Aftershock(What you missed)

Part 1

"Sydney, you have a call on line one", her secretary stated over the intercom. Sydney knew this was Michael calling because he called the same time everyday. "This is Sydney, can I help you?" "What's good mama?" said Michael in to the phone. Sydney had just come from the doctor where she just found out she was 6 weeks pregnant, and she needed to find a way to tell him. "Hey baby, we need to talk." she said. "About what?" "Michael I'm 6 weeks pregnant" There was silence on the other end of the phone. "Hello?" said Sydney worried about what Michael would think. "Yeah I'm here. So what you gonna do about it yo?" Said Michael. This question knocked Sydney back a bit. "What do you mean what am I gonna do about it? I'm gonna keep it! What the hell Michael?" Michael knew that he didn't want anymore children, he already had 3 other babies that Sydney did not know about. All 3 born within the 3 years that they were together, all 3 by his main chick that Sydney didn't know about. "You know I'm not working Sydney I can't afford no baby" "Well, duh, Michael I am pretty well off I can take care of it until you get another job if that's all you're worried about". Sydney I don't want a damn baby alright?!?" Sydney couldn't understand where all of this was coming from, she thought that Michael loved her and wanted to be with her, if that was the case why didn't he want to have a child by her. She was confused and extremely pissed about this. "So you're saying that you want me to have an abortion? Are you fucking serious?!? " "Yeah that's what i'm saying, I don't want no more fucking babies" Michael said getting angry.. Oh shit, he thought, i just told.. before he could even finish his thought Sydney went off. "WHAT DA FUCK YOU MEAN BABIES?!? YOU TELLING ME YOU GOT CHILDREN I DON'T KNOW ABOUT?!? WHAT DA FUCK MICHAEL?!" Sydney baby calm down lemme explain." EXPLAIN WHAT YOU GOT FUCKING CHILDREN OUT THERE AND YOU DIDN'T EVEN BOTHER TO UTTER A FUCKING WORD TO ME, YOU STILL FUCKIN THE BITCH OR BITCHES TOO??!" Sydney was outraged, how could this sorry motha fucka pull some shit off on her like this? "No baby I'm not fucking her, it was all before you honestly.I would never do anything like that to you, you know that." Michael knew he was lying but he couldn't lose access to the bank, he couldn't lose Sydney. He was using her money to support his main chick and his 3 kids. Michael had to do some damage control so he tried to calm Sydney. "Baby calm down before you do something irrational. I know i shoulda told you but I didn't want to run you away, how would you have felt if I told you I had 3 kids from the jump?" Sydney was damn near about to explode at this point. Realizing that she was pregnant she tried to calm herself down. "Michael, you have 3 children? 3?! How are you going to be with me for 3 years and not say anything? What makes you think I would have run away if you told me that?" Michael knew he had her wrapped around his finger and was about to go in for the kill. "Baby you know I love you, I promise I won't lie to you again. We have our own child to raise now so lets live in the moment." Weak for this fool's every word she gave in. "Alright baby but we are still going to have to talk about it." said a now calming Sydney. Jackpot! Thought Michael. "Cool, aye baby. Lemme hold about 300 dollars.." as if hypnotized by this man, Sydney didn't hesitate and answered with a simple "Okay baby."

Sydney didn't know what to make of all of this, She loved Michael with all her heart and wondered if all he was saying was true. Were the 3 children before her? Why didn't he tell her? She was dumbfounded and was dangerously in love. She was feeling sick and decided to end her day early not calling Michael and telling him that she was coming home early, she wanted to suprise him. But she would be the one suprised...

On her way home Sydney made a few stops to prepare for her planned out night at home. She wanted to make up for the argument she and Michael had earlier, so she decided to suprise him with dinner and a little romance. Since she was craving red meat, she picked up a couple of Tbones from the grocery store alone with some Grey Goose for Michael and ginger ale for her even though she could use a couple of shots at this point. She went by the flower shop and bought a bag of rose petals for the after dinner bubble bath with her man. Oh how she loved this man with all her heart. She would break her back for him. Sydney had no clue that Michael was leading a double life and not to mention doing it with her money. The 300 dollars that Michael wanted from her was for his other baby's mama. But poor little Sydney had no clue. I am gonna stick by my man no matter what, we can get through this Sydney thought.

