“Maybe I should,” Malachi responded and followed his uncle to see the onsite nurse.

5 Months Later
“Aaghh! These damn babies won’t let me rest!” Kairo groaned as she turned over in her king-size mattress.
Knock! Knock!
“Who could possibly be knocking at my door?” she asked herself, looking at her clock and seeing it was only 10 am. They knocked again, this time harder. “Come in!” Kairo yelled as she rolled over in bed because her stomach wouldn’t allow her to sit up correctly. Entering was Miss Creole, her bedside nurse, strolling her way in to tell Kairo the news she had been noticing for the past couple of months.
“Good morning, my dears, I was bringing you the Louisiana Newspaper. Did you know your face has been in the paper for months as a missing person?” Miss Creole asked in her sweet southern voice, grabbing Kairo’s hand. She was an older southern woman, couldn’t be no more than 93 years old. Her grey hair was neatly braided and tucked into a bun. A complete resemblance to Cicely Tyson.
“Yes, Miss Creole, my husband is looking for me,” Kairo said, flashing a warm smile.
“Oh, you married?” she asked, pointing with her wrinkly fingers, looking at Kairo with her glossy eyes.
“Unfortunately, yes, but Miss Creole, can you do me a favor? Please don’t bring me no more newspapers.”
“Sure thing, baby!” Miss Creole said and turned to leave out the room with the newspaper in her trembling hands.
As Miss Creole turned to leave out, Dre walked in. He was Kairo’s main man. He handled all the drug negotiations with different distributors from around the world. He was standing tall at 6’3, and had a milk chocolate complexion with a muscular build. He kept himself groomed and clean, making sure to keep his fade low and his goatee trimmed. Dre was very handsome in Kairo’s eyes, but knew she couldn’t have him the way she desired. Plus, she was five months pregnant, which made things worse because Delano wasn’t there to fuck her.
“Dre, what can I do for you?”
“Good morning Kairo.” He kissed her hand and sent chills down her spine. “The Italians are happy to supply our coke on the next shipment, but I got a better idea. How about we grow our own product in the fields?”
“That’s going to cost more, wh—”
“I’ll front the money since it was my idea. I just need your approval,” he said, staring in her eyes.
“Yea, if you think that’s better than purchasing from other distributors, we will do that.”
“But we need a name for packaging the product.”
“We will figure something out soon,” she said.
“Alright!” Dre said and departed from her presence.
Damn, that man knows he smells good, and he’s fine! she thought to herself as she watched him walk out the room. The scent of his body oil lingered in her room making her aroused. Kairo was long overdue for some sex. She hadn’t had good sex since she got married to Delano. It was insane how he just switched up on her like that, when he was just sweet as honey in the beginning. But since she was miles away from her husband, and the way Dre looked turned her on, she decided to lock the door and masturbate.
Kairo placed a pillow under herself, pulled out her pink Jack Rabbit with a length of 8 inches, and teased her pussy with the rabbit’s ears. She moaned while pulling on both her nipples that were now dark, and sucked them until she tasted the sweet milk that secreted from them. She gyrated her hips in a circular motion in the middle of the bed, while the pink vibrator slid in and out of her. She was wetter than the ocean, creamier than cream of wheat, and since she was pregnant her hormones were heightened. She imagined riding Dre, until he came inside her. Soon as she felt her body quiver, her feet went numb as the orgasm shot throughout her entire body causing her muscles to clench on the vibrator’s tip.
“Oh, shiiit!” Kairo screamed as she released her nut and her heartbeat increased. Although she had to rub it out on her own, nothing could compare to the real thing. After cumming on the rubber toy, she licked her juices off, pretending like it was Dre’s dick. Satisfied, she took a hot shower, cleansing herself, and got dressed afterwards. “I need to go see Delano,” she said, looking at herself in the mirror. She suddenly didn’t feel right hiding this pregnancy from him. He had the right to know he was going to be a father. Kairo walked into the living room where the Voodoo queen was cooking up a special potion.
