Asia looked at Chelsea from head to toe. She couldn't lie; she was cute, but cute was for puppies so she wasn't too impressed. "What can I do for you, Chelsea?" Asia asked.
"I was wondering if we could talk, woman-to-woman," Chelsea asked.
"Come on in," Asia said as she stepped to the side so Chelsea could enter. Chelsea looked around and admired Asia's house. Just as it looked on the outside, it was big as hell. Asia led Chelsea to the backyard where she had her gazebo set up. Asia sat across from Chelsea waiting for her to initiate the conversation.
Since it seemed like the cat had her tongue, Asia spoke up. "So I'm guessing you're here to talk about Omari?" asked Asia.
"I just want to know. Did you know about me?" Chelsea asked, even though the letter clearly stated that Asia didn't know about her.
"I just found out about you like two weeks ago. Had I known you even existed, there would not have been anything going on between me and him."
"So what was the extent of your relationship?"
"It all depends on what you mean," Asia said. "Did we fuck? Yes, a lot. Did we kiss? Yes we did. Did he lay his head in that house you just walked through? Hell yea, he did for three weeks straight," Asia said.
Chelsea was thrown for a loop. She thought it was just a sex thing between the two since she wasn't giving him any because she was pregnant. "Well, I'm here to assure you that everything between you two is over," she said with an attitude.
"It's over because I told him it was over. Not because you said so. But that would only happen if he was willing to leave me alone," Asia said, matching her attitude.
Chelsea was about to speak up but was cut off by Asia's ringing phone. Asia looked down and smirked when she saw Knowledge's name on the screen. Since his so called fiancé was popping a lot of shit, she was going to show her that it was evident that her so-called man won't leave her alone. "What?" she answered, putting the phone on speaker.
"Don't fucking play with me, Asia. I need to see you," Knowledge said with an attitude. Chelsea froze as she heard her man’s voice on the other end of the phone.
"I'm busy."
"Too fucking bad! Meet me in an hour. I'll text you the address. Don't make me come get you," Knowledge threatened before hanging up.
Asia looked at Chelsea for a few seconds before getting up. "It was real nice talking to you, but I have to go."
Chelsea just looked Asia up and down. She and Knowledge had to be some damn fools if they thought she was going to be cool with this shit they had going on. It better had end today or it was going to be some serious shit.

Knowledge had just put Serenity in her swing when Chelsea slammed the front door. She stormed over to him and started throwing wild punches at him. She was hitting straight air so Knowledge grabbed her by her wrist. "What the fuck is yo problem?"
"If you walk out this house to go see her, don't come back. Me and Serenity don't need you," she said through gritted teeth.
Knowledge just rolled his eyes and pushed her away. "Chill out man. This ain't got shit to do with you," he said. He was wondering how she even knew about Asia because he damn sure didn't tell her.
"I just left her house. I know you want her to meet you in an hour. I swear to God Knowledge, you better end this shit with her, and end it now, or you'll never see Serenity again," Chelsea said.
Knowledge just grabbed his keys and headed towards the door without bothering to respond to her. He jumped in his car, ready to get the fuck away from her. Once he got down the street he called her. Before she could even utter a hello he spoke. "Be dumb and take my daughter somewhere if you want to. You know I'll find you, so fuck with me and I promise you it won't be pretty.” He hung up.
Asia sat outside the Four Seasons hotel wondering why the hell Knowledge would want her to meet him at a hotel. If he thought he was about to take her to one of these rooms and fuck her then he had another thing coming. She saw his money green Benz pulling up and was mad at herself for catching butterflies.
Knowledge hopped out of his car and walked over to her passenger side and got in. He reclined his seat all the way back before looking over at Asia who was already mugging him. He reached over to touch her stomach and she slapped his hand away. “Don’t touch me, Omari.”
“Why not?”he asked.
She rolled her eyes at him and looked out the window, not wanting to look him in his eyes. “Why did you call me out here? You know your fiancé popped up at my house today.”
