Could it be…? Is it truuuuee…? Schweetpea1870 still wants to write the sequel to Babysitting With Uncle Reezy?! My answer to that:

Schweetie: Mmmmhmm, I do, I do, I do-oooooo! XD (no, I do not own Kel's orange soda line! ;))

What's goooooooodd?! You probably never thought it was gonna happen, but I'm back into this story y'all! I realized a few days ago that I have soooo many plans and future one-shots to write, but I can't do that until I actually write this story, knaa'mean? So… I was inspired again:)

This story is picking up right where we left off, guys. Legit right after Riley and Huey find out the news [PAUSE: if you're new here, I'd advise you to go back and read the prequel to this first so everything will make sense and you'll feel all at one with the story and such:)] . It's also going to go a little different; the story plot will be progressing along in order going by the weeks, all gradually leading up to the main event. If I did my math right (y'all know how much I hate that shit), I should end up with 40 chapters total, so bear with me. AND you know I love you guys if I'm starting the story before I have each chapter finalized with a specific topic. I'm just really in the mood to start writing:)

So, without further ado, let's jump back in this. Thanks again for the people that have been following the story from the beginning and to the new guests and readers as well. As always, reviews will be acknowledged.

Let it begin.

Week 4

[Unofficial Start Date: Saturday, July 14th]

Riley's POV

Two pink lines….

Positive….

Pregnant.

Riley Freeman was still in shock, incapable of saying anything as he stared down at the capped pregnancy test. Five minutes later after his "fall," he was now seated on the couch, continuing to look down at the test while his girlfriend sat next to him.

The mother of my child.

Riley finally drew his eyes up from the stick and turned his head to look at her. Cindy McPhearson's eyes were already focused on him, quietly observing his actions. He felt frozen as they made direct eye contact; her beautiful ice blue eyes, usually dancing with flickers of playfulness, fun, and mischievousness, had no traces of the prior as she blinked slowly back at him. He saw uncertainty. Nervousness. Fear. Even what looked to be shame.

He had no doubt that he was probably looking back at her the same way. He wanted to say something, anything to comfort her. But his mind was blank. Just as he tried to open his mouth to make some words come out, his brother and sister-in-law entered the living room again.

"Here." Huey Freeman spoke quietly, extending an ice pack to his younger brother as he approached the two at the couch. Riley narrowed his eyes slightly before tugging the item out his hand.

"Thanks." He grunted.

"How's your head?" Jazmine Dubois asked, placing a bottle of water on the coffee table and nudging it towards him.

Riley scoffed. "Fine, J."

"You did faint, Riley." She said gently.

"I did not 'faint!'" He immediately countered with air-quotes. "I felt light-headed and passed out! There's a difference."

"No. There's not." Huey stated curtly, crossing his arms as he stood in his place behind the coffee table, glaring down at him. Jazmine sighed as she sat down on the corner of the table, turning her body slightly so she could look at both Riley and Cindy.

"Man, fuck you." Riley grumbled, closing his eyes briefly as he held the ice to the back of his head.

"…You really wanna go there?" Huey's cold voice made Riley snap his eyes back open and look up to meet his brother's equal scowl. It was a tense moment of silence as they both maintained their glares at each other. Then Huey spoke again.

"How… the fuck… did this happen?" He uttered calmly, his eyes now wavering back and forth between Riley and Cindy, who both visibly bristled.

"I could ask y'all two the same thing!" Riley shot back at him. Then his eyes went to Jazmine, slightly softening. In the midst of everything, he had almost forgotten her equal news as well. She was gonna be a second-time mommy.

Regardless, he and Cindy weren't the only ones that fucked up. "What happened, Mariah?" He sneered.

"Oh, don't even start with me, Riley!" She retorted, propping one hand on her hip. "I heard that you didn't use protection!"

"What?" Huey blurted, shooting daggers at the youngest Freeman. "Are you serious?"

"Jazmine, I told you, it was three days after my period!" Cindy, who had been very quiet the entire time, finally spoke up defensively.