“Well hello, where are you headed?” the Voodoo queen asked as she looked up from stirring the pot that had purple smoke rising and spilling out from the sides.
“I’m going to go visit Delano,” Kairo responded, stopping in her tracks. She made a scrunched-up face from smelling the herbs the Voodoo queen mixed. It smelt like sour milk and a human’s dirty ass crack. You know the one when a person has poor hygiene and they ass just purely stank.
“Oh, I wouldn’t advise that. He is even worse than you left him. But you’re going to do what you want to do anyway.” The Voodoo queen knew all things, but Kairo didn’t understand.
“How could you be so sure?” Kairo asked, squinting her eyes.
“Oh, chile I know you think I’m talking, and I look crazy, but my nephew will never be the same. Now he knows the truth about himself.”
“Truth?”
“Yes, something he has been keeping from you, that he didn’t want you to know.” The Voodoo queen stopped making the potion and wiped her hands on her clothes. She walked over to where Kairo was standing. “Poor chile, you don’t deserve to be in the dark. I’m not gone have you looking stupid, but what I’m going to tell you is going to help you understand why Delano hurt you the way he did, but first we need to sit down. My feet’s killing me.” They sat down on the black leather couch. “So, there is no correct way of saying this.”
“Ok, so what the fuck is it? Because you scaring me. Got me waiting and anticipating on what is going on.”
“Well, if you can handle it then I could say—here, take this just in case.” She gave Kairo a pot to hold. “Well, Johnny Sr, is Delano’s biological father. He and my si—”
“Wait, WHAT!” Kairo screamed in a high-pitched tone.
“He and my sister Gloria had an affair, and Delano was conceived. Making Johnny and California his siblings.”
“So, Malachi is—”
“His, nephew son,” the Voodoo queen said.
BLAAAAATTT!! Kairo lost her stomach after hearing the truth about Delano. This was something she was certainly not expecting to hear. She continued to hurl inside the pot, puking her guts out because it was nothing on her stomach.
“I told you, chile you weren’t going to be able to handle what I was going to say. I tried to ease it on you as easy as possible,” the Voodoo queen retorted and gave Kairo a napkin to wipe her mouth.
“Why didn’t he tell me?”
“Chile, he didn’t tell you because he thinks he is protecting you, but he is really hurting you.”
“I need to see him!” Kairo yelled with tears coming down her cheeks.
“I wouldn’t advise you to go alone, take Dre with you. He will protect you!”
“I will do that, thanks!”
Kairo dialed Dre on his cell and he was there within 15 minutes to accompany her back to Detroit. At first, he was reluctant on going because he knew the consequences that were ahead. But he wanted to keep Kairo and the babies safe, so he went any way. They boarded the helicopter and flew for 16 hours into the Detroit City Airport. Dre helped Kairo get inside the car before joining her on the other side.
“Please take us to 2246 Virginia Park,” Kairo said, giving the driver the address to their home.
“You alright?” Dre asked. He watched Kairo closely because he wanted to make sure she and the babies were ok. He knew deep down inside she felt some kind of way about him. She just couldn’t quite express it.
“Yes, I’m fine. I’m just nervous. I haven’t seen my husband in five months.”
“Can I ask why y
ou left him in the first place?”
“It’s a long story,” she sighed.
“I got time. I’m not leaving you, ever!” Dre said, touching Kairo’s hand. She suddenly felt a spark she had never felt before. Not even with Delano.
“You not, really?” Kairo asked, half believing what he was saying. Delano broke her heart promising he would protect her, but he never protected shit.
“Ma’am, we have arrived,” the driver said as he pulled up in front of the house.
“Dre, can you stay in the car? I don’t want him to think I left him for you,” Kairo asked and began walking towards the house, but he stopped her.
“Wait, take this strap with you,” Dre said, handing Kairo the 9mm. Without putting up a fight, she took the gun and tucked it in her purse.
“Alright, but stay in the car. I will be right back.” Kairo closed the car door and walked towards the large doors she used to call home. She took deep and steady breaths as she got closer to the door. She hadn’t seen Delano in months. Who knows how he was going to react when he saw her.
