Him

Friends

I walked in the house and all the kids rushed to me. "Mommy" my babies yelled. "TT" Miracle's girls yelled. I hugged them all and put my purse down. "Thanks again Miracle" I said as the kids went upstairs. "No problem your kids are hilarious" she said plopping down on the couch. "Did they give you any problems" I asked plopping down next to her. "Nah not really. Just at nap time" she said. "Oh Tyson and Tyler hate taking naps" I said. "I know that now thanks mom" she said. "But Heaven and Trey don't play about their naps" I said laying across her lap. "I know I said nap time and they were the first ones sleep" she said. I turned the tv on and we watched tv. "What's for dinner"I asked. "Spaghetti" she said. "Oh great" I said closing my eyes as Miracle played in my hair. The doorbell rang making all the kids run in. I got up and opened the door to see Quan. "Hey" I said letting him in. "Hey everyone" he said coming in. Miracle's phone rang so she answered it. "Hey Quan" the girls said. "Hello ladies" he said. "What's up Q Dog" Tyson and Tyler said. "What up T Man and Tiger" he said messing up their hair. The kids ran back upstairs except for Trey. "What brings you by Quan" I asked plopping on the couch. "I was in the neighborhood and bored at home" he said. Trey came and sat in my lap.

"Hey Tay we have to go to my mom's. I'll be back in the morning. Save us some spaghetti" Miracle said. "Ight girl. Tell your momma I said hello" I said. "Penelope and Paisley lets go" she yelled. Two minutes later the girls came downstairs and they left. "And then there was six" Quan said. "Mommy can we watch a movie" Heaven asked coming downstairs. "Y'all need to eat tell the boys to come on" I said. "I guess I need to fix their food" I said. "I got it you stay here" Quan said. "No I got it. You don't have to" I said. "He's sleep let me fix their food.  You rest too" he said getting up and walking in the kitchen. I looked at Trey to see him knocked out on me. I picked him up and put him in the playpen I keep downstairs. I went in the kitchen to see Quan already fixed their bowls. I grabbed two plates and fixed Quan and I a plate. "I told you to rest" he said. "I can't" I said putting the plates on the table. I grabbed everyone a fork as the kids came down the stairs. "Did y'all wash your hands" I asked. "Yea" Tyson said. "Yes" Heaven said. "Yes ma'am" Tyler said. "Thank you Tyler high five" I said holding out my hand and he smacked it. I set them in their chairs and we ate.

"So how was your day guys" I asked. "It was coo" Tyson said. "I got to play with my baby doll" Heaven said. "That's good baby. What about you Tyler" I asked. "I drew a picture" he said. "Of what" I asked. "The sky" he said. Quan's phone started ringing. "Excuse me" he said and got up from the table. "Hello" he said. "Who called him momma" Tyson asked. "I don't know eat your food" I said. "What? How" Quan asked sounding a little uneasy. "No. No. No" he said on the verge of tears. "I'm on my way. Have his stuff packed and ready to go" Quan said. "I'm done mommy" Trey said. "Me too" Tyson and Tyler said. "Me three" Heaven said. I grabbed their plate and put them on the ground. They ran upstairs and Quan walked in. "I have to go" he said. "You okay" I asked. He looked at me for a bit then nodded. "I have to go pick up my son" he said with watery eyes. "Why don't you calm down first" I said handing him a tissue. He sat down and wiped his tears. "I got to go man" he said standing up. "Calm down and don't do anything crazy" I yelled as he rushed out of the door.