"I know Cindy, but that doesn't matter." Jazmine stressed as she spoke to her. "No woman is ever 100% safe and in the clear unless they use protection!"

"Well what about y'all two?" Riley interjected. "I don't think either of y'all were doin' all that. I know you ain't takin' no pills and I know you probably ain't use no condom. I mean, unless it broke again." He shrugged with an eyeroll.

"We're married!" Huey and Jazmine both exclaimed at the same time.

"Our business is irrelevant." Huey added.

"The hell it is!" Riley scoffed. "You guys are in the wrong just as much as we are. Worse too, cuz it happened to yo asses twice!"

"That's why I'm trying to school your dumbass!" Huey replied in annoyance. "Both of you! But especially you, Riley. I want you to at least try to do better than me. Don't repeat the same exact mistakes I've made."

Riley and Cindy were quiet for a moment, eying them both before Riley broke the silence again, sucking his teeth before he did so.

"Man, please." He argued quietly. "You sayin' Jamilah was a mistake?"

"Never." Huey responded immediately with pause. Riley barely noticed that Jazmine had chimed into the "never" as well until she spoke.

"She may not have been planned," She started, making strong eye contact with Riley. "But is, and never will be considered, a mistake." He nodded at her, not disagreeing at all about his niece. He already knew the answer. He just wanted to hear it.

"She is the best blessing in our lives." Jazmine continued, reaching her hand out without looking back at Huey. He automatically took it as she went on. "All children are. No matter what circumstance. No matter how they got there. No matter how dumb the parents may be," She paused to grin at Riley and Cindy's light smirks. "But they are meant to be." She shrugged gently, her free hand finding its way onto her own stomach. Riley's gaze hovered on it before he turned his head to glance at Cindy's. She also had a gentle hand on her covered stomach, looking down at it as Riley was. They lifted their heads after a short moment and made eye contact with each other again. Cindy blinked at him before the side of her mouth lifted up into a small half-grin. Her smile, always contagious to him, had Riley mirror it as he let out a breath, taking her hand and brushing his thumb along the back.

This is crazy.

"So… we havin' a kid?" Riley asked her quietly, sliding a little closer.

Cindy's maintained her grin as she looked down at their hands then back to his face. "Mm-hm." She nodded.

"…Damn…." Even hearing her say it for a third time still blew his mind. "We gonna be… parents though."

"Dumb parents." Huey muttered with a smirk.

"If you don't shut yo ass up, hater!" Riley snapped at him, even though he had a grin on his face. Jazmine and Cindy lightly giggled at the two. Riley looked at Jazmine again and thought about it even more.

"Yo, Mila's gonna have a baby cousin." He realized.

"And a baby brother or sister." Jazmine added with a smile.

"Damn. Uncle Reezy part two." Riley felt his grin widen. "And Aunt Cindy." He nudged her gently. She chuckled with the shake of her head.

"Wow. This is crazy." She voiced his identical thought softly.

"Who you tellin'? Shit." Riley shook his head as well. "Ooh, how are you even gonna tell Jamilah?" He asked Huey and Jazmine. The couple looked at each other, probably not having thought that far ahead.

"I don't know yet." Huey said, a very rare phrase coming from him.

"How are we gonna tell everybody?" Jazmine inquired aloud, probably thinking of telling her parents. That thought triggered one more from Riley.

"Shit, how we gonna tell Granddad?"

…Silence….

Well… until they started to hear keys jingling at the door.

Cindy's POV

"Oh fuck!" Riley exclaimed.

Jazmine squealed, practically hopping onto the couch next to him after being startled so bad.

"Shit." Huey muttered, a hand on his face as he sank down quickly on the couch next to Cindy.

"What do we say?!" Cindy asked, panicked.

"Do we tell him?!" Jazmine added loudly.

"Shhh!" Riley tried to shush her. "No, not yet!"

"Everyone, stop!" Huey tried, as they all continued talking over each other.

