Rome paced the holding cell, hands scratching his head. He'd
waited for years for the day, and he finally was inches away
from freedom. A loud buzz went off, and he stopped, watching as
a CO walked to the cell.
CO. You excited, ain't you?
Rome. Man, ready to go see my girl and my little boy.
CO. You got a little one?
Rome. Two. Little boys.
CO. Good luck with em, man.
Rome followed the CO to the front, signed himself out, and
picked up his bag of belongings before making his way out of the
jail. He grinned when his mother stood up from her car.
Rita. Ugh, my baby home!
Rome. Hey, ma.
Rome picked his mother up in an embrace as she hugged his neck.
Rita. I'm so happy you're out.
Rome smiled and looked in the backseat, his almost three year
old son Kareem happily playing in the backseat. Immediately, his
heart warmed as he reached for the baby boy.
Rome. Wassup, lil dude? Shit, you big.
Rome kissed his cheek, hugging him close.
Rita. I couldn't get Amiya on the phone, she's got a lot going
on.
Rome. I heard. MJ got arrested, that's all anybody talkin' bout.
Rita. What you gon' do?
Rome. I'ma go see her and Josiah.
Rita. Jerome...
Rome looked at his mother.
Rome. Ma, me and that girl been through too much for it to be
done.
Rita. Leave that girl alone. Focus on your sons, and let that
girl live.
Rome. You gon' take me or I gotta get somebody else to get me
there, mama? I ain't bout to argue over it.
Rita sighed and took Kareem, putting him back in his car seat.
Rome got in the car and glanced at the jail, vowing to never get
back there again.[/center]

Amiya smiled as she stood in the kitchen videotaping Josiah and
Aaliyah standing and dancing together.
Amiya. Ayyye! Go! Go! Go!
Aaliyah called out in excitement as Josiah laughed with her.
Josiah. Mama look!
Amiya. I see yall baby.
After a few more moments, the song cut off and Josiah took off
running from their dancing spot with still Aaliyah's hand.
Amiya. Jo no!
Josiah paused slightly, and Amiya realized that Aaliyah had run
with him. Josiah stopped and looked up at her slightly confused.
Amiya walked to them squatting to their level.
Amiya. You can't be running with her baby... -looks at Aaliyah-
Are you trying to walk now big girl?
Josiah let go of Aaliyah's hand and looked at her as she fell to
her butt shaking her head with a smile. Amiya stood up shaking
her head looking back at the video seeing the whole moment
replay.
Amiya. I already got you on camera..Ha.. -smile- Yo daddy is
gonna be so excited. I can't wait to tell him...
She smiled again looking at the video then she heard the oven
beep.
Amiya. Yall ready to eat?
Josiah. Yeap!
Aaliyah yelled out again and Amiya picked her up and sat her in
her highchair and pulled the pizza and wings out of the oven as
her father came around the corner.
Marcus. Oh.. That smell good...
Amiya. Wings and pizza.. You want some?
Marcus. I might get some in a minute.... What you got up for
today?
Amiya shook her head.
Amiya. Nothing really.. Just relaxing. No clients and I'm not
taking any either... -sigh- I'm tired...
Marcus. Damn.. I was gon ask you to do my hair...
Amiya cut her eyes at him as he smirked at her.
Marcus. MJ called you yet?
Amiya. Na... Not yet... He'll probably call later though.. Look
though.. Liyah ran with Jo and I got it on tape.
Amiya pulled out her phone again to show Marcus the picture, and
she realized she had a missed call from Rita.. "I'll call her
back in a minute." She proceeded to show Marcus the video she'd
just recorded of his grandchildren.

Rita pulled in front of the house and Rome took a pause, looking
around the neighborhood.
Rome. Amiya living like this?
Rita. She moved back in with Big Marcus and Monica after
everything happened.
Rome nodded and got out of the car. He got Kareem out of his car
seat safely as Rita got out.
Rita. Jerome, baby--
Rome. Ma, I told you you not stopping me, okay? I love you, but
you know how much this means to me.
Rita sighed and rubbed her temples as Rome made his way up the
steps and knocked on the huge doors. He smiled as Kareem played
with his toy keys. The door opened and Marcus stepped back.
Marcus. Oh shit, now! Wassup, boy?!
Rome. Hey, Pop.
Marcus and Rome embraced each other as Marcus laughed.
Marcus. Damn, you just getting out?
Rome. Yeah. This my other son Kareem.
Marcus. Come on in.
Marcus stepped aside and Rome walked into the house.
Josiah. Daddy!
Rome squatted down as Josiah ran from the kitchen and straight
into his arms. A wave of love crept over him in the first moment
he was able to hold both of his boys at the same time.
Josiah. I missed you!
Rome. I missed you too, baby. Daddy missed you so much.
Rome stood up when he seen Amiya step from the kitchen. She
stopped in her tracks when she seen him.
Rome. Hey, baby.[/center]

