A young cop and his family move back to his old neighborhood and find new struggles along with new hopes and dreams.
That brief intro doesn’t say enough about this new show on ABC Family. I had seen enough commercials for the premier episode that I was able to watch it from beginning to end. Four episodes later and I am truly enjoying this new show. It’s a typical middle class black family living in the hood trying to make a difference. The mom is a nurse, the father is a cop and they bought this wonderful (but beat up) house that’s in the same hood he patrols as part of a neighborhood rejuvenation program. The neighbors, who were naturally leery of police anyway, didn’t exactly welcome them with open arms. Their children are dealing with new schools, new friends, new rules, new experiences completely.
The show comes on Mondays at 7pm CST on ABC Family. Give it a try. If you’re already watching it or have seen an episode, let me know what you think.
On April 15th Tia received confirmation from her doctor that she was indeed 5 weeks pregnant and she couldn’t have been happier. With the successful expansion of her business, she was in a position to begin traveling less and disseminating more of those duties to her staff. She rushed home from the doctor’s office and knew that the first person she wanted to call was her sister. But that call had to wait. David needed to know that he was going to be a father before she got completely out of control. With it being a Friday, the two of them had a standing date at an eclectic wine bar near David’s house. Tia dressed in a special outfit and anticipated David’s reaction to her big news. What she didn’t expect was to be joined for dinner that night by David’s classmate and his wife who had just been appointed a federal judge. The night’s celebration took a different turn and her news had to wait.
Funny, Tia never expected it to be so hard. After all, they were a couple. A couple that was having sex on a regular basis. It should be easy for her to tell David about the baby.
“Sweetness what’s wrong? You’ve been acting funny all evening.” David was holding Tia as they sat on the couch in front of the fireplace.
“I have something to tell you.” Tia was extremely nervous and fidgeting as heart pounded so hard she could hear it in her ears.
“You’re breaking up with me.” David jumped up from the couch tossing Tia’s head off his lap in the process. “I knew you would act this way. That’s why I wanted to be the one to tell you. Diane just couldn’t wait could she? Baby trust me, it’s not how she made it sound. You really do mean more to me. Let me just tell you my side.” more…
