It's 3 months later...After my father recovered and was doing so well. He was arrested for the death of Frank Gathers. They thought my dad killed him and since I was the only one that went back in Levictus after. I know who killed him and it wasn't my dad. It was my Uncle Vernon. Uncle Vernon wasn't my dad's real brother but he could've been. He was in our lives up until I was 14 and then he went to jail. We hadn't forgotten about him but we hadn't been going to visit him or we didn't really talk about him. I saw him that night at the White Party after I went back in. He was standing over Frank Gathers body. The police came in and automatically thought my dad had committed the crime. Honestly I think that are always looking for some way to portray my father in a bad way. But I know him, he would never kill anyone in front of me or my brothers. I know about how my mom and dad used to deal drugs back in the day. I thought that they stopped and it all went away after my mom went to jail and I was born. My mom was 7 1/2 months pregnant and I was so happy. I wanted a little sister so bad but I have a feeling this is gonna be another brother. My mom hasn't gone to see my dad and he's been in prison for about 2 months. We were getting ready for a "Free Lucious Concert". My mom didn't really want to be there or in the press because she was showing a little bit and she didn't really want anyone to know. Ever since my dad went to jail, either Jamal or Hakeem takes her to her doctor appointment. They've really stepped to help her especially Hakeem.

I walked into the federal prison that was 2 1/2 hours away from my dads house. I hadn't really been sleeping or doing anything lately because I was so scared and worried about my dad. I couldn't believe that he's in jail. My dad was with me my whole life unlike my mom who went to prison. I was scared that he was going to go for a long time like her. I waiting for my name to be called and I stood up. "Eh, wow you're Lucious Lyon's daughter," the warden asked me. "The one and only," I said winking and following him.
I sat down at the table and waited for him to bring dad out. Finally he came out in an orange jumpsuit with white slippers on. We weren't allowed to touch each other but I could feel my dads urge to hug me. "Daddy," I uttered beginning to cry a little bit. "Babygirl don't cry. I didn't do it," he said chuckling lowly. "I have proof and I wanna testify," I said. "How?" He asked. "After you got shot, Jamal told me to go with Hakeem and I was freezing. I went back in Levictus to get my stuff and I saw that man that shot you lying there dead and believe it on not..Uncle Vernon killed him," I said. My dad gave me a questionable look... "Are you sure you want to testify against Vernon," my dad asked. "Your my dad, not him and I miss you," I said. He smiled and then turned very serious again. "How is Cookie," he asked. "She's doing well. She's 7 months pregnant, and we all have stepped up to take care of her and our unborn sibling," I said smiling at the fact that in 2 months I'm going to have a little brother. "Mom misses you so much," I blurt out. "She hasn't even came to see me once," he said I could hear the hurt in his tone. "She'll come soon I promise," I said. The guard said our time was up and I proceeded to walk away and I said, "love you daddy". "Love you too princess," he said and I watch as they took him away. I decided on testifying against my Uncle Vernon because I don't want my little brother to grow up without a parent because of jail. I never want him to go through that like us. That was a hard decision to make on my part but I love my family and I want them to be together. I went to go see my dad's lawyer and he told me all of my rights. Also he told me I can testify in front of a grand jury to insure my identity was safe. My mom pulled up to the jail entrance and I say Lola waving to me from the back. "Hi mama," I said kissing my mother on the cheek and then I turned to see Lola smiling in her car seat. "Hi princess," I said tickling her. "How's your father?" my mom blurted out. I knew she still cared, now all I have to do is get her to go see him. "He's doing good,  he misses us a lot.He asked about you" I said. "I'm gonna go see him," my mom said smiling. I think all she needed to know was that he was thinking and worried about her. My mom had been really sick and sad lately. Maybe going to see dad, will make her happy again. "He might be getting out soon," I blurted out checking the rear view mirror to see if Lola was sleep so I could continue. My mom was keeping her eyes on the road but she glanced over and gave me a questionable look. "Dad didn't shoot the man that shot him. He was still alive when Dad was in the ambulance. But then I went back in Levicticus to get my stuff with Hakeem and he was lying there in a pool of his blood," I continued. My mom was shocked because I think she really thought my dad murdered someone. "So you and Hakeem are going testify?" she said. I nodded my head. "Thank y'all so much. I didn't want your little brother to grow up without his father," my mom said with a smile on her face.