Knock! Knock!
Kairo knocked hard on the wooden door and Delano appeared within five minutes. It was almost like he was expecting her to knock on the door. When he saw her, he grew furious but wasn’t aware she was pregnant. He swung the main door open quickly.
“WHERE THE FUCK YOU BEEN?!” Delano yelled, pulling Kairo by her ears inside the house.
“OUCH, DELANO STOP!” Kairo screamed as the pain from the pulling of her ears intensified, making the babies kick.
“Bitch! How yo—”
“Let her the fuck go!” Dre said, walking up on Delano with his Uzi pointed directly at his head. Since he recognized the voice, he let Kairo go and turned around to see the familiar face. Dre was ready to blow Delano’s head off his shoulders. He didn’t play about that woman abuse. Plus, he owed him some money from a run down south.
“Dre, nigga what the fuck you doing up here?” Delano asked.
“Man, nigga fuck all that talking shit. Let me see you put your hands on her again. I’ll beat yo’ fucking ass myself!” Dre said, stepping up in Delano’s face.
“Man, Kairo, why you bring the help with you?”
“He is my partner, respect him. And if you put your fucking hands on me again, I will shoot you my damn self!” Kairo said, removing the 9mm from her purse.
“Kairo, what the fuck you come back for?” Delano asked. He was going through it for months. Everyone left him, first Kairo then Malachi. He had no idea where Malachi had been since the day he disappeared. He just thought he ran away from home.
“Shut the fuck up, ole bitch ass nigga. Who the fuck was protecting you all these fucking years down south? I wish you would act tough right now. Where the fuck is my money you owe me from that one run?” Dre said angrily.
“Nigga, I got your fucking money! You better suck my dick!” Delano said.
“NI—”
“Dre!!!” Kairo screamed, stopping him from pulling the trigger. “Return to the car, I will be out shortly. I just want to talk to my husband.”
“Alright, you sho, you gon’ be good?” Dre asked, and Kairo nodded quickly. He did not want to jeopardize Kairo’s life, nor did he want to leave Kairo alone for shit. At least not while this nigga Delano was still breathing.
“You heard her, get to stepping nigga,” Delano said before mumbling under his breath, “Bitch ass nigga.” As Dre turned to leave and walked out, Delano asked, “You fucking that nigga?
“No! Why would you think that! I’m pregnant again with our twins,” she said, offended. Her voice was raised, and she was not expecting him to slap her. She felt the same sting on her cheek she’d experienced before. She could not even bring it upon herself to shoot this nigga. “You should really watch who you are hitting.”
“Bitch, why? That ain’t my fucking baby!” Delano denied for the simple fact she did try to pin another baby on him before.
“Why isn’t it yours? You forced yourself on me five months ago, why isn’t it yours?!” Kairo said, folding her arms across her swollen breasts.
“Forced? Girl, that’s mine. I get it when I want it. You haven’t been home for months, then you magically appear out the blue pregnant. You got to be fucking somebody else because you ain’t fucking me!”
“Why do you assume I’m fucking someone else? I don’t know about you, but I have been faithful to you since you put a damn ring on my finger,” Kairo said.
“Girl, get the fuck out of here with that lying shit. I will find out if they mine in four months. Until then, you can get the fuck out my house and go back to where the fuck you came from,” Delano said as he opened the door for Kairo to exit. She was more than salty that the man she thought was supposed to love and protect her was now her enemy. Just as Kairo walked through the door, she stopped and looked back at him.
“I want a divorce since I’m the queen of the south now. I no longer need you. Your papers will arrive in the mail. Kairo took the $50,000 ring off and threw it at him. “I know I would flip the fuck out if I found out Johnny Sr. was my father and I shared a baby with my deceased sister.”
“Wait a minute, how the fuck you find out about that shit? Did my auntie tell you?” Delano asked, running after her pulling on her arm. She turned and snatched her arm away.
“None of your fucking business, I’m not revealing my resources. But I know one thing for sure. You touch me again, I won’t hesitate to pull the trigger and kill your ass!”
