IF THAT'S WHAT IT TAKES Book 2

Chapter 42 -Repost

“Uncle Aug!” They all screamed. “Happy Birthday!” Noonie was in the back doing the running man and singing “Happy Birthday to ya.”

“We miss you.” Chay pouted.

“I miss y’all too.”

“Ever since you had Sata you don’t talk to us no more. You don’t love us anymore uncle Aug?” Kay asked innocently.

“Of course I do Kay. It’s just, we been busy getting moved in and stuff. Y’all still my angels.”

“We sent you your gift did you get it?” Chay hit Kay to be quiet.

“It’s a surprise stupid.” Noon gave Kay a look.

“Nah, Auntie Amb will probably give it to me later.” I chuckled.

“How’s school?” Chay asked. “I been telling all my friends you about to be a big famous dentist.”

“Uh…it’s alright.” I tried to muster a smile.

“I want to be a dentist like you Uncle Aug.” Kay smiled brightly.

“You just said that, cause I said that.” Noonie twirled her neck with an attitude. “No Uncle Aug, I’mma be the dentist.”

“Both of y’all can be dentist. We’ll just have a fam full of dentist.”

“I’mma be better than Kay tho.” Noonie danced.

“Noon you always dancing.” I laughed.

“I’mma be a dentist and a dancer.”

I laughed and shook my head.

“Unc gotta go y’all. I call you later when I get my gift.”

“Okay.” They said in unison and blew kisses.

I heard Cha say let me speak to him.

“What you in a hurry for?” She looked at me suspiciously. “Trying to get home to Amb?”

“You already know.”

“Well y’all love birds have fun. Don’t hurt my girl please. Happy Birthday. Love you.”

“Love you too.”

We hung up.

I went to my car and saw a piece of paper that had a red ribbon on it, under my windshield wiper.

I opened it and it read : I love you because you’re the father of my child. Check the trunk.

I took the note and went to my trunk. It was a gift bag in there. I opened it and it was two-shirts. One little enough for Sata and one for me. Mine said : I make adorable babies. Sata’s said: The adorable baby he made.

I laughed, we were moving into Trav and Stac territory with corny. But it was cute and one day me and my Sata had to rock these.

I saw another piece of paper tied with a red ribbon at the bottom of the bag I picked it up.

It read: I love you for being Mel’s Keeper. Check your back seat.

I opened up my car and in my back seat was another gift bag. I opened it and it was a picture frame with three slots. It had a picture of Kay, Chay and Noonie and a card that read : We love you Uncle Aug. Here’s a pic of us for your new apartment so you won’t forget what we look like. Happy Birthday!  Then each of them signed their name.

At the bottom of the bag I saw another piece of paper with a red ribbon. It read: I love you because nobody can love me like you can. Check your CD player and go to Petrinos.
