Saturday

The trial was finally here and everyone was nervous.

"How do I look?" Jazmine asked as she looked at herself in the mirror.

Huey was tying up his dress shoes and took a quick glance to Jazmine. "You look fine."

She sighed. "You don't think I should wear something more lose around the stomach? I need to buy some other clothes that are looser fitting. I mean they stretch but I don't want them to be like 'eww look at the pregnant teenager, she's nasty' type of thing." Jazmine said as she looked at herself in a simple purple dress.

Huey walked over and wrapped his arms around her stomach. "You need to stop worrying about what people think."

"We're going to court Huey. The whole point is that the people have to think if the man should be punished. I will be thinking about what other people are thinking the whole time."

Huey rolled his eyes. "Stress is not good for-"

"'You and the baby,' I know Freeman." Jazmine finished off.

"See, you're learning." Huey smirked.

Jazmine groaned and pushed him away. "You're so annoying."

"Negros! Tom is here to get us! Let's go!" Their heard their grandfather call out.

"Coming!" Jazmine shouted back before turning to Huey. Her deep emerald eyes stared into his maroons. "You ready?"

Huey slightly nodded. "Ready to have this over and done with."

He leaned down and gave Jazmine a quick kiss on the lips before taking her hand and making their way downstairs.

Riley and grandad were already there in normal court attire.

"Why we gotta be there so early? It's so fucking early." Riley complained which earned him a slap upside his head, curtesy to his grandfather.

"Boy! All that damn language in my house! You best cut it out and be presentable in front of all them white people today. Now come on boy, it's time to leave."

They all walked out and saw Tom standing outside.

"Hey daddy!" Jazmine skipped over to him and gave him a big hug.

"Hey princess. How's you and little bean doing?" He asked.

Jazmine giggled. "We're doing fine but little bean? That's a weird nickname."

"Well I need to call the baby something."

"Fine, you can call them bean for now."

"No no no. Forever now." Tom smiled making Jazmine smile too.

"Dammit Tom we're going to be late! Get your ass in the car and let's go!" Grandad shouted as he got into the passenger seat.

"Robert, I am talking to my daughter." Tom began to reply as he got in too.

"I am not sitting in the middle." Riley screwed his eyebrow together.

"I don't want to sit next to you anyway." Huey said as he waited for Jazmine to get in first.

"Whatever."


It didn't take long for them to arrive and they were met with Farrah, their friends and Caesar's parents.

"Hello guys. You ready?" Farrah gave them all reassuring smiles.

"As ready as I'll ever be." Jazmine sighed as she held onto her bump.

Tom placed a hand on her shoulder. "Now don't you worry Jazmine. Farrah is good at what she does and this is a straight forward case. Plus, we're all here for you."

Jazmine looked around. "Except mom..."

Ever since the divorce was finalised, Jazmine has barely heard a word from her mother. On Facebook, she was living her best, divorced life. Splashing money on fancy things and trips while her daughter sat at home, 17 and pregnant. She needed her mom more than ever now, she needed someone who understood what she was going through but instead, she was surrounded by males. Her father, grandad, Riley and Huey. She had her girls but she didn't live with them. Jazmine had to admit it was hard at time but Huey always made sure she felt comfortable and that the other Freeman's in the household respected Jazmine's need of space and other things.

"I know sweetie... I reached out to her but I haven't heard anything back." Tom frowned.

Jazmine decided to not mop over it now and lifted her head up high. "We shouldn't worry about that now. I have everyone else here. Let's go."

"That's my girl." Cindy smirked.

They began to make their way inside but was stopped by a few reports.

"Hey, you're them kids that got in the accident with the officer. Do you think he's truly at fault?" One of the annoying reports asked.

"Whatchu say-" Riley began to say but Farrah turned him back around.

"Keep moving and don't give eye contact." She told the group who nodded and did as she said. She turned to the reporters. "What everyone should be concereted about is if he's innocent because we all know officer Sam Logan is not. He nearly killed these children and will be brought to justice for what he has done. It doesn't matter if he was an officer or not, he chose to drink and get behind the wheel and if I am not mistaken, that is a criminal offence. No further questions." She turned and strutted to catch up to the rest of the group leaving the reports begging for more.

"Damn you make being a lawyer sound fun. The way you handled them was nice." Royalty nodded, smiling for the first time in a long time.

Farrah smiled. "Trust me it's easier than you think. My trick is sprinkling some of my black girl magic to make have no choice but to listen to you."

"Hm. Mi 'ear that still."

The continued their way inside, going through the meet detectors and finding their court room.

"I always thought the next time I was in a court room was when I started college... or because of Riley's dumb ass." Huey commented as they took their seats.

"Hey! That shit ain't fair. Grandad, tell Huey." Riley frowned.

"Boy hush. You know he's right." Was the reply he got making his frown deepen.

Hiro laughed. "He has a point."

"Nigga your input wasn't need." Riley screwed his eyebrows together.

"But I did it anyway."

"You know I have every right to fuck you up right here and right now-"

"Riley." Huey harshly said his name. "Just chill. I know your ass is nervous but stop getting on people's nerves."

Royalty held onto his hand and gave him a reassuring smile. "It's going to be fine Reezy."

Riley straightened up himself. "I know."

They heard the door open and they became face to face with the officer responsible for them being there. Sam Logan. He looked just the same as when they first encountered him. Behind him was a woman and two children who they guess were his family. From the moment he entered the room, the whole group of family and friends glared at the man who saw this and fixed his tie uncomfortably.

"Miss Campbell, I see you're doing another pointless case." The smug lawyer said.

"Hello to you to Mr Walker and no this is not pointless. Your client just needs to own up to his crime."

"He wasn't at fault, you know that."

Farrah gave him a side eye.

"All rise."

"We'll see about that." Was the last thing she said as the judge walked in.

"You may all be seated." The judge began to look at the paper work before looking up. "Let's get started shall we."


20 minutes later

"I would like to call Huey Freeman to the stand." Farrah Campbell stood and said.

The two lawyers had started their opening statement and it already seemed tense. Sam's lawyer seemed very arrogant and seemed like every other rich, white lawyer to exist which was making them all annoyed.

"Would you like to tell the court how old you are Huey?" Farrah started.

"18."

"When did you start driving?"

"When I turned 16."

"That's right, the same week of your 16th birthday, you passed your driving test with flying colours so you would say you're a safe driver."

"Objection! Leading."

"I'll rephrase it. Are you a safe driver Huey?"

