" It's a surprise now get ready while i get dooda ready" i get off him den go to dooda room. He's already up and jumping on his bed. " Hey birthday boy"
" Hi tae tae. What we doin today?" dooda ask
" It's a surprise but let's get you ready" he gets off his bed and follows me to his bathroom. I put him on the counter den grab his toothbrush, wet it, put toothpaste on it, wet it again, and give it to him. He looks in the mirror and brushes his teeth. " You took a shower last night?"
" Mhm" he nods
" Alright" i go in his room, take out a spider man shirt, some black shorts cause it's warm all day today wit a luh breeze, black socks, den grab his black an red jordans. I grab the lotion and deodorant an some earrings. All of a sudden, i feel arms wrap around me and a chin on my shoulder.
" Thank you" dray says in my ear
" For what?" i ask
" A lot" he tells me. I turn around and give him a kiss
" Don't thank me yet but go get ready and hurry up cause ya breath stink" he mushes my face den walks out. I chuckle den go back in the bathroom to see dooda about to use a qtip.
" Aht no" i take it from him. " q-tips don't work well"
" What i use den?" he ask
" A towel" I grab his wash cloth, wet it, den wash his face an ears. " Who told you ta use em?"
" Daddy" ofc.
" Don't do that. Always clean ya ears every day will a towel" i tell him. I clean behind his ears den put him towel up. My phone starts ringing so i take it out den answer. " Hey maz"

" Hi mazi" dooda waves at the camera
" Is everything set up?" i ask
" Pretty much and people is hea already. Some of dey other homeboys is hea and i know i got the better one cause dey friendly asfc" i chuckle

" Nigga please. Aint nobody better than the original aka me"
" Ouu you say bad word" dooda says
" Yo daddy say it too" i tell him
" naw his daddy say every curse word in the book"
" Specially if he mad" i say. I brush his hair up den hold it together tight
" Ow"
" Im sorry. It'll take 20 seconds" I grab the hair tie off my left wrist then pull it over and tie his hair up
" Aye how far is yall?" ceej ask as he takes the phone
" 30 mins ceejay. We ain't even left yet. Waking dray up aint easy" i tell him den spray dooda hair and brush his hairline. I get him off the counter and he goes to his room. I grab my phone and follow him.
" Hurry up. Yo momma brought the baby shower meatballs"
" Don't rush me. Im workin wit a half sleep 20 year old and excited 4 year old"
" WHAT IM POSED TA WEA?" dray yells
" SUM THAT MATCHES YOUR BLACK AND RED JORDANS" i yell back
" Ion get how you doin all this and yall not married nor together"
" Because ion rush people like you do" i hang up. Atp dooda already got his clothes on. I put his earrings in and shoes on den lotion his legs and arms. I put vaseline on his face and lips. " Chain or no chain?"
" Chain" i grab the chain i bought him 2 months ago, yes i've known him an dray for a while, den put it on his neck. "Alright now lets go see if daddy ready"
40 mins later....
" Tae where are you taking us" dray ask as i hold his hand, carry dooda, and lead them into the building. Nobody told dray what's going on so both of them have blindfolds on.
" To the surprise i have, put your arm out and push" he does what i said and we walk into the building. I put dooda down and he tries to run but i grab his arm. " Stay still"
Mazi walks over to help me with the blindfolds while jay go over to the lights. We take the blindfolds off and jay turns on the lights.
" HAPPY BIRTHDAY KAYDEN!" everybody shouts
" Dis for me?" kayden ask
" Yes dooda" i tell him and he hugs me. Im finna cry. I hug him back and when i let go, he runs off to go play. I look at dray and he's stuck. Our friends walk over and ceej an mari shake him.
" You good my nigga?" mari ask
" Who's idea was this?" dray ask
" It was mari idea to surprise yall but tae came up with everything. I mean the theme, what ta have, what food ta get, who to invite, everything" jay tells him. I almost broke my neck from how fast this nigga picked me up and kissed me.
" Awww" mazi says and i put up my finger while kissing back. " Rude"
" Aight dats enough" i get down. " Do you like it?"
" You betta cause we spent racks on this shit" mari says
" I love it and dooda definitely loves it" dray tells us.
" It's 2 bounce houses out back but fr though, thank this mf cause he bought mostly everything" ceej points to me and den dey walk away. Dray hugs me and i wipe his tears.

