Chapter 20

JaMarion's POV
Tonight, has been the craziest night we've had in a while.
I stand against the wall watching Zy sleep on her dad's shoulder.
Something in my gut tells me she's pregnant. We haven't talked about it much since we realized it was a possibility.
There's just so much going on right now.
She hasn't shown it yet but I know she's happy that her dad's back.
He's probably going to get slapped and cursed out before she starts crying. She's just crazy like that.
The twins are in the room with Naomi. They haven't left her side since she got out of surgery.
The cuts in her back weren't all very deep but she had to get seventy stitches. They numbed her body so she doesn’t feel anything, but she can still move.
I feel bad for the woman. She was dragged into some stupid s**t like this all because she fools with us.
That's a damn shame and I really don’t want to be living like this all my life.
I’ve been thinking, and I’ve decided that I’m going to step down.
There is nobody other than Damien that I would trust with my business, but he doesn’t want it either.
He has two little boys coming and doesn’t want them or Cass involved.
After a couple of days of discussing it we decided to sign over the business to our partners.
They've agreed to it and signed the contract.
The contract states that all parts of the business are to be put under their name and supervision except for the hotels and malls. Damien and I are still allowed to come around at any time to check on things and if we feel as if they are not doing their duties running a legit gang under our regulations then we take back ownership. If either partner dies or is injured Damien and I are to be notified immediately. Otherwise the business is theirs until their sons or daughters are trained to take over.
We are officially out of the game.
I looked over at Zy.
I don't think I could've made a better choice.
Rodrick's POV
I watched JaMarion looking at my daughter as she slept on my shoulder. The look in his eyes tells me all I need to know.
I've heard around town about what he did to my daughter and Zayden. If it wasn't for me coming back at such a time, he would be more than six feet under.
I love my baby girl to death and I should be showing him just what happens to anybody that messes with my daughter but I couldn't do that to her.
I can tell she truly loves him and he does her. He looks at her the same way I use to look at her mother.
I see they've came a long way since they first met.
Now my grandchildren they are very adorable. She would have loved to meet them.
I miss that woman.
She was the first woman to put up with me throughout all my life in the streets. My attitude, temper, and mood swings. She handled it all. I almost died plenty of times but she put up with it even if it was tearing her apart. She was there through it all even when in the beginning I pushed her away but I came to love her with everything in me and I always will.
I felt my face becoming wet and realized I had been crying.
She was the only person that could make me show emotions besides my baby girl.
I wiped my eyes and looked at my baby girl.
She looks every bit of her.
She may not be with me anymore but she gave me everything I could ever want.
A family.
I will always love you Kylie Carter.
Naomi's POV
I feel like I’m floating on air even though I’m lying in this hospital bed.
I don’t feel a thing.
The twins are cuddled up to me sleeping and I promise you it’s the best feeling in the world.
This is exactly why I want to have kids of my own one day and Hakeem would be the perfect dad.
I can tell by the way he is with them.
I froze.
Where is he?
I pressed the button on the bed to call the nurse and seconds later my good friend Haley was walking in.
"How you feeling Nay?"
"I’m feeling okay, but I need you do me a favor and tell everyone outside that I want to see them."
"Sure, Ill tell them and you make sure you get plenty of rest girl. I’ll see you around." She said walking out of the room.
Everyone soon piled in the room waiting for me to speak.
I took a deep breath.
"Where's Hakeem?"
No one looked at me as if they were avoiding answering.
This pissed me off.
Where is my future husband?
"WHERE IS HE?!"
I yelled getting frustrated ignoring the heart monitor.
"He stayed behind."
My heart dropped.
"FIND HIM!!"