"Jazz, you tell him and I'll fuckin' choke you! OW!" Riley yelled in pain from his brother's smack. "Quit!"

"Calm down!" Huey ordered again.

"Shut up, he's coming!" Cindy hissed, smacking them both.

"Stop it!"

"Ow!"

"Shh!"

"SHHH!"

The four finally settled as they heard the door creak open and the sound of Robert Freeman entering the house, humming a little tune.

"Boy! Cutie-Pie! I'm back!" They heard him say from the hallway. "Anybody… here?" He ended his question as he stepped into the living room, his eyes falling on everyone… all awkwardly staring back at him.

"Hi, Granddad."

"Sup, G?"

"Hey, Granddad."

"Good afternoon."

"…Hello…?" Granddad stared at them, his eyes already suspicious. Cindy could tell that he knew something was off. For one thing, they were all for some reason side-by-side, cramped on the same couch even though there was another sofa. For another, Huey was sitting squished right beside Cindy and wasn't even squirming or making a snide comment. And finally… they probably all looked sketchy and nervous as hell.

"Sooo…. What's going on?" Granddad asked, eyes scanning them each.

"Nothing." They responded simultaneously.

Smooth.

"…Uh-huh…." He answered, shifting his jaw. Cindy watched the man's eyes as they slowly moved and steadied to the far right… to the person sitting right next to Riley.

Jazmine. The weakest link.

"What's going on, Cutie-Pie?" Granddad asked her, his voice oozing sugar.

Don't look him in the eye, Jazz! Cindy silently willed, turning her head more to watch her friend.

"Uhh… nothing really." She responded to his question, looking down as she examined her nails.

Good girl.

"Really?" Granddad asked, not sounding too convinced as he cocked an eyebrow and took a casual step closer. "You sure bout that?"

Keep your head down.

"Mm-hm!" Jazmine nodded once, still not making eye contact.

Just whatever you do, don't-

"Jazmine…." Granddad had an underlying tone as he was now directly in front of her from behind the coffee table. "Look at me."

No Jazz, don't do it! Don't look!

But it was too late. Cindy watched as Jazmine slowly raised her head, meeting Granddad's "sad" expression.

"You're not gonna lie to Granddaddy now, are you Lil Baby?"

Cindy probably saw her crack just as soon as Granddad did. It was inevitable when she immediately blurted out:

"I'm pregnant… again."

Cindy heard Huey make a barely audible groan from beside her. She shook her head as she looked down.

"Cindy is too."

That caused her to snap her head up. "Jazmine!"

"What?! You know I can't lie to him!" She cried out. Cindy face-palmed herself lightly as Riley ran a hand down his own. Then she slowly glanced back up to Granddad.

His face was practically unreadable as he continued to stare back at Jazmine with a blank expression. He blinked at her before shifting his eyes over to Riley. Then to Huey.

"Boys…." His voice was eerie calm. "Kitchen… now." He said before turning to walk out of the room, that being the signal to follow him. Cindy watched the brothers make hesitant eye contact before they both rose from the couch.

"Shit." Riley muttered under his breath as he followed Huey into the hallway.

Cindy frowned after them before turning to glare at Jazmine.

"Sorry?" She said sheepishly.

"Ugh. Jazmiiiine." Cindy groaned, rolling her eyes. Jazmine slid closer to her on the couch.

"I don't think Granddad will be too harsh on them." She tried timidly. "Maybe he just wants to have a man-to-man conversation with them both. It'll probably be nothing too-"

"Granddad, I'm 23 years old," She stopped talking when they both faintly heard Huey's voice from the kitchen. "I live on my own with my wife and I already have a child of my own. You can't just beat me-ugh! Ow! OW!"

Jazmine and Cindy's jaws dropped as they heard the unmistakable sound of slaps taking place. Cindy turned her head back to Jazmine and gave her a dead expression.

"Ummm… or not?"

