Changed By A Thug Sequel

Chapter Two - She Can't Know.

Nova's P.O.V

Getting up from bed this morning after a long seven hours nap I quickly made my way downstairs an' into the kitchen to get started on breakfast.

Even though I was told to stay in bed for the remainder of my pregnancy I couldn't dare - I was the only one able to provide for my family an' was determined to keep them all happy.

It was finally the weekend an also a day we all sat down for breakfast as a family so doing this was important to me.

As I began preparing all six plates the ringing of my cellphone interrupted my actions.

"What." I picked up my phone answering it angrily.

"Nova?" A smooth, deep voice called out through the phone. "Damn - who made you mad?"

"What is it Trey - I'm busy."

"Rach said we need to talk? What's up with you?"

I sighed lightly thinking of all my thoughts.

"Can we meet up?" I quickly questioned. "It's important."

Even though Rach an' I were the best of friends I'd rather let Trey know what was on my mind at that moment before she could ever find out. Rach an' Mell were blood - I was just there by law so
I never knew if she would run back to her brother letting him know everything I had told her .. Even if I trusted her.

"Where?" He finally spoke interrupting my thoughts.

"Here - At my place." I quickly replied. "Mell's leaving for work at 10."

"Iight - I'll be there."

I then quickly disconnected the call feeling someone's presence behind me.

"Who was that?" I heard Mell's smooth voice ask out loud.

"Just Mama." I shrugged with a small smile formed against my lips. "She wanted to be sure that I did as Doctor Johnson said an' stayed in bed."

"Why aren't you in bed?" He questioned a second time. "Your feet are completely swollen Nova - I could've made us all breakfast baby."

"No." I pulled away from him as he made his way towards me while holding onto my hand. "I'm okay - Why can't everyone see it."

"Your not okay." He argued.

"Mell--"

"Sit." He quickly demanded while helping me wobble towards our breakfast table. "I'll go get the kids - I don't need you getting up for anything."

"Bu--"

"Naw Nova - Cut that shit out, don't move just eat."

Lightly sighing while watching as he walked away I looked down realizing my stomach had grown so much that even if I tried noticing my swollen feet I couldn't.

I wondered - Was I putting my child's life at risk.

"Hey Mama!" I heard a few soft, yet loud voices yell out causing me to jump a little.

"Did we scare you?" Car'Mello asked as he placed a soft kiss against my cheek followed my Halo, Hala an' Nola.

"You did." I lightly giggled thinking back.

"You cooked?" Hala questioned.

"Duhh." Halo quickly jumped in. "We all know daddy sucks at cooking."

Everyone laughed as Mell looked towards us a bit confused.

"I thought you liked my cooking?" Mell questioned.
