Akayla " Dream " Smith .
" stop crying baby , I'm coming. "
I was running around the house trying to find his binky, that he just couldn't live without.
" where did you put it son ? "I faced him as he sat in the middle of the living room floor, snotty nosed and red faced .
" son ! " I tried to yell over his crying, wich was making me nervous and angry .
He didn't even acknowledge my presence . He just cried louder.
" Cállate ! , shut up and suck it up , all that crying, before I give you something to cry about! Now where did you put it at ! " the black mother in me came out .
He sniffled and hiccuped as he pointed in the direction of his diaper bag that I had already rummaged through twice.
I groaned as he started back crying.
Then my phone just had to ring , perfect.
" time for bed , TJ . It's almost 9 . " I picked him up and rocked him on my hip . As his tears wet my little tank top.
" Hello , " I answered aggressively as an unknown number kept sliding across the screen.
I rocked back and forth waiting for a reply.
" is he okay ? " I heard Tony say from the other end .
" No. He's sleepy as hell and he lost his Binky! He has me over here pulling my hair out ! " I snapped back .
" do you need help ? " he whispered .
" no, he'll probably go to sleep in a few minutes. " I replied in a softer tone .
" FaceTime me . " his voice became harder .
Hell nah !!!! I got snot and tears running down my shirt , no bra on , spandex and a head wrap on , not to mention a child as big as me crying on my shoulder.
" I don't think that's a good idea. " I said .
" Akayla I'm not trying to see you, I'm trying to see my son .I don't care how you look , you better answer my call , you got 5 mins. " Click.
With that he hung up.
" oh shit, " I tried rocking harder , when he settled just a little bit I laid him on the bed as I tried to find another shirt.
Sliding a shirt over my head and taking my head scarf off , I ran the brush through my hair a couple of times. .
My phone started ringing again as I was trying to clean up snot.
" what the hell that was 3 minutes tops ! " I complained as I slid the green bar over .
" show your face , lil girl ," he laughed.
I smiled.
" wait a second lil boy . " I replied.
" what are you doing, don't pause me ! " he said as I wiped TJs face .
" No me apresure ! Don't rush me ! " I called back .
" okay here ." I put the camera on my son.
" why he look like he lost his best friend ? " Tony laughed as I rested the camera on a pillow in front of him .
" he lost his binky , that is his best friend. " I called from across the room as I got down on my knees to look under the bed for it.
" he's like 2 he shouldn't be on a pacifier, my son shouldn't be sucking nothing but titties, ain't that right Lil dude ? Besides his teeth gone be fucked up " he replied as he cooed at Tj .
