Bree: we have a 6 year old daughter.

Dom: bree what the fuck talking bout?

Narrator: she pulled off. A few minutes later after leaving she gets a phone call.

Bree: what?

Dom: na you gotta stop. You gotta tell me what u mean?

Dom: well Ill just keep following you.

Bree: no. Go home.

Dom: hell na. You done started something. You gotta tell me what the fuck u talking bout. What daughter man?

Bree: go home Dom. Go home.

Dom: na. You look like you going to your grandma house. You going there or to the hotel?

Bree: didn't you tell me you loved me?

Bree: then go home. I promise ill tell you everything. Just give me time to think.

Dom: how you gone tell me that then say go home?

Bree: look i promise im gone tell you everything. Just go home.

Dom:(sigh).

Bree: dom please just go home. Im gonna talk to you.

Dom: man this ain't right bro.

Narrator: he hung up the phone. They both went opposite ways. Bree went to grandmas where grandma and nique was asleep. Dom went home. He barely got any sleep. The next morning there was a knock at his door. He looked out the window and saw brees car. He immediately hurried to the front door.

Dom: wassup

Bree: hey. You got company?

Dom: bree you know damn well I aint got no company.

Bree I dont know. Well can I come in so we can talk?

Dom: he opens the door and she can see he only haves shorts.

Bree: can you put on some clothes please.

Dom: I got on clothes.

Bree: nevermind I can come back later.

Dom: aite aite aite.

Narrator: he goes in his room to put on more clothes. Bree looks around the house and notices pictures of her. Dom comes back in the room.

Dom: aite is this better?

Narrator: he entered the room with some shorts and a tank top.

Bree. Yea. I forgot about these pictures. Man we had some good times.

Dom: man damn all that. Im trying to saoys out whats up with this baby? Where she at?

Bree: she's at my grandmas.

Dom: so why you aint bring her? Are you playing? Is this a joke?

Bree: no im not playing. The last night me and you was together you got me pregnant. I mean you didn't pull out.

Dom: so why you just telling me?

Bree: well thats the hard part. When I found out we were in north carolina. We weren't coming back. You was messing round with the streets. Me and my dad thought was best that we just raise her and protect her from all the bs.

Dom: so you take that away from me. I mean no disrespect to your dad but talking to me woulda been the best thing to do not him.

Bree: you right. Over the years I felt that. I apologize for hurting you. Us meeting last night was for to see what are you doing in life and getting to know you again because I wanted to introduce yall. Ill be honest. Last night if I woulda thought you were a bad I wouldn't have never said anything about here. You would never know about her.

Dom: and you dont think nothing wrong with that bree?

Bree: no. My first job as a mom is to protect my baby from all hurt. I will not let her feel what my mom did to me.

Dom: but im not your mom. You aint even give me a chance.

Bree: I know. And I cant take it back. You have to tell me if you wanna be apart of her life or not. If not I will never bother you again. No hard feelings.

Dom: what? Man that's my daughter. Why wouldn't i?

Bree: ok sit down.

Narrator: they both sit on the couch.

Bree: first do you have any questions for me?

Dom: whats her name?

Bree: you would ask me that first. Its Dominique zyasia Taylor.

Dom: bree? Come on man.

Narrator: he shakes his head in disbelief.

Bree: the reason I couldn't show you all my tattoos is because on one foot I have your name Dom and hers on the the other saying nique. (Kicking off her shoes.)

Dom: you got my name tatted on you?

Bree: because I figured you was gonna always be a part of my life because of her. She's 6. She's smart she's beautiful. She looks just fucking like you only lighter.

Dom: damn this is crazy. I got a daughter.

Bree: I brought plenty of pictures if you wanna see them.

Dom: yea.

Narrator: she pull 3 big books from her bag.

Bree: I been collecting everything since she was born just in case this day came. I even got pictures of you and me in here.

Narrator: the two of them stared at pictures for almost an hour. His mom comes home.

Ms smith: hey boy. Hey baby. I didn't know you was gonna have company. (Heading to the kitchen).

Bree: maybe I should give you and your mom some time to talk.

Dom: na. You all hard and shit. You can explain to my mom.

Bree: oh my God.

Dom: ma! You aint recognize who you was talking to.

Ms Smith: I said hey.