Riley's POV

This is a shame. A damn shame. Riley thought to himself, shaking his head as he watched his brother get beat, probably the first time in his life he was ever able to witness it. Riley couldn't even enjoy it. He couldn't whip out his phone and record it. He couldn't laugh. He couldn't say shit! He already knew his ass-whoopin' was gonna be 10 times worse.

After Riley watched his grandfather get through torturing Huey, the man then turned and narrowed his eyes right at him, signifying he was next. Riley sighed.

It just wasn't fair.

"OW!"

"Nigga, what…did I… say… 'fore y'all… left… this… house?!" Granddad demanded between his strikes. "You musta lost… yo… damn… mind!"

Not fair at all.

10 Minutes Later

Riley had his eyes on the ground as he made his way back down the hallway and into the living room. Huey had gotten there first, leaving the kitchen directly after his whoopin'. He looked just the same as Riley: tired, scruffy, and just messed up from their recent ass-kicking. Huey may be on a Bushido level, but Riley knew no matter how much karate, samurai, and kumite shit (hoo-YAH!), Huey would never even think to raise a hand to Granddad. He ain't got nothin' on the belt.

"…Dat ain't hurt." Riley mumbled as he took his seat again next to Cindy. She nodded slowly before running a hand over his now kinky-looking rows.

Everyone turned to the entrance to see Granddad making his way into the living room again, now straightening his sweater casually.

"Sorry if you girls had to hear that," He said nonchalantly. "I just had to have a conversation with these boys about irresponsibility."

"Well… they weren't the only ones who were irresponsible, Granddad." Cindy spoke up quietly, her face turning pink the longer he looked at her.

"She's right. We're both at fault." Jazmine added.

"Oh, believe me, I know that. No one's in the clear." Granddad responded, giving them both a look. "What I don't understand is why. You both are two very beautiful, very smart, and very sensible young ladies. These two, not so much." He rolled his eyes as he waved his hand dismissively at the boys. "And for some reason, I have a feeling that this wasn't planned for either of you. Correct?" He asked them.

"No, sir." Jazmine responded softly as Cindy shook her head.

"Why then?" Granddad repeated. Then his eyes shifted to his grandsons. "Huey, you and your wife were just starting to get things situated. You already have a beautiful baby, recently got that new position, and were starting to grow more to be a solid and functioning family. Honestly, if you would have waited just a little longer until everything was moving smoothly and you planned things all the way out, I wouldn't give a damn. Hell, I'd love more grandkids, don't get me wrong. My only concern is that because this is unplanned, it's going to set you back. You're back to making adjustments, back to complications, and back to a bit of struggling." Huey and Jazmine nodded, understanding where he was coming from. Then Granddad turned to Riley.

"And don't even get me started with you, Riley." He slightly glowered at him. "You're the one that watched your brother fall into this from the very beginning. You're the one that bragged that he messed up first and you didn't. Nigga, you're doin' the exact same thing but worse!" Granddad exclaimed, clearly frustrated with him the most. But Riley knew he had a reason to be. "Boy, you still live in this house. You and Cindy just got into an 'official' relationship not even that long ago. Times is hard, Riley. We're struggling now with just the three of us."

"I know." Riley nodded solemnly, now also tracing patterns onto the back of Cindy's hand that had found its way into his.

Granddad sighed. "Pregnancy… and parenthood is a struggle. Y'all know that." He said, glancing over to Huey and Jazmine who nodded. "And you two will find out real soon. It's not easy… in the least. But… you all know that I'm gonna be here to try and help you all as long as I possibly can and anyway that I can. But I'm gonna need y'all to start using a little more of that common sense I know y'all got deep down." He said with a small smirk.

Riley chuckled. "It won't happen again, G. Well… not unplanned anyway." He grinned over at Cindy who's cheeks pinkened again.

"And it bet' not, boy! Shoot. We can't keep doin' this. I'm just an old man and y'all are gonna drive me crazy. Probably gonna die tomorrow from all this stress." He massaged his temples.

"Never!" Jazmine giggled, shaking her head.

