My b Mia! The next day turned into the next 2 months. Sowwy!
~Teena was just getting home from picking up Dyamond from the babysitter. She pulled up in her driveway and saw VoShonne and some guy getting ready to fight.~
Teena: What's going on out here?
VoShonne: Go in the house.
Teena: Shonne I don't…
VoShonne: Teena! Just take Dyamond in the house and stay there!
~Teena walked in the house and the phone was ringing.~
Teena: Hello.
Traci: What's going on at your house? Z and Nell just went over there.
Teena: I'on know. I just got here and seen VoShonne and some dude getting ready to fight.
Traci: Well, Zane need to bring his ass back home and Cornell need to be at home with Dawn.
Teena: Ya know? VoShonne need to be in here spending time with his daughter instead of out there trying to get his ass killed. Anywayz, where is Dawn? She left the shop all early.
Traci: Girl you know her pregnant ass is at home sleep.
Teena: Should've known. Well, I've got to feed Dyamond so I'll hit you up later.
Traci: Aight girl. Dust.
Teena: I'll holla.
~Teena hung up the phone and was starting to feed Dyamond when VoShonne walked in the house. She picked up the baby and started to follow him.~
Teena: Who was that guy?
VoShonne: Nobody. ~getting his nine and checking the bullets~
Teena: Well if he was nobody what the hell you need that for?
VoShonne: I got some thangs to take care of.
Teena: What thangs? VoShonne, where you going?
VoShonne: Out. ~putting the gun behind his back~
Teena: No VoShonne! Don't do this to us. If you won't stop for me or yourself, think about Dyamond.
~VoShonne turned around and looked at her for a minute and then looked at Dyamond. He kissed them both while opening the door.~
VoShonne: I'll be back. ~walking out the door and closing it behind him.~
~2 months later everything was still going the same and even a little worse. One morning Dawn woke up and noticed Cornell was gone, but it didn't bother her too much. However, 14 hours later she was highly pissed and walked over to Traci's.~
Traci: ~opening the door~ Girl it's 11:00 pm. What's up?
Dawn: ~starts to cry~
Traci: ~pulling her in the house~ What's wrong?
Dawn: ~still crying~ Today is me and Cornell's 4th year anniversary, I cooked a nice candle lit dinner, and he stood me up. He was gone before I woke up, I've been paging him nonstop and I haven't heard from him yet. I've been having contractions all day, my water just broke, and I need you to drive me to the hospital.
Traci: Damn girl! ~hugging her~ It's gon be okay. Let me get my keys and call Teena.
~Traci walked into the kitchen, grabbed her keys, and dialed Teena.~
MV: Hello.
Traci: VoShonne?
VoShonne: Sup?
Traci: Let me speak to Teena.
VoShonne: Aight. Hold on.
Teena: Hello.
Traci: Ay, get over here now.
Teena: Why? Wuz up?
Traci: I'm getting ready to take Dawn to the hospital.
Teena: OMG! She's having the baby! Where's Cornell?
Traci: She doesn't know. Tell Zane and VoShonne to watch the kids and find that nigga as soon as possible.
Dawn: ~from the door~ Trac hurry up or I'ma be having this baby in your damn living room!!
Traci: Meet us outside.
Teena: Aight.
Traci: Dust.
~Teena hung up and grabbed her keys. She was heading out the door when VoShonne stopped her.~
VoShonne: Where you bout to go?
Teena: To the hospital. Dawn's having the baby.
VoShonne: Well, what I'm suppose to do with her? ~pointing to Dyamond~
Teena: You know how to watch your daughter, so do it. And find Cornell and tell him to get his ass down to Sinai a.s.a.p. Bye boo. ~walking out the door~
~VoShonne and Zane paged Cornell nonstop and 3 hours later the phone rang.~
VoShonne: Hello.
MV: Yo Silkk, have you been paging Nelly all nite?
VoShonne: Yeah. Who's dis?
MV: This Kyjuan.
VoShonne: Well, where dat nigga at?
Kyjuan: He's over my crib.
VoShonne: Tell him to get to Sinai quick. His girl bout to have the baby.
Kyjuan: This nigga is split. He can barely walk straight, let alone drive.
VoShonne: Man, shit! Somebody gone be over to get him in bout 15.
Kyjuan: Aight then. One.
VoShonne: One. ~hanging up the phone~
Zane: So where that nigga at?
VoShonne: He over Kyjuan's house, high as a gotdamn 747.
Zane: He always in some shit.
~VoShonne gave him a funny look and they both started laughing~
Zane: Aight, so we all stay in shit. So who gon go get him?
VoShonne: Since this is my house I guess I'll stay.
Zane: Coo. I'll be back then. Lata.
VoShonne: Lata.
~Zane went to Kyjuan's house and dragged Cornell out to the car.~
Cornell: Where we going dirty? ~still a little high~
Zane: To the hospital.
