Beyoncé’s POV

"Mommy!" I heard.

I can't even get ready.

"Mommy! Corey threw his basketball at me." Sasha said coming into my room.

"Corey!" I yelled.

He came in the room and looked at me.

"Did you throw a ball at her?" I asked.

"It only hit her in the arm." He said. "Plus she came in without knocking."

"So!" Sasha said about to throw the ball but I took it out her hands before she could.

"Sasha go watch TV." I said.

"But-"

"Sasha, go." I said.

She walked away while looking at Corey. I looked at Corey.

"Stop messing with your sisters or you can say goodbye to that MTV birthday thing." I said.

"Okay, okay." He said.

He turned to walk away and I threw the ball at his back.

"Ow!" He said.

"Not fun getting hit with stuff is it?" I said.

He grabbed the ball and left. I sat on the bed as I put on my shoes and put on some like make up.

"Ma, we leaving!" I heard.

"Stop yelling. Come here!" I yelled.

I stood in front of my mirror. 

"Ma, we leaving." I heard Corey say.

"Who's we?" I asked putting on my earring.

"Hey Auntie, hey ma." I heard.

I turned and it was Courtney and Shad and he had with him Ms. Shia.

"Y'all were gonna leave and not let me see her." I said.

"No, I was coming in here." Shad said.

"Awe, hi Ms. Shia." I said and she held her hands out to me.

"Hi." She said.

I held her. I haven't seen her in probably three months. 

"Where y'all headed." I asked.

"To the studio." Corey said quickly.

I eyed him.

"Y'all taking her too?" I asked.

"Yeah, she'll be fine." Shad said.

"How about she have a girls day with me Brook and Sasha?" I asked.

"I mean if you want to." Shad said.

"Okay, just pick her up when y'all finish." I said.

"Okay." Shad said. "Here is her bag. She has toys and juice and if she gets fussy-"

"Shad, I have three children." I said.

"Alright." He said laughing.

"Alright ma, see ya." Corey said.

"Alright." I said and they left.

"Shia, you wanna go shopping?" I asked.

She started nodding and laughing. I grabbed my bag and jacket and put Shia down. We went to Brook's room. I went in.

"Brook, get ready." I said.

"Where we going?" She asked.

"Shopping." I said.

"Okay, Shai going too?" She asked.

"Yeah, she's hanging with us today." I said as I left her room.

We went downstairs and I let Shai take her time holding unto the real. When she got to the bottom she smiled and I gave her a high five. She's just so cute. We went to the den where Sasha was. 

"Sasha get your shoes and jacket." I said.

"Where we going?" She asked.

"Shopping." I said.

"Mommy I don't wanna go." She said whining.

"Your getting those new shoes." I said.

"Okay." She said getting up.

I picked up Shai and we went to the kitchen. I sat her on the counter.

"You hungry?" I asked her.

She shook her head no.

"Okay." I said.

"Ma! We ready!" I heard.

"You ready?" I asked.

"Yes." She said nodding.

I got her off the counter and went towards the door.

Courtney's POV

"You sure about this?" I asked Corey,

"Yeah, girl chill out." Corey said.

"Auntie gonna beat your ass." I said.

"She'll be aight, she not gonna do nothing but yell." He said.

"Alright, do what you do." I said.

"I hope you sure about this." Shad said.

"I am." He said and the man started.

After he finished getting his tattoo done we went to the studio. He laid some stuff down. We did a freestyle and something other stuff. It was a regular evening at the studio.

Brooklyn's POV

This was like the best day. First we went to the mall and Sasha got her shoes and we went to some stores. Then we went to some boutiques and then lunch. Now we were getting pedicures and my mom knows how to plan a day. My mom had Shia in her lap.

"Ma, we should do this more often." Sasha said.

"Yeah, especially when you about to get all those corns." I said laughing.

"Yo, shut up." Sasha said.

Shia laughed in my moms lap.

"See Shia even know I'm telling the truth." I said.

"Ma am I gonna get corns?" Sasha asked.

"Probably not but will make sure that doesn't happen." My mom said.

"Juice" Shai said.

My mom went in her bag and pulled out her sippy cup and gave it to her.

"Tank you." Shia said.

"Your welcome." My mom said. "For the two of you I'll be in the office tomorrow so you'll be with your father most of the day."

"Sweet." Sasha said.

"That's cool." I said.

"Don't mess up my house." She said.

