De'Mario's POV:

While I was in the middle of talking to Kacey, she started twitching and shit and said she had to use the bathroom. I ain't gone have her piss on herself so I told her where it was. After she left, Maria ran in crying and bleeding. She shot passed me and went straight upstairs. I was about to go upstairs and talk to her but Shawny waddled in after her.

Shawny: "Go, outside and help the guys set up the bounce house and calm the kids down. Ill go talk to Maria." She squeezed my arm.

Me: "What happened?" I asked.

Shawny: "If I tell you, don't kill him." She sighed.

Me: "Sh-"

Shawny: "Alright, Alright," She gave in. "Terrence and her got in a fight. She punched him and he pushed her."

Me: "That's all I needed to know," We both went our separate ways.

Kacey's POV:

I need a hit, and I need it now. I tried to make it to the bathroom but I was feigning to bad. I went into the nearest closet and shut the door behind me. I've been trying to quit smoking for a long time now but it just keeps pulling me back. I sat down in the dark closet and noticed that there was no light. I dug in my purse for my lighter and pulled it out to use it as a light. I flicked it on and continued to look for my quick fix. Once I grabbed my crack filled blunt, I lit it and began sucking the life out of it. I needed this. It needed me. It keeps me so calm and stable.

De'Shawn's POV:

I waddled upstairs and made my way to Maria's room. She hit Terrence with that mayweather jab. He must have been fucking with her too many times for her to break his damn nose and still be mad. I hope she know that he done remember that for the rest of his life. I kinda chuckled to myself up the stairs because she hit that boy hard. I heard that shit. I bet he learned his damn lesson now. I entered her room After knocking and Shut the door behind me.

Me: "Hey boo, you okay?" I asked. She continued to cry and I waddled to her and hugged her. "Lemme see your leg" she turned over and I seen the gash that the concrete have gave. "Oooh, that don't look good. I'll be right back." I grabbed the first aid kit from the closet.

I got her all fixed up and had a talk with her. What Terrence said to her really hit home and I think he should start thinking before he speak next time. Mia came upstairs moments later and opened the door. She was talking shit as usual and telling Maria that she need to apologize because he was telling the truth and the truth hurts. Eric soon came up and try to calm the situation but she was pissing me the fuck off.

Cassie's POV:

While the Men helped the kids have fun again. The women tended to the babies. I went inside to make all the babies some bottles. Jaee followed behind me and went to use the bathroom. I could see that Shawny and Mia were arguing once again over the loud music that blasted in the houses sound system. That's all they ever do when we get together. I don't see why she don't just beat Mia's ass.

Kacey's POV:

I began to smell something burning and it was getting a little lighter. My eyes started to burn and it was getting smoky. I started to choke and I dropped the blunt that landed in my purse. Flames from the coats that hung in the closet surrounded me and my purse soon began to burn. I began to panic and attempted to get out of the closet but I was locked it. I hate doors that only opens one way. I banged on the door screaming for help at the top of my lungs. I bet not die today. I can't go like this.

Cassie's POV:

As I made the bottles, I heard someone beating on the wall. I couldn't tell If it was the bass of the music or it was Shawny and them fighting. I glanced up the stairs and nope, they were still arguing. I can still heard the beating. Jaee then came out the bathroom and called over to me as she looked at the closet. Its was a girl stuck in there and she was screaming bloody murder. I walked over to the closet and attempted to open the closet door but the metal door handle burned my damn hands. As soon as I pulled back, the whole door fell flat on me causing me to hit my head really hard on the wall amd it knocked me out straight.

Eric's POV:

These women argue too damn much. I'm trying to here them to calm down but that's just something that won't happen. I think Im just gone let them argue but play ref so they won't fight. All I know is that Mia bet not hit Shawny because she's pregnant and we all know it won't be too pretty After that. Just when things got heated, I heard someone screaming over the music. It sounded like Jaee but then again it sounded like Kacey. Shawny and Mia were so into the argument that they didn't even notice that I had left.