Huey nodded. "Always. Especially when other people are in the car."

"Ok. Can you talk the court through what happened that night?"

"We were at Cindy's when I decided I wanted to get something to eat so Jazmine, Riley and Royalty followed me. We hadn't been driving long before we reached the road where the accident happened. Like all roads, I checked before continuing straight. I saw the car lights coming but I thought it would slow down so I drove out. By the time I noticed, it was too late and next thing I know, I am lying upside down in my car with blood and glass everywhere." Huey explained the event while everyone in the room sat silently, listening to what he had to say.

"Thank you Huey. I would like you all to look at the first piece of evidence. Exhibit A." Farrah put a picture of the outside of Huey's car on the screen, causing there to be low murmurs. They seemed to be shocked at how badly damaged the car was and all four victims survived. "This is the exterior damage to Huey Freeman's vehicle that Mr Logan had caused with his careless driving. As you can see the impact of his car had completely imprinted itself in Huey's causing the metal and glass to fly everywhere. All I can say is by the grace of God, not one of these teenagers died but can you explain to the court the injured you sustained Huey."

"I broke my rib which caused it to puncture my lung. I didn't realise it at first because I was worried about getting the girls out but when the ambulance came I passed out. I was in and out after that. I just remember choking on my own blood at one point but I'm fine now." Huey described. The whole time he was speaking he would take glances at Jazmine who seemed to be getting emotional but she was trying to be strong. He could the determination on her face and he was proud to see it.

"Even with an injury that could have easily killed you, your medical reports demonstrates your amazing strength. No further questions."

Farrah went to take her seat as Mr Walker stood up.

"So, you say you're a safe driver."

"Yes."

"Are you sure?"

"Objection. Answered."

"My apologies." Mr Walker smiled at Farrah before turning back to Huey. "So you said that you saw the car coming but you still decided to drive forward. Why is that?"

"The car was at a safe distance for me to drive. Even if he got closer quicker, he should have stopped before driving forward." Huey answered with a deep scowl on his face.

"Why didn't you stop and let my client pass?"

Huey looked between Sam and the lawyer. "Because why would I wait when the road was clear and I had more than enough time to get across if he was going the speed limit."

Huey and the lawyer stared off at each other, seeing who would break first but everyone knew it wasn't going to be Huey.

Mr Walker cleared his throat. "No further questions."

The judge nodded. "Mr Freeman you may step down."

The whole time Huey walked back to his seat, he did not break eye contact once which made Sam shift uncomfortably in his seat.

"I would like to call to the stand Riley Freeman." Farrah announced to the court. "Riley can you tell the court what position you was in when the accident occurred."

"Yeah. I was behind Jazmine who was in the passenger seat. Which is why you could say I got lucky with just a broken hand. Even though I've missing practice, which I don't like." Riley frowned.

"That's right. You've been MVP of your team for two years straight. Promising career in the NBA."

Riley smirked. "You got that right."

"But because of Mr Logan's careless driving, you've broken a bone and now have to regain your strength once the case is off. How do you feel about that?" Farrah asked.

Riley took a deep breath, reminding himself that he can't curse. "Mad. I mean we're all sitting up here injured when that ni- man right there could just get up and walk away as if it was nothing. Meanwhile, my people was lying in a hospital bed fighting for their life."

Farrah turned to the jurors. "You see. These are good children who look out for each other and this man," She pointed to Sam, "should be held accountable for his actions. No further questions."

"Mr Walker, do you have any questions?" The judged asked.

Mr Walker stood. "No your honour."

"You may step down young man."

Riley slightly nodded before going to his seat.

"The prosecution calls Jazmine DuBois to the stand." Farrah said. "Would you tell the court your point of view of the crash?"

Jazmine nodded. "We were driving when Royalty suggested we get burger king but Huey said no because it was already so late. We should have really been home but we just wanted to get a quick something and go back to Cindy's since it was a school night. I was looking at Huey drive when I noticed bright lights coming towards us. I didn't realise how close it became. It was all so quick. I-" Jazmine let out a shaky breath as the memories flooded her mind. She hasn't fully thought about that moment and now it was a bit overwhelming but she was going to stay strong.

"Take your time Jazmine." Farrah comforted as she looked Jazmine deep into her eyes. Weirdly enough, Farrah's soft eyes put Jazmine at ease.

Jazmine squeeze her eyes shut and stopped the tears from forming, she opened them and Huey could see the determination radiating off her.

"I think to myself that I should have said something sooner but I couldn't, there was no time to even get a word out. Even now the moment just keeps playing in my head..."

Farrah smiled softly. "Thank you Jazmine." She went and took a seat as Sam's lawyer walked over to her.

"You say you saw the car coming, correct?"

"Yes."

"So why didn't you tell him the car was coming?" He questioned.

Jazmine raised an eyebrow, defiantly a habit she picked up from Huey. "Because I couldn't get it out fast enough-"

"But you saw the car," he harshly cut her off, "and failed to be a second pair of eyes that could have saved you all from this moment."

"It happened too quick."

"But it still could have been prevented if you had just said 'stop!' but you didn't." He smirked. "Maybe if this didn't happen, you wouldn't have found out you was pregnant now would you Miss DuBois?"

"Objection!" Farrah called out as she saw Jazmine's mouth drop open.

"Mr Walker." The judge said in a warning tone.

"No further question for the witness your honour."

"Miss DuBois you may step down."

Jazmine nodded lightly before doing so. She had a feeling that her pregnancy would be brought up but not like that. It made her feel sick that he really tried to blame her for the accident.

"I would like to call my final witness, Royalty Caesar, to the stand please."

Royalty walked slowly up to the witness stand. She knew Mr Walker was going to get onto her because she remembered the least amount of information.

"Can you recall what you do remember for us please Royalty?" Farrah asked.

She nodded. "At first I didn't remember anything but after a couple days, I started to remember bits... like everyone said, it happened to fast. We were driving and joking around, then I felt a huge blow to my side and just being thrown everywhere. I could slightly here Riley calling my name and crying but I blacked out after that. Next thing I know, I wake up to the sound of my brothers and parents." She told tearfully. She was getting a headache just thinking about it.

