Jay's POV
As soon as we got to my house. I showed ky where his room was and he put all of his things up then said he was going to sleep. So bey and I left him alone. We went to our room and as soon as beys head hit the pillow she went to sleep. I knew she was tired after all of that, she tried to fight her sleep but she couldn't.
I was so mad about the situation that just went down at the mall but I couldn't show it, Bey did all the cussing out while I comforted Kyre. I was beyond pissed.
This situation just made me want to protect him, bey, and our unborn child even more. And I knew bey was serious about taking her ass to court cause she did not play when it came to Kyre. And she's let it be known, I'm surprised she didn't lay hands on that woman.
If Kyre wasn't so shaken up I would've handled it before bey hopped in her face. That lady had to have said something to him that bring him to tears and I was going to find out what.
I kissed her forehead and slipped out of the bed to make something to eat for them when they woke up. I pulled some stuff for spaghetti and garlic bread then started cooking it. When I was half way done Kyre came downstairs and sat at a stool at the kitchen table rubbing his eyes then watched me cook.
"You good man?" I asked him and he shrugged his shoulders. Bey told me about him being emotional, and from the childhood he encountered I wouldn't expect anything else.
"I just wish that never happened." He said shaking his head and sighing
"What did she say to you?" I immediately asked because I know just being yelled at doesn't effect people that much. It had to be what she said.
He shook his head again and scratched the back of his neck like he didn't want to tell me.
"Your safe here, bey and I care tremendously about you. And I know I've only known you for a short amount of time but that doesn't matter. Your apart of my life now and I'm apart of yours. I want to make sure your good at all times and at all costs. So you can trust me man, I'm here for you." I told him turning everything down and sitting next to him and patting his back. He looked over at me and sighed.
"After she accused me of stealing she just started calling me so many different names and trying to depict me as every other black 'nigger'," he said and I sighed and told him to keep going.
"She called me stupid, said I'd never amount to anything, I think she was just trying to make me feel bad about myself when she said I was just like every other black dumb nigger though. And she succeeded. She even said that I was so poor that I had to steal. Called me every name in the book besides my government." He said and his eyes glossed up
"But I think what hit me the hardest is when she said my parents didn't love me, cause it's true. My dad left when I was born and my mom just doesn't care about me anymore. So I guess she was right." He said shrugging and I looked up to see bey standing at the edge of the stairs looking stuck, like she didn't know what to say. She walked over and sat on the opposite side of him and kissed his forehead then rubbed his back.
"Listen, I'm going to tell you now. Being a young black man in America makes you very vulnerable and it may come off as dangerous to a lot of people. People will to tear you down, make you think lowly of yourself, and make you think that you aren't great. But you can't let them do that man. You gotta be strong, they want to get a reaction out of you but you can't let me see you out of character. It's okay to show emotion in-front of the people who care about you and love you, but the people who want to see you down.. they get pleasure off that."
"You have to be proud of the skin that your in, even when people try to tear you down, you have to be confident enough to block them out and use that as fuel. To go harder and be a better version of yourself. That's why you have to be educated, proud, and aware. So racist white people like that can't get to you. Because there is probably going to be a couple more times where that happens and bey and I might not be there to save you. But as of now, you can. Count on us for what ever." I said and bey agreed and he looked up at me in my eyes and nodded saying that he understood what I was telling him.
"Thank you." He said genuinely and I smiled and nodded
"Anytime ky." I said and bey hugged him and he just laid his head on her chest. I could tell she loved babying him but he needed that love so I wouldn't interfere but I was gonna toughen him up.
I went back to cooking almost being done with everything. Then I looked back at Kyre. And saw bey kissing his forehead and holding him.
"Hey man," I said and he looked up at me. "As soon as bey signs those papers, you'll be our son, you'll have 2 parents that love you and support you in what ever you want to do." And he smiled and looked and bey they back at me and said he really appreciated us.
When I was done I made everyone's plates then sat them in front of them and made my own then sat across from the both of them. We talked and ate, and we talked about enrolling Kyre in a school near the houses that we would be looking at.
He was excited to get out of that school that he was currently in because they would make fun of him because of his hair not always being freshly shaped up or cut. But he talked about how he didn't really have time or money ever since his mother fell off.
"What about the monthly allowance I would give you?" Bey asked and he shook his head
"I'd use it for food, well everything that my mom didn't steal for drugs." He said and bey shook her head
"Well we can both get a line up tomorrow, and we can just have a us day. Bey I'll give you some money to go out with kelly or what ever you want to do." Jay said and I nodded not having a problem with that at all.
I could tell Kyre already looked up to jay and he was going to be his mini me. But he'd always be a mommas boy, not meaning his real mother but me. Our bond was so strong I'd die for that boy.
I really hoped this baby was a girl so she could be my mini me. And we could go on girls dates. But until then, I'd have to hand with my babies Kia and Ava, plus kelly. I'd even see if Alysa wanted to come out and hang with us. Cause she was really cool.
Anyways after we were done eating I gave The woman that gave me a card earlier a call. I scheduled a meeting with her for this coming Monday. Then I gave Lala a call and she helped me calm down. Cause lord knows I was still pissed. And I was most definitely signing those papers tomorrow, and I was going to ask jay if he wanted me to include him in legal guardianship of Kyre.
I was sure he would want to but I had to make sure.
