A/N: As usual thank you for the reviews and since we've reached chapter seven, then it means that its time for the chapter countdown. I don't know what my end chapter is so the only thing for you to do is keep on reading until I'm ready to tell you when to stop reading. It's a delicate process, so ONWARDS!

DISCLAIMER: I only own my own characters, if it's in The Boondocks genre…then it's not mines!

Chapter Seven

Obsession

Taylor Freeman-Caesar

"How about this one?" I asked Jazmine as we through another set of websites, trying to find an apartment for Jazmine because there was no way in hell she was staying with that bastard anymore. After she told me that he married her for money, I went off and wanted to take my earrings off, but Caesar talked me out of it…as he always did. I might have Caesar's last name—which is ironically the name he goes by—I was a Freeman through and through. I would've had Riley on my side, but he was still in Hawaii at the time. So of course Jazmine was going to stay with me, I even talked her into getting her own place so she could move a few weeks after she had her baby. Speaking of baby, her stomach was getting bigger by the day and the twins loved patting it constantly. It was cute, anything they did was cute…they were my babies.

"I like it," Jazmine said and it's not that far away from the office, so when I go back to work I can just find somewhere for the baby to stay during the day.

"Girl, I told you just let me drop her off at Caesar's Mom. She doesn't mind, she loves little kids as long as it's not a full-time thing," I said. "And besides, I trust Caesar's Mom better than those stupid daycare centers, its like they don't clean at all. I took the twins there one time, when I got back they were sick and had to go to the hospital. The next day I had to call the health department and a week later, that daycare center was shut down."

"What about Kindecare?" Jazmine asked me.

"Too expensive. They want more out of Caesar and I because Caesar's famous, its not worth it," I said. "I remember Huey used to leave Robby with Tianna Stevens, but you know she moved away with her family last month."

"I heard, do you know the reason?" Jazmine asked me. I was about to respond, but I heard a knock on the door and went to open it. Before I could even see who it was, a blonde blur hugged me tight.

"Your back!" I said when I realized that it was Cindy and Riley was behind her. I hugged her tighter. "Jazmine, Riley and Cindy are back."

"Jazzy, you're here too! I was going to head down to your house, but I saw your car," Cindy said. She let go of me and her and Riley entered my house. I would be teaching, but it was teacher's day and it gave me time to spend with my girls who were sleep. I was also working from home, grading papers from my last exam.

"Hey, how was your honeymoon?" Jazmine as Cindy hugged her, but it wasn't as tight because Jazmine was nine months pregnant and anything could make her pop. Riley patted her on the back as he sat down, Cindy sat in his lap.

"Gurl, I recommend you coming to Hawaii, it's so beautiful," Cindy said. "Riley and I got a lot done, didn't we?" Riley nodded as the two started making out.

"You two are freaks," I said. "There is a baby here."

"So where's Kovu and Caesar?" Cindy asked.

"Their working, they'll be glad when Riley's back so it wouldn't be so much since Jazmine went on maternity leave," I said.

"Yeah, I don't wanna go back," Riley said and I rolled my eyes. "I just got back, I've been gone two months and those two niggas still put out good shit. Give me one more day of rest." Then I felt a puddle of water underneath me and looked over at Jazmine.

"Jazmine…did you water just break?" I asked her. She nodded and I heard Riley swear.

"Damnit, I just brought these shoes!" he shouted as he helped her up. Cindy went and opened the door and I placed Jazmine in the back of my car.

"Just keep doing your breathing exercises, OK?" She nodded as she started breathing and I turned to Riley and Cindy. "I'm going to take Jazmine to the hospital, I need you to take the twins over to Caesar's Mom and call Huey and Caesar along the way. See you later." They nodded and the moment my car hit the road, I drove faster than normal to Chippenham Hospital. I wasn't going to get caught in this traffic.

Huey Freeman

It's been twelve hours since we arrived at the hospital and every one of has been taking turns going in and out of Jazmine's hospital room, trying our best to calm her down while she was gearing up to give birth. Caesar and I arrived at least five minutes after Jazmine and Taylor did and Riley arrived 30 minutes later because he needed to change his shoes. I wanted to ask him if they were ruined, but his expression said it all. By the time Taylor came out, she asked me if I wanted to go back and I just nodded, I was tired of watching this What to Expect Now She's in Labor crap. After putting on the scrubs the doctors provided, I walked inside Jazmine's hospital room and saw her in pure pain. Never doubt that women are stronger than men.

"Hey," I said as I put the mask over my mouth. "What's going on?"

"Are you trying to be funny?!" she screamed as she went through another contraction.

"It might help," I said as I sat down in the little stool with wheels that made me look ridiculous. "No seriously, why isn't Tyson here?" The pain stopped, but she glared at me.

"He said that he was on business and he would be gone for like three months," she said with a sadness. "I mean, he's the one who got me this way so shouldn't he be here?"

"Yeah," I said. "But to be honest, he's a jackass and you don't deserve that."

"But I'm marrying him," Jazmine said. "And despite what everybody says, he loves me."