"Ma, everything will be fine." I said.

****************

*Next Day*

There too stupid. An 18 year-old and 12 year old playing tag. I went in my room to watch TV.

"Ow!" I heard.

Oh lord. I went downstairs and Corey was standing over a crying Sasha. My dad came out through the kitchen and picked up Sasha. We went in the kitchen and my dad was trying to check her face but she was sobbing like her foot was cut off.

"Sasha, you gotta stop crying so u can check your face." My dad said.

"But it hurts." She said while crying.

My dad sighed because she wouldn't stop crying. He picked her up and took her upstairs. I looked at Corey.

"What happened?" I asked.

"She fell." He said.

"She fell?" I said.

"Yes, it just so happens that we were playing tag." He said.

I shook my head. 

Shawn's POV

"Sasha baby please stop crying." I said.

"But it's gonna hurt." She said.

"No it's not, I promise." I said.

"Ow!" Sasha screamed.

"I haven't touched you yet." I said.

I cleaned her face and there was a cut but mostly bruising.

"So what happened?" I asked.

"I fell." She said.

"That's it?" I asked.

"Yeah." She said.

I looked at her and she jumped off the counter and out of the bathroom. I through some stuff in the trash and went downstairs. I went into the den and laid down while the TV watched me.

As I opened my eyes Bey was right there. I started smiling and she bent down and kissed me.

"How you feel?" I asked as I leaned up and she sat down.

"I'm okay." She said as I laid my head on her lap. "Better than this morning."

"You schedule an appointment?" I asked.

"Yes, it's next week." She said.

"Just know what ever happens I'll be happy." I said.

"Thank you baby." She said leaning in for a kissed.

I kissed her back.

"Hi mommy." I heard.

"Hey." She said braking the kiss but still looking at me.

She turned to look.

"Oh my god, Sasha what happened to your face." She said pushing me off her lap.

I ended up on the floor. I saw Bey checking her face. She looked back at me.

"Why are you on the floor?" She asked.

"You just pushed me on the floor." I said getting up.

"What happened?" She asked Sasha.

"I fell." She said.

"You fell?" Bey said.

Sasha nodded.

"Who was with her?" She asked me.

"Corey." I said.

"Sasha, go get Corey for me." Bey said and Sasha left.

"She fell, I don't believe that." Bey said sitting back on the couch.

"I know, I didn't either but I knew someone would tell on theirselves eventually." I said.

Corey came in.

"Hey ma." Corey said.

"Take a seat." She said.

"What did I do?" She asked sitting down.

"I don't know yet." Bey said. "And take those damn gloves off. What happened to Sasha?"

"She fell-"

"I know that's not all that happened." She said. "And don't lie."

He sighed.

"Me and Sasha were playing tag and she was chasing me down the steps and I guess she missed one and rolled down and hit the side of the wall." He said.

"She rolled down and hit the side of the wall?" Bey said. "Why the hell were y'all playing inside?"

"It was cold outside." He said.

"We have a game room with hundreds of dollars worth of stuff and you chose to play tag." I said.

Corey didn't say anything.

"Will you take off the gloves, you making me hot." Bey said.

I saw he look hesitant and Bey noticed to.

"What's on your hand?" Bey asked.

"Nothing." He said.

"Shawn, take off the gloves." Bey said sternly.

Corey took off the gloves palms up. Bey got up and grabbed his hands.

"What the hell is this?" She asked.

I stood up because I didn't know what she was talking about. I got closer and dammit.

"Why did you get a tattoo? And two at that?" Bey asked.

"Because I wanted to get it done." He said.

"I don't give a damn what you wanted." Bey said.

"But I'm 18-"

"I know how old you are!" Bey yelled.

"Babe, calm down." I said looking at her.

I didn't want her to get too worked up.

She sighed in frustration.

"You know what? Do what you want." Bey said.

"Ma." Corey said touching her arm.

"Don't touch me right now Shawn." She said grabbing her bag and going upstairs.

Corey sighed and looked at me. What am I supposed to do.

"Let her cool down a little. When she wants to talk, she'll come to you okay." I said.

He nodded.

"You knew she was gonna be upset about this didn't you." I said.

"Yeah." He said.

"So why did you do it?" I asked.

"Because I wanted it." He said.

"Well have fun showing your grandmother's" I said. "You can go now." 

He went upstairs and I thought I'd stay down here until Bey cooled off.

Did Bey do the most?