"What she said for real, though." Riley snickered. "You gonna outlive us all, Granddad. You already been here forever."

"Boy…." Granddad warned, making the girls giggle some more.

"You gonna be the last man on Earth, though. Still tryna find a bitch to bag talkin' bout how you got game. NOT!"

"You must want another beating!"

Later That Night

After the conversation, Huey and Jazmine had headed back home. Sarah and Tom had Jamilah for the night, so they weren't planning on telling her (or them) yet. After they'd gone, Riley, Cindy, and Granddad had a quiet dinner, not really discussing too much of anything. Later, Granddad had retired to his room for the night, Cindy had said she wanted to write out her gym routine for work, and Riley had gone to the basement to work on some artwork, something he hadn't done in a while. But he really needed to clear his mind and be by himself to think. Even though hours had gone by since he'd found out, he still couldn't wrap his mind around it. It was almost unreal to him. His mind continued to wander the entire time he was making a random, freestyle sketch. He didn't even notice until he was partially done that he was sketching the face of a child.

Riley stared at it for a moment, his thoughts playing constant in his head. He then lifted his pencil and started to alter the eyes a bit, giving them a more defined shape. Rounder, the lashes longer… like Cindy's. Then he worked on adjusting the nose… making it slope in a way that resembled his own. Finally, he finished up the detailing with the mouth, leaving it as he had first had it. The crooked little grin on his paper reminded him of a combination of the way he and Cindy both tended to smirk, almost always to the left.

Riley gazed at his completed work for what seemed like a while. Then, he finally set it down and headed up the stairs. He didn't find Cindy in the kitchen or the living room. So he decided to check their bedroom. The door was pulled closed as he got there, causing him to raise an eyebrow as he stepped forward, hand on the doorknob.

"Cin?" He asked, slowly pushing it open.

He found her lying on her side of the bed on her stomach, her arms crossed as she rested her head on them. Her notebook with all her routines was on the bed, but closed beside her, clearly not being worked on.

"Oh, hey." She said quietly, quickly glancing over to him before redirecting her gaze. For the short moment that she looked at him, Riley could tell her eyes were a little red.

"Baby, whatchu doin'?" He asked her gently, beginning to walk around to her side.

She shrugged. "Nothin'."

"Something's goin' on up there, girl." He replied as he reached her, brushing his hand on her forehead and over the top of her head. "Sit up and talk to me."

Cindy sighed deeply before rising to her hands and knees and reaching for Riley's outstretched hands. He pulled her from the bed and probably surprised her by holding her close, resting his chin on top of her head.

"Talk to me, girl."

He felt her body tense slightly… then he felt her arms wrap tightly around his waist… then he felt her bury her face into his chest before she made a stifled noise.

"I just don't want you to hate me."

Riley's brow furrowed as he tried to pull back gently, but felt her resist as she buried her face more into him, probably not wanting him to see her face.

"Girl, time the hell out. Look at me." He said, firmly pulling her shoulders back so he could look down at her. Her eyes were filled with tears. "Now I musta heard wrong because I coulda swore you said you don't want me to hate you."

Her only response was the falling of a tear as she involuntarily blinked her eyes.

"Baby… why would you even think something like that?" He asked her softly, wiping her tear away.

"Because Riley," her voice was thick, ready to break at any moment. "This is all my fault. I'm the one that was so sure nothing was going to happen. I'm the one who got pregnant. I'm the one that's going to mess up everything you have going for you!" She just got out before the tears came rolling down.

"Shh, c'mere," Riley pulled her back into him, holding her tight and stroking her hair. "Stop, stop, stop…. You know none of that's true. You know that."

"Yes it is." She whimpered into him.

After a few moments, Riley gently pulled her back again and looked down at her. He shook his head as he lifted his hands to wipe the tears from her cheeks.

"No, it's not. And you know that." He told her firmly, looking right in her eyes. "The last time I checked, it takes two to make a baby, Cindy. I don't think you got this way on your own." He said with the lightest of smirks, making her give him a look. "And two, what the hell are you talking about messing up everything I have going for me?" He asked, genuinely confused.

