Zyaria's POV I walked in my office but before I could get in my seat good my door busted open. I turned to see my cousin Drake looking like he had ran a marathon. "What you want Drae? What’s the problem?" "Uncle Hakeem's in the hospital. We have to go now!" I dropped everything. "What happened?! " "No time ill tell you on the way." I grabbed my phone and keys and ran out the door behind him. Why did this have to happen right now? I cant lose him like my father. JaMarion better not have any f*****g thing to do with this. I swear to god that nigga will wish he never met me. JaMarion POV I've been wrapped up in my thoughts all day. I don’t understand why. I saw a pictures of my kids today and something just hit me. They look like me but my daughter she's more her mother than anything. Check this s**t out though. They were delivered on my birthday. I snapped out of my thoughts when there was a knock at my door. "Come in." Damien walked in and plopped down in the chair in front of me. I looked at him sideways. I used to call him my best friend and my brother. I don’t know what happened to us. "Damien why you here? Even after I left you still here why? Don’t you hate me or some?" He looked at me like I had lost my mind. "You think I hate you?" I raised an eyebrow. He chuckled. " I see your point but me and you been boys. When we became friends we were basically in diapers. Yea what you did was really f****d up but I wouldn’t turn my back on a nigga I consider my brother. I may not want to speak to you or none of that s**t until you realize how you f****d up but I’m still here for you plus your niece or nephew need to know their crazy, dumb ass uncle." I grinned but then I turned serious. "Be real with me how she been since I got locked up." He shrugged. "At first she was happy but after the twins were born she seemed a little off. I guess because they remind her so much of you. You should know she loved you despite of the dumb s**t you did. Zayden stepped in and she thought she loved him but I can tell she don’t when me and Cass be around them. He think he slick too but Ian gone ruin they relationship. That aint my cup of tea." "Nigga the f**k is you talking about." I said laughing. "That nigga gay." He started shaking his head. "Don’t be lying on that mane Damien." He sucked his teeth. "Bruhh.. my little cousin Shaun was talking about this dude he been with for a year. He described him to me. Manee that dude described Zayden from the top of his head to the tip of his toes. LITERALLY!" He said shuddering. Then he gagged. I couldn’t even stopped my self I was on the floor laughing. So this nigga in the closet. Ohh Zyaria.. ………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… Zyaria's POV ¨Uncle Hakeem why didn’t you tell me you had cancer. " I asked barely holding in my tears. "I've been fighting it since you were little Zy. It wasn't as bad back then but things have changed. I planned to tell you once this situation with JaMarion blew over but this had a mind of it's own. " "What am I going to do without you? The twins won't get to spend any more time with you. I won't get to spend any more time with you. I already lost dad I can't lose you too." The tears finally spilling over. This is just too much all at one time. JaMarion will just have to wait my family is everything. "Zy I know how you feel trust me but things will work out for the better. Just remember you were always my favorite niece."I sniffled and laughed a little. "I'm your only niece uncle Hakeem." He chuckled. "That is true." I then asked the question that I really dreaded. "How long did they give you Uncle Hakeem?" He eyes told me before he answered. Not long. "A couple of weeks tops baby girl." My heart shattered. I finally let go and collapsed on the floor. I attempted to speak but my words seemed to become gibberish. "Zy I can't have you giving up on me. You're a fighter just like your father. You can't let this break you. My niece and nephew need their mother to be a fighter."I shook my head back and forth. "I have no more fight left in me. I can't ever catch a break. My babies' father is out to kill me. My husband is cheating on me. You're on your death bed. Nothing is right and to top it all I can't even see my babies until I know I'm safe. This is not the life I wanted especially not for my kids." "Zyaria you are a Carter. This is something you should have expected. Our lives are never easy that's why we are born fighters. I don't expect you to give up so easily. Your father would be disappointed if he saw you fall to something like this. I don't care what happens remember that even when you father and I are not around we will can still see you we would never leave you. " I got up and walked over to his bed and hugged him tight. I can't believe this is happening right now. "Zy?" "Yes?" I hoarsely spoke. "I would like to spend some time with my niece and nephew very soon." I laughed a little. "I'll get them back down here soon but I have to go back to the office and sort some things out first." "Okay that fine. Just don't stress this out and we'll talk about Zayden cheating on you another time. " He said with a clenched jaw. "I forgot that I mentioned that." He mugged me then dismissed me quietly. I think his meds were beginning to kick in. I walked out of his room and started heading for the elevator when I saw a familiar face. I walked a little closer and sure enough it was him. I wonder what he was doing here. I took the chance to get a good look at him. He has gotten built. He's even a shade darker. His dreads are way longer than I remembered, but my eyes were not playing tricks on me. This was JaMarion Jackson in the flesh standing and talking to.......wait it can't be. My uncle's doctor. I was about to walk closer but he looked up and we made eye contact. It left me frozen in place. His gaze was so intense that even I had to look away. There was a fire in his eyes that I had never seen before I just hope that this didn't mean what my gut was saying. He was nothing but trouble.
