it wouldn't feel right.
     
     

Luke
     
    I watched as Miracle played with A’Laya, since it was visiting dayI decided to bring LayLay to see her. I can't imagine the thought of our daughter not seeing her moma everyday, Miracle’s missing important moments in her life, me not bein' able to hold her at night, not bein' able to just chill and thug like we used to. To be honest, I think this whole situation fuckin' wit me more than her, she takin' it like a boss while I'm goin' crazy tryna remain a Street King and raise my seed.  Sometimes a nigga wished he never skipped out on college and got into this life, but with a son on the way and no real way to survive I did what I had to do.
     
    My son's mother, Courtnei, told me one day I'd regret jumping into this lifestyle and I swear she ain't lie. I was captain of the basketball team, star of the track team, and a nigga grades was on point. The day Court told me she was pregnant and her peoples was threatening to kick her out the crib, I went straight to Uncle Killa and he put me on so that I could get her and my son straight. I was 17 and a senior when that happened, now here I am 27 years old and still deep in this game; I need to get out so that I can be a better example for Lucas and A’Laya, but it's like once you in these streets the only way out is a cell or a grave. smh
     
    "Luke, are you listening to me?" Miracle asked knocking me from my thoughts.
     
    "Wassup baby girl?" I asked.
     
    "I asked if you had talked to the lawyer lately?" she asked.
     
    "He working round the clock on yo case to get you a lesser sentence. How you holdin' up in here?" I asked.
     
    "It's tough bein' away from, but I'm surviving. How 'bout you, looks like you losing sleep," she said.
     
    "I'm stressing Miri, this ain't where you belong ma. I rather be taking this bid instead of you, A’Laya needs you. I'm tryna balance this street life and raise her at the same time shit got me fucked up ma," I said.
     
    "Bae, I know you stressing but I need you to keep it together for our daughter and for me. Luke if you fall apart out there then I’ll fall apart in here, I need your strength to get me through this shit," she said.
     
    "I'm tryin' Miracle, but I just-"
     
    "Visiting hours are over," The guard called out.
     
    "Baby I love you ok, take care of LayLay, and please call my lawyer to see what the hold up is. A’Laya mommy loves you baby, I'll see you soon," she said.
     
    "We love you too baby girl, be good," I replied.
     
    "You bet not give up on me Luke," she said as tears streamed down her face.
     
    "Too solid for that, dry ya eyes ma we gon' get you outta here," I replied as they escorted her out the room.
     
    LayLay screamed and cried as they took Miracle away, shit was killing me to see my baby girl cry like that. smh I finally got her to calm down once we got in the car to head back to the crib. I was driving down the highway and I just got this weird feeling that something was about to go completely wrong; I just hope it's a feeling and not something real.

CHAPTER 6: REBUILDING THE TEAM
     

Legacy
     
    "Look Khyia just chill aight, I got this everything gon' be cool ma," I said.
     
    "All I'm saying is you don't have to be out on the streets anymore. You're at the exact level as Killa so why be out there? I bet Chi ain't out in them Houston streets, he probably chilling with his kids and letting money come to him," she replied.
     
    We had been arguing since yesterday about me still conducting business in the streets. I told her that I needed to get up with Chi's lil team on some shit and she just been trippin'. The three of us had our own lil team of hittas that ran for us before we ever even knew of this 'new power' that we now have. We spent months building these teams with lil niggas that we knew could be trusted, it would be wrong for me to just cut ties with Chi team but keep mine and Luke's onboard. Nah, shit don't work like that and I know my brother would want