Dom: na you gotta look at who you talking too.

Ms. Smith: who? (Walking back in the living room).

Bree: hey Ms. Smith.

Ms. Smith: Bree. Hey baby! When you come back to town?

Bree: yesterday.

Ms. Smith: you visiting?

Bree: na im back for good.

Ms. Smith: oh thats good Especially for him. You know how much crying he did when you left?

Bree: wait what? (Laughing)

Ms. Smith: talking bout "ma I love her". Poor thing wouldn't eat or nothing.

Bree: aww him loved me.

Dom: I still love you.

Bree: boy whatever. (Smiling). I was showing him pictures of my daughter.

Ms smith: you got a daughter? How old is she? (Looking at the pictures). She is beautiful.

Bree:6. Im glad you said that grandma.

Ms smith: grandma?

Dom: she's saying the baby's mines ma.

Ms smith: what you mean the baby yours?

Bree: Ms. Smith when I left for North carolina I didn't know I was pregnant. Took a test and he was the only I was with.

Ms smith: bree you know I love you to death but something ain't adding up here. Dom did you know about this?

Dom: not til last night.

Ms smith: so why wait til now?

Bree: it's a lot of reasons. I wasn't even gonna come back to Richmond and tell him until I decided to move back. Plus my daughter is asking questions. What I thought was the right thing to do at first ended being the wrong thing to do.

Ms smith: I dont mean no harm but we need a test.

Bree: thats no problem. I understand.

Ms smith: this not right.

Bree: I know I was wrong.

Dom: when do I get to meet her?

Bree: when do you wanna meet her?

Dom: tomorrow.

Ms smith: don't you wanna wait for test results?

Dom: ill take the test but if bree said she mines I believe her.

Bree: tomorrow we can make a day out of it.

Narrator: Bree leaves.

Ms smith: I dont know Dom. Something ain't right. Why wait til now?

Dom: I dont know but if that is my child I wanna be there.

Ms smith: you just wanna be with bree.

Dom: that too.

Narrator: the next day the 2 parents planned a day around Dominique. While Dom waited at a restaurant his phone rings….

Dom: hey.

Bree: I need you to put the tablet up for a minute. This is my friend.

Nique: Dom? Close to my name.

Nique: what? Oh wow. (Putting the tablet to her face).

Bree: how you feel.

Nique: I dont know.(blushing)

Bree: listen your dad didn't know about you until now but he really wants to get to know you.

Dom: don't worry. I didn't know how to feel either but every since I knew about you I fell in love with you. Your mom told me a lot about you and I just want to be a good dad and I need you to help me with that.

Bree: awww.

Dom: so I brought you something. (Pulling a bag from under the table).

Bree: that's the problem. Your time is with nique not me. I ain't disrespect you.

Dom: so why not tell me the nigga was coming. I could prepared my mind for that.

Bree: you know what maybe I should've. It still shouldn't have been that much of an issue being that Cita had just left. I was completely nice to her. I had to listen to how she was planning a baby with you and everything and I not once was I disrespectful.

Dom: man.... (sucking his teeth)

Bree: man what? You need to figure your shit out. I'm not the same ol bree that was all in love with Dom.

Narrator: she leaves. Later she went to jaydas house to talk on the porch.

Bree: wassup girl? You alright?

Jayda: yea, you?

Bree: I don't know. I need to know what happened.

Jayda: aite. Back then a whole lot of shit happened at once. My mom lost her job and I couldn't get financial aid to go to school. So we had our class picnic. And you remember tt.

Bree: yea.

Jayda. She brought liquor and pills. Talked me into getting fucked up with her in the bathroom. Then the nigga Oscar came in the bathroom and started feeling on me. You know I had a crush on him for a minute. I was fucked up. So other niggas started coming in the bathroom taking turns on me. I couldn't even push them away.

Bree: Jayda that's rape. Why you ain't tell nobody?

Jayda: tell who? All of them was gonna deny it. And I felt like it was my fault.

Bree: how was it your fault. They too advantage of you. So Todd was one of them.

Jayda: yea that's why keiti don't fuck with me. I don't blame her for being mad but if she think she gonna be my ass she got another thing coming.

Bree: damn.

Jayda: see people don't know keiti was pregnant and when that shit went down she went and got an abortion.