Farrah smiled softly before addressing the court. "As you can hear, none of these children were at fault. They were just doing what any other teenager would do. Now if you would all turn and look at the type of injuries Sam Logan caused." Farrah pressed a button on a remote and there popped up four images of Jazmine. "Bruising and cut on her head as well as a concussion. A large bruise on her abdomen which could have easily killed her baby but was lucky enough that the baby was still healthy." Next was Riley arm. "Broken bone that was close enough to break skin." Huey was the next slide. "His injuries were mostly internal but you can still see the deep bruising he has on his chest because of the broken rib. Finally, we have Royalty whose injury is the reason why she has problems recalling the event." The last slide showed her lying in the hospital bed hooked up to different machines and her own cuts and bruises. "She had to be put into a medically induced coma because of the life-threatening swelling on her brain... members of the jury. I want you to remember what this man, Sam Logan, caused these kids to go through. He broke more than one bone, caused more than one head injury and in the process, nearly caused the death of a new life before it was even known. I hope you all heard closely to the witnesses and see that they are completely innocent in all of this... no further questions."

Farrah went back to her desk but Royalty wasn't paying attention, she was just staring at the picture on the screen, much like Jazmine was when her own came up. They were shocked out how bad they all looked. They were better now but it really was no joke now, it was all real and all serious. They all could have died that day.

Mr Walker stood and buttoned up his blazer. "You said that you don't remember what happened that day, is that correct?"

"I don't remember much that day."

"Then how can we take your word that any of the things you just said today is true? Maybe you all planned out your story with your friends and decided to just copy what they said." Mr Walker accused.

Royalty's eyes turned to slits as her mixed eyes stared deep into his soul.

"We have no reason to. We all know the truth about what happened then."

"Do we?" Mr Walker raised an eyebrow. He turned to the court. "We all know teenagers lie to get their way-"

"Objection! Relevance?" Farrah shot up.

"Moving on Mr Walker." The judge said. Farrah let out a silent breath, she was glad that the judge seemed to be on her side in this case.

"Did you see my client's car coming your way?"

Royalty shook her head. "No."

"But he hit your side... hm. No further questions." Sam's lawyer walked back to his desk and started whispering to his client.

"You can step down now Miss Caesar." The judge told her so she did.

"Do you think we're going to win?" Jazmine asked uncertainly to Huey next to her.

"Of course." He simply answered.

She looked at him strange. "How do you know that?"

He took a quick glance at her. "Because it's a simple case... if we don't, well let's just say I may not be a retired domestic terrorist anymore."

Jazmine's eyes grew wide. "You can't say that in court Huey!" She whispered-yelled while he just smirked at her. "I'll deal with you later, it's his turn now."

"Mr Logan, can you please tell the court what you do for a living?"

"Yes. I am a police officer."

"A police officer... and has been one for over 15 years. He's been out in the field, risking his life to make sure our lives are safe every day of his life. He is loved by his team and by the community."

"That's right. I was born and raised in Woodcrest which is why I became a policeman to protect the people here. In the recent years, more people have moved here and the crime rate has increased alongside it. I just want everyone to be safe." Sam turned to the jury looking for sympathy and sadly, it looked like they were eating it up.

"He's talking about niggas." Riley whispered.

"Boy hush." Grandad scowled him. Royalty would have laughed but she still had them images stuck in her head.

"That's right. Now talk us through that night for the jury to get an understanding about what happened from your point of view." Mr Walker told him.

"Of course." Sam cleared his throat and glanced over to the jury. "My wife and I have been having some marital problems recently and we have all just been very stressed. We didn't want the kids to find out but they know which breaks my heart that they have to see their parents fighting. Anyway, I decide I should leave to give us some space and got in my car and began to drive. I didn't have a particular destination, I was just planning on driving around to clear my head and calm down. I didn't want to go back home angry so I just drove until I couldn't no more... well, until the crash. I didn't even see them pull out. His car is pitch black and it was quiet dark that night. That's when I accidently hit into them. I didn't mean for any of that to happen, seriously."

Mr Walker looked at the jury. Huey noticed how much he would talk directly to the jury rather than anyone else, it was a strategy to get their attention to whatever bs he was spilling. He knew some people were going to be swayed by his charmed, he just hoped there was enough smart enough people to see through his mess.

"This man has been going through some hard times and all of this is just a little accident. He is deeply sorry about this and shouldn't be punished for what he did. He needs help, counselling is the best solution."

"I am 100% up for that." Sam added, making the other side of the room roll their eyes.

"You see, this is a man who is owning up to his mistake and get the help he needs to better him and his family. He shouldn't be punished, he needs to be helped. How do you feel about this situation Sam?"

"I feel terrible." He looked at the teenagers who were all just glaring at him, making him a bit scared. "I have children myself and I would be upset too so I understand where your anger is coming from. The truth is I need help. I have been very stressed out lately and I own up to my mistakes... I just hope you can forgive me too."

"I hope he chokes on some dick." Cindy said frustratingly.

"I second that." Ming slightly nodded.

"Thank you Mr Logan." Mr Walker smiled. "A man who is truly sorry and owning up to his mistake. Should he really be punished in such ways?" He went back to his seat as Farrah stood. She was ready to grill him.

"Mr Logan, you've said you have been a police officer for over 15 years, is that right?" She started.

"That is correct."

"Then why have you failed to follow the same laws that you are supposed to protect?"

"Excuse me?" Sam looked at her confused.

She shrugged. "You heard me. Jurors, what Mr Walker failed to inform you was that during the time of the accident, your test results showed that you were 4 times over the drinking limit."

"Objection! I do not have this evidence." Mr Walker jumped up.

Low murus travelled around the room.

The judge banged his gravel. "Quiet... approach the bench."

Farrah stopped herself from smirking knowing that Mr Walker had slipped up terribly.

"Is this true Miss Campbell?" The judge asked.

"No your honour. This information was the first to be presented when the case was being built. All parties were aware of this information. I have signatures and people to vouch for me."

The judge turned to the other lawyer. "Do you disagree with this Mr Walker?"

He cleared his throat. "... The information may have slipped from my records."

The judge sighed and shook his head. "I expected better from you Mr Walker. You're very experienced. You may proceed Miss Campbell."

She smiled. "Thank you, your honour." As the two walked back to their spots, she winked at Mr Walker who let out an annoyed breath. She turned back to Sam. "As I was saying. As a police officer you are taught about the drinking limit, correct?"

"Yes." He slightly nodded, knowing where this was going.

"So why did you fail to follow your own understanding of the law? How do you expect citizens to follow the laws when an officer that is supposed to enforce the law is failing to do so himself? And let's not forget that domestic violence call you had to your home only a few weeks ago-"

"That was all just a misunderstanding! My wife and I got into an argument and a few things were thrown so the neighbour called the police. We sorted things out once they saw nobody was extremely hurt. No charges were pressed." Sam interjected.