She tried calling Michael on his cell. Straight to voice mail.. Hmm.. that's strange. She tried calling a few more times before leaving a voice mail. "Hey, baby sorry about earlier. Its just that everything was happening at once and it just caught me off guard is all. I left work earlier to come home and make up for the argument. I'll see you in a bit. Love you.." Michael was Sydney's weakness and he knew it to which he used that to his advantage. He had no intentions on leaving the other baby mama and his kids. Hell, they were planning on a wedding next year. He was going to use Sydney up. Whenever the money runs out so will he.

As Sydney pulled up at her 2 story townhome she noticed an unfamiliar car parked in her spot. Giving that each resident had to have a parking dekalb, she noticed that the car had one so she didn't think anything of it. At the door she placed her key in the hole "its already unlocked" she said aloud. She figured that Michael had gotten her message and was waiting on her to get home. As she walked in she began to call out for Michael but stopped when she heard voices coming from the bedroom upstairs. At first she thought it was the tv but the voice sound too much like Michael. Then she thought, he must be on the phone given that my calls were sent to voicemail. Again she didn't think anything of it. She started up the steps to let Michael know that she had came home early so that they could talk and celebrate the life inside of her. But as she slowly reached the top of the stairs it was clear that the noises she heard were that of sex noises and the upstairs part of her house reaked of it. She slowly crept to the master bedroom double doors and walked in.

Michael and the chick he was fuckin were so wrapped up in each other that they didn't even notice her standing there. She was so furious that she was speechless. She sat there and watched him stroke this woman like he stroked her so many times before. So intimate like he loved this woman. Her head began to spin..This is too much, she thought, I have to get out of here. She turned and began to walk but the room was spinning a bit much at this point. She could barely get Michaels name out before she collapsed to the floor..

"What da fuck?!" said Michael as he spun around after Sydney collapsed. His baby mama, which you will come to know as Sasha, sat there with a dirty smirk on her face because she knew what she had done. See Sasha knew that Michael was seeing Sydney, the entire 3 years that they were together, he just didn't know that she knew. But Sasha was a gold digger and gold diggers will take any money thrown at them whether it was Michaels or not. She knew the fly ass townhome and car wasn't Michaels because he hasn't worked in over a year and being from the hood, she know damn well he wasn't man enough to push no dope so she had it all figured out . Sasha wanted Sydney to walk in on her and Michael. She planned it. She figured that it was due time for Sydney to find out about her and Michael. Earlier, while Michael was in the shower his phone rang. It was Sydney. Sasha looked at the ID and sent her to voicemail. The phone rang a couple more times before Sydney left a voicemail. Sasha knew the password to Michael's voicemail, something else he didn't know she knew, and deleted the voicemail. "Baby I love you my ass" she thought as she deleted the message. She knew exactly what Sydney was about to walk into.

Michael jumped off the bed at this point not even acknowledging that Sasha was still laying there butt booty naked. He ran over to Sydney trying to wake her. "Sydney, baby, wake up.." Sydney was out cold. Michael tried shaking her, she wouldn't move, then all of a sudden Sydney's body started to convulse and he looked down and saw a mass of blood on the floor...

