Chapter 51

YOUR P.O.V.

Diggy- *goes in the kitchen* *opens the fridge* Babe, we got anythin to eat?

Y/N- *looks over* Dig, don’t worry, I’ll cook your favourite tonight *smiles*

Diggy- *looks up* Really?

Y/N- Really.. go and chill, I’ll take care of you baby.

Diggy- *goes upstairs*

Y/N- *looks at Jasmine* Alright, let’s settle this

Jasmine- I just.. want my daughter back.

Y/N- You know what I want? I want her to be a part of both your lives. Seriously.You’re both great parents..

Jasmine- I have everything right, my whole life is fine..

Y/N- Your house? Is your house ready to be a home for an eight year old?

Jasmine- it is. I've been trying so hard Y/N, I just want her back.. for more than a day. I wanna be with her like I used to be. I wanna be her mommy. I feel like I'm not even that anymore. You’d understand what being a mom is like..

Y/N- *looks at her*

Jasmine- Imagine Diggy taking your son from you just like that.. for days, weeks.. months. I missed her eighth birthday because he wouldn't let me see her. He blamed me for what happened before.

Y/N- I blame you too.

Jasmine- You don’t blame him?

Y/N- Of course I do. But he was man enough to apologise for his mistakes. He promised it would never happen again.. but you never said a thing, you just let it happen, ran away and crept to Jermaine’s and then Diggy’s so they’d feel sorry for you. But you forgot one thing..

Jasmine- *folds her arms* You slept with them both?

Y/N- *balls her fist* You know what, I really thought I’d be able to settle this like adults, but I was wrong, you’re still a bitch. Get out.

Jasmine- I’m not leaving without my daughter.

Y/N- You’re leaving with or without a slap across your face, get the fuck out.

Jasmine- *turns to you* Doesn’t it make you insecure? That all that time he cheated on you with me, you were just there thinking it’s all perfect. He wanted me and he wanted to betray and humiliate you. And he’ll do it again.

Y/N- You’re still hung up about it huh? You’re jealous that he didn’t really want you, but you were a fantasy in his head.. something temporary that until he gets his mind straight. Well guess what, we’re engaged now, we have a child now and you need to get out. Now. Just because I have my son in my arms doesn’t mean I won’t slap a bitch. Trust me, you don’t wanna catch these hands.

Jasmine- *shoves you* Try me..

Y/N- *laughs and scoffs* Well.. well.. Diggy!!

Diggy- *comes downstairs* Yeah?

Y/N- Take Malik please, he needs to sleep and me and Miss Jasmine need to sort this out

Diggy- *takes him* *walks upstairs*

Y/N- *grabs Jasmine’s hair* *throws her across the floor*

Diggy- *turns around* Y/N! What the..

Jasmine- *grabs your leg* *pulls you down* *climbs on top of you and hits you*

Y/N- *chokes her* *throws her to the side* *slaps her face*

Jasmine- *screams* *grabs you from behind and covers your mouth and nose*

Y/N- *elbows her in the stomach repeatedly* *pushes her backward against the wall*

Jasmine- *pushes you off*

Y/N- *grabs her hair and wrestles her to the ground*

Diggy- *runs to put Malik in his high chair*

Jermaine- *comes through the door with Sia* We’re ba.. *pauses and sees you both fighting* What the hell is going on?!

Sia- Mommy!!

Jasmine- *looks up* Sia.. baby, I’m he..

Y/N- *slaps her* *pushes her to the floor*

Sia- *screams and cries*

Y/N- *looks at Sia and stops* Babygirl...

Jasmine- *holds her face* *sees blood on her hands* You crazy psycho bitch.

Y/N- *turns to her* Did I not warn you bout these hands!?

Jermaine- That’s enough. Right now!

Diggy- Seriously. What the fuck, I thought y’all were talking?

Y/N- This bitch took it too far

Jermaine- Jasmine, get the fuck out of my house.

Jasmine- I’m not leaving without my baby.

Jermaine- *holds Sia behind his leg* You’re not taking her anywhere. She stays here. Diggy’s gonna be here from now on and we’re gonna sort this shit out.

Jasmine- I want my daughter back Jermaine!

Jermaine- Then you don’t come in my house attacking my family. You leave, right now or I’m calling the police

Jasmine- And what are they gonna do about two black girls fighting huh? You tell me, cause whatever happens, I’m not going without Sia and they damn well wouldn’t let me either.

Jermaine- *looks at Diggy*

Diggy- *sighs* Fine.

Jermaine- Sia, go to mommy..

Sia- *runs to her mom*

Jasmine- *hugs her tight* Baby, I’ve missed you... *glares at Diggy* 

Jermaine- *escorts them out the house*

Diggy- *looks at you* You okay? You got a lil blood on you..

Y/N- I’m fine. *wipes her lip*

Jermaine- Y’all gotta sort this shit out. I’m done playing guardian. Dan, you gotta be here for your daughter

Diggy- But I’m way out in London, how the..

Jermaine- Doesn’t matter. you gotta sort it.

Diggy- *looks at you* Our flight leaves in a few days tho babe..