Knowledge stopped to see if she was serious. Noticing she didn’t crack a smile and she looked bothered, he put two and two together. That’s how she know who Asia is. But the question now is how the hell did she find out? he thought. “What she say to you? You straight?”
"She just pretty much said that whatever we got going on between us is dead, starting today, and I agree with her,” Asia said.
Knowledge reached over and turned her car off before grabbing her and trying to sit her on his lap. Too tired to fight with him, she just let him have his way. Still not wanting to look at him, she turned her head. Knowledge gently grabbed her chin, forcing her to look at him. He could see the hurt and sorrow in her eyes that he’d caused and was feeling like shit. “I’m sorry,” he whispered.
Asia looked deep in his eyes and could tell that he was truly sorry but that wasn’t enough for her. He hurt her all because he couldn’t keep it real with her. “Omari, I…”
He cut her off by gently kissing her lips. He used his tongue to part he lips before kissing her passionately. Asia was so into the kiss that for a minute she forgot that she was even mad at him. “Omari, stop!” Asia said as she pushed away from him. “I can’t keep doing this with you.” She let tears fall from her eyes.
She got back in the driver’s seat and wiped her eyes. “From here on out, there is nothing between us but business. You won’t have to worry about me or this baby. Yes, I will be keeping it because it didn’t ask for this shit, just like I didn’t ask to get pregnant. I’m not going to keep you out of your other child’s life, but I can assure you that mines will be very well taken care of,” she said as she looked straight ahead.
“So that’s it? You’re not going to let me be in his or her life?” he asked, staring at the side of her face.
“You already have a child’s life you get to be in. I don’t want to cause any more problems between you and Chelsea, so just don’t even mention it.” She hit the lock letting him know it was time for him to get out. Knowledge just looked at her and nodded his head. He was going to let her go if that’s what she wanted, but there was no way in hell she was going to keep him from his child. He didn’t give a fuck what she, Chelsea or anyone else had to say about the matter, that wasn’t going to happen.

Asia had been staying home to get her mind right and also to avoid seeing Knowledge. She had already put her brother up on game so he wouldn't be worrying about her. As if she didn't already have enough to deal with, Khyree had been bothering her about him moving in. He claimed that he wanted to be closer to his son, but Asia knew it was just to make sure that Knowledge wouldn't be coming over.
Today Symir had called a beginning of the month meeting, claiming he had something he wanted to tell everybody. Since she had been out of the loop for a few weeks, she was going to make a surprise pop-up visit. After dropping Symare off at Crystal's, she headed to the warehouse where all the meetings were held at. She checked herself in her rearview mirror before getting out of the Maybach that had only been driven twice since her brother got it for her birthday.
She walked through the doors and it seemed like all eyes were on her. One pair of eyes belonged to someone she had never seen before. She walked straight over to her brother with a questioning look on her face. "What's up?" she asked.
"Shit, you back?" Symir asked.
"Back like I never left," she said. She could feel both Knowledge and Khyree staring holes in her, but she chose to ignore them both. Symir grabbed her hand and led her away from everyone else to have a quick talk with her.
"I'm not gon have any problems out of you and ya baby daddy, am I?" he asked.
"Which one?"
"Both, but mainly Knowledge."
"Nah, I already told him that there is nothing between us but business," Asia said.
"Alright, I don't want no shit out of y'all," Symir said seriously.
Asia just nodded her head as he led her back to the group. She was still wondering who the newbie was, but her brother was about to put an end to that. "Asia, Cole. He's new to the crew, so play nice,” He said, knowing how his sister could be.
"I'll try," she said as she eyed Cole. He had a chocolate complexion with grey eyes that drew her in. They looked mysterious and had her wondering what he was all about. With no shame in her game, Asia kept stealing glances at Cole, knowing she would never cross that line with him. The last time she did, she ended up pregnant and being a side bitch. Just thinking about her situation made her eyes travel to Knowledge, who was already staring at her intensely.