"Ok... I just wanted to ask, have you ever seen my clients before the accident?" Farrah asked.

He shook his head. "I can't say I have."

"You sure? Because according to my clients, you have encounter them all once before. You stopped Riley and Royalty to 'check' if they were up to no good and you pulled over Jazmine and Huey and asked Huey to step out the car for no reason-"

"Objection! There are no reports of these reports, they are not relevant to this case."

"But it is since my clients have reported it to me and Mr Logan has just lied under oath-"

"Which I was unaware of happening-"

The judge banged the gravel, making the lawyers go silent. "Enough... I will allow the objection since there is no official report and is just going on he said/she said. Move on Miss Campbell."

Mr Walker smirked as he took his seat.

"Ok. Mr Logan, was you drinking that night of the accident?"

"Well-"

"Yes or no Mr Logan?"

"Yes-"

"No further questions." Miss Campbell went to her desk and took her seat.

"Mr Logan you may step down." The judge sighed. "Jurors, it is now up to you to go and deliberate on whether you find this man guilt or not based on the evidence and what you have heard today in court."

"All rise!"


"Man that was a long ass trial." Riley stretched as they sat outside.

"I have no idea how Huey is going to be able to do this every day of his life." Hiro shook his head.

"It's not all bad. Plus, it is very rewarding when you feel justice is survived at the end of the trail." Tom told him.

Caesar snickered. "Knowing Huey, he would talk to them for the whole day in just the opening statement."

Huey shook his head.

"Come on now guys. It's a very long and stressful day, we need to be nice to each other." Jazmine said to them.

"Jazzy don't you worry girl. Everything is going to be fine." Ming reassured her.

"I know but I can't help but to be stressed."

Farrah reached into her bag and pulled out a bottle of water and a snack bar and handed it to Jazmine. "Here. Have this."

Jazmine shook her head. "No, it's yours and you need it after all that hard work you have been doing-"

"Jazmine. I'm fine. I once had a trial that was four hours straight and I survived. You need to eat and drink. We don't want you passing out from dehydration. It's not good for either of you." Farrah placed the items into Jazmine's hands, knowing she wasn't going to take it unless she was physically handing it to her. "Why don't me and the adults leave you allow you all to have a few minutes to yourselves. We won't be far."

They agreed and left the teenagers along as Jazmine began to eat her food.

"Jazzy you know you daddy is fucking miss lawyer girl." Cindy commented making the mixed-race girls mouth drop open before she could drink her water.

"Damn I thought I was the only one who noticed." Royalty laughed.

"What are you talking about?" Jazmine asked genuinely confused.

"How can you not see it Jazmine? Its right in front of you." Hiro laughed too.

"Anyone can see what's happening between them." Ming agreed with her boyfriend.

Jazmine turned to her own boyfriend. "Huey?"

He shrugged. "I knew from the moment I first met her."

"How?"

"Sexual tension." Caesar said.

"Closeness." Cindy pointed out.

"Laughing at things that are defiantly not funny." Ming smirked.

"The freaky ass eye contact." Riley added.

"See, for Reezy's dumbass to notice just mean you been slacking baby girl." Royalty joked.

Riley looked offended. "Oh so you just gonna throw a nigga under the bus and shit."

"You know I love you, stop being a little bitch baby." She kissed him on the cheek.

"Weirdo..."

"Anyway... I can't believe I haven't noticed all this." Jazmine said.

"He's you dad. That's normal for you to see but we all noticed it and its weird." Huey told her.

"But... he just got a divorce, I mean, mom just left, how can he move on so quickly?" Jazmine asked out loud.

"You're asking the wrong person Jazmine."

She sighed and leaned her head on his shoulder. "This day needs to end."


An hour later

"The jurors are back!"

The group of family and friends stood as the bailiff came out to get them. As they went to walk back inside, the two lawyers stopped to talk to each other.

"Well it was very interesting to work with you Miss Campbell. I would love to work against you again in the future." He smirked.

She smirked right back at him. "Fine by me. I needed some light cases to relive my stress."

"Ohhh burn." Riley said from the back.

"Anyway, if you will excuse me, I would like to hear the words guilty coming from that court room next." She turned and strutted into the court room with everyone following behind with their heads held high.

Sam looked nervously at his lawyer. "There no way I am actually going to jail, am I?"

Mr Walker snorted. "There is no way they will find you guilty. Trust me."

"We find the defendant, Mr Sam Logan, guilty."

"What?!"

"Yeesssssiiirrrrrr."

"Justice for real niggas."

"About damn time."

"Order! Order!" The judge slammed the hammer down to get everyone to settle down. "Thank you to the members of the jury for your hard work today. Mr Sam Logan, you may be held in contempt until sentencing."

"No! Please! I said I'm sorry!" Sam cried as he got handcuffed.

"We know but you still need some type of punishment for the crime you committed." The judge said to him with a straight face.

"You did it! Thank you Farrah." Tom smiled and went to hug her until they realised where they were. "Right." He nervously laughed as he shook her hand.

"You see it now?" Huey whispered in Jazmine's ear.

She swatted him away. "Yes now go away." As she watched the two interact, she thought of an idea.

"Thank you so much Miss Campbell. My niece can finally sleep at night knowing the man who nearly killed her and her friends is put away." Tony thanked her.

"Uncle Tonnnyyyy." Royalty whined.

Farrah laughed. "It's my job and if he got off, I would be causing a riot. Trust me, I know how to."

"I told you guys that she was very good at what she does." Tom grinned. "Now why don't you all go to that diner across the street while we handle the boring stuff. We'll let you know what happens next."

"Only if your ass is paying." Grandad raised his eyes.

Tom sighed. "Ok I will pay-"

"Shoooot that's all I need to hear." Grandad was already by the door, ready to order up a storm. "Damn I'm hungry. Got my old ass sitting in them hard ass benches for hours. I don't need this shit."

Huey shocked his head. "I don't understand how he is still the same."

"That's grandad for you." Jazmine giggled as she grabbed onto his hand and made their way outside too. "I am starving." She felt a kick. "And this little one agrees."

"I think they got beef with you for not doing nothing for hours." Cindy joked.

Jazmine felt a kick. "Why you gotta say that? Now they are going to be kicking for ages now."

"Nephew got them karate chop moves just like his daddy." Royalty joked.

"I hate you all." Jazmine shook her head as everyone just laughed at her.


Another hour later

"What?!"

