Not Your Typical Family(Book 3)

The way out seemed longer than usual but when they came up to the exit door, Kacy looked to his left and stopped.

He squinted his eyes, hoping he didn't see what he swore he did. He shook it off and continued walking .

He squinted his eyes, hoping he didn't see what he swore he did. But this time, instead of walking off , he kept looking. The person down the hall looked so familiar, but who was it?

All of a sudden, Kacy started to walk towards the person who stood at the end of the hall. When he finally stood behind the man, he gently tapped his shoulder for him to turn around.

When he did, the man stood in front of Kacy and smirked. "Jose?" Kacy asked in disbelief.

Jose laughed bitterly as he pulled out a gun and aimed it right at Kacy. In one single motion, the gun went off.

Kacy popped up from his sleep, sweat dropping from his face and his heart beating quickly. He looked around the room, realizing he was in Karmas bed with her asleep next to him.

"Yo, what the f**k" he mumbled. Karma groaned and turned towards him "Karma, mama wake up"

"Nooo" she whined.

"I had a bad ass dream baby, about that trip ta' the institution. Remember how ya was sayin' somethin' ain't right?"

"Mhhm" she mumbled.

"I think I know what it is"

"Kacy, what you tal-"

"Jose. In my dream, he shot me"

Karma eyes popped open and she slowly started to sit up. Kacy looked at her weirdly as she got out the bed and went to grab her phone. The same trac phone she had from when they did missions.

She scrolled down to the last message from Jose and past the phone to Kacy. The message read : I'm everywhere you don't expect me to be.

Kacy frowned "Let me call this nigga cause he must not know me"

"Kace, it's 4am"

"Ion give a f**k" he yelled. Karma sighed and walked over to him, hugging his waist as he called Jose, who actually answered pretty quickly.

"My friend, Kacy. What's going on?"

Listening to Jose speak, the strong Hispanic accent he had now seemed to be gone.

Completely.

"Who's this?"

"Jose" a light laugh followed "What can I do for you?"

"What's that text you sent my wife? We did something ya ain't like?"

"Nope" was all Jose said.

"Then what's that threat about?"

"Not really a threat, more like a warning. " The call ended and Kacy clenched his jaw. He angrily threw his phone against the wall , still having Karma hug his waist. He then, let out a laugh "This s**t couldn't happen at a worse time, man"

"What happen?"

"Nigga talkin' about its a warning. Like , I got kids and s**t man. I can't d-"

"You won't do nothing alone, so stop thinking like that. You have me, Kat, Ash, Dion and Morgan"

Kacy sighed "Let me see ya phone to call them."

Passing her phone, Karma looked at the time "The appointment is tomorrow" she mumbled.

"Having regrets?" He looked over at her as the phone rang for Morgan.

Karma shook her head "It actually feels right. I'm just scared, for the pain"

Kacy kissed Karma on the forehead "Stop stressing baby. Ya overthink s**t and get hyped sometimes"

"I know but I never went through something like this so I can't stop thinking about it. Like, how I'm supposed to feel?"

"I guess you'll have ya answer afta it's all ova"

Karma sighed as Kacy walked out the room, talking to Morgan "I guess you're right"

*****

It's been almost six hours since Kacy and Karma arrived at the abortion clinic. Karma had to go to the back alone but Kacy was standing beside the door, waiting for her to come out.

The whole time, he placed back and forth, hoping she was ok. He called Ed and Chris to get an update on Jose and the situation.

Just as Ed sent another message, the door opened and Karma came out in the a wheelchair. Her appearance looked completely different then when she went inside the room.

The nurse passed Kacy a bag of pain medication "She going to need a lot of rest, minimum movement for at least a week and no s*x for six weeks. Also, if the bleed last longer than three weeks, come back."

Kacy nodded as he went and grabbed the wheelchair. The nurse gently grabbed Kacy "And be gentle towards her emotionally right now. She explained before she was out to sleep that this is what she wanted to happen. Even though she felt that way, she may still feel regret"

"Thank ya"

Kacy rolled the wheelchair outside sighed as the anti-abortion protesters continued to chant and yell their beliefs. Just hearing that made Karma want to cry. "You will be going to the deep pits of hell for what you did" someone yelled.

