“Menace, I never called you that… you want to squash the beef, so I think it’s only right you meet him.”

I smirked. “I’m not who you need to be worried about, Ms. Lawyer.”

“Gerald?” she screeched.

“You want me to mind my business… that’s what I’m doing, Ms. Lawyer… heard you gonna have some chocolate babies.”

“Fuck you meannnn! I’m not having no kids,” she stormed back inside, leaving me to close my eyes and smile to myself.

Me and Goon would be having that sit down depending on how he handled Sigel. If he could come behind my baby sister as hard as I would, then he could have that sit down and gain my respect.

“Alright, here is your sorbet… eat it before it melts.”

I opened my eyes again to a lemon with lemon flavored sorbet in the inside. It wasn’t the sorbet that threw me off, it was a fucking pregnancy test sticking out of my fucking sorbet.

“Boo, I’m trying real hard to get my personal shit under control and then you go and do some nasty shit like this… you pissed on that?”

“Mitchell, pull the stick out the damn lemon,” she raised her voice.

I pulled the stick out of the sorbet and looked at the wordpregnanton the test. “You carrying my baby, Wonder?”

“I am.” She nervously smiled, as she stood over me.

She kept shifting her weight from one foot to the next. I snatched her down on my lap and kissed her all over her face. “You got Dennis in there, Wanda?”

She giggled as she held my face. “Maverick, how do you feel?”

“How the fuck you think I feel… I’m nervous as shit.”

“Excited though, right?”

Kissing her lips, I searched her eyes. As I held her, she was nervous and needed to know that I was okay. “Wonder, you carrying my legacy… I’m fucking excited. What you thought?”

“I was nervous.”

“Tell me how you feeling, boo. I need to know.”

She kissed me on the head. “I am nervous to become someone’s mama, but I am excited.”

“Requirement?”

I could see the nervousness swirling in her eyes. “Yes.”

“We do this shit together… me and you. We’ll figure this shit out together, Wanda?”

Wonder tossed her arms around my neck and hugged me so tight. “Together, Mitchell.”

“I got Wanda pregnant!” I hollered off the balcony.

The chatter from below stopped. “Who the fuck is Wanda?” Don yelled back.

“I’m going to be an auntie! I need to call Kora right now because she gonna fucking bug out… move out the way, Beans.” I couldn’t see her, but I just knew she football shoved the fuck out of Beans.

“Damn, Zoya… I was moving.”

“Yo Mens,” I heard Core’s voice, and got up to look over the deck. He smiled, as he saluted. “Happy for you.”

“Appreciate it.” I looked at Jeffie, Skyler, and Duke. “Why the fuck none of you surprised? Y’all said y’all hate my baby?”