"Is that it?"

"Fucking white privilege."

"This some bullshit!"

"I know I know. I'm just as upset as you all." Tom tried to calm down the group.

"After all they have been through all he gets is paying half the damages to Huey's car, prison for 6 months and another 6 months on house arrest?" Keisha said in frustration.

"And therapy?" Caesar added.

Farrah sighed. "His lawyer is a sticky one. He hates losing and he got his way with the sentence and managed to get more than half the sentence shaved off."

"Why does it still feel like we lost?" Hiro questioned.

"We did not lose today. We won. We took the case to court and won. The sentence may not be the one we wanted be it is still something." She tried to explain.

"Not good enough." Huey crossed his arm.

"What Huey is trying to say is thank you." Jazmine glared at Huey before smiling sweetly at Farrah. "You did what you needed to do when you didn't have to and all for free might I add. We appreciate it all and to show how much we appreciate it, I would like to invite you to my birthday slash gender reveal."

Everyone looked at her shocked.

"It really is no problem Jazmine. I was just doing my job-"

"I know that but I still want you to come and I'm sure dad would want you there." Jazmine grinned.

Tom began to choke on his drink while everyone watched intensely.

"Well, is she right Thomas?" Farrah crossed her arms with an amused smile on her face.

'Hm full name in banta... they're right, my dad is fucking her. I don't blame him, she's beautiful and very smart.' Jazmine thought but zoned back in once she realised her father was struggling to speak.

"I- um- you see- it's up to you- I mean- I don't want to force you- I, um-" Tom stuttered.

"Nigga just say what you wanna say." Riley said annoyed.

Grandad slapped the back of his head.

"Ow grandad! Why you gotta hit a nigga for?"

"Because you so damn nosy." Grandad told him before diving back into his free food.

Huey rubbed his forehead. "I can't believe you voluntarily moved in with them."

Jazmine looked at him strange. "You were really going to move in with me and daddy?"

Huey was silent for a few seconds, contemplating the idea and he didn't like it. "You know you're right."

Everyone laughed at the young couple until Jazmine remembered Farrah didn't answer her question.

"Miss Campbell you still haven't answered my question." She smiled.

"Please call me Farrah and yes I will come."

Jazmine clapped her hands together. "I cannot wait for this." For the next 20 minutes, the females excitedly talked about the plans for the gender reveal while the males were off in their own conversation. They didn't want to be involved in any party planning so decided to excuse themselves out.

It was a nice peaceful way to end their week after stressing over the trial that had ended. It wasn't the exact ending they would have liked but we can't win it all. Now, they were just happy to have each other and move on from this bump in the road and focus on a different type of bump, which they were all excited for.


1 month later

"ITS MY BIRTHDAY!"

"Jazmine, your birthday was Thursday."

"BUT ITS MY BIRTHDAY WEEKEND. You knew this was going to happen Huey." Jazmine giggled as she creamed her body.

Huey had just come out the shower and Jazmine was still not dressed.

"How are you still not dressed?"

"Because if you haven't realised, I am now 23 weeks and shit is crazy. This one is taking up more room in the inn so I am taking my time to do tasks."

"Ok I understand that but I managed to shower and come out and you only have your underwear on... not that I am complaining but still." Huey smirked as Jazmine rolled her eyes.

"I look like a potato Huey. Stop lying." Jazmine looked at him through the long lashes she had put on.

"I never lie. You know that."

It's true. Huey always spoke his mind no matter what the outcome would be. He was just a straight-talking person.

"Ay Mariah! People are pulling up to your house!" They heard Riley knock on the door.

"Ok! Give us 10 minutes!" She shouted back.

"Make it 30." Huey corrected.

"Damn girl hurry up. I ain't got time to do that dumb white people smile with your mama side." Riley kissed his teeth and walked out the house to the other side of the street.

"You see. We could have been there by now."

Jazmine squinted her eyes together. "Why are you so bothered? You hate parties."

"I always hate being late."

Jazmine rolled her eyes. "It's across the street! It's not going to kill you if you're a bit late. The centre of attention needs a grand entrance anyway."

"The party started an hour ago Jazmine."

"You know what, you can be quiet because your still in a towel."

Huey smirked as an idea popped in his head. "Alright."

Next thing Jazmine knew, she was staring at one of her favourite body parts on Huey which she hasn't felt in weeks. He throws the towel at her face making her swat it away.

"I hate you." She mumbled.

Huey walked over to her and lifted her head. "I know you don't." He lightly kissed her lips before walking past her and smacking her behind, making her shriek in surprise. "Get dressed."

She crossed her arms in annoyance as she felt her whole body turn red. "Why you gotta tease me like that?"

"Because it's fun. Plus, I ain't going to be able to touch you the same for at least another 6 months so." He shrugged.

"Whatever. I hate you."

"Whatever you say Jazmine."

"I do. I really hate you."

"Ok."

"Like, really really. Really really hate you."

"Sure you do."

"Like... a lot."

Huey shook his head. She was not going to let go of this.


30 minutes later

"She's here! Everyone get ready!" Ming screamed as she ran to the backyard of Tom's house.

"I don't trust you Riley." Huey said as he allowed his brother to guide him blindfolded to the back.

"Nigga just turn on your ninja senses if you don't trust me."

"They don't turn off."

"Huey trust your brother for once." Jazmine scowled him.

"Yeah. Trust my poor boyfriend." Royalty said as she had Jazmine arms linked around hers.

Huey decided to change the subject. "Tom's house is not that big, why are we not by the backdoor yet."

"You so damn annoying. Shit. Here we are." Riley cussed.

They heard the door open and they knew they had stepped outside.

"I'm going to take your blind folds off but keep your eyes closed. Promise?" Royalty asked.

"Yes!" Jazmine was grinning ear to ear. She was bubbling with eagerness.

Royalty began to count down excitedly as everyone else got ready. "3... 2...1 open!"

"Happy Birthday Jazmine!" Everyone shouted and cheered.

Jazmine's eyes dropped open and she already began to tear up. It was everything she wanted and more.

Behind her was her name spelt out in balloons and the numbers 18 next to it. Around the backyard was different balloons that were pink, blue or white. The tables were neatly set out with the same colour scheme everywhere as well as a matching snack table. They even had a back drop for taking pictures which she knew she was going to take full advantage of and Hiro had set up his DJ booth. What she loved the most was that she saw people fitting with the theme. Not one person looked out of place.

She tried to hold back her tears but she knew that was not going to work.