Just to get a rise out of her, he blew her a kiss. Asia stuck her middle finger up at him and with a smirk on his face, he mouthed, 'when'. She rolled her eyes and mouthed back, 'never'. Khyree watched the whole exchange between the two and was trying real hard not to sock Knowledge in his shit. He didn't like him because of the shit he put Asia through and because he knocked up the mother of his child. In his mind, he was the only one who was supposed to get Asia pregnant.
After the meeting, Asia sat in her car to kill time so she didn't have to go straight home and hear Khyree's bullshit. Her passenger door came open and Cole eased in the seat. Asia looked around to see who else was witnessing this. "You're a bold little fucker. What can I do for you?"
"I just wanted to formally introduce myself to you. Your brother has been talking about you since I linked up with him. I was anxiously waiting to meet you," Cole said.
"Is that right?" she asked.
"Of course," he stuck out his hand for her to shake.
Asia looked at his hand before taking it in her own. Cole smiled, which automatically made Asia smile. "How old are you Cole?"
"Nineteen. Before you say it, yes, I know I'm young." He laughed.
"Hey, I'm only a year older so I can't say anything; but Symir must see something in you if he allowed you to be down, so welcome to the family," Asia said.
Someone cleared their throat and they looked up to see Knowledge standing there. Asia rolled her eyes which had become a habit whenever she was in his presence. She didn't appreciate him sneaking up on her. "Alright, I'll holla at you later," Cole said before getting out of the car.
Knowledge opened Asia's door and picked her up before sitting back in the seat with her on his lap. He placed his hand on her stomach which was starting to get a little bulge. Asia put her hand on his to get his hand off of her but he stopped her. "Stop, Asia," he said sternly.
She sighed. "What do you want, Omari?"
"You," he answered.
She sighed again and tried to get off of his lap, but he wrapped his arm around her waist tightly. "Stop. I'm not about to do this with you. I already told you what is was between us," she said with an attitude.
"How many times do I have to say sorry, Asia? I know I fucked up and I could say I'm sorry until I'm blue in the face…”
"But that won't change a damn thing. Your apologies don't mean shit to me. You're just sorry you got caught up. You didn't expect me to get pregnant and that's what threw you off your game," Asia said, pissed off.
"That's how you feel?" he asked.
"That's the way it is. Now please move. I'm ready to go home."
Knowledge leaned up and kissed her neck lightly. "Alright, pretty girl. I hear you," he said before sliding out of the car so that she could get back in her seat. He wasn't tripping off a damn thing Asia was saying. He was going to go ahead and keep letting her throw her little tantrums because he knew she was mad. He knew exactly what to do about her attitude.

When Knowledge got home, he went straight for his baby girl. She was the only female in his life right now that wasn't pissed with him. He walked past the kitchen and Chelsea was in there cooking, so he went straight for the nursery. Of course, she was laying in there wide-eyed like she knew her daddy was coming in there for her.
To only be three weeks old, she was already a little too advanced. He knew it was because she was moving out the way for her little brother of sister, which he still hadn't told Chelsea about. "C'mon lil mama, let's see what mommy is cooking," he said as he kissed her chubby cheeks.
He carried her into the kitchen to mess with Chelsea. "What's for dinner, Chelsea?" he asked.
"You'll find out when I'm done, Omari," she said dryly.
"Oh, so I'm Omari now? What I tell you about calling me that?" he asked.
Chelsea turned around and looked at him like he was crazy. "You let her call you Omari, so how come I can't?"
He lifted her daughter up to look at her. "Your mommy is about to trip, lil mama. Time for us to move to the next room," he said as he walked out of the kitchen.
Chelsea rolled her eyes. "Get on my damn nerves," she mumbled.
"What you say?" Knowledge asked, scaring her.
"Nothing."
"Nah, don't get quiet now. Speak what's on your mind."
