you, this baby, or me.
Dawn: And how are you going to guarantee that?
Cornell: I'll get out. I promise. ~pager starts going off~ Baby, I gotta go. ~getting up and kissing her on the cheek~
Dawn: Cornell…
Cornell: ~cutting her off~ I promise. Luv ya. ~going out the door~
~at Traci's~
Tayvion: Mommy, when's Daddy getting home?
Traci: I'm not sure baby. He should be home soon. Why don't you go upstairs and get ready for bed and I'll be up in a minute to tuck you in.
Tayvion: Otay. ~walking upstairs~
Traci: Where the fuck is he?
~She goes upstairs to Tayvion's room and tucks him in~
Traci: Goodnight T.
Tayvion: Mommy?
Traci: Wuz up?
Tayvion: Is Daddy gonna be home tonite?
Traci: ~kinda shocked~ Of course. He'll be here when you wake up.
Tayvion: You promise?
Traci: I promise.
Tayvion: I love you Mommy.
Traci: I love you too. ~kissing him~ Now go to sleep.
~She turned the light out and walked to the door. She stared at Tayvion for a minute and then walked downstairs~
Traci: Damn! Where can he be?
Zane: Where can who be? ~walking up behind her and sliding his arm around her waist~
Traci: ~sliding out of his grasp and turning around to face him~ Where the hell have you been? It's eleven fucking o'clock.
Zane: In BK handling business. Same place I go every day. What's wrong with you?
Traci: This shit isn't funny anymore Z. This is serious. You can't keep selling drugs forever. You have a family to think about now.
Zane: Don't start that shit now. I don't wanna hear it.
Traci: So when do you want to hear it? When you're laid up in a hospital or a casket somewhere? No, I don't think so. You're going to listen to me now!
Zane: Trac this is the way it is and the way it's always been. You like this fancy life, don't you? Buying all that expensive shit. Spending money like it's water. How you think we can afford all this shit? Huh? Standing on the corner got us all this.
Traci: I don't care about the money, I don't care about any of this stuff, the only thing I care about is you and our son. Do you know what he asked me tonite?
Zane: What? ~sounding frustrated~
Traci: He asked me was his daddy coming home tonite. He made me promise you'd be here in the morning. Do you know what that feels like? Do you know how it feels to hear your son ask you that? What happens the one time you don't come home? What do I tell him then?
Zane: Look, we can talk about this tomorrow. I'm going to bed.
Traci: Well since we can't "talk" about it now, I hope you have a nice night on the couch.
~Traci walked upstairs and slammed her bedroom door. Zane slept on the couch and started thinking about what Traci had said. Cornell and VoShonne talked about what each of their girls said too and they all decided they would chill. Things did start to cool down for the trio, but 3 months later every thing was going back to the way it had been.~
That's all I can post right now. Back tomorrow!! :) Holla!!