"Awww." Everyone began to say.

"I love it so much!" She used the tissue Cindy had on deck. "You mixed my 18th and gender reveal together so perfectly. What do you think Huey?"

Huey looked around and slightly nodded. "Impressive."

"Thank you all for coming!" Jazmine grinned, making the crowed cheer and clap for her.

"Make some noise for my home girl Jazzy! Happy birthday girl! You looking radiant as ever, even my boy Huey looking like a good baby daddy by her side." Hiro said on the microphone and everyone clapped and laughed in agreement while Huey just rolled his eyes.

Huey wore a baby blue shirt that had pink cuffs and collar with white jeans and high-top Jordan's to go with it. Jazmine decided to wear a long, flowing, long sleeve, white dress that was off the shoulder. She wore a pink sash that said 'Birthday Girl' on it so it matched her predicated gender and for her birthday.

"Do a little twirl for us!" Hiro said on the mic so she did. When she stopped and placed a hand on her stomach, that's when she noticed the professional photographer taking pictures.

'Oh they going allll out. I am so in love right now!' Jazmine couldn't stop grinning.

"I can't believe my baby is 18." Tom began to tear up.

"Aww daddy you're going to make me cry again." Jazmine pouted as she pulled her father into a tight hug. In such a short time, the two have become extremely closer especially with Sarah suddenly being so absent in Jazmine's life.

"You know I am an emotional person Jazmine."

"Come on guys, dry them tears." Ming told them.

"Yeah. It's a time to celebrate and one of the games to kick start the day is a hunt. Throughout the party, there are mini baby bottles and pacifiers hidden and you have to find as many as you can. The winner will get a prize at the end of the party." Hiro explained making everyone whisper in excitement.

"We all know I am going to win." Riley smirked.

"Riley you can't participate since you help us hide everything dummy." Cindy slapped him upside the head.

"Ow! Damn white girl, relax with the violence."

Caesar decided to step in since everyone was waiting for what's next. "Come on guys, lets parrtttyyyy!" Caesar cheered, making everyone follow him.

She giggled but cheered too. "Ok. Let's parrttyy!"


"Damn did we really invite so many people?" Jazmine asked as she took a deep breath. They have been doing none stop meet and greets since they arrived.

"You invited all these people Jazmine and don't get too comfy. The Freemans are coming." Huey took his own deep breath, really hoping they did not act like their normal crazy selves.

"Daaammmmnnnnn Huey! Those pictures do not do justice."

"I don't blame you for making her your baby mama. Smart move cuz. Smart move."

"Well helllooo Jazmine. If you're tired of my baby cousin here, I will show you what a real man is. You won't even have to change the baby's last name."

Jazmine's mouth dropped open but then she couldn't help but to burst out in laughter while Huey rubbed his temple.

"Hey guys." She giggled.

"Huey you're such a shit host. Introduce us to the woman carrying my baby cousin." One of the cousins said.

Huey sighed, not really wanting to. "Jazmine, this is Tyrone, Cairo and Joel."

"It's so nice to meet you guys! I hope Woodcrest is treating you well."

Cairo snorted. "More like Whitecrest for real. Where the niggas at man?"

"You're so stupid Cairo." Joel shook his head. "You have a lovely home Jazmine."

"Aww thank you. You're so sweet but I live with the Freeman's now." She smiled.

Tyrone lifted an eyebrow making Jazmine think of how close he looked like Huey. "So you mean to tell me this big mansion is just empty?"

"I mean... it isn't a mansiooon."

"Jazmine. Issa mansion." Huey said with a straight face.

"Yeah. I mean, seeing a house this big in the hood is sure to get robbed. Not like we gonna rob it or anything. We are raised better than that." Cairo said cheekily.

Jazmine laughed. "You guys are funny. How did all of you and Huey grow up together?" She joked.

"I wonder the same thing all the time Jazmine." Tyrone winked, making them all laugh while Huey just looked even more annoyed.

The atmosphere suddenly changed when they heard someone clear their throats behind the young couple. They turned to see no other than Cookie Freeman.

"Hello Huey."

"Hello Aunt Cookie."

"Ohhh grandma gonna killll yooouuuu." Cairo snickered as they all began to tip toe away.

"If I haven't said I hate you already, I hate you. Every. Single. One. Of you." Huey glared at them but all they did was laugh and skip away.

"Huey, would you mind introducing me and this young lady?" Aunt Cookie's voice made him turn back to her.

"Right. Aunt Cookie, this is my girlfriend and mother of my child, Jazmine DuBois. Jazmine, this is my great aunt and grandad's sister, Cookie Freeman."

Jazmine smiled sweetly and stuck out her hand. "It's nice to finally meet you Ms Freeman."

Cookie looked Jazmine up and down which instantly made her smile drop from her face. What was wrong was her? Did she think she was too ugly for Huey? Did she look fat? Was her make up not right? Did she think she was a whore?

"We don't do handshakes in this family. Come here."

Suddenly, Jazmine was pulled into a bone crushing hug by Cookie, making her eyes nearly pop out of her socket.

"Wow- um." Jazmine, for the first time in a long time, had nothing to say.

Aunt Cookie pulled away and saw the shocked faces. "What? You think I would still be mad? You are both mature enough and made your choice. You are bringing a blessing into this world and I know you both will raise a strong child together."

"Thank you Ms-"

"Umhm. No. You're family now. Aunt Cookie it is." The large, older woman interrupted Jazmine.

"Ok Aunt Cookie. Well, I hope you enjoy yourself and if you need anything, just let me know." Jazmine smiled.

"I will do honey." Cookie saw her brother chatting to some of the women there. "Oh Lord, Robert! Get away from that young lady."

Jazmine was left laughing while Huey shook his head. "That's your family."

"Our family now." Huey slipped out.

Jazmine looked up at him with a big smile. "Aww you said ooouuurrr. That's so cute." Jazmine puckered her lips so Huey gave her the kiss she was waiting for and they saw a flash.

They pulled away and Huey sighed. "This is going to be annoying."

"Just think, the pictures are going to look great. Oh, Mr William is coming over with his adorable daughter! Wait, Farrah?" She was confused when she saw the two come over together and they looked as if they have known each other for years.

"It's nice to see you both but together we did not expect."

Mr Williams smiled. "You already know Farrah, who just happened to always be my step sister. Which is why we have different last names."

"Ok. That makes a lot of sense but you knew all this time and didn't say anything?"

Farrah smiled. "We didn't see a need to. Andre knew I know Tom and I knew he knows you all but we don't really like talking about our work."

