Phillipa sat on the couch shaking with anger. "What the fuck?" Renée said. Jasmine shook her head and held Phillipa's hand. Renée paced in front of the coffee table. "What the fuck?" She repeated. Renée took a deep breath and stopped. "Give me the flash drive," she held out her hand. Phillipa shook her head.

"What? No! I'm naked on these!" She said shyly. Renée rolled her eyes.

"Now is not the time be a prude. I can't help you if I don't know what I'm up against. Now give it," Renée said. Phillipa sighed and handed Renée the flash drive that was tucked into her pocket. "Before we watch this, how bad is it?" Renée asked as she moved towards the TV.

"Uhh... it's pretty raunchy," Phillipa blushed. Jasmine and Renée mentally prepared themselves for what was about to pop up. The first video was filmed in Pippa's old apartment. Literally 22 seconds into the video Phillipa shot up. "Pause the video," she said. Renée did as she was told, and watched Phillipa walk closer to the TV. Thankfully she was only on top of Lin with the covers at her waist.

"What's wrong?" Jasmine asked. Phillipa pointed to the floor next to the edge of her old bed.

"You see that shiny thing," Phillipa asked. The girls nodded. "Steven gave me that necklace, and it broke the first time Lin and I had sex. And when we woke up that's where it was," Phillipa placed her hand over her mouth and sat on the coffee table.

"This was the first time you and Lin had sex?" Jasmine asked. Phillipa nodded and started to cry. The group continued to watch the videos. There was a time they had a quickie in the shower, the kitchen portion of Christmas Eve, Lin's birthday, and the worst ones were the times at the theater. "On the stage? On Hamilton's desk?" Jasmine asked. Phillipa shook her head mortified.

"I thought you were only gonna do it in the dressing room," Renée said. Phillipa shrugged and looked back at her friends. Tears coated her cheeks and sleeves.

"He talked me into it," she whispered. Phillipa hung her head in shame. What was she doing? This was not how she was raised. She was never a promiscuous person. She never liked to show off her body, or even have people think of her in a lustful way. With Steven, they didn't have sex often because she felt self-conscious and weird around him. But, with Lin she felt liberated. She felt like she could do anything. He didn't look at her as just a baby factory. He looked at her as a woman and a partner. That's probably why she was willing to give him a child. A child. Her child. Stevie. Phillipa stood up and looked at the time on the microwave. 7:30 "Where is Stevie?" She panicked.

"What do you mean?" Renée asked. Phillipa started to pace between the couch and bar stools.

"She isn't home! She got out of school at 2:30! Where is she?" Phillipa freaked. Jasmine and Renée got up and walked towards the worried mom.

"Maybe she went to work," Jasmine said. Phillipa nodded and ran to the phone. She picked it up and called the Greene Turtle.

"Hi...This is Stevie's mom, has she been into work?" Phillipa asked. There was silence on her end before she broke down into tears even harder. "Okay, thank you," Phillipa hung up and put the phone back on the hook. She leaned against the fridge and ran her hands through her hair.

"What did they say?" Jasmine asked. Phillipa shook her head, and let out a small scream.

"She called off work an hour ago for the whole week. I have to go find her," Phillipa said. She grabbed her keys and her purse. "Just stay here, in case she comes back," Phillipa said. Renée grabbed her arm and stopped her from running out the garage.

"Where are you going?" Renée asked. Phillipa pulled had away and sighed.

"A place she knows well. A place she grew up. The Bronx," Phillipa said. The two watched Phillipa hop into her Escalade and open the garage door.

"This could end very badly," Renée whispered. Jasmine nodded, and the two and went to sit on the couch. The turned off the video of Lin and Phillipa in the theater and turned on Netflix. They needed a pallet cleanser.

Stevie walked to her friends old crack house and stopped at the door. She took a deep breath and sighed. She was about to knock on the door when she heard a cry. She knew that it was Mason's cry. She could pick out her sons cry out of a crowd, anytime. It was his scared cry. He got that cry when he could tell people weren't happy. Stevie backed up and kicked in the door. When she came in, her ex Brandon was sitting with Mason in his lap. "What the fuck is this?" Stevie said. Brandon smirked.

"I knew you would come eventually," Brandon said. Stevie heard the door shut and there was a gang of Brandon's friends behind her. "You want the kid back? You'll get on your knees and finished the job. I paid you for all my friends. You took off after me. I don't play that," he said. Stevie bit her lip and shook her head.

"Not in front of my son. Put him on the couch and turn on the tv," Stevie demanded. Brandon grinned and did as he was told. "Who's first?" Stevie said. She took off her jacket and threw it on the table. Brandon sat back down and watched his friends circle around Stevie. One hit her, and the rest started to go in on her.

☂️☂️☂️

Twenty minutes passed until a banging on the door sounded. Stevie looked at the door in agony. She had a bruise on her forehead, her lip was busted. She had a bloody nose and she was pretty sure her arm was broken. Quickly, the smallest guy that was on her was pulled off, and she saw that she was bleeding down under. "Lil Carl whatcha doing?" Brandon asked.

"This is the girl that you wanted to get back at?" Carl said. Brandon nodded. Carol flipped him off. "That's stupid as fuck. She could call the cops on your ass, cause she isn't 18 yet. Let her get her kid, and get up outta here! Don't make me go get Mickey," Carol said. The guys ran out of the house as Phillipa walked in. She saw Stevie naked from the waist down and grabbed her pants and gave them to her.

"Who are you?" Brandon spat. Phillipa looked at him, rose an eyebrow, and folded her arms.

