Chapter XXIV

"But don't you think that's a bit early, enrolling them in school means more suspicion from the media."

"You can't keep them from going to school forever, y'know? You still have two weeks to tell them and let them get mentally prepared for it.. also the media's gonna find out about them one way or another it's inevitable." Angie says looking at the both now parents.

"I think it's better they meet aunty through you than for family to find out through the media. We're having a big barbecue this Saturday. I know y'all are aware. So they can get to meet the family then."

"I mean you are right." Nicki says looking towards Beyoncé.

"Yeah.. I guess so." She mumbles still thinking about it.

"But we'll be on our way now." She finally says after awhile getting up with Nicki following behind.

They walk out into the afternoon heat lucky for them no paparazzi were around.. Just a fan who'd kindly asked for a picture.

So they took one quick picture and left.

Saturday.
Beyoncé's family house.

The Maraj- Knowles had just arrived, it took them quite awhile to convince the kids to come but after a little persuasion they finally agreed.

Nicki carried Papa Bear on her arm, Beyoncé doing the same for Rumi, the girl crying all throughout the car ride that she wanted to be held.

Blue stood by their side, trying to keep up a brave face when in all reality she felt like her heart was about to jump out her chest.

She suddenly felt a hand slowly entwining with hers, looking up she'd seen Beyoncé already looking at her with a small smile obviously being able to sense her nervousness.

Sir walked in front of them seemingly being the only one excited to meet the rest of the family.

They all walked towards the front porch but the door was already swung open before they could even do so..

Celestine who was Beyoncé's mom had been the one to open the door greeting all of them with a smile but an obviously questioning look plastered across her face.

"We'll talk." Beyoncé said as they all walk into the house, the sounds of laughter, arguments and so on surrounding the atmosphere of the house- that's what happens when you have almost all your family living in the same state.

The kids gripped tightly to them, Beyoncé could feel Rumi's breath deepening as she buried her face into the crook of her neck.

'Probably the noises' she thought walking them away from there before she went into a full on panic attack, Blue following them.

While Nicki, Sir and Papa separated walking into the kitchen to greet more family.

"You okay?" Beyoncé asks walking them into an empty room.

Rumi shook her head, "Too l-loud." she whimpered putting her face in the crook of her neck again.

"She doesn't really like loud noises." Blue said quietly.

"I know that but are you, okay?" She said emphasizing on the 'you'.

"Yeah, just don't wanna go down." She says again looking away from her.

"I mean but we have to greet more family but as soon as we're done, I promise y'all can come back in here and watch some TV."

"Okay.. but Rumi can't go down, it's too loud." Blue says looking towards her sister.

"Uhh... She can wear these." Beyoncé says after awhile of thinking bringing out her headphones from her handbag. It was playing white noise.

She then wore it on the girl.

The three of them walked back down the stairs into the living room that was full of aunt's and uncles.

Beyoncé walked into the kitchen but Nicki and the boys were no where to be seen making her walk back out deciding to go to the backyard to look for them.

There she saw them, Nicki and Papa were talking to Nicki's mom while Sir looked to be playing with one of her cousins kids.

"Oh hey Beyoncé." The older woman said as she saw her approaching.

"Hi mama Carol." She smiles back.

"And who are these little angels?" She asked politely looking at the two girls with Beyoncé, Onika had already explained the situation to her- at least some of it. So she wasn't that out of loop.

Beyoncé nudged Blue a little to answer, "B-blue." She says nervously before looking away.

"And this is Rumi." She says answering for the girl who seemed to be in her own little world.

"Yoncé!" A loud voice called from the pool making her look over to see Solange, Kelly and Michelle.

"You won't mind if I leave the kids with you right?" She asks Nicki who only nodded.

"Thanks babe." She said walking away already thinking of how she was gonna have to explain the whole parent situation to her family.
