Unbreakable 2

by Tynessa

  A couple of minutes later we turned on one street that had only one house that sat back in a cul de sac. Once we pulled up to the house, Ronny pressed a button on his phone and the gates swung open. I eyed him sideways as we drove down the circular driveway that had a waterfall in the middle of it. We pulled up behind Nell and Bino’s cars.

  “Ronny, what’s going on?” I asked as he hopped out, came around, and opened my door, helping me out. We walked up to the front door hand and hand. As Ronny was about to put his hand on the knob the door swung open.

  “SURPRISE!”

  It was good that Ronny was behind me because I almost jumped out of my skin as Nell, my sister, Brooke, Bino, Debbie, Daddy Willie, Grandma Thelma, the kids, and my parents stood there smiling. I placed my hand over my chest as my heart beat rapidly. Ronny whispered in my ear.

  “Happy Birthday baby… This is for you, for us, for our future.”

  I turned to face him and wrapped my arms around his neck, giving his a long passionate kiss.

  Everyone seemed to be having a good time except for Star. Even my mom put on a fake smile, congratulated us, and mingled with his parents and Grandma Thelma. While Star stared off into space and played with the kids. Not once did my sister congratulate me, I didn’t know if she was jealous or what the deal was but I wasn’t about to let her ruin my day. Fuck her!

  I was upstairs in the master bedroom looking out the bay window while rubbing my stomach when my girl Brooke walked in.

  “You okay mama?” she asked me.

  I turned to face her and smiled “Yeah, I’m good. I was just taking another look over the house,” I said as we sat down in the seal of huge bay window.

  “Sis, this house is everything! I freaking love it.”

  “I know. My baby surprised the hell out of me with this ring and this house.” I smiled. “I just hope this shit last. It’s seems as if nobody wants us to be together, like every time we’re doing good in our lives something always happen to tear us apart.”

  “Both of y’all just have to stay strong. The devil is always working but it’s up to y’all to fight him off.”

  I just nodded my head up and down.

  “Just watch your back because the ones that have the knives and ready to stab you in it are the ones that you always trust the most,” Brooke said.

  “Yeah, that’s true. That’s why I only trust you and my sister but lately her ass been acting all stank. You see she didn’t even come congratulate me and Ronny on our engagement?” I wasn’t trying to be petty but for us to be so close, that wasn’t sitting well with me.

  “Yeah, I’ve been meaning to ask you… is she jealous of you or something? I’ve been seeing her looking at you a little sideways lately.”

  I shrugged my shoulders. “After today, I’m wondering the same thing. But I do know one thing though, she better get that shit under control because family or not, it ain’t shit to cut a bitch off.”

  “I know that’s right,” Brooke said laughing as we high-fived each other. I was dead ass serious though.

  Ronny walked in with sleeping Shaniyah in his arms and Bino right behind him.

  “What y’all in here talking about?” Bino asked.

  “Cutting bitches off,” Brooke replied.

  Ronny and Bino shook their heads “Please don’t get Shan started. She known for fight hoes while pregnant,” Ronny said referring to Nikki and Trish.

  “I didn’t know I was pregnant,” I said laughing.

  We talked and laughed a little more before heading back downstairs. We hugged and told the family goodbye and everyone went their separate ways. Ronny, the kids, and I went back to my condo. We were staying there until we had everything at the new house. I was so ready to move and start my new life with the ones that meant the world to me.

  Brooke

  “Come on girls,” I said to Angel and Kelly as we walked out of the gas station. Bino was standing at the hood of his truck with his babymama arguing. She was being so loud, causing a scene, and acting so ghetto that it was ridiculous. I opened the door to let the girls in and tried not to look their way until I heard the bitch say, “And you can give me my fucking child back. I told you I didn’t want her around this bitch and her kids.”

  I snapped my head towards them so fast. “Excuse me? It’s Miss Bitch to you! And if it’s not with Bino then Kelly isn’t going anywhere. Not with you or anyone else. And this bitch said that!” I said pointing to myself. I knew I couldn’t call any shots like that but Amber was gonna have to put up a good ass fight to get Kelly. I loved that child as if I birthed her my damn self.

