Growing.

EPILOUGE.

"Happy birthday Tink." East said kissing my cheek.

"Thank you East." I smiled taking the bag from his hands. "You got me something?"

He nodded as I reached in the bag and pulled out a little box, opening the box I seen a little heart pendant. "Aww East it's cute, thank you."

"Here, open it." he said making me open it and tears fill my eyes. Inside the heart was a picture of me, him, and my Nana Malisa, who had passed away two years ago to another stroke. "You like it? I didn't mean to make you cry."

"I love it, Easton. Thank you." I hugged him kissing his head. "I love it a lot."

"Want me to put it on you?" he asked making me nod and pull my hair up. Once he clamped it around my neck I let my hair go and held it in my hand. "Happy birthday."

"Thank you." I said letting Kali touch the necklace.

"Mommy told me to tell you to come over to eat breakfast." he said making me nod.

"Okay, go get in the shower and get dressed." I told him standing up from the bed and grabbing Kali. "Bath time."

"Yay bath time!" she clapped her hands.

"Go with daddy to get clothes while I run some bath water for you princess." I said putting her on the floor.

"Tink get off me." my daddy said as I clung onto his arm.

"I missed you old man, how was Africa?" I asked getting a piece of bacon.

"Hot." he said making me chuckle.

"You don't say?" I said sarcastically. "Are you and mommy gonna be ready for dinner tonight?"

"Yes Tink, that was the whole reason we told you come over here." he rolled his eyes. "Worrisome girl."

"Whatever, you'll be in diapers soon. Remember that." I said running away because I knew he was gon try to hit me.

I sat down on the couch since my feet started hurting out of nowhere and watched Kali play with Mya's son Ahzan. "Kali stop taking the toys from him."

"Sorry." she said back.

"That little girl is controlling." Mya said sitting beside me.

"Tell me about it." I chuckled. "She's like that with all the boys and men in her life and they just be letting her ass control them, that's how I know she gon be a mess when she get older and start dating and shit."

"I can't believe we got kids and getting married and shit. Hell nah." Mya said making me laugh.

"Right? It seem like we was just kids at Disney world that one time." I said watching our kids play. "Now I'm your maid of honor."

"It's crazy, I'll be yours soon." she said.

"Hopefully." I said looking at Mesyiah who stood with my Papa and my uncle. "Do you know what you're wearing to my dinner?"

"Yes Tink, worrisome ass." she rolled her eyes. "We all agreed not to give you shit until the dinner. But my gift is the best."

"Sure." I said nodding. "Easton kinda got y'all beat so far, ain't gon lie."

"His raggedy ass stole my idea, it's good though." she said making me laugh.

"You wanna watch Kal for me tonight?" I asked making Mya act like she was sleep. "Okay because bitch fuck you."

"She is a crybaby, all she do is cry for Mesyiah ass." she said. "Look at her ass." she shook her head as we watched her whine standing in front of Mesyiah wanting to be picked up, and his ass picked her up kissing her head and saying something to her.