" My momma is just like jaz and we've known each other long enough plus i already told her you did all of this so she really wants to meet you" he tells me
" Ok but then you gotta meet mines" i tell him
" Deal now cmon" he takes my hand and takes me outside. We take bout 35 steps till we're behind a body i know very well.
" Ms. Jameson?" i question and she turns around with a huge smile on her face

" Wth is goin on?" dray ask
" Babe this is my algebra teacher aka my favorite teacher" i tell him

" Jazmine needs ta mind her business but yes momma" he says
" Im lettin yall know, dray you break this childs heart, i hurt you. Tae, you break my sons heart, me and ya momma havin a boxing match" she tells us
" Im not doin that" we say at the same time
" Yall got that love sparkle in yall eyes" i choke on my drink and dray pats my back

" Momma we been talkin fa bout a year but we started dating 10 mins ago" dray explains
" I swear yall so damn stupid. Why wait dis long if yall been talkin fa foeva?"

" Go ask ya mom first" he runs off
" Aww look at you bein a step uncle" jay says
" There's sum i gotta tell yall" i say
" What?" mazi ask and i pull them to the empty side of the room.
" Since im intersex, i can get a period and have kids. " i tell them
" Damn i feel bad for you" jay says
" My sister said her ass hole used ta hurt fa no reason but only when she got her period" mazi tells me
" So wait do you wear tampons cause i seen how them mfs work and that looked uncomfortable" jay questions
" Yes and they aren't" i tell him
" It opens like a book though" mazi says
" Mf it's cotton. Yall really think cotton hurts?" i ask. My friends can be dumb sometimes
" You right. Maybe dray should get you pregnant too so we all can be pregnant" i smack mazi upside his head. " ouch bitch"
" That's the thing. His official 20th birthday is the sunday coming up and im very horny so if i get drunk an that mixes with my hornyness then ian lettin his ass pull out and people can't have abortions an there aren't many plan b's so i couldnt not have a child. Im not ready for a kid"
" Ok breathe nigga. You actin like mazi rn and you usually the calm one" jay tells me
" True but rude" mazi says
" Shut up. If you do end up pregnant that day then guess who 2 pregnant mfs is gon help you out"
" Aight so the thing is when i told yall we never fucked, i lied. We fucked bout 5 times drunk with no condom 2 months ago" they groan
" you serious?" mazi ask
" Mhm"
" And you worried bout if you gon get pregnant on his birthday. Nigga you could be pregnant nie" jay says
" And if you is, you gon be the only one able to push" mazi says
" Wym?" we all jump
" Jesus joseph and mary, don't do that!" mazi says
" Our bad but what yall talkin bout in this corner? yall trynna kill smb assum?" ceej ask
" Maybe dey could be trynna steal the mac n cheese" mari says
" No and no" i tell them
" Can i?" jay ask
" Go ahead" jay starts explaining
" Damn so yall gon be the pregnant triplets" mari jokes
" I will grab plyers and break your dick then leave mazi dickless" i tell him while pullin his ear
" Dont do that. No no no do not do that" mazi moves my hand and mari rubs his ear
" This is serious dumbasses. Not everybody wants to be pregnant and in highschool" jay tells them
" You right. Just call doctor kelly and tell ha ta bring the shit she use" ceej tells us
" Aight" mazi takes out his phone and calls doctor kelly
2 hours later....
" Too fast" dooda says as i spin him around
" Mb" I stop him and he feels around on the poster then places an eye down. We are playing pin the eye on spider man. He is the only person that got it. "You did it!"
" Yay" he does his lil dancy dance
" You ain't open yo prize yet" Dray gives him a gift bag. He opens it and takes out 3 stacks. I was about to tell dray sum when mazi pulls me away
" Wtf mazi" i say
" So we jus gon forget that you are 2 months pregnant and found out today plus you've been with the baby daddy for 2 hours and 13 mins" jay ask
" Plus you still gotta tell your parents and he hasn't even met your momma" mazi adds
" That's why i called my mom here. She just got her 7 mins ago. I was gonna tell them but you pulled me away!" i tell them
" Ohh" they say
" Jay you get my dad, mazi you get my mom, i'll get dray" they nod and we do our jobs. We go outside to a table and i sit them down. I keep jay and mazi here.
" Ok mom dad, this is my boyfriend. Dad you know him already but mom this Drayvion. I've been with him for 2 hours and 14 mins. He's the father of the birthday boy but that's not his only child" i say in one breath
" Tae i only have dooda. He's my only child" dray says
" How old is this nigga?" my mom ask
" 20 and no he's not babe. Remember what happened 2 months ago?" dray nods then realizes
" Aw shit. Your serious?"
" We had doctor kelly confirm" mazi tells him
" Is it just me that's confused?" my dad ask
" Dad your gonna be a 34 year old granddad" my dad damn near faints but jay catches him.
" You better be lying" my mom did not want me to end up like her. She acts like having me at a young age was the biggest mistake of her life.
" Im not. Mom for the last fucking time, im not you. You told me grandma didn't support you having a kid as a teen and you don't want that for me but yet your doing it"
" Yea! because your ruining your life"
" SO YOU RUINED YOUR LIFE WHEN YOU HAD ME? ykw ian doin this with you cause i've been doing it since i was 10. I cannot live wit a hypocrite. Im moving out, gettin my own place, and damn sure disowning you"
" Hollon wait" my dad says
" No. Dad i love you so much but i cannot stay in a house with her any longer" i tell him. " i've cut myself plenty of times because of this bitch right here. Idk how she was before you got her pregnant but her now makes me wanna die and i like my life so i gotta move out"
I go back to the front while dray calls my name. I get in the car and break down. Dray gets in the car and rubs my back.
"Cmere" i crawl over the seat and sit on his lap den put my arms around his neck and lay my head on his shoulder while he continues to rub my back.