  “Bitch who are you to tell me that I can’t take my own fucking child. That’s mines, I pushed her out… not you!” she screamed.

  “I don’t give a fuck who pushed her out. You should have thought about that before you gave her to her damn daddy.”

  She turned to Bino “I’m getting my child back and that’s all it is to it. So you better get your whore in check Bino,” she said before turning back to me. “Better yet go back to your husband. We were doing so much better before you came in the picture.”

  I wanted to slap the taste out that bitch’s mouth. “Bitch you don’t know my situation so don’t speak on it.”

  “I know you’re married and out her fucking another man.”

  By now, I had enough of this bitch’s mouth so I punched her dead in her shit. Bino stood there shocked but once she hit me back all hell broke loose. Bino scooped me up and put me in the truck as Amber cursed and yelled racist things to me. She was trying to get to him but the same guy she was with at the restaurant was holding her.

  “You told that bitch I was married?” I asked, talking over the kids crying.

  “Fuck no. I haven’t talked to that bitch since we ran into her a couple of months ago at the restaurant.”

  “Well, all I know is that hoe isn’t getting Kelly,” I let him know.

  That made Kelly sob louder. “I don’t want to go with her,” she said

  “I don’t want her to go either,” Angel said.

  I looked back at them. “Y’all stop crying, I’m not letting anyone take you away.” I forced a smile, “You’re staying here with me and your daddy.”

  “You promise?”

  “I promise baby,” I said as I wiped hers tears then reached over and wiped Angel’s tears before I turned around. I loved both of my girls.

  I saw Bino kept glancing over at me out of the corner of my eye as I sat with my arms fold underneath my breasts. I already knew why he was looking at me like that so I tried my best not to pay him any attention. Lately he had been stressing me out about getting a divorce. I knew it was something that had to be done and at first, I wasn’t sure if I really wanted to go through a divorce or if I wanted to make my marriage work. But as Bino kept pressing the issue, I finally built up enough courage to call my husband Bo to let him know I was filing for a divorce. I never told Bino that I called and how bad Bo cursed me out and told me he wasn’t giving me shit. I knew he would go nuts and I wasn’t up for the drama between my husband and my boyfriend.

  “You know we have to talk right,” he finally said.

  I sighed deeply, “Talk about what Bino?” I acted as if I didn’t already know as I stared straight ahead.

  “You already know Brooke, so let’s not play this game.”

  I threw my head back on the headrest. “Can we talk when we get home? We have the girl with us.”

  “That’s cool,” he said as he stepped on the gas to speed up.

  Bino

  I didn’t understand what Brooke was still hanging on to. I mean, she said it herself that nigga wasn’t any good. Hell, she even caught him fucking another bitch in her bed with the kids in the next room. Most females would have ran to the courthouse that same day. I didn’t know what kind of hold this nigga have on her but I was not about to continue sleeping with a married woman.

  “So what are you holding on to?” I asked as soon as we stepped foo
t in the house and the kids took off to their room.

  “I’m not holding on to anything Bino,” she had the nerve to sound agitated.

  “Well why is it so hard for you to go file for a divorce?”

  She dropped her head “It’s not.”

  “Well let me ask you this,” I said not giving her a chance to say anything before saying “Do you really love me?”

  “You know I love you Bino, so please don’t ever question my love for you.”

  “Are you in love with me?”

  “Yes Brandon Leon Wallace, I’m so fucking in love with you and you know that.”

  I nodded my head up and down “Okay, well let me ask you this?”

  She leaned back on the wall since we was still standing in the foyer “What Bino?”

  “Are you still in love with him?” I didn’t have to say a name because she knew exactly who I was talking about. She didn’t say anything. She just turned her head and looked in the other direction.