Part 2

"MAN WHAT THE FUCK?!" shouted Michael. "SYDNEY!! Sasha call 911!" Sasha just lay there looking, like she knew what she had done. She didn't want this girl to have a baby by Michael, she wanted to baby to die. "SASHA GET THE FUCK UP AND CALL 911!! NOW!" Reluctantly she got up and went over to the phone, this time ACTING shocked. "911 please state your emergency" the operator answered. "Yes my fiance's side ho done fell out and we need an ambulance" Sasha stated with a smile on her face. The operator was taken aback by the comment and so was Michael "Bitch if you don't get a damn ambulance over here and stop playing and shit". Sasha giggled with excitement because she really had it out for this bitch. She knew Michael was falling in love with her and she needed to stop that before it got outta hand. Michael was her man and that's how it was gonna stay, no matter how many hoes he fucked he would always come back to her. Sasha always got what she wanted. She would do what it took to be his only if it meant fucking up a few people along the way. Sasha gave the operator the address and put on some clothes and left a still naked Michael and a pregnant Sydney laying there on the floor.

Sasha walked outside and could already hear the sirens approaching, she jumped in her car and hit 75 to her side of town. She had a few errands of her own to run. She turned up the radio to hear "Bust it Baby" and had no remorse about what she had done. As she pulled up to her 2 bedroom assisted living home also known to some as the "bricks", a familiar face came to meet her. "Hey baby, I missed you." said Darel her boy toi she had been fucking around with since b4 Michael and Sydney had been together. If he can do it I can too, thought Sasha. Darel was a thug ghetto nigga. Sasha had a weakness for these type of men. And not to mention the dick was off da chain! He rubbed her stomach and stated "how's my baby?" Sasha was 8 weeks pregnant...

Sasha was a top notch gold digger. Even though she loved Michael, she couldn't resist the power of the almighty dollar. She was the type that would do something strange for a piece of change. Now her main man, Michael, was the one that she would kill for literally. She was crazy about him. She had 3 kids 2 of which weren't his. Darel was the father of the last two but she never told Michael any different given that Darel and Michael were cousins. She wanted to lock Michael down. That was her man and would do and say anything to keep him. Darel was just a thug nigga with some good pipe.

Sasha knew about all the ho's that Michael was missing with, including Sydney. To Sasha, Sydney was major competition because Michael never fell in love with the girls he messed with but she was different. Sasha could tell that Michael was starting to fall in love with her even though he wouldn't admit it and she had to do any and everything in her power to prevent that.

Sasha was 8 weeks pregnant with her fourth child, Michael of course thought it was his, but Sasha knew differently. Lately, Michael had been so wrapped up in Sydney that he hasn't been taking care of home. Now don't get it twisted, Michael was supplying her with money, Sydney's money that is. Sasha knew that of course, she didn't care. Money was money to her. But Michael had not been coming around as often as he should have.

Darel knew the baby was his, he had been fucking Sasha since before she and Michael were even together, he didn't love her, she was just piece of pussy to him. Michael didn't even know this. Hell, Darel introduced him to Sasha. He would give her money along the way, that's the least that he could do fucking his cousin's girl and all. As he rubbed her stomach, "How's my baby?" Sasha replied "The baby is fine, the doctor's appointmet went okay." Sasha lied, she wasn't at the doctor, she was laying up in Sydney's bed. The events that occurred earlier between she, Michael and Sydney didn't even phase her, matter of fact it made her day a whole lot better knowing that she was the cause of Sydney losing her baby, or at least that's what she thought...