Dooda runs to the door while i grab tae and pull him to jay then pull both of them to the bathroom.
" You ok?" i ask
" Yea. I didn't say anything, he just let me cry on his shoulder till i felt better" tae says
" What about you being pregnant?" jay ask
" He's happy and he's gonna be there to take me to appointments an everything. He's gonna tell dooda, his sister, an his mom rn. He also said i can move in with him but i said it's too early"
" Good because i asked my parents and they said you can stay as long as you want since we have an extra room" i tell him
" Why are you crying?" he ask
" I didn't know i was" i chuckle
" When we move out, we should get a 3 bedroom condo since we always wanted to live together" jay suggests
" Yea. Hopefully we don't have crybabies for babies" tae says
" My grandma said i should move in wit mari a month before like we don't have quiet baby genes in both of our families" i tell them
" Why are you guys talking in the bathroom? mari ask as he walks in
" Out!" we tell him. He puts his hands up in defense and walks out
" We should get a dog" tae says
" Pitbull" i say
" Yea but we're gonna want to name it sum different so maybe we should get our own pitbulls" jay says
" What about the same kazi" i ask
" That's dif-"
" We're cutting the cake, cmon" dooda says as he struggles to pull tae.
" Ok we're coming" we walk out
Later at the skating rink....
" Your not naming my possible nephew, drayvion junior" i tell dray
" Stop eating the mcflurry for one second and explain why not" he tells me
" Because there's always a junior. What i would do is mix your names" jay tells him
" Wth can you get out of jaylin and jordan? i ask
" Aye nigga, we don't do government names round hea" ceej tells me
" I wasn't talking about me. I was just saying" jay tells me
" All i know is, i better get a nephew from one of you" tae says
" Im pretty sure we all wanna have a son" mari says
" No i wanna daughter so she can protect her brother from bitches that'll break his heart and vice versa" ceej tells him
" Babies actually start out as girls" i tell him
" So your telling me im a female just in a males body?" tae ask
" I-i dont even know how to answer that" i say
"Yall just gon sit here and talk about babies that don't even have legs yet or skate?" jaz ask

" Huh? why me?" tae ask
" Cause you the only one that had a kinda bad day today" i pluck mari. " Ow"
" All i needed was to cry and that's what i did. Plus i got 2 knuckleheads that never let me be sad so even if i was, they wouldn't let me" he tells them

" You do tattoos with mari right?" i nod. " I need you to do one on me"
" Alright whatchu wa-" he shows me a picture of a medusa tattoo so i take his phone and look at it in every angle to make sure im seein this clearly
" Nigga" i slaps my arm. " This is serious. I wanna get it done tonight"
" Why not ask mari?" i ask
" Because mari aint good at keeping secrets like you well he is, just not so good at keeping them from mazi. If you can hide a 2 year relationship plus a child then you can hide the fact that you did a medusa tattoo on me" he tells me
" Mari is actually really good at keeping secrets like this but ard. Wait don't you got school tmrw?"
" I go to school with a period. A tattoo aint nun" i nod and give him his phone back.
" Just text me what time and meet me at the trap" he says ok then we go back