"I'm the mother. And I'm pretty sure your not 18. So if I were you. I would leave. Now," she said. Brandon sucked his teeth and walked out of the apartment. Carl helped Stevie up and went to get Mason from the couch.

"Thanks, Carl," Stevie whispered. Carl handed Mason to Phillipa and nodded.

"No problem. Debby misses you," he said. Stevie put her jacket on and gave a small smile.

"I miss her too. And tell Domonique I said hey," Stevie smiled. She gave Carl a hug and watched him leave out. Phillipa gave Mason to Stevie and watched her hug him tightly. "Don't ever do that again baby boy. Don't go with people that you don't know." She said, despite the fact that he won't remember that. Phillipa let Stevie walk out first and they went to Phillipa's SUV.

"Where's your truck?" Phillipa asked. Stevie told her about how she left her truck at school and took the metro into the city.

"I was not about to bring my brand new truck down here. That shit could get stolen," Stevie said, as she put her seatbelt on. Phillipa laughed and started her car.

"Great to know," she said. Stevie laughed along with her but shook her head.

"You won't have to worry about coming down here again. I don't think Brandon won't bother us anymore. But, to be on the safe side, take a left and go the long way home," Stevie informed. Phillipa nodded and did as Stevie said. The two made it home in two hours and forty-five minutes as opposed to just two hours. When they got in, Lesley was on Jasmines hip and Renée was making dinner.

"Stevie!" The two dropped what they were doing and ran to her. She was engulfed in a hug and loved it. The all came to the living room and sat Stevie down. Mason slipped off her lap and crawled to his toys, so she took her sister from Jasmine.

"Hi, baby girl. Did you miss me? I missed you," Stevie cooed. Phillipa looked at the flash drive and turned to Stevie.

"Can you take them upstairs? It's time for their baths," Phillipa said. Stevie nodded and picked Mason up by his overalls. For some reason he liked it. She took the two up the stairs and to the bathroom. As soon as Stevie was out of sight Phillipa plopped onto the couch in a ball of sadness.

"Hey, have you decided what you are gonna do about the drive, and Lin?" Jasmine asked. Phillipa nodded and grabbed the drive off the mantel. She took it to the backyard and grabbed a lighter on her way out.

"No pun intended but I'm literally want to watch it burn. I don't want there to be any prospects of this getting out. This is not going to be my Reynolds Pamphlet," she said. She lit the lighter and ran the drive under it until fire caught on. She then dropped it into the fire pit and walked away. "And as for Lin, I want a separation," she said. The girls looked at her confused.

"Over sex tapes?" Jasmine asked. Phillipa shook her head.

"No. Over his mistress. Apparently, he has a girlfriend in the city, and she's pregnant with his kid. A boy," Phillipa said. She looked at the counter and wiped her tears. "I'm his wife. I was the one that was supposed to give him his son. Not some whore off the street. You should have seen her. She was just as confused as I was," Phillipa said. She clenched her stomach and leaned against the counter. "Do you know how stupid and naive I feel?" She said. Renée nodded.

"Pip. It's okay. Just talk to him about it. I know what it's like. You c-" Phillipa shook her head.

"You and Alexis can move on from what you both did. He got another woman pregnant!" She yelled. "There is a child involved now! You can't just get over that," Phillipa said. Jasmine was about to say something but Lin interrupted her.

"Give us a moment?" He asked. The girls looked to Phillipa for consent. When she nodded the two went up to help Stevie with the babies. "How are you doing?" He asked. Phillipa wiped a free falling tear and shrugged her shoulders.

"I'm fine. What do you want?" She said. Lin rubbed the back of his neck and twiddled his thumbs.

"So you know about Vanessa..." he started. Phillipa nodded and looked away from him and to the floor. "She meant nothing to me. It was a one-time thing. Back when we were in that huge argument," Lin explained. Phillipa rolled her eyes and folded her arms.

"Lin she said she was your girlfriend. Girlfriend isn't a one-time thing," Phillipa said. Lin shook his head and held up his hands in defense.

"I swear to you. It was one time. I felt horrible afterward," Lin confessed. Phillipa lifted her head and put her hair behind her ears.

"Look Lin. I loved you. Hell! I still love you. I am in love with you and this is killing me. I thought I could trust you, and thought that maybe you gave even a small fuck about me. I respected you as my husband enough to keep it in my pants around anyone else. Why didn't you do the same? Am I not good enough? Am I not to your satisfaction?" Phillipa asked. Lin hung his head. "That's not a rhetorical question. I really want to know if I was the one who drove you to cheat," Phillipa continued. Lin shook his head moved closer to her.

"Pippa, you were more than enough for me. I was the reason. I was an idiot and thought that I wanted something that I didn't. Words can't describe how sorry I am," he apologized. Lin stood face to face with Phillipa and kissed her lips softly. Quickly, Phillipa started to melt, but her heart ached. She pushed off of Lin and folded her arms.

"I want to separate," she whispered. "If you love me as you claim, then you will give me the time and space that I need. You can see your daughter whenever, but I can't be Phillipa and Lin right now. I just want to be Phillipa," she explained. Lin nodded and stepped back.

"I get it. Take all the time you need. I'm staying at Chris' so if you ever need anything that's where I will be," he said. Lin turned towards the door and walked out. It took everything in Phillipa not to chase after Lin. Her body wanted to be with him. But, her heart could take it. She just stood. Alone. In the kitchen. After all, she had been through in a day, she needed a drink. Too bad Lin knocked her up too.
