It's my big sisters cake day, so without further or due— let's get into her birthday chapter! Happy Birthday Brooke! Love ya whore! <3 BJGnovellas

Ember

"So... This baby, can not happen." I announced to my sisters suddenly.

Kyrin looked up at me from her desk quickly and Phoebes head shot up from her phone. Ky stuttered. "E-Excuse me?"

"Baby inside of me." I pointed to my stomach as I shook my head. "Not happening."

"Are you saying what we think you saying?" Phoebe asked me.

I nodded. "Yeah. I am. I never wanted kids, you guys know that."

"Okay. Wait." K put her hand up. "I need you to think this through. You are killing a baby, that Joey and Juliette will probably lay a red carpet out for. I understand that it will be your first child and you're scared, but you are nothing like our mother nor your father. You will bet those damn odds. Plus it's not always worth it E, I had that abortion and I've never had a successful pregnancy since."

"I agree with Ky, you could want a child later on and not be able to conceive. Lord forbid, but what if you and Joey and Juliette don't work out and you move on to someone else. Maybe you'll want kids then. I just think you shouldn't jump the gun right now."

My mind was made up about it. Joey and Juliette wanted this baby but I didn't. I didn't want this baby. I couldn't raise a baby... I barely had good role models! I had to raise my damn self dang near.

"Ember look, I know you're strong minded and it's probably no changing your mind... but sis, that baby deserves a chance." Kyrin mumbled.

"You didn't give yours a chance." I shot out.

Phoebe interjected. "Now that's not fair and you know it. Don't do that Em."

Kyrin shook her head. "No... it's okay Phoebe. Let her say what's on her mind. Continue."

"I'm just saying Kyrin, you didn't give yours a chance."

"You think I had a choice?"

"You didn't?" I questioned her.

She scoffed softly. "Sis, if I had a choice, my child would be right here with me today. I didn't have a choice in that. It was mind over matter. Common sense kicked in before anything else. I was raped, it would be hard looking at that child but I knew I could do it. I just didn't know if I could look at my child and tell them that I didn't know exactly who their father was. It would be hard because daddy was working— barely keeping us fed and with a roof over our head. Momma wasn't doing much at the time. We had to fend for ourselves half the time... and adding a baby to that wasn't a good thing. I thought mines out. I had no choice."

"You're right." I mumbled. "My bad. I'm sorry."

"It's nothing to be sorry over and it's nothing to be right or wrong about." Kyrin replied as she began doing something on her computer. "I'm not upset about it, I just need you to think it through. Lord knows Langston's heart broke when the doctors told him that I had miscarried and would possibly never be able to have kids."

"Shit... it took us all by surprise honestly." Phoebe spoke and I nodded in agreement. She looked at me. "Look, my little niece or nephew is coming into this world. So please, at least think about it some more. Talk to Juliette and Joey if you have to. Maybe think about adoption if you aren't ready to raise a child but I know you would be a great mother. Hell look at Kyrin, she loves Eissa. Is a great mother in fact. You got options and a choice. Don't pick wrong."

"And don't do something you think you'll soon regret. Cause if I could take it back I would." Kyrin mumbled to me but her eyes stayed on her screen as she began typing.

My phone buzzed and I looked down at it momentarily.

Juliette Hey, I made lunch for you and the baby. Coming home?

Looking back up at my sisters, I pouted suddenly. "I don't wanna be babied and they are gonna start babying me."

"Girl, put that pride to the side and get pampered. I mean sure you need to be careful, but as long as the baby is alright I don't see why it would be a problem." Ember told me.

Kyrin chuckled. "Lord knows when Janet babies me it gets on my nerves but I just take it. My baby don't be meaning no harm. You just gotta learn to love it. We just not used to it, that's all."

"Speaking of my sister in law. Where is she?" I asked.

"She has a interview for her tour. Well... about 4 interviews for her tour. All in one day, so I probably won't see her til later tonight, nor will you be seeing Joey." Ky mumbled back.

"Ou, I forgot to tell you guys. Tiffany did some type of date night yesterday. She didn't even cuss me out the entire time. Handed me cash and told me to go get whatever I needed and then meet her at the house. She had set everything up real cute. It was nice." Ember commented.

"And you gave her some... didn't you?" Kyrin asked her as she eyed her. "And don't lie bih, cause you limping more than our grandma did in her last days."

I shook my head. Ember always did this shit in relationships. She forgave the person too easily and half the time ended up hurt more than the first time. She was a closed off person and yeah blunt and mean as hell, but that was only protecting her gushy and vulnerable inside. She gave people the world and that in itself was a dangerous thing to do. Tiffany took advantage of that and it showed and still does show. I just don't like that woman all the way yet.