Amiya felt her heart drop to the pit of her stomach as she
looked at Rome. She hadn't seen him since he'd first gone to
jail. Once she found out he had a baby on the way, she cursed
him out real good and hung up on him almost 3 years ago. Now
here he was looking at her like everything was okay between
them. "I knew they was gon tell his ass where I stayed.."
Amiya. Hello Jerome.
She turned her attention to the two little boys that were now
looking at her.
Amiya. Hey Kareem.. You gettin big boy..
Kareem smiled at her as Jerome stood up again. Amiya looked over
at Marcus who had taken a seat on the couch. He looked like he
was waiting for a reaction from her, and she decided not to give
one at all.
Rome held a hand on each of the boys heads as he looked at
Amiya. Before he could say anything she turned on her heels and
walked back into the kitchen. "It was 3 years ago... We let that
hurt go.. He already know what it is... You good.."
She continued to bounce thoughts around in her head as she cut
the pizza. She felt a presence in the kitchen with her, and she
didn't even look back.
Rome. No hug or nothing?
She finished cutting the last slice then turned around to look
at him.
Amiya. What are you doing here?
Rome. I came to see yall..... I just got out.. Yall was my first
stop.
Amiya. Well Josiah is excited about you being here..
Amiya went into the fridge and pulled out some Watermelon for
Aaliyah and began to add it to a plate before taking a piece for
herself. She sat the plate in front of Aaliyah and looked over
at him again.
Amiya. Don't be gettin my baby hopes up Jerome...

Rome. I'm not, baby.
Amiya. Don't call me that.
Rome. You are my baby, Amiya.
She cut her eyes at him.
Rome. I ain't hear from you in 3 years, so you don't know how
good I been doing.
Amiya. You been in prison. How good can you do?
Rome. I passed my anger management courses. They taught me a
bunch of stuff. Meditation, all that. I met an OG in there who
taught me how to pray and talk to God.
Amiya. Good for you.
Rome. I got my degree in there, too.
Amiya looked at Rome.
Rome. Associate's, but it's a start, you know? I got it in
business administration. I'm gon' start a business.
Amiya. What business?
Rome. Food truck. I'ma kill the game with it, then make enough
to open up my own restaurant in a year, two tops.
They stared at each other and Rome sighed.
Rome. I don't expect you to uproot your life for me, Amiya.
Shit, for all I know you got a man already and you're moving on.
Amiya. So then why you want to talk to me?
Rome. Because I miss you. I miss us. We was friends, Amiya,
before all the craziness I brought at you. You ain't gotta speak
to me again if you don't want to, I fucked up.
Rome shrugged.
Rome. I don't know what I was hoping. I'm just glad you didn't
stab me or nothing.[/center]

Amiya. I'm still thinkin about it...
Amiya looked at him as he smirked slightly. She shook her head
and folded her arms. He was right that they were friends first
and they had good times as well as bad times like any other
couple. The straw that broke the camels back was his affair that
resulted in Kareem, and even though she had nothing but love for
the baby. She realized the man wasn't hers to keep, and she
accepted it even though it was a hard pill to swallow.
Amiya. -sigh- I don't have any beef with you though... I've
already said my peace and I've made my peace too.. You a hoe...
Rome sucked his teeth as he looked at her and she shrugged.
Amiya. It is what it is..
Rome. Why I gotta be all that?
Amiya. Cause you are but that's okay..
They looked at each other for a moment and she looked back at
Aaliyah as she ate the watermelon. Before anything else could be
said, Kareem and Josiah were walking into the kitchen.
Amiya. You ready to eat?
Josiah nodded and Amiya looked at Kareem.
Amiya. You want some pizza too?
Kareem nodded and Amiya went to fix both of their plates and sat
them at the table as Rome began interacting with Aaliyah while
she ate.
Rome. Who's baby?
Amiya. MJ and Brandy's.. I'm holdin babygirl down right now
though..
Rome nodded.
Rome. If can't nobody else.. You can.. I heard what happened..
Yall going to trial?
Amiya nodded.
Amiya. Na.. -sigh- He signed a deal to keep me and everybody
else out the way of it..
Rome. Damn..
Amiya nodded and they looked at each other again.
Amiya. So what? Are you on probation or something? Or you a real
free man out here?

