TURNED OUT 2

NINETEEN(19)

FANCY Nancy's voice could be heard throughout the house. Kirsten was busying twirling around and trying to sing with Nancy. She was dressed in her orange pajamas with her hair all over her head.

Kai sat in his dad's arms looking around. He had his pacifier in his mouth as he gripped his chubby, little hands on Kain's forearm. He kept looking up at his daddy and staring at him.

"You just keep staring at me." Kain told his son as he kissed him on his forehead. He examined Kai and couldn't help but to think about Moonie. He looked just like her-From his brown skin to his chubby, round face and big, brown eyes.

Kai dropped his pacifier from his mouth just so he could give his dad a gummy smile. Kain couldn't help but to smile back. His kids were special to him and he definitely wasn't ashamed to play and talk to them. He was proud of his beautiful creations.

"Man, you look just like Moonie." He said out loud while holding his son up close in his face. Kai put his attention on Kain's beard and tried pulling the hairs from his face.

"Lord have mercy." Kain could hear his mom's voice as she made her way inside the living room. She had on her robe with some slippers. She still had her bonnet over her head. "Juicy, look at this living room."

Kirsten looked over at her grandma and gave her a goofy grin. Patrice couldn't help but to shake her head. Juicy had her dad's smile. She was the female replicate of him.

Toys were sprawled all over the living room floor. Kain had the kids for a couple of days and he was basically letting Kirsten run loose. She could do whatever she wanted. He just didn't want to hear her crying.

"Give me my grandson." Patrice walked over and grabbed Kai right out of Kain's hands. Patrice held him in her arms and cooed to him.

"My chubby grandson-you handsome just like your da-da." She added while kissing him on the cheek.

Kai gave her a small smile as he just laid in her arms. He was dressed in a grey onesie with some socks. Patrice ran her hand over his headful of black, curly hair.

Kirsten walked towards her daddy with her pink tiara. He frowned when she stood on her tippy toes, trying to put it on his head.

"What you tryna do with that?" He questioned his baby. She looked at him with a smile as she stood there with her yellow tiara on.

Instead of answering her daddy, she just crawled on the couch and sat the tiara right on top of his head.

Kain didn't even bother to remove it. Kirsten started clapping and yelling, yay! She hopped down and retrieved her pink wand.

"You want me to play princess with you?" He asked her.

"Yeah!" Kirsten replied while holding her yellow wand. She pointed at the tv and yelled, "Fancy Nancy daddy!"

"I see." Kain watched as his baby bounced up and down with excitement. She loved her some Fancy Nancy-she even had the books.

"Kirsten you need to pick your toys up before you can play princess. Put them away in your toy chest." Patrice instructed her granddaughter.

Kirsten just stood there giving her grandma a look. She was two going on twenty with an attitude.

Patrice had been staying at Kain and Moonie's crib for some days now. She was supposed to go home, but she didn't want to be alone. Samaria was in Atlanta with Austin and wouldn't be back until next month.