Bree: for real. Where was Dom?

Jayda: from my understanding Dom walked in saw it was me and walked back out. He even checked on me the next day. Every time he see me he check on me.

Bree: jayda I'm sorry.

Jayda: yea i just been going through it. After all of that I started prostitution to help with the bill and save up for school but I got busted. I did a month in and the put me on probaation. That's when I started working at the store.

Bree: damn jayda.

Jayda: you the only 1 that listened to me. They won't even listen. I stopped caring. At 1 point I thought about killing myself.

Bree: I'm glad you didn't. If you ever need me for now on. I'm goona always be there for you.

Narrator:the 2 hug. Afterwards bree went to keiti house. As they sat on the porch...

Bree: what's good girl?

Keiti: man I'm just getting up.

Bree: you know what we have to talk about.

Keiti: do we have to. I'm just really over it at this point.

Bree: not when you're about to fight over you're not.

Keiti: I just saw her and went red. Then she had the nerve to be at my brother's party knowing we got issues.

Bree: well that's my fault. I didn't know.

Keiti: she did though.

Bree: you do know she was raped right?

Keiti: she won't raped. She got fucked up and let them niggas run the train on her.

Bree: but they took advantage of her.

Keiti: she shouldn't have gotten fucked up. Then I can't believe Todd trifling ass got in on it. I feel betrayed. I was pregnant at the time. After that shit I got an abortion.

Bree: how Todd feel about you getting the abortion?

Keiti: he ain't know when I did it. He just recently found out. He been getting on my nerves ever since. Ooh I can't stand that motherfucker.

Bree: what about Dom?

Keiti: I don't know. Melissa said that shit but it's always been told to me that Dom won't in there. Yall planning on getting back together?

Bree: no because I still think he a ho.

Keiti: what you expect? You left him.

Bree: I expect him to still have some respect for himself. He ain't got be out here fucking everything.

Keiti: you can't control what that man do if you ain't with him. Ain't no nigga perfect but that nigga was perfect for you. And he ain't got no kids either. Shid you better jump on that.

Bree: keiti I got something to tell you.

Keiti. Awww lord. What is it?

Bree: me and Dom got a 6 year old daughter together.

Keiti: stop playing.

Bree: I'm not. Look

Keiti: how he respond?

Bree: he was mad at first but he wanna be back with me so bad....

Keiti: yall was good together.

Bree: yea but he a whole ho now.

Narrator: Todd pulled up in his car.

Keiti: lord we talked this nigga up. Joon ain't here.

Todd: I ain't come to see Joon. I came to see you.

Keiti: shid you ain't come to see me.

Todd: bruh at some point you gotta taLk to me.

Keiti: no I don't.

Todd: look ill give you a 100 dollars for 5 minutes of your time.

Narrator: she walked to the car and put her hand out. Todd gives her the money and keiti puts it in her bra and walks off.

Todd: hold on. What about my 5 minutes.

Keiti: a 100 dollars ain't enough to listen to all that bullshit you trying to tell me.

Narrator: she walked in the house.

Bree: I'm disappointed in you Todd.

Todd: yea I know. I just got caught in the moment.

Narrator: a week went by and grandma was having a father's day cookout. Dom was heading over and got a phone call.

Dom: hello?

Keiti: hey Dom.

Dom: keiti? Wassup?

Keiti: nothing much. I just wanted to tell yo I talked to bree. I appreciate for not bringing up that incident.

Dom: I told you I wont gonna say nothing about it no more.

Keiti: I know but I just felt more and more fucked up while I was talking to her.

Dom: keiti we didn't do nothing. Plus I knew you was only trying to get back at todd. Plus we had too much to drink. All in all we did nothing but kiss. It didn't mean anything. Nobody gonna know.

Keiti: ok

Dom: you good?

Keiti: yea.

Dom: I'm about to head in her house now.

Keiti: ok

Narrator: They both hung up the phone. Dom walked in grandma's house.

Nique: my daddy my daddy my daddy. (running towards him)

Narrator: he walked in and hugged her. Holding his hand she pulled him all the way to the kitchen where she had gifts on the table.

Bree: hey boo. Happy Father's day.

Dom: thank you.

Bree: I'm gonna fix you. Plate OK.

Dom: OK.