Rome. Free and clear, bab--Amiya...
Amiya nodded.
Rome. I wanted to see where all this was before I made a
decision.
Amiya. What you mean?
Rome. My last year up in there, I was wondering if Carver City
is where I need to be. I can't be away from my sons, but this
city toxic as hell.
Amiya. So, you wanted to see where what was?
Rome. Me and you. See if my mama was straight. See what would
happen if I decided to leave, how was I gon' handle my boys
being here.
Amiya looked at him.
Amiya. You weren't gon' try to take them?
Rome. If I had a reason to. Don't get me wrong, I would still
make every effort to see them, but y'all doing good raising
them. I wouldn't want to rip them from y'all like that.
Amiya. When you planning on going?
Rome. Soon as possible. I got a in Ventura that'll put me onto
his food truck.
Amiya. Ventura is far.
Rome nodded.
Rome. I know, but ain't nothing left here for me other than my
sons. They just a flight away, and I want to make sure I'm the
man they deserve. I can't do that in Carver City.
Rome looked as Josiah looked at him.
Josiah. Daddy, you leaving?
Rome smiled.
Rome. Daddy ain't gon ever abandon you, lil dude. Or your
brother, or your mama. Keep eating.
He folded his arms and looked at Amiya.
Rome. My plan, if it was possible, was to get you out there with
me. I see that ain't gon' fly, though.[/center]

Amiya looked at Rome and shook her head. "Who does he think he
is? Thinkin I'm supposed to just run back to him so I can be
stuck looking stupid again."
Amiya. I can't do that... I got a dude now... And I'm.. I got
some other stuff going on... I don't even like you like that...
Rome continued to look at her. Before he could respond, they
heard Monica as she walked into the kitchen.
Monica. Jerome?!
Rome looked over and smiled at Monica as he opened his arms to
her. They both hugged and she released taking a good look at
him.
Monica. Look at you boy..
They hugged again as Amiya smirked slightly.
Monica. Welcome back..
Rome. Thank you ma...
Monica looked between he and Amiya and then she turned her
attention to Aaliyah pulling her out of her highchair.
Monica. Did you get that stuff I told you to get?
Amiya. Not yet... I'm gonna order it tomorrow..
Monica. Alright.. That's on you... I don't wanna hear your
mouth...
Amiya shook her head and Monica made her way over to see the
boys speaking to both of them. Amiya looked back at Rome as he
stared at her. She felt him looking through her, and for the
first time since they'd been talking she was starting to feel
exposed.
Rome. I figured you have somebody... You a good woman..
Amiya nodded and looked off as she began to clean Aaliyah's high
chair. "Dont look at him no more.... Just don't even do it.."

Rome. You are, Amiya.
Amiya. Thank you.
Rome shook his head, trying to prevent himself from looking at
her shape. She was much thicker than he imagined she would be.
Rome. Who is he? If you don't mind me asking you.
Amiya. His name is Josh.
Rome. Josh.
He nodded. Amiya paused when he didn't respond and glanced at
him quickly.
Amiya. What?
Rome. I didn't say anything, Amiya. Don't mind me. Just being
jealous.
Amiya. Jealous?
Rome. Yeah. I always thought the second would be mine.
Amiya turned immediately and squared herself on him, and he
chuckled.
Rome. You forgetting I watched you pregnant once already?
Amiya. You can't--
Rome. I'm not tripping. I'm hurt, but I ain't tripping. Okay?
Rome stood up from the counter.
Rome. I'll find a better time to come through so we can talk
about everything, I know me popping up wasn't what you had in
mind for your day.
Rome picked Kareem up and looked at Amiya.
Rome. You mind if I take Jojo with me tonight? I'm keeping
Kareem and I really wanna spend time with both of them together.
Amiya. That's fine, where you gon' be?
Rome. My mama house. I'll bring him back tomorrow.
Josiah lit up at the thought of spending time with Rome, and it
warmed his heart right up. It was the perfect pick me up he
needed to counteract his hurt at Amiya moving on so far from
him.
Amiya. Come help me get your bag together, Jojo.
Josiah jumped from the table and ran upstairs with Amiya close
behind. Rome played with Kareem until he seen Monica walk in and
he smiled at her.
Monica. You okay?
Rome. I wish I wouldn't have messed up so badly. Wish I could
have come back to her and Jojo and we would have been a family.
But, that's my fault. I messed up. Gotta eat that one, you
know?[/center]