" What's wrong?" i ask
" Im hungry"
" Me too" dooda scared the shit outta dray and mari
" Chile gimme my godson and nephew" mazi says as he gets up and we do that. Mari follows him cause mazi gon drop sum. Dray gets up and takes tae to the rink then jay gets on my side of the booth. Lord jesus help me.
" Babe"
" Hm?"
" Drayvion mightve believed yo light ass but i don't. Tell me the tru-" i choke him
" Watch it. Keep saying light ass and imma make sure yours hurt like a mf. All i can tell you is that he wanted a tattoo" i tell him
" What kind of tattoo?" he ask
" That's sum only he can tell you but don't rush him ta tell you. Let him tell you on his own time" he nods den puts his head on my shoulder
" Im sorry"
" I know you are" he rolls his eyes and pushes my head.
" Dats why ion apologize to yo ass. Youn know how ta say thank you" i kiss his neck and give him a hickey
" thank you" he tries to hide his smile

" Tae can i talk to you rq" i look at my dad, get up, then go into the hallway. " Yk ion want you ta move"
" Dad im across the street and 3 houses down, im not that far" i say
" Even being 1 house next to ours is too far. When i found out i got ya mom pregnant, i was scared. Ion know why but i was. I got even more scared when we found out you were intersex cause i aint wanna beat smb ass incase dey child messed wit mines" i chuckle. "I worry every time you ain't home cause sum can easily happen to you which is why ian want you ta move but you wit people i trust a lot so ik dey gon protect you"
I hug him tight and he hugs me back.
" I love you" i tell him
" I love you more and if you need help with the baby just text" soon as i was born, my dad was my bsf. There's many pictures of him holding me when i was a baby.
" I know" i say
" Uncle ry, can we have our friend back now?" mazi ask
" If it wasn't fa me den you wouldn't have him but yea" my dad tells me he loves me one more time den leaves. I go back in my room and lay down with a pillow under my left thigh.
" Why you got a pillow?" jay ask
" Cause i got a tattoo and i always do this when i get one. It's kinda comfortable" i tell him. Dooda scoots over and lays on me.
" Can we see?" mazi ask. I kinda don't want to but i know they'll make me feel better. I move dooda, lay on my right side and lift up my shorts a little. Jay and mazi get up, walk over, and examine the tattoo.
" Is there a meaning? please tell me there isn't" he says
" There is" i tell him
" When?" jay ask and i point to the date under it. "9/23/ 14"
" Your 10th birthday. That's why you disappeared" mazi says
" Yea. I've learned to cope wit it and learned that it wasn't my fault" i say den turn back around and dooda lays on me again. " Mazi don't you dare cry"
" I can't help it" he tells me and dray walks in wit a tray of fruit. " Negro that's mines"
" Negro i don't care" dray tells him den sits on my bed
" Anyways, baby daddy 1,2,&3 listen now" i say
" Who babydaddy numba 1?" ceej ask
" Dray cause he was a babydaddy first, your number 2, and phone addict over there on my freak chair is number 3" i tell him
" Huh?!" mari stands up quickly
" Chill. Ian use it in a month and i clean it everyday even when i don't use it"
" That don't make it better"
" I need a demonstration" dray tells me
" Too bad you ain't gettin one" he lays between my legs. " Anyways i know it would be a good thing that after the babies are born then we should move in wit yall but we ain't doin that"
" We kn-"
" Aht not finished. We decided earlier today that we were gonna move in wit each other. We are going to get a condo at some point" jay continues
" Also we each might get a dog" mazi finishes as dood kicks dray in the head
" Ow" i rub the side of his head
" That's whatchu get fa eatin my shit" mazi tells him and takes his fruit
" But it's good" dray says
" But did you buy it?"
" No did you?"
" Nope but since my dad did, it's still mines"
" yall aint brothers?" ceej ask
" Hell no" they say
" Argue like it" jay says
" I only got one brother and he is 5" mazi says
" Mari you can sit back down" i say
" No tf i can not" mari tells me
" Babe he was joking" mazi tells him
" Aint sound like it, i'a brb" he says den goes to mazi room
" Ik he ain't bout ta drag that heavy ass beanbag in hea" ceej says
" No he gon carry it" dray says