Cindy sighed. "Riley, a baby is not easy. Even I know this. It's expensive. And timely. And… crazy! We already have bills to worry about. You're starting your last year of school in only a month. We've both got jobs and have to keep them. You're so-" Cindy was cut off as Riley placed a kiss on her mouth, silencing her. When he finally pulled back for air, he rested his forehead against hers.

"Baby, the only thing I have going for me is you." He spoke quietly and lowly. "I love you. I'm gonna love you without a baby and I'm gonna love you with a baby. That ain't ever gonna change. Yeah, parenting ain't easy. I've seen my brother do it. It's hella work. But I ain't scared." He shook his head against hers. "I'mma do whateva I have to do to provide for you and my family. I love you." He said before he kissed her again.

Cindy sighed gently into it before he pulled back and cradled her face in his hands. "Really?" She asked softly. Riley nodded, pecking her lips gently.

"Cindy, you're the only woman I would want to carry my child." He told her honestly. "The only woman I'd want to settle down with… to start a family with… that's you." She smiled at him, almost sadly as another tear fell from her eye.

"What's all these tears for, babygirl?" He asked, brushing it away. She shrugged slightly before shaking her head. Then she made eye contact with him again.

"I'm scared, Riley." She whispered.

"Of what, bay?" He didn't even realize he was whispering too.

She shook her head again. "All of it. Having enough for it… the entire process of going through everything… being a good… mother." She seemed thrown by that word.

"…You is gonna be a mother… a great one." He stressed. "And I'm gonna be… be a…."

"Father?" Cindy supplied, glancing up to him.

"…Yeah… a father…." Damn, that was a hard pill to swallow.

"A great one." Cindy added with a small smile. Riley grinned down at her and kissed her forehead.

"Baby, we're starting a family together though." He smiled, really thinking about it. "We're having a baby. You gon' be a mommy. And… I'm gonna be a daddy." He nodded, finally able to get it out. "Yeah, maybe it would've been better to wait or 'smarter' to take better precautions and shit… but I don't regret it." He shrugged. "Things happen the way they meant to happen. Clearly, having a baby witchu now is how it's suppose to go. Just like having Jamilah at the time they did was how it was suppose to go for Huey and Jazz. And I never ever ever want to think about what it'd be like if she wasn't here in my life." Riley told her seriously, sliding his hands down until they were at her waist.

"Cindy, I want this baby with you."

She blinked up at him in surprise, a genuine smile forming after a moment. "Really, Riley?"

He nodded. "And don't you dare think otherwise…. I love you. And I'm gonna love our kid together. If it's a part of you… a part of us… then I love it already." He smiled gently, brushing his thumbs on the sides of her lower belly.

Cindy made a light sniffle noise before she pulled herself closer to Riley and hugged him tightly.

"I love you too."

When she pulled back, she kissed him softly on the lips. That wasn't enough for Riley as he deepened it as she was ready to pull back, drawing her closer to his body. Then he eased her down gently on the bed and shoved her notebook out of the way. He wouldn't exactly call what they were about to do a "routine" (that sounded way too boring and unexciting), but uhhh… yeah… she was about to get her own workout.

…It wasn't like she could get any more pregnant, soo….

Amazing PS: Heeyyy! Sooo, if any of y'all know my girl, LovinHueyFreeman, you should probably know that she has the funniest-ass story I've ever just begun to read called Facebookin' (if you haven't read it, go NOW. like RIGHT now though). After you read that, go to her profile and see that she made mock profiles of Huey, Riley, Jazmine and everyone else's characters (I laughed for like 5mins straight)! THEN you should probably know that this girl recently created a real-life Facebook profile to match the one she made up in her story! The first one she made is for Riley (go on her page to see the name, I don't wanna spoil it XD) and you already know that I added him as a friend ;) GO DO IT! We need to make Reezy famous, knaa'mean? :D