Narrator: Dom enjoyed the cookout. After it had gotten dark he sat out on the back deck with bree and nique. Nique eventually fell asleep and Dom had to take her up to her room. When he came back....

Dom: Man you gotta start letting me get her.

Bree: you think you gonna be able to handle her.

Dom: hell yea.

Bree: well I gotta start going back to work anyway. Her and grandma got the day planned tomorrow but after that you can get her.

Dom: bet.

Bree: thank u for stepping up and being a good dad. I wish I would've done things differently. I guess I was comparing you to my mom and that wasn't right.

Dom: it's aite.

Bree: no it's not. It was selfish.

Dom: ain't nothing we can do to change it now. She seem happy though.

Bree: she really is.

Dom: let me give you a massage.

Bree: Dom?

Dom: I ain't trying to be funny. It's just something I ain't do in a while.

Bree: na because it might lead to something else. Besides you got Cita for that.

Dom: Cita? I ain't been to see Cita in a minute. We don't talk no more.

Bree: whatever

Dom: I'm for real.

Bree: well still no

Dom: why you think I'm such a bad guy.

Bree: I don't think you a bad guy. You just not about to have me all in my feelings.

Dom: have I ever had you in your feelings before?

Bree: yes but in a good way. The person I've been seeing on ig is not the person I know.

Dom: the only reason you see that is because you won't here. If you was here everything woulda been different. I honestly believe we would've been married. I'm mad I can't get that back.

Bree: you not the only one.

Dom: yea but I'm the only one pushing to get it back.

Bree: I don't think u understand.

Dom: oh so you want me to understand when you took my child from me but don't want me to understand when it comes to us. Na I don't understand. You leaving won't my fault. We were closer than that Briana. Shit shouldn't be this hard.

Bree: the shit with my family..... (in tears)

Dom: that's bull. Whenever you had problems at home you always knew I was Ll here. All those days and nights you fell asleep in my arms.

Bree: I can't put myself where I let you hurt me. My mom left and my dad's gone too.

Dom: but I'm the one that's still here.

Bree: for how long?

Dom: forever, if you let me.

Bree: I don't know if I can take that chance.

Dom: this shit crazy. I never thought you'd stop loving me. (shaking his head)

Bree: who said I stopped loving?

Dom: that's pretty much what you're saying.

Bree: what you want me to say? I haven't Been able to have another relationship becaus I can't shake my feelings for you. I hate seeing these bitches claim you when I know I won't around. I wish shit. Oulx go back too.

Dom: that's what I want you to say. Say all of that if that's what you're feeling.

Narrator: she gets quiet

Dom: it's probably best that I go.

Narrator: she grabs his arm so he can't get up and puts her head on his shoulder. They both then look at each other and lean in for a kiss. Bree forces Dom to his back where she could get on top of him. His phone then rings and they both look at. When she sees Cita name on the screen she gets up.

Bree: it's probably the best thing that she called.

Dom: what? Bree! Don't do this. I don't know why she calling.

Bree: it's just probably a sign we shouldn't of been doing this.

Dom: yes we should.

Bree: na let me walk you out.

Narrator: while he is walking out he shakes his head in frustration. He call Cita back while in the car.

Cita: hello?

Dom: yea you call me?

Cita: yea just call to tell you happy father's day. I know it's your first one.

Dom:i appreciate that.

Cita: also I left your things on your mom's porch. I didn't want you to have a reason to come back to my house.

Norma: I ain't understanding. You my girl and all but you confusing the shit out me.

Dom: yeah.

Nique: I want you and my mommy together.

Dom: well I tried.....

Bree: nope, nope, nope, nope. Do you do that. (pointing at Dom). Nique it don't work like that. Things don't always work like we want it but your father always gonna loves you. That's all that matters. You gonna always be first in his life. But you also have to be supportive of others things in his life.

Nique: ok. (looking sad).

Bree: go hang your clothes up in your room.

Dom: cook me some too.

Bree: what?

Dom: it's our anniversary.

Bree: bye man.

Narrator: the next day after practice, nique was knocked out and Dom had to bring her in. Bree was in the kitchen with some short shorts and a tank top. While she was on the phone...

Nique: dad, why mom don't like grandma Katie?

Dom: it's a long story. Your mom might have to talk you about that.