Jazmine eyes grew wide. "You didn't need to?! That would have been a good information to have."

"Jazmine, you don't need to know everything about your teacher and lawyers outside life." Huey told her.

"Ok but stttillll." She whined but then turned her attention to the baby in her teachers' hand. "I'm guessing this is little Victoria. Hey baby." Jazmine smiled and waved at the baby.

Andre smiled. "Yup the one and only. You wanna hold her?"

Jazmine's face lit up. "Really?!"

"Sure." He handed his daughter over to Jazmine who gasped silently as she got a hold of the chubby baby.

"She's so cuuuuutttteeeee." Jazmine turned to Huey with a pout. "We need to have a girl."

Huey took a deep breath. "I mean one day, just not now." He ended with a smirk.

Jazmine rolled her eyes, tickled Victoria before handing her back to her father. "She's so adorable. Seriously."

Andre smiled as he got his daughter back. "Thanks, she looks like her mother."

"I can actually see it. Well, I hope you enjoy the party. I will see you later."

With that, the young couple was left alone for the first time in a long time.

"You going to have fun today?" Jazmine asked. Huey just shrugged. She pulled on his arm to make him look at her and rested her hand on his cheek. As they held each other's gaze, they felt a flash but didn't care. "Please, have some fun today. It's my birthday and we're here to celebrate part one of our baby together. Just try and relax."

"...Fine. I will try."

Huey thought about it for a second but couldn't say no to her large, green eyes so he rested his hand on her stomach and gave her a kiss, making another flash go off. "Ok."

Jazmine grinned. "Great! Let's have some ffunnn." She spun around and went off to the girls leaving Huey shaking his head.

"You know you should wear pink more often, it suits you. It makes your skin look so soft." Caesar joked as he went over to the DJ booth.

"Nigga you gay." The one and only Riley Freeman said.

Hiro shook his head. "You could be nicer. It is his baby's party."

"So?"

"Be nice."

Riley kissed his name. "Man whatever. All this pink is making a niggas head hurt and all this girly shit too."

"I never thought I would hear the day Mr Reezy himself does not want to be at a party." Caesar dramatically gasped.

"I can't get high, I can't get drunk. This is not a party." He complained.

"You're cast just came off, you don't need to be so active yet."

"This is the perfect time to be active."

"Riley. Shut the fuck up for a second. Relax." Huey told his brother.

Riley was about to get angry but stopped himself. "Damn. Mchater telling me to relax. What has the world come to?"

Caesar smirked. "One where he is now a teen dad."

They all laughed while Huey rolled his eyes. "Let's just get this over with."


"Ok so Jazmine, we have here an Old Wives tale game we're going to play to see if it matches up with what your gender might be." Cindy smirked.

"I can't believe you all believe in this." Huey shook his head.

Jazmine lightly back handed him in the chest. "Huueeyy. It's just a game baby." She held onto his hand and turned to her friends.

"Ok so the first question is: do you have morning sickness?" Cindy asked.

"No." Jazmine shook her head. It was one of the reasons she had no idea she was even pregnant. She may sound naïve but she thought you had to have morning sickness when you got pregnant.

"Has your cravings been sweet or salty foods?" Ming asked the next question.

"Sweet." Huey answered for her.

"Sleeping on your right or left side?"

"Right."

"Has your heart rate been above or below 140?" Ming asked.

"Below."

"Any heartburn?"

"Nope."

"Complex bad or glowing- wait, I can answer that. Glooowwiinngg." Royalty smiled, making people laugh.

"Baby bump high or low?"

Jazmine looked down for a second. "Well it has slowly started to drop."

"Any headaches?"

Jazmine shook her head.

"Has been clumsy or graceful?" Cindy asked out loud.

Riley laughed. "Mariah always been clumsy. She never changed."

Everyone else laughed alone with him.

"Ha ha ha. Very funny." Jazmine rolled her eyes and her cheeks started to burn.

Ming decided to answer the next question since she knew Jazmine wouldn't know. "And the last question is what the Chinese calendar say but I know the answer for that."

"Ok the results are in." Hiro said dramatically on the microphone. "Drum roll pleassee."

Everyone began to tap their thighs or the table.

"With 6 out of 10... boy wins!"

"Ok now I don't believe it." Jazmine said.

Huey smirked. "Oh, so now you don't want to believe it. Just because you didn't get your own way."

"Don't worry darling, it can still be a girl." Tom tried to reassure his daughter.

Jazmine rubbed her stomach. "Maybe but let's move onto the next game." She clapped her hands excitedly.

"We're going to do a race." Cindy smirked. "We're going to split into two teams, team boy and team girl. You have to stuff your stomach with a balloon and go to each station. First you have to stack the baby bricks, then you have to put the diaper and a onesie on the doll and finally you have to down the water that is in mini baby bottles. If the balloon burst, you have to go back and get another one, starting all over again."

"Maann why a nigga gotta be pregnant?" Riley complained.

"Because you have to feel how Jazmine is currently feeling but I guess you not up for the challenge." Royalty smirked and crossed her arms, knowing she got Riley where she wanted.

He screwed his eyebrows together. "A nigga ain't no punk... team girl motherfuckers." He said seriously as he walked over to where the lines where going to start. When no one else moved, he opened his arms to them. "Well come on! Let's get this done."

Caesar went over to the team boy line with Huey and Jazmine went over to the team girl line. Joel and Cairo joined Jazmine while Tyrone joined Huey and everyone else joined behind them.

"The parents will be the captain of the teams but won't race since we don't want Jazzy girl getting hurt." Royalty said as she stood by one of the stations to make sure they did each part right. "Team boy are you ready?!"

"Yeah!" The team boy shouted.

"Team girl are you ready?!" Cindy shouted to them.

"Yes!" They answered back.

Ming started to count down. "3... 2... 1... go!"

Riley and Caesar took off, doing their best to not burst the balloon and do each task.

"I haven't changed no fucking diaper." Riley complained as he struggled.

Caesar laughed out loud. "Yeah you're not beating me. I got siblings."


"Come on Tom with your bitch ass! Hurry up!" Riley screamed as they watched Tom down the last bottle of water against Farrah.

"You can do this lawyer lady! Win this too!" Caesar encouraged.

Tom finished the bottle and waddled back to the finish line, just before Farrah.

"Team girl wins!" Hiro announced on the mic.

"Yaaay! Team girl! Team girl!" Jazmine jumped up and down but instantly regretted it and stopped. "Woah. I'm out of breath."