  I nodded my head up and down once again “That’s what’s up! I love you but I can tell you what I’m not about to do, and that is continue fucking a married ass woman,” and with that, I walked up the stairs, grabbed my daughter, and headed back down the steps. When I got back down the steps, Brooke was still in the same spot I left her at but only now, she was sitting down on the floor. When she saw my daughter and me, she jumped up.

  “Where are you going?” she asked.

  “Until you figure out what it is you want I’m moving out.”

  “Where are you staying? And why do you have to take Kelly?”

  “Don’t worry about where I’m staying and I’m taking her because she’s my daughter,” I said walking out the door, slamming it behind me.

  I knew Brooke loved me but I also knew she still had some type of feelings for that husband of hers. I just wished she would woman up and keep the shit one hundred because I wasn’t up for the games. It was either him or me.

  Chapter 17

  Star

  “Cornell, something isn’t right,” I said as I rubbed my stomach while Cornell and I sat at the table eating breakfast. He jumped straight up and rushed to me.

  “What’s wrong?”

  “I been having cramps for a couple of days but it’s getting worse now,” I said to him. The past couple of days the pain would come but after I take two Tylenols, they’ll go away. Now the pain is only getting worst. “I think it’s time.”

  “Okay, come on,” he said smiling helping me up from the chair. He walked me to the bedroom, helped me dress, grabbed my bag, and about 15 minutes later, we were out the door. I was trying to be strong but the pain was unbearable. I have never experience so much pain before in my life. Nell held my hand the whole ride.

  I felt warm liquid between my legs “I think my water just broke!”

  He looked at me with widen eyes “Shit,” he said and stepped on the gas pedal.

  He was driving so reckless I had to pray in silence for us to make it to the hospital safely. We pulled up and a nurse was already out waiting for us with a wheelchair. After we checked in, she wheeled me right on back, to a room. They hooked me up to the machine and I couldn’t help but to smile after hearing my baby’s heartbeat. Cornell just stood back smiling.

  “Hi Miss Holmes,” Dr. James, my doctor said walking into the room with a smile on her face. She got the stool and slid in front of me to check me. “Well Miss Holmes, you’re about five and a half centimeters dilated so we’re definitely going to have a baby today,” she said to us. After she walked out of the room, I grabbed my phone to call my mom. She answered on the second ring.

  “I’m going to have my baby today,” I said happily.

  “Are you really? Where are you now?” she asked excitedly

  “We’re at the hospital. I’ve dilated five and a half centimeters already.

  “What room are you in? Your father and I are already up here,” she informed me.

  I frowned. “What are y’all doing up here? Is everything okay?” I asked.

  “Your sister had the baby a couple of hours ago.”

  I took the phone from my ear and looked at the receiver. Just fucking great, we’re having our babies on the same damn day.

  “Oh okay. Well I’m in room 207 when you finish up there,” I said hanging up before she could respond. I looked over at Nell as he sat in the chair staring at me.

  “What happen?” he asked

  “Nothing. She’s up in Shan’s room. She just had the baby.”

  “Oh word,” he said excitedly. “What room they in? I want to go see my niece and congratulate them. My brother there? Man my lil Jr. and my niece are going to born on the same day,” he said all in one breath.

  I held my hand up, “You need to calm down and I don’t know what room she’s in”

  “What’s wrong with you?”

  “You sitting over there getting all excited over another bitch’s baby. Damn, is it yours?”

  “WHAT?” he shouted jumping up out his seat but he wasn’t scaring me. I just sat there looking at him as if he had lost his damn mind.

  “You heard what the fuck I said. You getting all excited about her having her baby and ready to run your ass to her room and here I am damn near about to push.”

  “Well call me when you start pushing,” he said and walked out of the room.

  I could not believe his ass just walked out like that. His ass could stay gone for all I cared, I was thinking about leaving his ass once I had my baby anyways. Little did he know, he had just made it that much easier to walk out. I picked up my phone and pressed the number 5 before hitting talk.

  “Hey luv,” Drea answered on the first ring.

  “Hey girl. I’m about to have my baby and my stupid ass babydaddy just walked out on me.”

  “What? Why the hell did he do that?”

