hugged her leg, and walked to his blocks.
    Uzoma stood at the door looking at her. “You don’t look so well.”
    “I’m not. I’m sick of being here. I need to go home. I wasn’t this sick until she flew me all the way across the damn world for no reason.”
    Uzoma looked at her and nodded. He turned around and stuck his head out of the door. Taryn watched him look both ways before stepping back in and closing the door behind him. He walked to Taryn quickly and grabbed her arm. He pulled her to the chair near the lamp and sat her down. Thank God he wasn’t walking too fast or else she might have thrown up again. It seemed like the slightest movement made her sickness worse. He kneeled in front of her and placed one hand on her knee once she was comfortable in the chair.
    “If I tell you something, you have to promise to keep it to yourself.”
    “Okay. What?”
    Uzoma looked over his shoulder again. “He’s here.”
    Taryn’s face frowned up, and she leaned down closer to Uzoma. “Demoto?”
    Uzoma nodded.
    “Where? Did you tell him where we were?” Taryn felt the best she’d felt since she’d gotten there.
    “No. I couldn’t, but I’m meeting him tonight. You have to try to stay as calm as possible. This is a dangerous game that we’re playing. We can’t afford slip ups.”
    Taryn’s eyes watered up as she thought about Demoto. She knew he would come for her. All day she had been crying and worrying, and now he was there. She sniffed her tears back when she saw Ayo coming over to her. He looked between her and Uzoma before climbing into her lap.
    Ayo pointed his finger at Uzoma. “ Arrêtez ” (Stop)
    Uzoma’s whole face frowned as he stared at Ayo. He looked at him in amazement for a second before looking back at Taryn.
    “This baby speaks French?”
    Taryn smiled. “Yes. Demoto has been talking to him in French since I got pregnant, so he knows both languages. What did he say to you?”
    “He told me to stop. I guess he figured I was the reason for your crying.”
    Taryn laughed. “That’s probably exactly it. He’s very possessive over me.”
    Uzoma looked at Ayo and held his hand out for him to give him five. “I’m sorry Ayo. I won’t do it again.”
    Ayo looked at him, but didn’t say anything. Uzoma, on the other hand, still looked a little shocked. He stood to his feet and walked toward the door.
    “I’m headed out. I have a meeting to attend. Any messages?”
    “Yes.” Taryn got up from her seat. “Tell him I love him, I trust him, and I’m never running. No matter what.”
    Uzoma stared at Taryn and nodded. “I can’t wait until I find love like this.” He gave a light smile and exited her room.
    Finally catching a glimmer of hope, Taryn perked up a little. She finished getting dressed and headed out. She and Ayo needed to meet Ornella in the kitchen. She was actually excited about seeing her newest baby. She hadn’t been back to the doctor since she’d first confirmed her pregnancy, and that was weeks ago.
    When she got into the kitchen, Ornella was seated with fat Chauncey at the table. She waved Taryn over to the plate next to her. Versus the meat and rice that Chauncey was eating, there was a sandwich and some fruit. Taryn was more than grateful for that because just looking at Chauncey’s food made her stomach hurt. 
    She took her seat next to them and said her grace before eating. “Don’t stand in the chair Ayo.” She pulled him down to his bottom using his shirt.
    “He’s a boy, leave him alone.” Chauncey turned his lips up at her.
    “I’m his mama, leave me alone.”
    “Ungrateful ass.”
    “Fat ass.” Taryn looked at Ornella. “Excuse me Ms. Ornella.”
    She smiled at Taryn and waved her off. “You’re fine, my girl. Eat up so we can go check on the new bambino.”
    Taryn ate her sandwich quickly and was ready to go when she finished. Ornella grabbed the small bag of snacks that she said were for Ayo and led them to the door. They all loaded