"Sinner! Sinner!"

Karma closed her eyes as Kacy sped up a little towards the car. Once he arrived, he gently lifted Kacy and put her in the passenger seat. He brushed hair from her face and kissed her cheek.

The entire ride home, Karma clenched her stomach, feeling the pain finally start to kick in. She groaned and reached at her feet for the pain medication that was to be taken every four hours.

It would make Karma dizzy, sleepy and hungry once she woke up. She took two and felt as Kacy placed his hand on her thigh. He gently squeezed it, giving her slight comfort but not enough to relieve the pain.

Arriving at the house, Kacy let Dion know to open the door as he lifted Karma and carried her inside. Going right up to the bedroom, Kacy ran warm water and stripped her, sitting in the tub.

"What happen in there?" Kacy asked, washing her off, seeing the water between her legs start to turn slight red.

"They put me to sleep and when I woke up, it was all over" she mumbled, tears flowing down her face. "It's all over. No more baby because I killed it. I'm such a horrible person, Kacy"

"Nah, you're not K. You're an amazing ass woman, who was r***d and ain't wanna be reminded of it everyday by something ya supposed ta' love and cherish"

Karma kept her mouth closed as Kacy continued to wash her off. Once he finished, he carried her to the bed. Making sure she was comfortable, he laid beside her.

She didn't say anything. He didn't say anything. Kacy just held her until she fell asleep.

.........

"So Wassup with Jose? Nigga was all chill with us and s**t a few months ago" Morgan mumbled as he passed baby Morgan another apple slice.

"Man, ion know. But I called him last night and that accent he had, gone" Kacy explained "Sound like he was born right in the states"

Ed sat back against the couch as he typed away on his computer. He started to get frustrated because something was blocking him of any access to anything related to Jose.

All of a sudden, the computer started to beep loudly grabbing everyone's attention. Ed showed a panicked look on his face as he his the keys harder "No, no, no!"

The computer started to smoke and everyone starting coughing. The kids were taken in Moesha room with the door cracked.

"What happen?" Kat asked, fanning the smoke from her face.

"That b***h fried my whole database! Everything I had, all my s**t is gone" Ed yelled. "His firewall. Any password you try, it act like it's working then destroys your hard drive"

"So basically, he knows we looking him up" Kat stated. Everyone agreed "I think we should just talk to him. See what's wrong or something" Everyone looked at Kat and she was passed the phone. She grabbed it and sighed "I ain't know I'd have to call"

She dialed Jose's number and the phone rang and rang and rang. For a moment, she didn't think he'd answer until he finally did. The phone was put on speaker and Chris watched his computer as it located where Jose was.

"Looking for me, I see" Jose laughed. "So who am I speaking with?"

"It's Kat"

"Oh wassup, beautiful. How things going for you?" He asked.

"Fine. I guess. But what's going on with you Jose? We thought things were good between us then you start with the threats and stuff"

"Think of it more as a warning" he said.

Kacy reached for the phone "It's Kacy. Was it you that I saw at the mental institution?"

"I'm everywhere you wouldn't expect me to be" the smile was evident in his voice.

"So ya killed my brother?"

"That crazy f**k? Why Kacy, why would you put that on me?" He laughed "But yes, I did"

Kacy clenched his jaw "So tell me, what this mean fa' us?"

"It means we at war. Either I'll be killed or you and your crew. But with baby Morgan, moesha, little Keegan and not to mention Karma with her little procedure today. The favors aren't on your side"

The call went dead and Chris smiled "Got em"

He turned the laptop towards the crew as a red dot grew larger then shrunk in size repeatedly. Now that they knew where Jose was, they could keep track of him.

"Wait, hol' up. Ain't this Nigga supposed ta' be in Columbia?"

The red dot blinked just a few blocks over from Karmas place. "This s**t crazy" Dion mumbled.
