Blue

"Hey, u gud baby?" I heard Deuce walk to the door.

I sat on Mema's bed, just looking around at her things. Looking at pictures of her and my granddad, hanging all over the walls.

He came and sat next to me on the bed.

"I'm fine." I looked at him, and gave him a smile.

"U can't lie to me." He rubbed my belly.

"I know. I know. But, I am fine." I smiled again.

"U kno u ain't gotta be strong all the time Blue."

"I know babe. I just remember the talk we had before .., ya kno? That's what's making me strong. And you. Being here for me."

"Thank you."

"U kno I'd do anythin' fa u." He kissed my forehead, then kissed my belly.

"I know."

"Ayoooo Beige." Boon busted into the room.

"Shut up." Deuce smacked him upside the head.

"Damn. U said it first." Boon rolled his eyes.

I laughed at them.

"U got some old people downstairs. They bringin' food and shit."

"We bout to grubbbbbb." Boon rubbed his stomach.

"Yo stupid ass. We grievin' nigga." Deuce said to him.

"Yo dumb ass. I'm tryna lighten the mood."

"Thank you Boon." I smiled at him.

"That's just how he is." I remembered MeMa's talk.

"Well come on cuz dey lookin' for u, and dey bein' rude and won't give me da food." He helped me up from the bed.

I followed behind him, with Deuce on my tail.

"Oh. Blue." She reached for a hug.

"Hey, First Lady." I smiled, and welcomed her hug.

"You doing alright? You not stressing yourself, are you? You taking it easy?"

"Yes ma'am ..."

"Damn, how many questions she gone ask. Just pass me da chicken." I heard Boon whisper to Deuce behind me.

She stood there still waiting for my answer, like she didn't hear Boon's comment.

"Would u answer her." Boon nudged me.

"I'm good. And yes, I'm fine."

"Well...You should. You know that your grandmother loved you."

"Man, cmon Blue. Move to sumbody else, caus she bein' unnecessary hoggin' da chicken." Boon grabbed my arm, and I wobbled on to the next person.

I looked back to see her talking to Deuce, and his face expression of annoyance. I smiled at him.

"Hey dear. I brought you some pie. You doing alright?" Our old little neighbor asked me.

"Yea she fine. Can I have sum?" Boon reached for the pie.

"Of course dear." She passed it to him.

"Yoooo Zel. Betty Crocker gave us a sweet potato pie!" He yelled to him.
