Trife Life To Lavish Part 2 Genesis & Genevieve...Am I My Brother's Keeper (30 page)

"Baby, you were supposed to be here hours ago," she
said putting the television on mute.

"Sorry, babe, but this new artist I got is a handful. Is
everything okay?"

"Everything is better than okay, especially since I'm
pregnant." Supreme's face lit up like the Christmas tree at
Rockefeller Center.

"Are you sure?"

"Positive! I took the home test and I went to the
doctor. We're having a baby!"

"Damn, I love you," Supreme yelled lifting Precious
off the bed and into his arms.

"Baby, wait a minute.. .isn't that Maya on TV."
Precious grabbed the television and turned up the
volume.

"That can't be true," Supreme said, putting Precious
down.

"Maya's conviction has been overturned and she's
going to be released on bail pending her new trial. What
the fuck!"

"Precious, calm down. You're pregnant and I don't
want you getting upset. I'll handle this."

"I guess Quentin made his choice and it damn sure
wasn't me."

"Fuck Quentin and Maya, you got me. If he knew
what was best for his daughter, he would make sure she
stays behind bars. But that's okay. They'll learn the hard
way.

Precious stared at Supreme and could read the
thoughts going through his head and none of it was good.
But Supreme was her husband and whatever he decided to
do she would not only back him up but be right by his side.
They were a family and the only people she cared about
protecting were him, the baby growing inside of her and
Aaliyah.

The Future

Aaliyah

Ring... ring... ring

"Hello."

"Mommy, it's me, Aaliyah." Precious glanced over at
the clock to see what time it was.

"Where are you and why are you calling so late?"
Precious wanted to know trying to snap out of her sleep.

"I've gotten myself in a bit of a situation."

"What sort of situation? And where are Amir and
Justina? I thought you were supposed to be with them
tonight?"

"I am...I mean I was but something came up."

"Cut the bullshit, Aaliyah. What the hell is going on?"

"I'm in jail and I need you to come get me out."

"Jail!" Precious screamed it out so loud that it awoke
Supreme from his sleep. "You're in jail!"

"Yes. And could you please not yell. I already have a
migraine headache as it is."

"Aaliyah, what are they charging you with?" Precious asked. She gripped the phone trying to stop herself from
wanting to reach through it and snatch her daughter up.

"First Degree Murder."