At the hospital, Michael sat by Sydney's bedside and waited on the doctors to come in with an update. He knew he didn't want anymore kids but he couldn't stand the thought of Sydney hurting more than she already had. She was still unconscious and in stable condition. The doctor finally arrived. "We were able to save the baby, and Sydney will be just fine. However, the condition that she is in has put her at high risk for losing the baby. She must remain on bedrest for two weeks or until her other results come back. This was a close call Michael, it could have been a lot worse." As the doctor left Sydney came too. "What happened?" she said. "You passed out and nearly lost the baby". Michael said calmingly. "Oh my God is the baby okay?" "Yes baby everything is fine, but the doctor said that you have to remain on bedrest for two weeks." "Why did I.. " Before she could finish her sentence she began to regain her memory of what just transpired in her home. "YOU... YOU LOW DOWN MUTHA FUCKA. YOU GET YOUR SHIT AND YOU GET THE FUCK OUTTA MY HOUSE. TAKE THE DAMN SHEETS WITH YOU BECAUSE YOU WAS FUCKING THAT BITCH IN MY BED. WHO DA FUCK WAS SHE MICHAEL?!?" Sydney shouted outraged. "Baby calm down." Said Michael. "YOU JUST DON'T QUIT DO YOU?!? FIRST YOU SAY YOU DON'T WANT A BABY THEN WHEN I GET HOME I FIND YOU FUCKING SOME BITCH IN MY BED WHAT DA FUCK MICHAEL. ARE YOU FUCKING SERIOUS!?" "I think you need to calm down before you hurt yourself" "I don't need to do anything but get get rid of your trifling ass.. How could you do this to me? Who is she?" no response. Michael just stared at her, she was truly angry and he knew he was about to lose her. "ANSWER ME DAMMIT!! YOU OWE ME THAT MUCH MICHAEL.." yelled Sydney."Okay," said Michael. Shit, he didn't have much to lose at this point so he put it all on the table. "That was Sasha in the bed with me, she is the mother of my 3 kids." Michael didn't know about the 4th kid. "and she and I have been together since before me and you. But I love you I didn't intend to let it get dis far baby. " Sydney was crying hysterically. She knew she loved Michael, but he was not about to be the death of her. She spoke very calmly and said "Get your shit, find your baby mama, and get the fuck outta my house. My child and I will be just fine without you. " Then she turned her back to Michael, making him understand that she wanted him to leave. Even though Sydney knew it would be hard as hell with out him in her life, she knew she had to let it go. Let him go... Michael got up left the room headed back to his baby mama's house.. Karma is a bitch and he is about to get slapped by it..

Part 3

Michael was so distraught by the events that took place. He knew Sydney would find out about Sasha sooner or later but not this way. Not catching him fucking Sasha in her own bed. He knew how bad Sydney must have been hurting. It was obvious, and with her being an Independent woman handling her own, he knew he wasn't going to get her back. As he headed back to Sydney's house to pick up his things, he couldn't help but wonder what she was going to do about the baby. "I mean it is half mine". Michael said aloud. But then again he didn't want anymore children, so maybe it would be best to leave her alone he thought. "But what kind of man would that make me?" again thinking outloud. Oh shit he thought, she bought me this whip, is she gonna get this back too? Sydney had bought him a new whip with her yearly bonus, a Range Rover pimped out to the fullest. Was she going to clean out his bank account? He needed to get her back before he lost everything. Michael really had fallen for Sydney, something that he was not accustomed to doing.A hoe was just a piece of pussy, but she was different. He had fucked many women in his past but had never felt for them what he felt for Sydney. He actually loved her, and it just dawned on him that he did and how much.

At first, he was using her for her money, but then she proved to be a down chick when he was locked up for something his cousin did, she was right there waiting at the gates when he got out. Damn, he thought, I think I just lost a good one. But he knew that he had to leave, it was the only solution, because Sasha is crazy. Even if Sydney had've taken him back Sasha would have made her life a living hell. Hell, he thought, she still may do that if she finds out that Sydney is pregnant. Not knowing that Sasha already knew she was pregnant. Michael didn't even know that Sasha was pregnant. He also didn't know that his cousing was 2-timing him by sleeping with her. He loved Sasha too, but nothing like what he felt for Sydney. Sasha was a ghetto hoe, Sydney was wifey material and he fucked that up.

