"And how are you? She smiled pinching Jace's cheek. "You're so adorable"

"Thankyou, but she's better, she's just in that recovering stage," I said. "Aww, wish she could've came," she said. "Oh, she's here" I snickered.

"Now you know, she needs to be resting somewhere, she can't be running around with those kids" she argued. "I know, but she's been bored in the house for a week. It's driving her crazy" I explained. "I understand, I just don't want her to hurt herself. no offense its just the mom and nurse in me" she laughed. "It's all good.. none taken," I said.

"Well, I'm going to get me some food," I said getting up. I walked near the buffet area looking at the selection. I couldn't wait to stuff my food. To the corner of my eye, I saw Kamaya, she glanced at me not saying anything and I'm glad it was that way. I struggled to grab my plate. I looked around to see if I could get some help. "Dreux" I called. He stopped talking walking near me. "Here," I said handing Jace to him. "Damn, just like that" he laughed taking him. "I just need to make my plate" I said. I looked around to see Morgan already eating. Well, excuse me her and her new friends were chatting and grubbing like they were at a restaurant. "No prob, Hey little man," he said talking to him. "I'm uncle Dreux," He said. I rolled my eyes "Uncle"? I asked

"Yeah, I'm America's favorite uncle if anything goes down you let me know," he said talking to him. I really liked Dreux he's like that cool homeboy/ brother you never had. "Clown" I joked placing some chicken and macaroni on my plate. "Where's your mom, I was looking for her? I asked

"Taking her sweet time like usual" he chuckled. "I understand" I laughed walking back to the table as he followed me. "Thank you" I said sitting back down. He handed me Jace back but I felt the tension between him and Mia. Mia rolled her eyes looking to the side. While Druex ignored her walking off. "Dumbass" she scoffed. I took a bite of my food not wanting to be in there business. "You okay? I asked.

"Girl, I'm fine. He's just being an asshole right now and I don't have the time" she scoffed. I knew she wasn't alright, I know the feeling of trying to act like everything is okay. "Hand me him, so you can eat," she said. I gladly handed him to her happy that I can eat for a second. She smiled playing with him. I can say that Mia was the only woman that was nice to me besides Ms. Monica. "So how is it working for Ricky? She asked.

I took a sip of my tea "Its challenging, he doesn't care for me but he likes my sister" I chuckled

I took a sip of my tea "Its challenging, he doesn't care for me but he likes my sister" I chuckled. "Mmm, he really is the backbone of the family so that makes him come off so malicious at times" she explained

"I don't get it though because Dreux is the nice one and Ricky is the mean one," I said. "Its Grant, that nigga stresses both of them out. Dreux just handles it better " she explained. "Hmm," I said looking at them interact. Ricky and his brothers were laughing and that's probably the first time I ever saw him laugh. It was kind of cute to see. "Oh that's Uncle G," he said. "Who's that? I asked. "Grant's brother... Ronnie and Tez father" she explained getting up. "Oh," I said staying down. If Grant was mean I knew he would be worse. "Hey uncle G" she smiled. "Mia, since when have you started showing your face" he hugged her.