Y/N- *shrugs* You have to sort this. *walks up to the bathroom*

Jermaine- I swear y’all just bring too much drama *shakes his head*

*that night*

DIGGY’S P.O.V.

Y/N- No Dig.. *wriggles away from him*

Diggy- *sits up in the bed* What, what did I do?

Y/N- Nothing..

Diggy- Well if it’s nothing then lemme just.. *reaches for you*

Y/N- *shuffles away* No. Seriously, no. I’m not in the mood right now.

Diggy- Babe.

Y/N- Diggy.

Diggy- Is this about earlier? Cause I’ll fix it..

Y/N- *rolls eyes* Sure. 

Diggy- I swear. Please don’t be like this.

Y/N- I just want you and your ex to sort out the custody of your daughter, And I don’t wanna come between when we have our own son to take care of

Diggy- I know bu..

Y/N- Diggy. You stay here. I’ll go back to London with Malik, you gotta sort it out here, you can’t do it across the world.

Diggy- *kisses you* Okay. *tries to feel up your leg*

Y/N- *grabs his hand* No. *gets in bed* Goodnight.  *turns the light out*

Diggy- *sucks his teeth*

*the next morning*

Diggy- Nothing is more gross than changing a diaper..

Y/N- It’s not that bad *flicks through her paperwork*

Diggy- *looks up at you* Oh, so you wanna come and do it for me huh?

Y/N- *laughs* Nope. *flicks a page*

Diggy- Why are you doing work while we’re on vacation anyway?

Y/N- My contract ends in London in a week.. I’m just making sure the figures add up...

Diggy- Relieved?

Y/N- *scans the page* Definitely. Not a spelling mistake in here...

Diggy- I meant to move back home

Y/N- *looks at him and laughs* Yeah, that too..

Diggy- I sold the apartment and got us a house instead..

Y/N- What? Really?

Diggy- Six bedrooms, your own study and a pool...

Y/N- We have a baby. Why is there a pool?

Diggy- Who said Malik is swimming? Besides, I’ve got that huge meeting with the label in a couple days, gonna discuss the new album and everything...

Y/N- You excited?

Diggy- Duh. Cause soon enough you’ll be back home with me, making money together and we can finally start planning for the wedding.

Y/N- *smiles* All I care about is us on our grind together. As a family.

Diggy- *smiles* *kisses you*

*a few days later*

YOUR P.O.V.

*in London*

Y/N- *laughs* He’s a pretty good baby too... *looks at Malik in his carrier*

Boss- *chuckles* Come in my office, let’s talk. I have some exciting news for you... *walks to his office*

Y/N- *follows him and shuts the door* I must say the accent... still a little weird.

Boss- *laughs and sits down*

Y/N- *sits*

Boss- Now.. I know your contract ends this week.. but we have a proposition for you.

Y/N- Okay..

Boss- We’re prepared to offer you a job here, but to manage some of our UK artists that we want to sign...

Y/N- *confused* Wait.. Here?

Boss- Yep, here. Double the pay, to suit you, full amenities and expenses paid and all the employee benefits. And of course we know you have a child, so we’ve catered to that too. 

Y/N- *laughs a little* Um.. well thank you. But, I already have plans to return to my old job in New York. It’s all in place for me, right where I left off.

Boss- New York? Why, they said your vacancy is no longer available there.

Y/N- What?

Boss- This was all finalised many weeks ago..

Y/N- I wasn’t here weeks ago, I was on maternity leave

Boss- Well, there isn’t a vacancy out there for you at the label. We’d love to have you here Y/N. But if you can’t, we understand..

Y/N- Um, Okay..

Boss- Just call me when you’ve made your decision.

Y/N- *bites her lip* *looks at Malik in his carrier*

DIGGY’S P.O.V.

*in New York*

Diggy- *rubs his hands together* So.. what’s the good news?

Boss- *sighs* Diggy, we have to start over.

Diggy- *face drops* What?

Boss- You’ve been recording in the UK, we got the samples and everything.. but we gotta start over with everything

Diggy- You’re telling me I worked so hard out there and I have to do it all again? I can’t with all these changes man, I’m boutta get married, I have a son.. what the hell?

Boss- I’m sorry.. but we have this new plan for you an--

Diggy- New plan? I thought the plan was to let me record and I submit my demo album and we work on it?

Boss- We’ve made a few changes.

Diggy- *covers his face* *sighs*

Boss- We’re Def Jam, we have all the producers, artists, you name it. We can make it a masterpiece, but what you were doing is outta the window now. Now it’s fresh and clean.. and it’s more us.

Diggy- This should be more more me, more focused on what I’m doing

Boss- We want that, we want expression, but you gotta follow what we do for you so we can make you relevant right now and richer. You fell off

Diggy- I had priorities, you know it. I don’t care bout being richer, I’m not here to sell out.

Boss- *sighs*

Diggy- *folds his arms* So what if I don’t wanna do that? I din’t want your rules or guidelines or any of your direction?

Boss- Simple. We drop you.

Diggy- *pauses and thinks* Fine. *gets up and leaves*