Before he headed to Sydney's to pick up his things he decided to head by Sasha's place first and see his kids. lol.. his kids.. if he only knew.. As he pulled up he noticed his cousin's car in the drive. "What is this nigga doing here?" He thought. As he got out Darel and Sasha were coming out of the house together. "Aye mayn, what's good? what you doing here?" Said Darel suprised. He wasn't expecting Darel back today because he knew he was tied up with that girl Sydney. He was was supposedly Michael's alibi when he stayed over at Sydney's or when he stayed at Sasha's. And when Michael was at Sydney's Darel was at Sasha's throwing her back out. And that's how she finds out about every chick Michael fucks with. "Oh nothin mayn. Can I holla at you fo a min?" asked Michael. Michael had no clue about Darel and Sasha and with Darel being there all the time he thought nothing of him being at the crib. (yeah I know, he's a dummy.. lol) "Yeah Folk, what's up? I'll get at you lata Sasha." Said Darel as he walked over to Michael. Sasha smirked as she walked back in the apartment. "What's up mayn?" "Mayne Syd walked in on me and Sasha today fucking and passed the fuck out." said Michael as he explained the situation to his cousin. "Fa real?!? Mayne, what she gone do bout dat baby??" "She said she gone hol it down by ha self.." Michael's mind was racing so fast that he didn't even notice the sweat coming off of Darel and the fact that he smelled like sex outside in 30 degree weather.

Darel was contemplating on whether he should break the news about his kids, and the thing between him and Sasha to his cousin. He knew that this couldn't go on any more and the situation that Michael was in was the true definition of Karma. "Mike mayne, I got sum to tell you"

Part 4

After spending 2 days in the hospital the doctor told Sydney she was ready to get home. For this she was thankful because if she had to go one more day eating that damn hospital food, she was going to have another convulsion. She needed someone to pick her up so she decided it would be her best friend Mocca. Mocca worked with her at her accounting firm and and been her friend since they started their intern there a few years back. "Hello?" Mocca said. "Hey girl." "Sydney?! Where in the hell have you been? I haven't heard from your yellow ass in a few days not to mention you haven't been at work. What's up Syd?" "I've been in the hospital." "What da hell? What happened?!" yelled Mocca.. Sydney recapped the events that transpired 3 days earlier and by the end of the story Mocca was ready to drop a few niggas. Mocca was that ride or die chick, even though she was well established she bought the hood out of her every now and again. "WHAT DA FUCK SYDNEY?! YOU DIDN'T EVEN BOTHER TO TELL ME 1ST OF ALL THAT YOU WERE PREGNANT AND SECONDLY THAT YOU CAUGHT THIS NIGGA IN BED WITH HIS BABY MAMA AND IF IM NOT MISTAKEN YOU SAID HE HAD 3 KIDS THAT YOU DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT?!? OH HELLLL NAWL!!! WHERE THIS NIGGA AT?! GIRL YOU KNOW IM PACKING I'LL FIND THAT NIGGA FOR YOU AND FUCK HIM UP!!." Mocca was furious, but in a way this made Sydney laugh because her friend had always had her back. Sydney had to calm her down before she went on a rampage through atlanta looking for Michael. "Girl its straight, don't go doing nothing stupid. Im fine the baby is fine. I kicked him out. Me and my child will be fine without him." said Sydney fighting back the tears. "YOU DAMN RIGHT YOU AND DA BABY ARE GOING BE JUST FINE WITHOUT THAT SORRY MUTHA FUCKA. YOU KNOW WHY? 'CAUSE YOU GOT GODMA MOCCA TO HELP YOU!". "The doctor released me today will you come pick me up? I'm on bedrest for two weeks so I made need you to come stay with me, do a few things for me." "Its already done, I'll be there in an hour" Said Mocca.

Once Sydney made it home, she asked Mocca to get rid of the bed in the master suit, get a new one. Until then Sydney was going to sleep in one of the guest bedrooms, soon to be nursery, until the new bedroom suit arrived. It slowly began to fall on her what had happened in her house and she fell into a deep depression for days. She wouldn't eat or sleep. She cried 24/7. Mocca was there to console her but could only do so much given that she has never gone through something like that before. Sydney felt like her world would be coming to an end pretty soon..

