“Got it.” He noted it as we kept moving for the exit.

Phillip didn’t seem like an issue, but I barely knew shit about him other than what I researched. He didn’t mean any good to Eris or Levi. Dead-end job ass mothafucka. He wanted Levi because it’ll lead to a bag for him. That was the wrong move because Eris wasn’t ever going back there. I don’t even know what she saw in the nigga, for real.

“Thank you, Dad,” Levi said.

“Always.”

We exited the shopping center and headed for the car. I was leaving this behind me until it was brought up. I didn’t need Levi traumatized when Eris had spent a lot of time making sure to keep this away from their doorstep. Phillip thought he was about to scar my family after I put in work to get them to see anew, nah. Not on my watch. It’ll be him before me.

When we arrived at the house, Eris was in the kitchen cooking.

“How are my special men today?”

“We’re good. How are you, Mommy?” Levi answered.

“I’m better now that you’re here.”

“Daddy told a man who said he was my dad that I was his son.”

Eris looked over at me.

“Are you alright, Levi?”

“He’s good.”

“Yes, security didn’t let him get me.”

She hugged him. “Good. I’m glad you’re alright. I love you.”

“Love you too, Mommy.”

“Go find your auntie and get washed up for dinner.”

Levi took off towards the back.

“Phil? He saw him?”

I grabbed a bottle of water from the fridge and turned around to her.

“Yeah.”

“What happened?”

“Just what he said. He tried to get to him, and I shut that shit down.”

She rushed into me, wrapping her arms around me.

“I’m sorry you had to go through that. I wish his ass would go away.”

“It’s cool. I said what I said.”

She exhaled heavily.

I turned her around and grabbed her from behind. “How you and my baby been doing?”

“I’ve been gassy all day. They’ve been active.”