Phoebes hurt ass sat in that bed and cried her eyes out. For days. Kyrin and I stayed at her side... more so making sure the pills in her suitcase for cramps didn't put a twinkle in her eye. Tiffany cried but Phoebe bawled. And even though Phoebe said she explained it to Tiff— nobody can truly explain what their heart break feels like. It's different feelings. Maybe you feel it shatter— maybe you feel it burst. Some may even say they felt it edge away and some say they never had one because they knew that love was nothing but a curse.

"You give a person temporary love and they'll always feel empty but if you teach them the importance of love— they'll never be in need again." I mumbled out.

Kyrin nodded at me. "Exactly."

Phoebe looked between us. "What does that mean?"

"It means you need to figure out which type of love you're receiving and decide something P." I answered her.

"Decide what?" She was truly lost.

I got up as I gathered my purse, phone and keys. "That's for you to figure out for yourself. I have to go though. Bye sissy's!"

"Bye whore." Kyrin replied as she waved me off. "Drive safe and please let us know when you get to your destination."

"Yeah please do." Phoebe agreed as I walked out the door.

"Will do." I mumbled as I left. Walking out the office, I saw that Kyrin's assistant was on the phone but quickly hung up when I was walking past.

"Hey!" She called out before I could leave fully. Stopping, I turned back to her. "You're Ember right? Kyrin's sister?"

"Yeah. And you are?" I hadn't met her before, I just knew of her.

She smiled at me coyly. "I'm Joy, Kyrin's assistant and old roommate. Do you happen to know where Kyrin's staying? The boards trying to surprise her for her birthday in a few weeks and I know she moved so—."

"So why can't you just ask her yourself?" I could spot bullshit a mile away and this woman was full of it.

Joy chuckled softly. "Because that would ruin the surprise."

"Sure." I replied as I turned back around and headed for my exit. Stopping, I faced her again. "Let's get something clear, just because I haven't met you doesn't mean I don't know about you. I see you don't like verbal warnings, but I'm going to advise you clearly. You fuck with my sister and you fucking with me. I'm not Janet. I don't have shit to lose and I only got a little to live for. Watch yo moves little girl. You don't wanna move too loud and get fucked up for it. Now have a nice day love, stay blessed."

Leaving the building, I walked and got into my vehicle. Starting it, I backed out and headed towards Joey and Juliette's. The drive was short due to them literally living down the block and on the corner. Parking, I got out and grabbed my things as I walked into the house.

When I made it in the house, I noticed the lights were dimmed. Joey isn't here. I noticed things about the two, and Joey always would rather lights on, soft and slow yet his wife was the opposite. She would rather lights dim, rough and sensual and I wasn't complaining about either.

"Julie! Where you at?" I called out as I dropped my things on the dresser by the door. Footsteps came my way, a heel clicking against the wood floors of the home. Juliette stepped in front of me and my heart beat sped up. "Damn."

She wore a tight red dress that showcased every curve on her body. Her heels were nude and her hair pulled up in a ponytail. She smiled softly as she asked. "Do you like it? I ordered it off of—. Mm."

My lips cut her off as I kissed her. Her hands wrapped tightly around my waist as she pulled me into her some more. Her tongue invaded my mouth and I didn't even fight for dominance. Juliette always ran the show. She pulled away and held her hand out for me to take.

I took it and she went to pull me towards the bedroom but I stopped her. "Wait, I'm hungry though."

She turned around and chuckled. "You can eat desert first baby."

Shit, that's all she had to say.

Nodding, I motioned her forward. "Say less, lead the way."

"You wore that to where again?" Juliette asked me as we entered the bedroom and she her eyes swept over my outfit.

"Oh just to the school to talk with Kyrin and Phoebe. That's all."

"Mhm. Better be all." She commented back lowly. Juliette was a jealous woman sometimes, but it seemed to only happen in reference to me. She was possessive of me and me only because Joey walked around doing whatever he wanted.

I didn't reply to her for she had began to strip out of her dress in front of me. Instinctively, I bit my lips and squeezed my thighs together. When the dress hit the floor, she stepped out of it and I pulled her to the bed as I took a seat on the edge making her stand in front of me.

"You're bad. You know that right?" I asked as I laid kisses on her stomach.

"Mm. Only for you though." She moaned back as I hit down into her stomach some. My fingers went to her panties and she stepped back some. "Wait. Wait. I have to show you something."

She left before I could object and I took a deep breath as I sat back on the mattress and waited. When she walked back in she was holding an envelope. My face furrowed as she head it out to me and I grabbed it.

I muttered as I went to open it. "I don't get a hint as to what's inside? Orange envelopes make me nervous."

"No baby, just open it." J replied to me. Pulling the papers out of it, the first page did nothing for me information wise, but the second page made my heart stop beating, my breathing hitch for a good 3 minutes, and all urge of sex fly out the window. "So baby... what do you think?"

Hesitating, I barely got the words out. "I— I um. I love it."

Shit Ember. You're deep in this one now.