Cornell: The hospital? For what?
Zane: Dawn's having the baby.
Cornell: What baby?
~Zane just shook his head. Twenty minutes went by.~
Cornell: Yo, how much farther is Sinai?
Zane: So yo ass finally came back down to earth?
Cornell: Yeah, this shit is wearing off. I slept most of it off at Kyjuan's.
Zane: You know Dawn's going to be pissed, ri?
Cornell: I know. Nigga do I ever.
~They arrive at the hospital and get directions to Dawn's room. They run into Teena and Traci on the way.~
Teena: Damn! Where have you been all gotdamn day?
Traci: I think his scent says it all. I mean damn, I'ma be high just standing next to you.
Cornell: She have the baby already?
Traci: Yes she did, about a half hour ago, and you missed it. She's in there resting.
Teena: Where's Shonne?
Zane: He stayed home with Dyamond and Tayvion.
Teena: Well I should be getting home to my babies. Cornell ~pausing~ you really fucked up this time.
~Cornell walked into Dawn's room and walked up to her bedside. He tried to kiss her, but she turned her head.~
Cornell: Come on boo. Don't be like that.
Dawn: Cornell, I… How could you forget? 4 years and you forgot. And then you missed the birth of your son. And for what? To smoke a few blunts? I thought I was more important than that. ~getting teary eyed~
Cornell: You are boo, believe me. I'm so sorry. I ain't neva mean for this to happen.
Dawn: Then why'd you leave and not return my pages?
Cornell: Honestly, I was scared. I knew you were due any day and that was stressing me out. I needed to just get away and chill. I was so fucked up I don't remember being paged. I'm sorry boo, fa real.
Dawn: Whateva Cornell. Just go. Leave please.
Cornell: Dawn…
Dawn: Nell, go please!
Cornell: Can I at least see my son?
Dawn: He's in the nursery.
Cornell: Umm, what's his name?
Dawn: Cornell Jajuan Haynes as soon as you show i.d. and sign the birth certificate.
Cornell: Okay. ~walking out the door~ I love you.
~Dawn started crying and Cornell walked out the room with his head down and went to see his son. The next morning Dawn woke up to a room full of roses and a huge teddy bear. From behind the bear came Cornell. He apologized sincerely and they made up.~
~2 months later Traci was at home playing Play Station 2 with Tayvion (smart ass 3 yr old) when the phone rang.~
Traci: Hold on. ~putting the game on pause~ I gotta get the phone.
Tayvion: You just want to stop cuz you're losing.
Traci: Ha ha. You think you so funny, huh? ~making a face at him and answering the phone~ Hello.
MV: Hey baby.
Traci: Zane where are you? When are you coming home?
Zane: That's what I called to tell you. I won't be coming home.
Traci: What?! What are you talking about?
Zane: Baby, ~pause~ I'm locked up.
Traci: WHAT?!
Zane: Calm down girl. It's not that bad. I just got caught up.
Traci: ~sighing~ What'd they get you on?
Zane: Possession of an illegal substance and weapon.
Traci: Z…
Zane: Baby I'm sorry. It's gon be all right. But look I gotta go. I'll call you when I get another chance. I love you.
Traci: I love you too. ~hanging up the phone~
~Traci started crying and Tayvion walked over to the couch and climbed into her lap.~
Tayvion: What's the matter Mommy?
Traci: I'm just sad, that's all.
Tayvion: Are you going to be all right?
Traci: Yeah, … eventually.
Tayvion: When's Daddy going to come home? Maybe he can make you feel better.
Traci: That's just it baby. Daddy won't be coming home for a while.
Tayvion: Why not?
Traci: He got in a little trouble and he can't come home.
Tayvion: When will he be back?
Traci: I don't Tayvion. I don't know.
~Traci kissed Tayvion on the forehead and they sat in each others arms crying.~
~3 weeks later at Zane's trial~

Lawyer: The defendant pleads guilty your honor.
Judge: Mr. Copeland by pleading guilty you will be given the minimum sentence of 15 months in the state penitentiary with the option of parole after 7 months. This court is adjourned.
~a week later Traci visited Zane~
Zane: Hey baby. ~talking on the visitor phone~
Traci: Hi. ~all quiet~
Zane: What's wrong girl? Is there something wrong with T?
Traci: No, he's fine.
Zane: Well then what's wrong?
Traci: Nothing boy. ~trying to smile~
Zane: Trac just tell me. I know something's wrong.
Traci: Z, I'm pregnant.
Zane: What?!
Traci: You heard me.
Zane: Whoa! How long?
Traci: 5 weeks. I just found out a couple of days ago. What am I gon do?
Zane: It's what we're going to do. We're still in this together no matter what.
Traci: I know, but you're in here and…
Zane: ~cutting her off~ I'm going to get out of here. Don't worry.