"You really don't wanna know."
"If I didn't, I wouldn't have asked. So what's up?"
Chelsea eyed him real good before speaking. "What is it about her? I've never had to worry about you ever cheating on me since we've been together. I've seen her in person, so I know she's pretty, but I also know that's not the reason. So let me know what's up."
Knowledge sighed and scratched the back of his head. "That's not for you to worry about, alright?" He couldn't tell her that he didn't know what it was about Asia that made him want to be with her. He was afraid that it would crush her if he told her that the more he wanted Asia, the less he wanted her.
"So that's it? You can't even be a man and tell me?" Chelsea shook her head. Without responding, he walked out of the kitchen to kick it with his daughter. He was tired of having the same conversation with Chelsea every day. It was getting old.

Asia sat in her brother's backyard soaking up the sun. It had been a while since she had a chance to just sit back and relax, so she was really enjoying it. She didn't have to worry about no baby daddy drama because she had blocked both of their numbers for a few days so she could get some peace.
"Mommy look!" Symare said as he jumped in the pool.
Asia smiled at her son. He was really the highlight of her life. She didn't know where she would be or what she would be doing if she hadn't had him. "Good job, big boy." She beamed.
"So when's the next doctor's appointment?" Symir asked as he handed her a cherry Popsicle.
Asia shrugged. "I'm four months today so the next appointment, I might be able to find out the sex of the baby."
"You excited?" he asked.
"Hell yea, I want it to be a girl so bad." Asia smiled.
"Good, because I think I'm to put a Symir Jr. in Nika," he said seriously.
Asia stopped eating her Popsicle and looked at her brother with a sly smile. "Oooh weeee!" She laughed.
"Shut up, asshole. But check this out," he said as he reached in his short pocket and pulled out a ring box. Asia's jaw hit the ground and she hadn't even seen the ring yet. She took the ring from her brother to get a good look at it. It was a ten carat, canary yellow diamond that was damn
near bigger than her head.
"Oh my God! Yes, yes, yes!" she yelled.
Symir busted out laughing at his sister. She was acting like he had proposed to her. "Girl, give me that back with ya crazy ass."
"When are you going to ask her?" Asia asked excitedly.
"That's what I wanted to talk to you about. I was thinking we could go on a little vacation, somewhere tropical. That's why I asked when your next appointment was, so we can go after," Symir explained.
"Awww, my brother is about to be a married man. I can't believe it." Asia fake pouted.
"Not unless she says yes." He smiled.
"Negro, please!" Asia exclaimed. "Anika has been around longer than me. When you and Ma first came and got me from that foster home, she was at the house waiting for ya black ass to get home. She loves you and you damn sure love her. Y'all have been through hell and back together so it's only right, and I have no doubts that she'll say yes. I just wish..." Asia cut her sentence off because she didn't want to ruin the joyous moment.
"You just wish Pops was here to see it," he finished her sentence for her.
"Yea," she said sadly.
Symir pulled his sister into a hug and kissed her forehead before putting her in a headlock. "Cheer up, girl. He’s in heaven watching over us. Him and Sasha both, so stop being sad."
Asia laughed as she struggled to get out of his headlock. "Alright, I'm not sad."
"You better not be," he said as he let her go.
"It's against the law to be beating on a pregnant woman, you know." She smiled.
"Not if that pregnant woman is my knucklehead ass baby sister." He ruffled her hair before getting up.
~ ~ ~
As her brother requested, Asia made another doctor’s appointment so he could get his surprise proposal trip in order. After signing papers, she sat on the waiting room to be called back. She was playing a game on her phone that she had downloaded for Symare when she saw a familiar walk coming towards her out the corner of her eye.
There was Knowledge, walking in her direction, looking a little bit too sexy for her liking. She needed for him to be ugly in order to be mad at him and not like him. He smoothly sat in the seat next to her and, like always, rubbed her stomach.