They all walked back over to the DJ booth to see what was going to happen next.

Cindy took the microphone. "I think we have waited long enough. Does everyone want to find out the gender of the new baby Freeman?"

Everyone still stood in their two lines as Royalty got a board that had nine black balloons on there.

"If you didn't know, Huey is a ninja so he will do the job of throwing a knife at each balloon. One balloon has pink or blue paint inside to represent the gender while the other ones just has white paint in it. It is Huey's job to hit the right balloon to find out if it's a boy or girl." Ming explained.

"Well I know it's a girl." Cairo smiled.

"Nah it's going to be a boy." Tyrone pushed his cousin.

"Why don't we just wish for a healthy baby alright." Tom told the crowd and everyone nodded.

"Daddy is right but let's do thhiiiss!" Jazmine shook Huey in excitement.

Ming came up to Huey and handed him 5 of his ninja stars.

Huey raised an eyebrow. "Did you steal this from my room?"

"I got it since I knew your ass wouldn't give it up if I asked." Riley told him.

"That's because I don't trust you with sharp objects and you would probably go around showing it off and hurt somebody."

"Nigga why you lying on my name for?" Riley narrowed his eyes at his brother.

Huey shook his head. "Let's just do this now."

Royalty set up the board far enough so nobody got hurt. People pulled out their phones ready to record.

"You can do this baby." Jazmine whispered to him.

Huey smirked. "Why would you doubt me?"

Riley grew impatient. "Nigga we are waiting."

Huey glared at his brother but couldn't help but feel some type of happiness that his brother was just as excited for the new addiction as he was. Yeah... he was excited.

Smirking, Huey picked the first star. "Stand back." He told Jazmine and she did, even though she wanted to hold onto him tight in this special moment.

He hit the one in the middle.

"Ohh its white." Caesar said on the mic.

Huey threw one at the top left.

"White again."

"Damn, still white. Come on Huey put your back into it!"

"More white paint. I'm trying to see some colour up in this bitch." Caesar commented which made everyone laugh.

Huey took a deep breath, kind of annoyed about his friends' commentary. He looked at the balloon in the top middle. He knew it was that one.

He aimed the very last star in his hand and let it fly through the air. It burst the balloon and for the first time, the paint that came out wasn't white.

"Ohhh!"

"Woaahhh!"

"Yess!"

"Yesssiirr!"

"I told you!"

"Give me my money baby."

Jazmine jumped up and down in excitement before grabbing onto Huey.

"Huey! Do you see that?!"

He smirked but was in disbelief. "Yeah... I do."

"We're having a boy! You have a son Huey."

He wrapped his arms around her and kissed her, not letting the smirk drop from his face. "We're have a son Jazmine." Everyone around them were taking pictures and videos if the happy colour and the paint splatted all over the designed board.

She began to tear up as she was pulled into a group hug with her friends and boyfriend.

Caesar went up to the DJ booth and grabbed onto the mic. "I knew I was right! My best friends are having a baby boy! I know we can't wait to see him but we got four months to go. Now let's contine to party and celebrate knowing we have a boy on the way and that Jazzy girl is finally 18! Hit it Hiro." After that, Hiro started to play music again while everyone went to say their congratulations to Jazmine who was overwhelmed with emotion.

Jazmine looked around at all her friends and family that was here and all the ones that wasn't, one of them being her mother but she didn't need that type of negative energy right now. She was here to have fun and celebrate. It was her mother's fault for missing out on such an important milestone in Jazmine's life. Pushing the thought to the back of her mind, Jazmine went over to the photographer area to take pictures with her guest. She could finally relax and enjoy this moment now.


Hours later

Jazmine and Huey settled into their bed after a very long day.

Jazmine sighed as she felt her back sink into the bed. "Ugh, I am so glad I am back in bed. My feet and back hurt."

Huey turned to her as settled into the bed next to her. "Why didn't you say anything if you were in pain? We could have ended the party early, everyone would have understood."

Jazmine shook her head. "Everyone was enjoying themselves and so was I. I know you were too. Plus, I was glad to get to know your cousins and aunt Cookie more. They really are something." She giggled tiredly.

"They're so embarrassing."

"No they're not. I loved speaking to them. We all exchanged numbers too so I can keep in touch with them." Jazmine smiled.

"I can't believe you."

She giggled again. "I'm a part of the Freeman clan now. I gotta keep in touch with them. Plus, they seem very happy with a baby boy on the way... your family came all the way from Chicago even though they have never met me before but my own mother didn't even show up."

Huey could hear how stressed out Jazmine was by the sound of her voice. "Don't worry about her. Get some rest and we can address that problem tomorrow. It's been a long day and you don't need to be stressing yourself on a woman that doesn't seem to care about her own daughter. We don't need to think about that now."

"I guess you're right." She rubbed her hand on her stomach and Huey rested his larger hand on there too. "He's sleeping right now... he. It sounds so weird that we know the proper pronoun. Now we only have to focus on boy names."

"I told you I was right and we don't need to figure out a name now. Let's just get through the rest of this pregnancy and school." Huey told her.

"I know. We can get boy clothes since we know. Just be expected to see a loooot of blue and sneakers. You know I caught Riley looking at baby Jordan's. When I asked what he was doing, he quickly hid it and said it was nothing."

"He's actually surprised me the most." Huey had to admit. "He seems excited to be an uncle more than I expected him to be. I didn't think he could care for more than 3 people at a time. Two of them being him."

"You and me both but I trust him already."

Huey scratched his head. "I don't know if I trust him just yet. He would have him saying nigga as his first word."

"...Ok fine, I get what you mean." Jazmine stopped when she let out a big yawn.

Huey kissed her forehead as he watched her eyes flutter shut. "Get some rest."

She snuggled into Huey's chest. "We love you Huey."

"I love you too, Jazmine and you, son."

Jazmine wanted to smile so hard but she was too tired. Before she knew it, she was in a deep sleep and Huey wasn't far behind her.


I have finally finished this chapter. It was meant to come out two weeks ago on my birthday along with Gangster Love but never got round to it. Now with all this madness happening in the world, I guess I have more time to write. This is even my longest chapter for this story.

I have never been to court so that scene may be a bit off. I tried my best so I hope it was decent enough and seemed at least a little realist.

crazymancody895: I guess we got a little justice here and it took me a while to think about what gift they should give each other but I'm glad you liked it.

Chel29: Sorrrrrryyy issa boy loool.

Until next time