Monica. Trust me.. I know.. When you mess up you gotta deal with
the repercussions..
Monica took a seat at the table and smiled sweetly at Kareem as
he laid on Rome's chest then she turned her attention to Jerome.
She had been knowing him since he and her kids were in high
school, so she felt like she watched him grow up too. While
watching he and Amiya interact, she couldn't help but be
reminded of her and Marcus in their early days.
Monica. You never really know what you have until its gone..
Rome nodded as Monica thought back to the different times Amiya
had confided in her about their relationship, the good, the bad,
and the ugly. She also remembered how odd Amiya's energy was
when she first walked into the kitchen. She could tell there was
something weird with Amiya going on, but she didn't know if it
was because of Rome or her hormones.
Monica. If it's meant to be it'll circle back around though..
Rome looked at her.
Rome. You think so?
Monica nodded.
Monica. I do... God don't make no mistakes.. All we gotta do is
trust the process..
Monica looked up at Amiya and Josiah as they walked back into
the kitchen with a backpack.
Monica. Ohh. Noo. Is my big boy leaving me?
Josiah smiled and nodded proudly.
Josiah. I'm goin with my daddy!
Monica. Oh yeah?
Josiah nodded again with a big smile.
Monica. Well. Come around here and give me my hugs and kisses
before you leave...
Josiah ran to her and she hugged him tight and kissed all over
his face while he laughed.

Amiya smirked at Josiah and Monica as she finished kissing him.
Amiya. He'll be back tomorrow mama..
Monica. So? This my baby...
Amiya shook her head as Monica stood up from her seat patting
Rome on his back.
Monica. You stay out of trouble you hear?
Rome. Yes ma'am..
Monica and Amiya made eye contact as Monica walked out of the
kitchen. Jerome stood up from his seat while he held Kareem in
his arms. He picked up Josiah as well and they both made their
way to the front door.
Marcus. Don't be no stranger now...
Rome. Oh na.. Never that... Always fam.
Amiya shook her head as she walked outside. Once they were
outside he sat both of the boys on the ground.
Amiya. Give me a hug and kisses..
Amiya handed the backpack to Jerome and squatted down to
Josiah's level. He hugged Amiya's and kissed her cheek and
Kareem followed suit to her surprise, so she hugged them both,
then they took off running to the car as Rita's door popped
open. Amiya watched as Rita hugged Josiah.
Rita. Hey Miya!
Amiya. Hey Miss Rita..
Amiya turned her attention to Jerome and they looked at each
other.
Amiya. He's allergic to peanuts and...
Rome. And soy.... I know... I remember..
Amiya. I packed him some benadryl too and some cough medicine..
Rome smirked at her.
Rome. Ima take care of him... I got him..
Amiya looked at Jerome again and she took a deep breath. Amiya
knew Jerome was a lot of things, and among those things, he was
a good father.
Amiya. Okay.. Well.. I'm glad you're back.. For Jo.. And.. I'm
proud of you too..
Rome smirked at her and she went to give him a one armed hug,
but he wrapped his arms around her anyways, and they ended up in
a full hug...
... Amiya watched Rita drive off, and she paused as she saw what
looked like a familiar car out of the corner of her eye. She did
a double take, and the car was gone. "Bitch. You trippin.. You
so sleepy you seeing shit... And now Jo aint gon interrupt your
nap.."
Before long, Amiya had climbed in her bed and curled up with a
napping Aaliyah while her phone was on charge. She was going to
rest her eyes while she waited on MJ to call. At this point, he
was the only person she wanted to talk to, and for some unknown
reason, she felt like he could help her sort out the way she
felt.
END SCENE