  “Because he dumb as fuck,” I said before telling her what happened. She asked what room I was in because she was about to come and I told her. I already knew Cornell was going to have a damn fit when he saw her there but his ass shouldn’t have walked out. As I was hanging up the phone, my parents walked into my room.

  “My two grandbabies are going to be born on the same day. What a blessing,” my dad said as they walked over to my bed.

  My mom took out her cell phone. “Look… here’s a picture of the baby,” she said.

  I took a quick look at her before turning my head. “Oh okay.”

  My mom looked at me as she put up the phone. “What’s wrong with you child?”

  “Ain’t nothing wrong with me.”

  I was so sick of everybody thinking the world revolved around Shaniqua’s crazy ass. She could never do anything wrong to them but once I did something I never heard the end of it.

  Cornell

  I was so sick of Star’s ass and I had been doing a lot of thinking lately and came up with the conclusion that once she dropped my Jr. I was leaving her ass for good this time. She thought I was stupid and didn’t know she was still talking to her gay lover, but I’d read a couple of their texts so I know everything. When I walked out her room, I ran into Mr. and Mrs. Holmes and they told me Shan’s room number. I only wanted to see my niece and I was going back before my son came into the world.

  “Knock, Knock,” I said slowly opening the door to the room. I walked in and my brother was sitting feeding the baby while Shan was asleep.

  “What’s up man?” he looked up and smiled.

  “What’s good bro? Congratulation on the lil one!”

  “’Preciate that. Ma must’ve called you?” he asked

  I shook my head “Naw, Star up there about to have the baby,” I replied

  “Oh word… That’s what’s up right there. You nervous?”

  “I’m excited as hell,” I said taking out my cell phone as the door swung open and my mom walked in with my niece and nephew. I put my phone back in my pocket and walked over to hug her.

  “I was just about to call you. Star up
there about to have the baby.”

  She tilted her head and smiled. “What? So my grandbabies are about to be born on the same day?” she asked excitedly.

  “Yep,” I nodded my head up and down. She sat Niyah in the chair by Ronny so she could eat but Ray’Shun wanted to go with us so we took him. We had him so spoiled and I couldn’t wait to spoil my kid.

  We walked back into Star’s room as the doctor was checking her. I stood at the door with Ray’Shun while my mom went over and after the doctor was done, I went over there.

  “So have you dilated anymore?” I asked

  “I’m at seven now,” she said dryly, not even looking my way. I was turning to look up at the TV when I had to do a double look at something else. I turned back to Star and she was looking dead at me.

  “Da fuck is she doing here?” I said not loud but loud enough for the room to get quiet and everyone to look at me.

  “Don’t start Nell. She’s here because she’s my best friend,” Star said.

  “That bitch ain’t your best friend she’s your…”

  Star cut me off, “CORNELL! I’m about to give birth, I don’t need this extra stress right now. She is going to be the godmother of my baby, so she has every right to be here. You just gonna have to deal with it.”

  When she said that I started to walk the fuck out. “What the fuck you mean I’m gonna have to deal with it? I don’t have to deal with shit Star. I don’t want that bitch here period, point blank. Now you can either tell her to leave and she gets up and walk the fuck out or I can put her out my damn self,” I said with a look to let both of their asses know I meant business.

  She pressed her lips together before turning to look around at everyone that was standing quietly waiting to see how it was going to play out. Drea grabbed her purse and stood. “I’ll just come back after you have the baby,” she said to Star.

  “No fuck you won’t… I don’t want your ass around my fucking son,” I told her.

  She tilted her head and smiled before walking out quietly. Star had some fucking nerve to invite that bitch there. If she continued to fuck with her, I was getting custody of my son. Everyone was still looking at me as if I did something wrong as I walked around and sat in the chair Drea was just sitting in. If only they knew the real reason, I didn’t want her there. Star and I were sitting quietly while our parents conversed when the nurse came in to check her. After learning she was fully dilated and ready to push, her father went to the waiting room with Ray’Shun, leaving my mother and her mother in the room with us.
