     I woke up this morning and saw Kai laying next to me still sleep. I find it crazy how this little mini human made everything in my life change. When that woman came to my door and handed me kairi while telling me I needed to take care of her I looked at her crazy and was going to hand her back until I looked at kai's face. When I saw her face everything changed. I didn't need a dna test. She was mine and I was gonna take care of her. I grabbed the stuff that was in the woman's hand before closing the door.

Now looking back the only thing I regret is not asking her if she knew my daughters mother. She didn't tell me anything but what her mother said which was she didn't want a baby and it would only make her life worse. She said that my daughter was nothing and was never going to be nothing. It made me sick. I told myself that if she ever tried to come back in Kai's life I would hurt her and I would make her regret leaving her but she hasn't tried. So it's just be me and Kai and I'm fine with that.

After figuring out I had a child I started looking for houses out in New York to be closer to my moms and pops. When she was six months old I packed everything up and moved. When I got down there I hit up some of my old homies and we got in the booth now ima successful rapper. I ain't forget about my niggas back in Chicago. I told them to come try it out and they took off too. Now we all living good for the most part. Enough about all that shit tho today's about babygirl.

I stare at my beautiful mean daughter a little before waking her up.

"Cheeks you gotta get up girl. We gotta celebrate." I said shaking her a little before watching her open her eyes and mug me. I chuckled a little bit before picking her up and going into the bathroom.

"How old you turning today?" I asked her putting some toothpaste on her toothbrush. She held up to fingers making me smile and nod my head.

"Yea what you wanna do today?" I questioned her brushing her teeth. She shrugged making me smack my teeth.

"Why you being dry?" I said still brushing. She rolled her eyes at me.

"Oop ok." I committed after washing off her face. I put her down while I got our outfits and stuff ready for today. We going over my mom's house cause that's where the party is. It starts at 3 tho so we just gon do whatever until then.

*after getting ready*

"Kai come on we finna go get something to eat." I said making her run to me and hold her hands up.
