Diamond's POV

"Mom, I'm thinking about getting a job"

I said to her as we sat in the living room watching Love, Simon. We had buckets of ice cream and popcorn next to us, eating it mindlessly.

I came from my grandparent house with Sam a few hours ago. To my dismay Miracle did not warm up to Sam like I thought she would.

Before we left Sam tried to hug her but, she wasn't having it. She used her small knuckles to punch Sam in the nose.

Instead of her regretting what she did she stated laughing and giggling.

"Sure, no problem just make sure you pick the right job. I don't want my daughter to be a stripper"

I busted out laughing at the thought of me being a stripper. I don't have that much confidence to put on those thin pieces of floss they be having on.

"I'll ask Sam if he know any jobs that are hiring"

My mom nodded her head and went back to watching the movie. By the time the movie ended my mom was half asleep with popcorn all over her clothes and lap.

I smiled at the view in front of me. It's been a while since I spent some quality time with my mom. I'm always with Sam, Noah, or Ruby.

I placed a blanket on her sleeping body and closed the tv. She's been having a hard time at work so I wasn't surprised when she came home with bags under her eyes.

I went upstairs to my room and dialed Sam's number. He picked up on the first ring.

"Hi baby girl"

"Hi Sammy"

"Why did you call princess? Is everything okay? Do you need me to come over? Is Miracle okay?"

"I'm fine Sam. I just called to ask if you know any jobs that are hiring"

I said with a giggle. That's how he acts whenever I call him. He's always worried about me. And now I guess Miracle is added on his list of people he worries about.

"Baby girl I don't want you to get a job. I want to be the one who give you everything you need."

"Sam its okay. I could just wash dishes or something"

"I refuse to let my princess clean after people. I could give you whatever you need. Just ask me for it"

I sighed. Sam is the type of person who likes to see me relax while he does all the work. He feels like it's his job as a man to provide for his woman.

That's how his father raised him.

That's also how my dad treated my mom before he went to the military. He felt like it as his job to provide for his family.

"Sam I want a job. I don't want to depend on my grandparents and mom to pay for what Miracle needs. I'm her mother"

I feel horrible as it is dumping my child on them. It costs a lot of money to raise a child and I'm not even contributing to the cost.

My grandparents probably spends $200 a month on Miracle. I've seen her room too.

She has a treasure chest full of natural hair products sitting in the corner of her room. Those things are expensive. Being natural isn't cheap.

I'm supposed to be taking care of her. My grandparents shouldn't have to  supposed to take care of themselves and my daughter.

"How about I give you $300 a week to cover the expenses for Miracle?"

"Sam we both know I'm not going to accept your money. There's nothing you could say that will make me take you're money"

"I'm coming in 10 mintues"

Before I could even reply he hung up the phone. I sighed and threw my phone on my bed.

I know when he comes here he's going  to give me a speech. I just don't want his money. I want the satisfaction of knowing I'm providing for my daughter.

About 8 minutes later my door opened up. Sam stood in front of me with grey sweatpants that losely hung off his hips and a white hoodie.

My eyes immediately traveled down his body. His muscles flexed as he placed his keys on my vanity. When he turned around Sam Jr came into view.

My mouth dropped open as I stared at his imprint. He's huge.

"Are you done checking me out now?" Sam said with humor laced in his voice.

I looked down at my phone and smiled. I thought he wouldn't notice I was basically eye raping him.

He climbed into my bed and kicked off his shoes. He pulled me to his chest and kissed my forehead.

"Diamond why won't you let me give you the money?"

He said softly as he messaged the back of my head. I sighed and buried my head in his chest. I knew that's what he was going to talk to me about.

"Sam I just want to make the money I need to provide for my daughter. I can't rely on my grandparents for the rest of my life."

"I'll take the responsibility of being Miracle's dad Diamond. I don't mind helping you and your daughter out. I love Diamond, I'll do anything for you"

He said as he kissed my forehead. He ran his fingers through my hair as he looked at me in the eyes.

All I did was blink and tears came streaming down my face. You don't find many guys that wants to be the father of a kid that's not theirs.

I didn't tell Sam I had a child not just because I thought he was going to leave me but, because I thought he was going to neglect Miracle.

He wiped my tears and kissed my cheek.

"One day I will marry you and adopt Miracle so I can call her my daughter. I can't wait for the day I see Miracle throwing flowers down the isle. Then mintues later my beautiful bride comes down the isle next, looking like a queen"

Even thought what he's saying might be true I don't want to believe it. I don't want to get my hopes up and get  hurt in the end.

"Sam you don't have to step in as her father if you really don't want to"

I hate being a burden on people. Even the fact that my grandparents are taking care of my child makes me feel like shit.

I don't want Sam to feel like he's trapped just because he has a kid that's not even his to take care of.

"Baby girl don't stress about it, I'm the one who wants to step up and be Miracle's father, you're not forcing me."

I nodded my head and placed a kiss on his neck. I snuggled closer into his chest. He tried to tighten his arms around me but he hissed.

I looked up at him and I saw pain written on his face. I removed myself from him and sat up straight.

"Sam, what's wrong?"

"Nothing baby, I'm fine"

He said as he cradled his left arm. I shook my head and pulled up his hoodie sleeve.

I gasped as I saw what caused his so much pain.

It was a Diamond tattoo with a king crown on it. I could tell that the king crown represtened him and I was obviously the Diamond.

His arm was red signaling that it was a fresh tattoo. My mouth hung opened as I looked at the tattoo in awe.

"When did you get this?"

I said as I ran my fingertips along the tattoo. He smiled down at the tattoo and looked back up at me.

"After we came from your grandparents house I went to the tattoo parlor and got this"

I was still shocked. He had a tattoo that represents me on his body.

"Sam what if we break up. What are you going to do about the tattoo?"

I curiously asked. Even though I don't want to think about us breaking up in kind of curious about what he'll do with the tattoo.

"Baby don't even think about that. I want to be with you even when we're ghost. I don't want to think about losing you. Ever."

He kissed my forehead and pulled me closer to him. I smiled as I kissed his chest.

No matter what he says I will not take his money. I don't want to rely on a man. It was sweet of him to offer though.

I found the one.

Unknown POV

"Any new updates on Diamond, Sam, or Miracle?"

I asked impatiently. It's been a few hours since I had an update on them and I'm starting to get mad.

How hard is to get some dirt on them?

"Yes boss. Diamond and Sam is currently laying in bed cuddling up to each other. It's been a pretty boring day for them"

This can't be possible. There has to be something more than this.

Since I'm friends with them I'll just go visit them and act like I just came over for fun.

You know the saying keep your friends close and your enemies. I never believed so strongly in it until now.