“Come on Kairo, it ain’t got to be like that. Let’s talk about this!”
“Too late nigga, it ain’t shit to talk about,” Kairo said and got inside the car.
Delano stood there watching Kairo get in the car with Dre. He was sure to keep his secret in the dark so no one would find out, but since Kairo knew, he was going to make her pay.
Dog Bones
“Ahhh, shit! Fuck me baby,” Malachi moaned as Jackie, Johnny’s in-house nurse, fucked the young 15-year-old. She was grown as hell, but she didn’t give a fuck. That bitch was sick in the head. Johnny didn’t allow them to go home, so she did what she needed to do. Malachi didn’t give a damn either. Pussy was pussy to him. He was now heavy into the streets so he had to get it where he could.
The woman’s long titties dangled in Malachi’s face and he sucked on both while slapping both of her ass cheeks. Although she was 54, Malachi loved this older pussy. It didn’t cheat, nor did it talk back. He held her down as he released his thick, creamy nut inside her warm, wrinkly pussy that was covered with grey strands of hair. He was still sucking on her titties while his nice-sized dick jumped inside her.
“Oh, Malachi you never cease to amaze me,” she said, wiping herself clean to return to work.
“Jackie, you have always made me happy since the first day we met. I knew you were special when you helped my nose heal.”
Buzz! Buzz!
“I gotta make a jiff, my uncle calling me. I will see you around,” Malachi said as he was looking at his phone before pressing the green button to answer. “What’s the deal?”
“You done getting your dick wet?”
“Yea.”
“Well I got work for you on Harper. I need you to meet Eric and me on 12735 Wade Street.”
“Ok.”
“Neph,” Johnny said, catching him before he ended the call.
“Yes, Uncle?”
“You still not talking to your dad?”
“Man, fuck that nigga!” Malachi said with much attitude. He had lost respect for him since the day he chose Kairo over him. He strongly hated him ever since, making him even more rebellious than he was before they met.
“You know he has been worried sick about you. I think you still should call him,” Johnny said, trying to convince him to speak to his father. He could have told Delano himself where Malachi was, but decided against it. He was just getting things set into play just the way he wanted.
“Chh, man, he will be alright,” Malachi said
as he sucked his teeth and smacked his lips. “I’m about to be on my way!”
“Alright, I will see you when you pull up,” Johnny said and ended the call.
Johnny sat there in his car puffing a cigar as he waited for his nephew to arrive to the spot. The sky was filled with thick, dark grey clouds and the air was hot, indicating a storm was headed their way. One raindrop fell onto Johnny’s windshield followed by millions of other drops pelting onto the car and the streets.
“Fuck!” Johnny said, rolling his window up. He was enjoying the weather, minus the rain. The last thing he needed was for the rain to pour. In his side view mirror, he could see Eric pull up behind him. Eric exited the car and jogged over to Johnny’s car.
“Was sup, you got someone to do the job for us?” Eric asked.
“Yea, my nephew. He should be here shortly.” Johnny looked at the gold Rolex on his arm. He was on Vandyke and Lynch so it should only take him no more than 10 minutes to reach him.
“Alright, let’s roll over to Wade right now,” Eric suggested and ran back to his car because he was getting soaked in the rain.
They both pulled up at the same time that Malachi was pulling up. They all got out and slapped high fives before walking into the house. They entered and found the same women from Appoline shackled by hands and feet together. Johnny decided to work with Eric after all; it was more money for him in his pockets. He didn’t give a damn about those girls, nor did he give a damn about anyone else.
“You ready to do this nephew?” Eric asked, relating himself to make Malachi feel at ease.
“What the fuck am I doing?”
“You are transporting 12 of these girls over to Canada. We have clients waiting to taste our product. But Eric, the second shit goes south with these girls, I promise you, your head will be next in the front of my charger I’m pushing in the streets,” Johnny threatened. He was serious about that. The moment shit got crazy, Johnny was gon’ be the first to pop a cap in his ass.