"If he loves you so much then he would be here instead of me," I said and before she could answer, a doctor along with his nurse entered the room.

"Alright, Jazmine your fully dilated. Its time for you push," he said. He then looked over at me. "Sorry, but you'll have to leave now. Unless your family." I was about to leave, but I felt a slim hand holding onto mines. A curtain was placed between her and her stomach.

"Please don't leave me!" she cried. I looked over at the doctor who shrugged his shoulders as if he didn't care. I had no choice but to stay.

"Alright, Jazmine on the count of three I want you to give me a big push," he said. She nodded her hand and grabbed my hand. I already knew what was coming, my hand was going to hurt really bad for the next few days. "One…two…three, PUSH!" Jazmine screamed as pushed with all her might and I wanted to scream too, but held it in.

"I'm sorry, Huey," she said in near tears.

"Don't worry about it, I'm not in any pain," I lied to keep her focused. "Just keep pushing."

"PUSH JAZMINE!" The doctor shouted and Jazmine screamed once more. "I can see the head, just one more push and it'll be all over. PUSH!" Jazmine gave one final push and the next thing I heard was the crying of a newborn. It was a girl. But there was one little problem.

"Why is my stomach still big?" she asked.

"Because your having twins," the doctor said.

"WHAT?!" Jazmine shouted—well more like cried.

"Just give me one more push, Jazmine, OK? PUSH!" Jazmine pushed one more time and I heard the crying of another newborn. This was a boy. "Congratulations, you're the proud mother of a girl and a boy." After the babies were clean off and the umbilical cords were cut off, he handed them over to Jazmine who was smiling.

"Hi, little man, I wasn't expecting you," she said with a smile. "I already picked out name for your sister. Her name's Alexandria Elizabeth DuBois. I guess I can name you Thomas Samuel DuBois, JR." I looked at her as a nurse brought me a bag of ice. Tyson was an idiot.

"Well, congratulations," I said. I was about to leave, but she tugged my hand.

"Do you want to hold one of them?" she asked. I was about to answer when the door opened again and low and behold…the devil himself showed up.

"Tyson, look. Twins," she said with a smile.

"Baby that's great," he said with a smile. He walked over and gave her a kiss on the cheek. "I'm sorry, I wasn't thinking and I missed you. Thanks for watching over her, Freeman."

"She doesn't deserve you, she deserves better," I said. And with that, I walked out the room. When I entered the ward; Taylor, Riley, Cindy, and Caesar looked at me.

"She has twins, a boy and a girl and Tyson's back," I said as I headed towards the elevator.

"Huey, I'm sorry," Taylor said as the elevator doors opened.

"Sorry for what? Nothing happened," I said. I got in the elevator and once the doors closed and the elevator started moving down, I sat down on the floor and wished that I was in that room instead of Tyson. She truly deserved better…but it wasn't going to be me.

Time: 3:30 P.M.

A few days later, I was doing some work in the living room and Alyssia was at her own apartment with Robby when I heard a knock on the door. When I opened it, I saw that it was Tyson and Jazmine they each held a baby. Tyson was holding Alexandria and Jazmine was holding Tom.

"Tyson, what are you doing here?" I asked. I was used to Jazmine visiting, but Tyson would always get on her case when she came by to visit. Jazmine spoke up.

"We wanted to invite you to our wedding next month, it's on the 22ND and it would mean a lot if you and Robby came," Jazmine said.

"Jazmine, I don't do weddings. I barely wanted to go to Riley and Taylor's weddings, so I'm sorry but I can't make it," I said.

"It'll be really fun, I promise," Jazmine said. Her emerald-green eyes shone brightly and she smiled. She was practically glowing as a brand-new mother.

"Alright, I'll come. Anything else?" I asked. Jazmine saw that her twins were getting fussy, which meant they were either hungry or they needed a nap.

"Tyson, the twins are hungry."

"I'll come along in a minute, you carry them back to the house," Tyson said. Jazmine held her other hand and carried her babies back to her house across the street. Tyson took a step further inside my house without my say-so.

"Look, just because Jazmine wants you at the wedding doesn't mean I do. I want you to understand something Freeman, Jazmine is going to be my wife not yours," Tyson said. "So don't try anything. I heard what you said the day the twins were born. She's getting the best there is, I make more money than you and unlike you, I have feelings and emotions. Your sadistic and the fact your teaching you son that—"

I slammed him into the nearby wall and had my hands on his neck, I was five minutes from strangling him.

"First and foremost, we've been over this shit back in July. You never, ever talk about my son! I will fucking cut your head off if you do it again. Second of all, I said that shit so she could hear it and the fact that she's still marrying you after all the bullshit you put her through means that she's kind-hearted and is willing to look the other way when it comes to slime like you. And lastly, if you even try to put a hand on me…it will be the last time you see life, are we clear?" I let him drop to the ground.

"You making threats Freeman?" I asked him.

"No, because Freemans don't make threats…they make promises and believe me, I never break a promise. I'll see you on the 22ND, Tyson and you better behave beforehand," I said. Tyson glared at me before he walked out my house and back towards his. Stupid motherfucker.
