60.

This chapter is honestly long asf for no reason and senseless... but enjoy.

A week later

"I can't believe y'all made something so precious." My mom said as she rubbed the baby's face.

I smiled, "I'm in disbelief myself." I said as I stared down at her myself.

"Where's Chris?" She asked as we stepped out of the baby's room and headed downstairs.

"Sleep. He got up with me every time she cried, trying to help. I thought it was so sweet."

"Isn't he the sweetest, I'd expect you to be sleep too." She said

"I would be but she woke up, hungry. I've been up since." I replied

She sighed, "I hate to have to go. It's been so nice being here these past few weeks." My mom said

"I don't know why y'all won't stay." I said

"Here? I wouldn't dare crowd your space like that." She said

"I'm saying stay, like move here, to Virginia."

"That sounds good, but I don't wanna go through having to look—"

"Um, did you forget the job I have?" I playfully, yet seriously asked.

"You are a real estate agent.." she said, as if she just caught on.

"I found this house Chris and I live in and I found the one Lauren stays in."

"Oh yeah, these are nice..." she said and thought for a second

"I tell you what, we'll still head back home today but I'll talk it over with George and call you later on when we've came to an agreement. In the meantime, you can start looking— when you have the time." She said

"Okay." I nodded

"I can't wait to get back to work anyway." I added

"You have a week left." She replied

"I know." I said

Then it dawned on me, I won't be able to necessarily go back then because though Royalty will be at school, no one will be here to watch the baby.

My mom got the rest of their stuff packed up and was about to head out.

"I loved every bit about being here, except you know, for the mishap, but other than that I've loved it. I'm so sad we're leaving, especially since we're leaving her pretty self behind." She said

"You'll be back in no time." I assured her

"Tell my other baby bye and I love her." She said

"I will, where's dad? I want to say bye."

"In the car, mad because I'm taking long." She said

I jogged to the car and he was indeed sitting in the drivers seat looking overly annoyed.

I tapped on the window and he opened the door, "Bye, love." He said and gave me a tight hug

"Bye dad, fix your face." I laughed

"Listen, do you know where she put my weed? Did she throw it away or something?" He whispered

I fell out laughing, watching as she appeared out of the house with her last bag, "Umm.." I thought

"I've been having withdrawals because she keeps taking my damn weed. There's no sense of detoxing if you gone give it right back— that's like taking crack from a crackhead for one day then giving it back- type of shit is that—"
