Lylah W.
She turns looks at me in shock and I start bawling my eyes out
Mateo kneels down and hugs me
"How coul- Why would- you"I give up talking since I can barely breathe
"Shhhh it's okay" Mateo says rubbing my back
"I can explain" my mom says and I shake my head
"You faked your death" I state once my breath comes back to me
"And you knew?" I ask Zion not even looking at them
"Do you want to go" Mateo whispers and I shake my head
I wipe my tears and stand up
"Please explain" I say
"Carlos forced me to when he found out I was pregnant with Zions baby. He said he would kill you and Zion if I didn't fake my death. Zion didn't know until just now and I'm so sorry baby" she says crying
"Carlos isn't my dad" I say and she slumps her shoulders
"We know baby" My mom says and more tears fall out of my eyes
"How come you didn't tell me" I ask squeezing Mateos hand
"And you. You made me live with him when you knew you're my real father. And how could you cheat on dad-Carlos with him" I ask all at once
This is too much and I really just want to lay down and go to sleep but it's too late to turn around
"Me and Carlos's relationship was fake he forced me to marry him so he could have an heir but I was secretly on birth control until he stopped" she pauses for a moment and i shake my head
"Stopped forcing himself on me. I met Zion and long story short we were happy. You have to understand baby, everything I did was for your safety and now that he's dead we can be together" she says
She walks up to me and I cry as she hugs me
"I'm so sorry" I say to her
I feel so bad right now
"It's not your fault love" after a few moment we pull away
"Who's this" she asks
"I'm Mateo, Lylahs boyfriend" he says still in shock
I don't blame him
She engulfs him in a hug then pulls away
"How long she asks"
"2 or 3 months after your death" I say and she smiles
"Thanks for being there for my daughter, but what happened to Junior" she asks and he smiles
"He cheated, multiple times" I say and she rolls her eyes
"So where do you live now" she asks
"She has a baby now and they live with her friends" my dad says and my mom looks at me in shock
"You have a child" she asks in disbelief
I nod slowly "And I'm 1 month pregnant" I whisper
"WHAT" my dad says
"Oh my gosh" my mom squeals
*****
We're driving to the mansion now and I catch my mom up on everything
She's glad I'm still with the person I lost my virginity to and Mateo told her he wants to marry me in the near future
My dad is still mad that I'm pregnant again but he'll get over it
"So you don't care that Novah and Junior are together" I shake my head
"I have Mateo" I say and he smiles at me through the rearview mirror
"So you're pregnant with your second baby, Desarea and Novah are pregnant with their first" I nod and she laughs
"Cant keep it in your pants I see" my face turns red at her words
We pull up to the house and when we enter it's chaos
Havyn is screaming at the top of her lungs and Jeremiah is running around looking for something as Desarea and Novah try to calm her down
"Oh thank gosh you guys are bac- WHAT THE FUCK" Novah screams looking at my mom
"Long story short she has arisen from the dead. Now what's wrong with my daughter" Mateo says making me sigh
"You can't just move past that like that" Desarea says staring at my mom
I walk over to her and grab Havyn out of her arms
"I can't find her teething toy" Jeremiah says
"It's in the fridge" he groans and Desarea slumps down to the floor
"Mom meet Havyn, your granddaughter" I say yawning
I hand Havyn to her and she immediately stops crying
"Be so for real" Novah says
"Hi chunky mommas. You're so cute! Oh yes you are" my mom says in a baby voice and Havyn starts laughing
"You guys can share my room I'll sleep with Mateo" I say and my dad groans
As I help them clean up my mom plays with Havyn until she falls asleep in her arms
We finish cleaning and my mom offers to take her for the night
I agree and kiss Havyns forehead before they head upstairs
"How are you feeling" Mateo asks me once we're alone in his room
I sigh "Tired" he laughs
I take a very much needed shower and wash my hair before getting out
I dry off and put on one of Mateo shirts before laying down next to him on the bed, putting my head on his bare chest and my leg over his
"I was so scared and today" he admits and I softly smile
"I was too"
He kisses my forehead before pulling me on top of him
"I love you" I say as I shut my eyes
"I love you way more"
****
I wake up to an empty and stretch. It feels like I've been sleep for years
I sit up and lean my head against the headboard as I think about all the shit that happened yesterday
I got kidnapped, Carlos isn't even my dad, my mom is alive, and I'm pregnant
Again
I get up and walk to the bathroom. I brush y teeth and wash my face before heading downstairs
My mom and Zion are still here and everyone is standing around the table conversing
I walk over to them and they all look at me
"Someone was hibernating" Zion says and I frown
"What time is it" my voice creaks as I talk and I cough a little
"5:27"
Damn I was sleep for that long
"Okay so now that everyone is up" Desarea starts "I think we should move out" she says and I frown
"We're all gonna have babies soon so why not. I mean there's only so much space in here" sh reasons and I nod
"That is smart" I say reaching for Havyn
"We could move out to. There's too much space here and plus the workers can finish the other side of the house" Mateo says and I nod
"Yeah this house will be to big for just 3"
