Keisha's POVI rolled over and looked at Kole as he rubbed slow circles across my back."Kole... I know that whole prank package was supposed to be just a prank. I know you said it was a kid who dropped the box off and that it probably has something to do with Joel. But I'm sick of this shit."I let out a frustrated breath."He knows I'm pregnant and so does that little brother of his. So for them to pull something like this just to scare me?" I shook my head. "I'm done. Completely done. I'm reaching out to the State's Attorney because this is getting ridiculous."Kole sighed softly."I know, babe."His hand never stopped moving across my back as we lay in bed. It was almost midnight, and we had to be up early to head over to Knox's house.The barbecue had officially changed locations for what felt like the fifth time.Originally, it was supposed to be here, but once everyone started RSVPing, our backyard suddenly wasn't big enough. Then it was supposed to be at his parents' house sin

Shane's POVThe silence that followed my announcement only lasted a few seconds before Maya's mother stood so quickly her chair nearly tipped over.She reached for Maya's hands and immediately began speaking in rapid Spanish."Oh, mi amor, estás embarazada otra vez. Estoy tan feliz por ti; cuando el doctor dijo que no podrías tener hijos... y este ya es nuestro segundo milagro."Maya nodded through her tears."Sí... sí..."Before I knew it, the two of them were wrapped in each other's arms, both crying.I looked between them completely lost."I... uh..." I scratched the back of my neck. "I have absolutely no idea what y'all just said."Maya laughed through her tears before wiping at her eyes."My mom said she's so happy for me. She reminded me that when the doctors told me it'd be very difficult for me to have children, she never stopped praying. Now she's saying this is our second miracle."I smiled."Well...""I'd have to agree with her."I leaned over and kissed the side of Maya's

Keisha's POVSunday morning 10 A.M.We were supposed to be at Knox and Sienna's house around ten, maybe ten-thirty, because apparently being family meant showing up early enough to help cook, decorate, and set everything up.Today's event had somehow evolved into a barbecue, an extended wedding reception, a family reunion, and a "let everybody meet everybody" party all rolled into one.Honestly...I had stopped trying to keep track.My brother and sister were both in Chicago for the first time.Mama had been here several times already, especially after I had baby Mabel, but this was the first time everyone would be together with Kole's side of the family.Which meant...Chaos.Absolute chaos.The kids, surprisingly, weren't the problem. Every last one of them was dressed, fed, and ready.The adults?Lord, give me strength.Especially my sister. Misha was wearing every last nerve I had.Between flirting with my husband, openly checking out other men, and doing all of this while her own

Keisha's POVAs I walked back into the house, I found my best friend pacing the floor, absolutely fuming.Lord...Today was already turning into one hell of a day.My mom walked over, folding her arms."What happened now?"I rubbed my forehead and sighed."Mom... you need to talk to your daughter."She frowned."What happened?""I don't know if she's extra hormonal, if she's mad at Michael, or if she's just trying to burn her whole life down, but whatever this is..." I shook my head. "Today has been horrible."Mom let out a long breath and pulled me into the living room while Sienna continued pacing like she was ready to commit a felony.From down the hallway I could hear the kids banging away on toy instruments.I smiled."Well... nobody's crying, so I guess they're fine."Mom sat beside me on the couch.Just as she exhaled...Ding dong.Grandma Mabel moved toward the front door with surprising speed for a woman her age.She opened it.I couldn't help but grin."Maya!"Maya smiled an

Shane's POVAs Kole asked me to do him a favor and talk to Michael, I couldn't help but sigh.Out of everybody here...Me?I looked over at the man.He looked like he could crush a damn soda can with his pinky toe.I took a deep breath and let it out.I didn't know what was going on between him and his wife. Hell, I wasn't even sure Kole knew the full story. All he said was that I probably had the closest experience to whatever Michael was dealing with.Maybe his wife betrayed him. Maybe she cheated. Maybe she didn't. Who knew? I leaned down and kissed Maya. She smiled and gave my ass a playful smack.I laughed."I'll be back."She grinned."I know."I headed inside. The back foyer was empty.No Michael.I walked through the kitchen. Still nothing. Then I stepped into the living room. There he was. Sitting on the couch. Staring straight ahead. Like his mind was a million miles away. I cleared my throat."Hey, man."He looked over."My name's Shane. I didn't catch your na