Once I got to the top of the stairs I could see that there was smoke everywhere and fire coming out of the closet by the bathroom. Jaee was on the other side of that fire and was jumping up and down for me to see her. I can't leave a woman crying for help so I ran down the stairs and took a leap of faith through the fire to get to her. Unfortunately, the ceiling collapsed behind me.

De'Mario's POV:

While we played freeze tag with the kids, there was a loud smack at the glass sliding doors. Everyone turned to see what it was and it was someone in flames on the floor screaming and squirming. The kids started screaming and everyone panicked. The living room soon burst into flames and I instantly ran around the to the fun door full force. My wife and kids is in that house. My everything is in there. I'd be damned If anything happens to them. I went through the front door and couldn't see shit. Smoke clogged my lungs and JR and RJ pulled me back.

Jr.: "Dawg, it's too late." He shook his head but I snatched my arm out of his grasp.

Me: "Fuck that!" I shouted and ran into the house. Mia ran pass me and out the door but Shawny and Maria was still upstairs yelling my name. I knew my babies was okay. I have some hope. "Hold on, Baby. Im coming!!" I shouted as I pushed through the smoke and upstairs.

I made it into Maria's room Shawny and her was hugged up. Tears were coming out of there eyes and I seen nothing but fear. A heartbreaking fear. I have a choice to make now, I can take Shawny first or Maria first. Whoever I take first has a garaunteed chance of making it out of this house alive but the other one is slim to none. Shawny seen it in my eyes and she whispered something in Maria's ear that made her cry harder and not want to let her go. Shawny pushed Maria towards me and nodded slowly.

Shawny: "Take her." She demanded with a tear.

Me: "Shawny, you're pregnant and-"

Shawny: "And I would never forgive you If she dies because you chose my life over hers." She said sternly more like she wanted to give me faith. Shawny loves Maria too damn much as If she was actually her daughter. She wouldn't dare put herself before Maria. This was a no brainer for her. She loved her that much. She would give her life for her. Even our unborn children that were almost here. I gave Shawny a hug and a kiss before picking Maria up and disappearing into the smoke.

De'Shawn's POV:

I sat in the middle of the floor under the smoke to breath better. I rocked back and forth as I hummed a toon in my head and rubbed my belly. I cry silent tears that burned my eyes because of the smoke. I coughed roughly and soon was gasping for air. Just when I thought things couldn't get any worse, I watched as the fire crept into the room and felt it come from under the floor. I scooted back as fast as I could but the fire caught my legs. Burning up my thighs. I removed my shirt to stop the traveling. It soon surrounded me and I nearly burst into flames until I felt arms lift me and carried me through the fire. Although it burned and him just as much as it hurt me, my man still came and got me. A tear fell from my face as I made it out the the front door. The house soon collapsed and D laid me out on the grass as the firemen came to pick me up. I saw collapse on the ground and my eyes soon Shut.

La'Shawn's POV:

De'Mario passed out on the grass After they told Shawny out of his hands. It was a horrifying sight. He was all burned up but Shawny barely had a leg anymore. She left alot of blood and skin on him. Her hair was gone and her face was half burned. I held back tears and glared at Mia. She left my fucking sister in there to die. I'm gonna kill this bitch. I ran over to her full speed and began beating her senseless. She's gonna pay for what the fuck she did. She's gonna fucking die.

The Smith family is broken. Shawny & D's in the hospital, Maria is traumatized, Mr.Smith just made it to the scene right when the fire happened and is full of regret. Regardless of what problems happened this morning or before the fire, everyone is broken. Eric, Jaee, Kacey, and Cassie never made it out of the fire. Let alone, alive. Mia got lucky, she left Shawny and Maria when she had the chance to live. Lala beat Mia out of anger and hurt.Shawny's barely alive and Maria can't help but cry. D was willing to get burned for his wife and although she barely had a chance already, he pulled her through the fire. He passed out because he didn't realize how bad he'd burns were until he seen that her skin had fell off and there was blood all over him... Will the babies survive? Will Shawny survive?
