My mama came and hugged me before we went with everybody else.
“I’m sorry, baby,” she apologized.
“It’s okay, Mama. I’m not mad... shocked, but not mad,” I assured her, and she smiled.
She followed everybody else inside of the dining room and Titan and Saint were still in the family room with me.
“How you feeling, Tink?” Titan asked as he pulled my body into his.
“I don’t know,” I mumbled, since my face was buried into his chest.
I looked up, and Saint was still standing there. When he saw me looking at him, he walked closer to us and pushed Titan out the way.
“Fuck off my sister, nigga,” he snarled before pulling me into a hug.
“A nigga about to be broke,” he laughed as he hugged me tight and kissed my temple. “Shit, I already got Low, Eve, my mama and the kids, plus Jessa and her tribe. I guess one more won’t hurt,” he mentioned.
“Who’s Jessa?” I asked.
“Our older sister. She thinks she’s better than me... well us now, because our pops was married to her mama. She’s miserable as fuck though, and I only go around for my niece and nephews,” he explained.
“Aight, nigga... that’s enough. Sister or not... unhand my woman before I go in there and have Eve fixing my plate,” Titan joked as he pushed Saint out the way.
“And you’ll be a dead nigga,” Saint countered with a grimace.
The three of us joined everybody in the dining room so we could eat. Saint’s stepdad and uncle filled me in on my dad and outside of having plenty women, he was pretty heavy in the streets. I got to know Saint’s kids and Myheir was a little charmer, but Noble was more on the quiet side. Even Tre and Iren’s son called me Tee Cady. Harlow was a mess and claimed me as her sister too. Today went nothing like I expected, but it was everything I didn’t know I needed. By the time we were ready to go, I had everybody’s contact information and was added to the girls’ group chat.
“Don’t hesitate to call me if you have problems with this nigga. He maybe fast, but that nigga can’t outrun these bullets,” Saint joked as he hugged me for what felt like the millionth time.
“Whatever, nigga. Make that the last time you put your hands on my girl.” Titan shoved him and walked me to the truck after we said our goodbyes. Today was definitely a day that I would never forget.

We were back at Titan’s place decompressing from today’s events. We were lounging on his sofa with his head in my lap and my legs wrapped around him.
“Tink,” he called my name.
“Hmm?”
“You good?”
We sat in silence for a while before I spoke again.
“I went from only having me and my mama to having an entire family. That was a lot to take in, but I’m okay. I now feel... complete,” I stated honestly.
Titan turned his head so that he was now looking at me.
“You didn’t feel complete before?” He asked.
I shook my head ‘no’.
“Not even when I stroked that pussy from the back?” He smirked.
“You’re an idiot,” I laughed. “You know what I mean.”
“I do, and I love that you found your people. Even if it’s that ignorant ass nigga.”
“Don’t be talking about my brother,” I spat.