***

Michael didn't know what to expect from Darel, seeing the day that he was already having it couldn't be good. "What's up man?" Said Michael. "Bruh dis ain't easy to say." "What da fuck man spit da shit out!" said an irritated Michael. Darel took a few steps back because he definitely didn't know what the outcome of his telling Michael about his relationship with Sasha would be. "Aight, before you met Sasha me and her was kickin it, not like togetha, but we were you know "kickin" it.." Michael being the slow ass dummy he was didn't catch on right away. "Okay so yall used to chill, what's the big deal?" Said a now confused Michael. "Look, ima just put da shit out dere. Me and Sasha been fuckin way before you and her started fuckin, not on no lovey dovey type shit, just dick ta pussy. You know how we do, fuck a hoe leave a hoe. But we neva stopped messin around wit each other. She saw you one day chillin ova my house and asked me to introduce yall, I mean I didn have no problem wit it cuz you my folk an all." Michael's jaw started to twitch. He couldn't believe the shit that was coming out of Darel's mouth."And we was just fuckin, and honestly bruh, I thought that yall would be doin da same, I didn know you end up fallin in love with da bitch." Michael was so angry that he didn't even realize that he was crying. He had nothing to say at this point. This was a line that shouldn't have been crossed and Darel and Sasha crossed it. He turned around and started to walk away, stopped, and went in his pocket. Michael always carried a toolie. Being from Edgewood he had to... Before Darel could say anything there was a 9mm staring him right in the face....

Darel was speechless. He knew that Michael carried a gun, but would have never thought that he would use it on him. Michael was not in his right mind, he had lost his love, Sydney, and just found out about his cousin boning Sasha the mother of his kids, or at least that's what he thought. At this point he thought he didn't have anything else to lose. "Darel, bruh, how could you do this to me?" Said Michael crying. "Look mayne, Me and Sasha was kickin it way before you and her even hooked up." said Darel. "Fuck that, what about my kids yo? They yours too?" Yelled Michael. Sasha heard all of the commotion and went outside to see what was going on. "What in da hell are yall out here arguing about?" she said. "Aye mayne, I didn't mean to hurt yo, you my blood, you gone let this bitch come between us?" said Darel tryna save face. "Mayne, answer da fuckin question, No better yet you answer bitch" He said as he pointed the gun toward Sasha. " I should shoot both of yo asses. Sasha you ain't nothing but a first class hoe, I was never gonna marry yo ass, I just said that shit to make you get off my ass about it. Now answer the question bitch are these kids mine or not?!" Michael was extremely hurt, even though he told Sydney he didn't want anymore kids, he love the ones he had. Those 3 kids were his heart and for someone to come in and change all that made him helpless. "Michael, Sasha has nothing to do with this. " Said Darel."SHUT DA FUCK UP!!! SOMEBODY BETTER ANSWER THE FUCKING QUESTION BEFORE IT BE SOME BODIES LAYING OUT HERE, IM NOT BULLSHITTIN.. "said Michael getting impatient. "Aight mayne, chill.." said Darel. "The first one is yours, but the last two dawg, they my seed. Mayne Im sorry. I shoulda fell back when I saw you falling in love with her" Michael was crying so hard at this point he couldn't speak, and could barely stand. His world was just split in two and he just lost everything that he held dear to his heart. Sasha was just standing there. Laughing to herself. Look at all the trouble i've caused, she thought to herself. These sorry mutha fuckas out here fussin bout me.. Ha! She actually felt proud that she could cause such a ruckus.

Michael started to walk away, but instead of letting him leave, Darel decided that he wanted to get the gun from his cousin before he went and did something crazy. Darel rushed Michael from behind grabbing the gun, they fought and the gun went off. Darel stumbled to the ground, thinking that it was he who was shot. He checked himself and saw no blood, no bullet. Only the casing. He looked at Michael who was just standing there, with a blank look on his face like he had just lost his mind, and had a mental breakdown. Darel saw that Michael wasn't shot. Damn he thought, that was close. As Michael turned to get his car, Darel got up and went toward the house and saw Sasha laying there with a gunshot wound to her stomach..
