That was the hardest part of losing someone. You longed to hear them again, knowing that you wouldn’t.
“Capri, I know you have to be strong for the Infernos because you are Lady Inferno. You never have to be strong when it comes to me… I’m your big brother and whenever you need to break down those walls, I’m here to break them down for you.” He kissed the top of my head as I sobbed while he held me.
“We do, though. Even before you knew I was your nephew, you took me under your wing and looked out for me. I was able to help my aunt with bills and provide for my family. You built this bitch brick by brick, and you need to pop yo shit more.”
“I know you feel like a weaker man because you couldn’t slide with us… your disease gets in the way and that shit fucks with you. Capo, you know we riding for you like you would ride for any of us. We sitting in our own private fucking hospital because you always thinking ahead to make sure we remain protected… always putting shit in place for us.”
Corleon held both Skyler and Jeffie’s hands and put them in one of the awaiting cars.
“Have you been smelling gas, sir?” Corleon also threw on his fake professional voice, which freaked me out. We all knew he was a geek, but to hear him talk like one was a different experience.
“Plus, my boo told me that all this shit has to be off limits for my daughter.”
“You have a daughter?” Why was I learning all this shit about Corleon now?
“Yeah… Estella. How the fuck you in her home and don’t know her name?”
“Well, where the fuck is she? House seemed empty as fuck when we were upstairs.” I was becoming even more confused the more I stood here.
Give me some time to gather that shit together… He has a conference and party honoring him in Ashbourne this weekend. Apparently, he was born and raised there. I got tickets for me and my wives to attend.”
I stuck around while Corleon gave me the tour of his massive ass house, and his bedroom that had a bed fit for three.
“You’re knocked up, too? At this point, I minds well give Goon those chocolate babies,” Zoya snatched the test up while staring at it.
Me and Capri both looked at Zoya as she continued to look at the pregnancy test in her hand. “And when you gonna give Goon his babies?”
“I’m trying to figure out how to get over this breakup… not thinking about Gerald or a baby right now. I just need to get my mind together… it gets to the point where the strong one doesn’t feel so strong anymore.”
“I guess seeing my brother become a husband, and now about to be a father has me in my feelings… it was easy to ignore having children because no one thought Menace would do it. I’d deny it, but he makes me want to have what he has with Stevie… someone that chooses him. Knows his struggles but still makes the conscious effort to be there. Shit like that matters to us Casellis, because we’ve never had that. Never had anyone to choose us.”
I walked into our hotel suite as I watched both Jeffie and Skyler dancing while singing into their makeup brushes.
As long as she made Geeky’s life easier, I was good with her. My only goal was to make both of my wives’ lives complication free. I didn’t want them ever having to think too long on a decision, because I was going to handle it for them. Fuck being a passenger princess in the car, I wanted that to be their life for everything. Even when we started to have more kids, the minute they even looked overwhelmed, I was hiring a full staff to relieve their stress and allow them to be mothers that didn’t require stress.
When it came to mine, I wasn’t going to have them feeling like they had to sacrifice anything for our children. I wanted them to be happy and fulfilled, too. Never questioning if they could have done more as mothers because they would already know.
I sat on the edge of the bed, fully dressed and waiting for those two, and Estella crawled across the bed and wrapped her small hands around my eyes. “Guess who, Core-Core?”
“Umm… Skyler?”
“No...

“Whole word, Estella… my star.” I smiled as I looked down into her eyes. This little girl was my entire world. There was nothing that I wouldn’t do for her, and I hope she knew it. Even with Skyler still going through this bogus custody case, I would sit...

There was only so much time before I went ahead and handled shit the way I wanted. “You both are sickening,” Skyler teased, knowing she loved it. She tried keeping her distance and keeping my daughter away from me, and I sent court documents to her computer. They were fake, but I told her I would take her to court for my child.
