I sat at the table with gio tryina decorate this gingerbread house Gigi wanted to do before she ditched us to go to bed early.

We were supposed to be doing a Christmas Eve party but almost everybody's kids not feeling good so it was canceled. Especially since my kids feel good and I don't need them getting sick

"Alright we gotta decorate the house now that we put it together" I enthusiastically said to gio but instead he had other plans

He grabbed half of the roof off of the house and tried to bite it

"Orrr you can just eat half of the roof off" I looked inside of the empty gingerbread house. The whole thing then shifted and started leaning to the side

I looked at gio "you got my gingerbread house looking like the house from Charlie and the chocolate factory"

Gio just ignored me, tossing the cookie on the table cause obviously he didn't like the little bite he got. He then wiped his tongue, grabbing the tiny piece of what he bit and held it out for me to grab it from him

"Mama" he called out to me, still waiting for me to get it

"Who told you I was gonna grab that for you?"

I held my hand out so he put it in my hand before grabbing his cup and getting down off of my lap

"Nigga yo niece is sleep. She tryina make tomorrow come faster" Dre said to whoever he was on the phone with as he walked into the kitchen

Gio stopped in front of him holding his arm up so Dre picked him up

"Emoni take yo sick ass to sleep" he laughed, replying to whatever she was saying "bye"

After he hung up the phone he looked at my gingerbread house which was still leaning with half of the roof gone. Based on his face I knew he was about to say something stupid

"Don't even start. Your son did this to my house"

"Don't blame my son cause you over there tryina build the trap"

"Whatever" I tried to stand the house up straight again "emoni sick too?"

"Her and my momma. They can have that"

"I'm just glad Gigi and gio not sick cause I can't deal with two sick kids again."

There was a knock on the door so Dre went to answer it. When he opened the door he smiled

"That boy finally ready to face the world again"

"Fuck you" I could hear keem say as he came into the house

I looked up from the gingerbread house, smiling as I saw him walk into the kitchen, coming to sit at the table

"Keem! I actually missed you a lot. And why you look so sad. You got babymomma problems already?"

"Nah. I ain Dre or Darius"

Dre sucked his teeth

"So if it's not the babymomma then it must be the girlfriend who's not your girlfriend" I assumed "when you telling her about the baby?"

"I did...yesterday "

"How did she take it?"

Keem chuckled "that girl mad as hell. She swear I knew the whole time"

"But you didn't"

"I know. I been tryina tell her that all day but she don't believe me"

"You must really like that girl if you doing all that" Dre said to keem. Keem just casually shook his head and looked at Dre
