Da Da’s funeral was packed with the typical people you have when a street soldier falls victim to The Game. Fainting family members everywhere, baby mama’s trying to fight one another. Instead of grieving for the headless corpse lying in the bronze casket.
A week after the funeral Da Da’s head was found in the trunk of his car behind the rock quarry in Lilesville, NC outside
Wadesboro. Da Da’s mother couldn’t go through another service, so she had his body exhumed and placed his head with the rest of him.
Kiki
“Hurry up Q, the contractions are nine minutes apart” yelled Van.
“I’m going twenty-five miles over the speed limit now.”
“Calm her down, said Q. “You have to keep her calm.”
Van continued to relax Kiki as much as she could. “Kiki just relax and breath like you did in class.”
“Fuck the class, this shit hurts” Kiki yelled.
At the hospital the doctors were already waiting for Kiki to arrive. Her contractions were now three minutes apart. She was in labor. Van went into the delivery room while Q waited restlessly out front.
Four hours, thirty minutes later he walked in Kiki’s room and held his godson for the first time.
Kiki broke down when she saw the tears rolling down Q’s face. She had never seen him show emotions before. Wrapping her arms around him Van spoke.
“She named him Umar Jr. Isn’t that beautiful Q?”
“Yeah ma, he looks just like my nigga.”
Lil Umar weighed 8 pounds and 4 ounces. Kiki’s room was almost full with blue balloons and cards from all of Kiki’s and Umar’s family and friends. Reading all of the cards made Q think of his own family. He never involved them in his lifestyle. After his mother and father divorced they still remained good friends. His siblings, which consisted of two sisters, were his heart. Fucking with any of them was a good way to die.
The opening of the door snapped Q back from his thoughts. The whole crew walked in Kiki’s room. “What’s up everybody?”
It was Big Kev speaking. June, Corey, Fat Dave, and Pooh, all had more balloons.
“Where is Lil Umar?” Fat Dave yelled at Kiki. Still weak she was only able to smile.
“She’s very tired,” said Van. “You can see Lil’ Umar through the window in the incubator room.”
They all exited at one time, headed to see the new member of the family. Kiki was asleep before the door closed behind them. Rubbing her Van spoke, “She has to get some rest Q. Lil Umar took a lot out of her.”
“Yeah,” Q. responded, “She looks exhausted.”
“I’ll keep a check on her while I’m here during my work hours,” Van said.
“Aiight ma, call me on your break.”
