Over Him... (Sort Of)

JADA POV

"She's so cute!" My dad smiled. Once he laid eyes on Gianna he melted. She was in his arms just not fussing. Just seeing them two together made me smile. "My goodness she's is cute" he said.

"Sounds like someone will be spoiling her very soon" I joked.

"Who you telling? I already made a room for her. Got toys and I even decorated it too" he said.

"You can't be serious?!" I asked.

"Go check" he said. Not believing what he just said. I had to go investigate. Opening my old room and he was right. It was a pink wall, with her name above the crib. Toya everywhere. Even a huge teddy in the corner. Wow! He went all out.

Walking back... "damn".

"That's all you can say?" He asked.

"I mean that in a good way. Wasn't expecting all of that" I said. Glancing at Gianna who was looking at me but she was comfortable.

"You know if your mother was here she would be so proud of you" he said. I didn't respond. Not sure what to even say. "So how's Chris responding to being a father?".

I shrugged "he has a lot of learning to do when he's around though".

He nodded "make sure he know babies grow very fast. Before he realizes she's starting school... after that she'll be graduating high school. He doesn't want to miss out on precious time with her now. As she grows up she won't want to hang out with him".

He had a point "true".

"Also, it's an unfortunate situation that brought this baby into this world. Remember she's always first" he continued.

"I know, Gianna is my first priority" I said.

"Good" he smiled.

We didn't stay long. Packing Gianna up and we went home. It was nice to see my dad. Walking from my car to the door... feeling for my keys in my bag. But a junky bag doesn't help. Placing the car seat down. Finally retrieving the damn keys I went to open the door.

Now I'm not sure what made me turn around. Maybe it was a feeling I got but I did. Seeing Paula's brother walking towards me. I instantly stood in front of Gianna's car seat. "I'm not here to hurt you. I came to say congrats on the baby" he smiled.

"Right... thanks" I said.

"Do I make you nervous?" He asked.

"Umm... no! Just wasn't expecting you to be here" I lied.

"Oh good! Is that the baby?" He pointed to the car seat.

"Yeah but she's sleeping" I lied.

"Oh! Paula was hurt about what happened. She doesn't mean to come off as someone who doesn't care. She does!" He said.

"Look, I don't care if you are here to stick up for your sister. You said what you had to say... so you can leave now" I said. He made a sneer but stood there rubbing his chin just staring at me. Turning around I quickly opened the door but felt the door being shut. Quickly moving myself but I was pinned with his body weight "you know I'm tired... tired of being nice to you. When you just disregard anything I say!".

My mind was going through so many scenarios. I could respond but it'll make the problem worse.

"Jada! You are so pretty!" He whispered. Feeling his breath on my ear made me shiver in disgust. "Pretty just like your mother. Too bad she killed herself. Wasted beauty!".

Kicking him with my heel in his groin. He instantly dropped to the floor screaming. Grabbing the car seat I flew that door open and I ran on the elevator. Panting while making sure Gianna was okay. Once I got to my apartment I made sure all the locks were on.

My phone went off... of course it's Chris.

"Hello?" Still panting.

"Jada? Why are you breathing so hard? You okay? I mean I know you are still trying to lose the baby weight but don't overdo it" he said.

"You idiot... Paula brother just assaulted me! In the parking garage! I kicked him in the groin. Last time I checked he was on the floor yelling in pain" I said.

"WHAT THE FUCK?!...IM ON THE WAY!" He said.

Sure enough Chris was here less than ten minutes. Banging loudly on my door "Jada open up!". Opening the door "just break the door down". He stormed in looking around and then looked me over "did he hurt you?!".

Shaking my head "but he pinned me to the door. While just being a damn creep!. Do you know I took like three showers trying to get his smell off of me?!".

Chris hugged me "I knew this would happen".

"He's psycho!" I said.

"He didn't touch Gianna, right? Cause homeboy is asking for a death sentence" he said.

"No! My first instinct was to protect her" I said.

"This is why I wanted you to stay with me. It's not safe here. He's going to come back again. And who knows what he'll do" he said.

"So stay here with us" I said.

"Come to my house. He won't dare come there. If we stay here... he'll be back. And I can't always be around. But you stay with me I know he won't make his presence. I'll even get a dog. It'll bite his ass so quick" he said.

"One thing at a time" I said.

"I know I don't show it as much but it would kill me inside if something was to happen to you or Gianna. Especially if I wasn't there to protect you both. Please just pack up a suitcase or something and stay with me for a while. Until this dies down" he said.

Pulling my head back from his chest "Aww you care about us".

"Jada? Go pack" he smiled.

"Only for a while..." I warned. He shooed me away "pack". I sighed "fine". This should be interesting.
