Kitty cried in the car all the way to Sarena's house. She could not believe this was happening. Icee tried to put his hands on her? He accused her of cheating? Did he think so little of her? All the things she went through for him and this is where they were? She gave that man everything. All of her. There was no more she could give.

"Kitty, stop worrying yourself to death, you're gonna make yourself sick, and the baby," Sarena said when she pulled up at her house.

"What am I supposed to do Rena? My husband thinks I cheated on him!"

"Girl, he's a fool, and once he lets all this shit sit in, he will realize that. Come on, get out, you need to go lay down and get some rest."

"But what am I supposed to do? I don't even know. Was leaving the right thing to do?"

"Look I don't know everything," Sarena said, helping her out of the car. "Fuck, this is a marriage and all marriages go through things. You both need to pick a corner, cool out, and let this shit go."

How could she just let it go? She didn't even recognize Icee saying those things about her. One day he was the loving and affectionate man, pampering her and taking all her moody attitude, and then he just blew up into someone she never wanted to see again. Because of some song? She had to hear this song that was making him go crazy.

"I'm making you something to eat. But in the meantime, go lay down in the guest bedroom. I need to call Vic and let him know what's going on, then pick up the girls."

"Rena, maybe I should go to the house and stay there till I figure this out. I don't want to be a pain to you and Victor."

"Shut up girl, how are you a pain? You're my sister. You're pregnant, and someone has to take care of you. Go lay your ass down and rest. Hard-headed ass!"

She listened to her sister because she knew if she didn't, she would forcibly make her go lay down. She went to the bedroom, slipped off her shoes, and sat on the bed. The KStyle Fashions shirt she'd changed into before heading up to the loft was making her uncomfortable. It was too tight. Even the largest size they had was not big enough for her belly. She unbuttoned it so her stomach could breathe. Maybe Sarena had some bigger shirts or even Victor.

She left the room and went towards her sister's room when she overheard Sarena talking on the phone.

"Go pick up the body, I'll text you the address...no we ain't leave no motherfucking DNA on site, and so what if we did, you're going to handle it! .... I'm not yelling at you, Victor...What? Okay, whatever...Don't fuck with Icee. He was tripping but he really believed that because Kitty didn't tell him what that punk-ass did....okay, stand down! Damn! Always want to cancel somebody and you don't know the whole story...I got my sis, she good....we good?.... Okay, I love you."

She went into her sister's room, look through the dresser, and grabbed one of Victor's shirts. She hurriedly made it back to the guest room. Would Victor kill Icee because of what he did? This shit was crazy. She put the shirt on and got into bed, her mind going in crazy directions of what was to be.

Did Icee still love her?

Did she still love him?

Could they get over this?

She was almost asleep when her sister came in with a tray of food.

"Wake yo ass up, you need to eat before you go to sleep, and don't even argue with me about it."

She sat up in the bed, looked at the food, then smiled. Her favorite childhood food, beans, and rice.

"See, I knew you would eat that, weird ass!"

She nodded and dug in. She was the only one of her sisters that loved her mom's famous beans and rice. Kitty would eat more than her serving as Krystle would always give hers away to her. The other tolerated it but hated it.

"You always ate weird Lil girl. Figured you would give up meat one day," Sarena said, sitting in the bed. "Mommy would make all this amazing food and all you would want to eat was rice."

"And beans!"

"And fucking rice with beans. Ugh!"

"It's so good!" She licked her spoon. "You don't even miss the meat."

"Whatever with that."

Sarena watched her eat all the food and gave her a second helping. 

"You finish and go to sleep. I need to get the girls, they are with Victor's parents. They spent most of the summer with them in New Orleans, and then I keep sending them back over there. Luckily they are the best grandparents and love them, but sheesh, let me give them a break."

After she finished her food, she sat the tray by the door and went to the bathroom, before heading back to the bed. She grabbed her phone and looked at it. Several missed calls from Icee, but she ignored them. She called T-Zack.

"What's up Kitty. You good? You went back home to Icee, cuz my boy fucked up without you."

"Zack, I need to hear that song."

"What? Hell naw!"

"Come on Z, I need to hear that song that has Icee out of his mind."

