-Tiny boring little filler-
"Mommy?" Leighton asked looking up at his grandma.
"I think so. Let's go see." He stood up grabbing her hand walking towards the door.
"You better stop banging on my door like you're the goddamn police." She opened the door, seeing Leigh-Anne about to knock again.
"Oh. Hi mommy" Leigh-Anne smiled hugging her.
"My sissy!" Leighton let go of her hand running past Leigh-Anne to Sasha.
He tried to hug her but she moved away waving at him.
"Hi Joey"
"Huggie" He raised his arms for his sister. She shook her head, taking her shoes off.
"Sissy!" Leighton whined following Sasha around. He just wanted a hug from his sister.
"Use your inside voice Leighton" Victoria reminded the boy.
"Mommy" Perrie picked her son up, shushing him when he started to cry.
"Give him a hug Sasha" Leigh-Anne told her daughter. She stood in the corner feeling overwhelmed and out of place.
"Pease Sissy"
Perrie took Leighton over to Sasha.
"You won't spread anything with a hug baby.He misses you" She said quietly.
"Hi Joey. Don't cry, I'm sorry bub" She took her little brother. He kissed her cheek and Sasha looked at Perrie.
"Calm down, Go introduce yourself."
"Good afternoon Miss, I'm Sasha" She stuck her hand out for Victoria,she pulled the girl into a hug.
"Leigh-Anne has told me so much about you. I don't know why I'm only now meeting you. You can call me grandma or nanny, whatever you want. Are you in school?"
"Yes ma'am"
"You have good grades?"
"Yes ma'am"
"Oh stop with the ma'am, you're making me feel old. Make yourself at home, well this is your home." Sasha smiled sitting down next to the woman on the couch. They began talking about how much She and Leigh-Anne had in common.
"Sasha?"
"Yes mama."
"Come here baby"
"Am I in trouble mama?"
"No. Come here." Sasha followed Leigh-Anne upstairs.
"You're not in trouble I want to bandage your arm so you can shower and I can wash your clothes."
Leigh-Anne removed the bandage from her arm cringing at the soiled dressing.
"If this doesn't getting better in a few day I'm taking you to see a doctor. Does it hurt?"
"No"
Leigh-Anne took her time dressing the infected area with a waterproof covering.
Sasha began undressed handing her clothes to Leigh-Anne.
"No, Don't bend your arm right there. Do you need help?"
"Yes please." Leigh-Anne helped her out of her clothes.
"Let me know when you finish"
"Thank you mama"
"You're welcome baby. Shower, we'll have lunch in a few" she said, taking the clothes downstairs to the basement.
"You don't hit your mommy Leighton." The woman popped the toddler's hand. He began to cry holding Perrie's leg. Silently asking her to pick him up.
"What happened? Come to mama" Leighton ran to Leigh-Anne.
"What's wrong Joey" He put his hand in front of her mouth.
She kissed it softly.
"Did you smash your fingers?"
He shook his head before laying his head on Leigh-Anne's shoulder.
"Tell mama. Who did it?"
"Nanny"
"Nanny did it?" He nodded pointing at the older woman.
"Give her pow pow mama" Leigh-Anne walked up to her mother.
"You want your fingers?"
"Yes"
"Okay then."
"Give him to me" Leigh-Anne handed Leighton to her.
"You got a pop because you hit your mommy. You don't hit your mommy. Do you understand?"
"Mhm"
"Say yes"
"Yes nanny"
"Good. Next time you tell your mama and she tries to get bold with me, I'll give her a pop too"
Leighton giggled at Leigh-Anne who sat in perries lap. He laid back against his Nanny.
"Puppies!"
"I keep telling you, Nanny doesn't have a puppy bubba"
"Puppy mommy"
"He means paw patrol, Ma. it's a cartoon" Perrie told her mother in law.
Leightons been missing his brother so he's been watching paw patrol with his skye plushie.
"Here" She handed Perrie the remote and she put on the cartoons.
Victoria sat Leighton on the couch going into the kitchen starting Lunch.
"Mama I'm done."
Sasha poked her head down the stairs well. Leigh-Anne stood up going upstairs.
"Why didn't you get dressed?"
"You told me not to bend my arm."
"Yall need to hurry it up, my grand baby is hungry." Victoria called up the stairs.
"Find a shirt so we can go down." Sasha grabbed the first shirt she saw, handing it to Leigh-Anne. She pulled it over her head and held some shorts to step into.
"Come on"
"I'll be down in a minute" Sasha told Leigh-Anne pretending to look around for something.
Everyone was seated at the table waiting for Sasha.
She came down sitting at the table a few minutes later.
"What are you studying in school?" Victoria asked trying to make small talk while lerrie spoke to Leighton.
"Um. I'm undecided. I was thinking sports management. I really love volleyball."
" You're going to need a real job baby. Volleyball ain't gonna play your bills. You need to be a doctor or lawyer or something."
"I was thinking that if that didn't work out that I would go and work with mommy and mama at the rehab facility."
"Why stop there when you can do bigger things? At least be a real nurse. That's what I tell Leigh-Anne all the time."
"I think I just want to help people nanny. Like mama and mommy helped me" Leigh-Anne looked at Sasha when she heard that.
"How did they help you?" Victoria asked, looking between Leigh-Anne and Sasha.
"She fostered me and then they adopted me. Now I have a good life."
The woman nodded. She watched the girl eat. As she did she noticed the bandage on her arm along with the track marks.
"They helped you get clean."
"What?" Sasha looked up
"I see it. Your arms are a mess. Such a pretty girl with hideous arms. Was it worth it?"
"Mama! What are you saying right now? Why would you say that" Leigh-Anne got up to go after her daughter.
"I got her babe. Take him" Leigh-Anne sat down putting Leighton on her lap.
Perrie walked knocked on her daughters bedroom door.
"Mama?"
"Its mommy babe"
Sasha opened the door for Perrie. She hugged her daughter.
"I know how you feel baby. She used to say things like that to me too. But I promise she's a good person."
"Its true" Sasha cried
"No."
"It is. I can't wear long sleeves for the rest of my life mommy. My arms are ugly"
"Listen, scars don't make you. They're just a reminder of the things you overcame. Overcoming addiction is one of the hardest things Sasha.thats a huge deal."
"How would you know" She sniffled into Perrie.
"Where do you think your mama found me?"
Sasha pulled away from Perrie to look at her. They never told her.
"Really?"
"Yeah."
"How come you never told me?"
" I didn't want you to be ashamed of me. I already felt like you liked Leigh-Anne more than me. I thought that if you knew you wouldn't want me around.i don't know why"
"No mommy. I love and like you and mama the same. Which is a whole lot. I never knew, you're so normal and stuff"
"Definitely not normal but I am okay."
"I want to be clean again mommy. Can I go today?"
"To rehab?"
Sasha nodded.
"If you want to I will take you. I would just say to spend as much time with everyone before you go. Visitation is only once a month."
"I know but I'll have you and mama there. You guys can bring Leighton."
"Eh, maybe for visitation but not just to be there."
"Okay. Thank you mommy. I love you"
"I love you too. You need to take your medicine"
Sasha took Perrie hand following her downstairs. She didn't want to see Leigh-Anne's mom anymore.