"Naa, I can't do that. Yo man already fucked up my phone listening to that shit. So hell no!"

"What did it say then? Please Zack, tell me."

"Kitty that shit wasn't right, and I didn't think for one minute you fucked with that boy. Ice didn't at first...till he saw your car over there, then he just flipped."

She let out a breath. She could see where he jumped to conclusions, but still, he was supposed to trust her.

"Zack, I need to hear the song. Then I can understand fully what is happening. I mean, I'm mad...hurt...confused...and I'm scared."

"Okay lil ma, I'll send it to you, but don't you ever tell Icee I gave it to you."

"Thank you, Zack."

She waited till the song hit her inbox then she played it. She was not the least bit surprised about any of the Bonnie part. Figured he was possibly the father. She would rather it be him than to blow up Tempo's world. In Victor's research, he was the one that spent the night with Bonnie the night before the Grammy's. Tempo was practically engaged to his girlfriend for three years. What the hell was he thinking? She hoped and prayed TA was the father then Tempo could go live his life.

When the song got to talking about her, she almost threw up all her food. That mother fucker was demented. Saying those things about her, then revealing she had a tattoo down there. Then calling out Icee. No wonder he had gone crazy.

She sat back in the bed, contemplating what to do next. It still was not that easy. Icee should have seen through the bullshit. Really? Sleep with TA? Not if he was the last mother fucking guy on earth. Something was mentally wrong with that boy, and she was mad no one saw it till now. She wanted to go to his dead body and kill him again. She wanted to stab him in his heart. She wanted to slice off his dick and stuff it in his mouth.

Okay, that was too much. She was letting herself think dark thoughts and that was not her. Even when she was doing bad, she only did bad when others did her wrong. She was not out there hurting people just because she could. She'd spent a night in jail and had no plans on going back.

She looked at her phone and hit play on the first message from Icee.

"Kitty, baby, I'm sorry. Come home, I need you here. We can work this shit out. You know I love you and didn't mean that shit. I was fucked up. Outta my mind and tripping. You come home, I'll sleep on the damn couch, but come home so I know you're safe. I mean...I know you're safe if you're with Big Sister, but I need you safe here with me. Baby, call me, okay. I love you."

Next message:

"Kitty baby, I'm sorry. Can you please pick up the phone and talk to me. Okay, okay, if you don't wanna come home, fine, okay. Stay the night with sis, I'll come to pick you up in the morning and we can talk about this. I want that mother fucker dead for what he did to you and sis. He shouldn't be breathing, I tell you that. Kitty, you okay? The baby okay? My lil man doing good? I love you ma."

Next message:

"Kitty, I know you're mad, and hurt, and hate me, and I deserve that shit. But trust I'm not giving up on us. You're my world. I can't live without you. Imma keep calling, I know you gonna listen to my messages...I hope. Anyway, I'm taking care of lil sis like I know you would want me to. Nobody is ever gonna hurt her again, I promise you that."

Next message:

"Hey, baby. I took lil sis to get checked out. I mean, we don't know what that lil motherfucker got. So she's been tested. On some antibodies. Took the morning after pill. Some really good pain meds. She's a tough cookie that's for sure. That's that Kelly gene," he said then chuckled. "I'm glad she's here with me keeping me company. I miss you so fucking much baby. Please come home. I love you, baby, so much."

She rubbed a tear from her face. There were more messages, but she couldn't listen to them anymore right now. She checked her text messages and Icee sent her a video. She hit play.

It was Icee's face, holding his phone and talking.

"Hey baby, I wanted you to see my face even if I can't see yours. I wish I had you in my arms right now. Anyway, I want to sing for you...you and my baby."

Icee started to sing "My Heart, My Soul, My Everything" and she could not help but smile. She got comfortable in bed and set the phone on the nightstand so she could fall asleep to his voice.

A/N: What of Icee and Kitty? Can they fix this?

And about that nugget about Tempo, so there you have it, he's who Kitty was protecting. I figured drop that gem since Bonnie's story is coming soon. No one guessed him and I thought I set it up well...again not saying he is the father, but now we have two possibles. A third revealed in her book.
