Jaxon cried as Dear took him from Amaru out of the water. Everyone was in Gatlinburg for the weekend for his first birthday and he was throwing his fifth temper tantrum of the day. They were currently at the indoor water park and Jaxon did not want to get out of water.
"Boy, you better hush." Dear said as she wrapped his towel around him. "Ya mama and daddy made these water babies and don't know what to do with them."
"Not too much, Dear." Heather teased.
"You better hope that little girl in there is calm and won't get rowdy like these boys." Dear continued. "Look at him—still crying."
Heather laughed. "Come here, mommy's baby." She said as she took Jaxon from Dear. "She's talking about my baby, huh?"
Jaxon laid his head on Heather's chest as he continued to cry. "Spoiled." Dear scoffed.
After they gathered everyone, they all went back to the cabin. Amaru rented the Sycamore Mansion for everyone to stay in and it had more than enough room for them due to the cabin being made for up to forty four people.
"Man, hell nah!" Arman said as he threw the pool stick down. "Who taught you how to play pool?"
"My papa." Alia said as she stuck another ten dollar bill in her pocket.
"That's right, baby girl." Donte chimed in.
Once everyone was washed up and settled, they scattered all over the cabin while Heather, Mya, and October got dinner ready. Dinner for night one consisted of barbecue ribs, fried chicken, mac and cheese, greens, baked beans, potato salad, and cornbread—for Killian of course.
"Aight Lia, we don't need you taking all of cousin's money. Time for the men to play." Zachariah told her.
"Y'all just gonna break his pockets even more." Alia teased.
"Okay, we gotta fight at this point." Arman said as he playfully squared up with her.
Alia rolled her eyes. "Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm going upstairs. Bye, men!" She said before making her way upstairs.
"Zach, I got beef with your oldest daughter." Arman told him.
Zachariah chuckled. "Don't let her younger siblings hear you say that. They'll jump you—especially Ali."
"His sneaky ass." Shakur mumbled. "Mya swears he can't do any wrong. I got beef with him for real."
"Don't worry, man. October is the same way when it comes to Ali. I catch hell for disciplining him." Zachariah replied.
Amaru walked down the stairs with a box filled with liquor. "No kids are down here, right?" He asked.
"Nope, let's drink!" Donte exclaimed.
-
"You're still drunk?" Heather giggled as Amaru kissed her neck.
After dinner, they sung happy birthday and had cake. They spent time playing a few games with the kids until they all crashed. Now all of the couples were sitting in the living room enjoying some late night snacks.
"Just a little bit, mamas." Amaru told her.
"So you can consent?" Heather whispered, making Amaru smile.
"Nope! I can tell by Amaru's smile y'all are about to sneak off!" Mya said. "Let's play a game."
"There's a game that I wanna play with my wife but you blocking!" Amaru said, making everyone laugh.
"Boy, shut up!" Mya shouted. "Let's play how well do we know our spouses. I bought white boards and I already have the questions because I been had this game planned since the wedding, but we didn't get the chance to play."
"So that means Arman and I will ask the questions and keep score?" Nova said.
Arman sucked his teeth. "We damn near married, girl!"
"Well, we're not married right now." Nova told him. "Go get the stuff for the game."
"No, I wanna play." Arman protested.
"Y'all better quiet down before the kids wake up." Cynthia said as she went towards the kitchen.
"There we go! Mama Cyn, can you be the host of our couples' game?" Arman asked. "Only if you're not too tired."
"I don't get tired. Let's play." Cynthia said. "But I already know my daughter and son in law are gonna smoke y'all."
"Period, mama!" Heather exclaimed.
"Oh, nah. We can't have a biased host." October chimed in. "We need papa to keep score because she might cheat."
"Yup, daddy is definitely still up." Mya said as she picked up her phone to text him to come downstairs.
Zachariah laughed. "You love saying his name don't you?"
"Daddy, dad, father, papa." Mya joked.
A few minutes later, Donte walked downstairs with the bag of items the needed of the game and entered the living room. "Alright, I'm here." He said as he went and gave Mya a kiss on her forehead.
"Brat." Zachariah teased.
"Hater." Mya retorted.
After a while, October and Zachariah lost by one due to Zachariah getting October's favorite house chore wrong; and Nova and Arman lost by two due to Arman getting her favorite color wrong and she got his favorite ice cream flavor wrong. "Okay, this is the tie breaker between the Kings and the Kings." Cynthia said. "Whew! Y'all are too grown for me! What is your wife's favorite sex position?"
Mya gasped as she wrote the correct answer on her whiteboard. "I forgot about that question! I'm sorry, daddy!"
Dontae chuckled. "Y'all grown, sweetheart."
"Turn the whiteboards in three, two, one."
Amaru and Heather both had missionary while Shakur had six nine and Mya had doggy style. "Six nine?!" Mya said. "I should slap you! That's your favorite position!"
"Oh damn. It is." Shakur replied.
"Our winners are Amaru and Heather!" Donte announced.
"And now, we're about to do missionary." Amaru said as he quickly stood up.
"Mommy." Micah said, entering the room. "May I have milk?"
"No, go to bed." Amaru told him.
Heather popped him. "Stop being mean. My baby can get some milk."
"But Heather, I—"
"The longer we debate about the milk, the longer it'll be for missionary." Heather told him.
"You want your milk warmed up, little man?" Amaru asked as he picked him up and took him to the kitchen.
"Just fast and nasty." Arman said with a frown.
"So I guess you don't want to be fast and nasty?" Nova asked him.
Arman quickly looked at her and smirked. "You ain't said nothing but a word, shawty."
"Y'all better not be loud with all of these babies in here or I'm beating ass." Cynthia told them once she finished putting up all of the whiteboards.
"Yes ma'am." Everyone said.
-
"Awww, look at the babies." Mya cooed as she watched Kennedi and Jaxon sleep side by side on the recliner. "All of that excitement at the aquarium tired them out."
"Fuck the excitement at the aquarium. Those little savages jumped me earlier. I should wake their asses up." Arman chimed in.
"You better leave them alone." Mya said.
"Wake y'all baby asses up!" Arman yelled, scaring them and everyone surrounding them.
Kennedi and Jaxon began to cry and Mya started to hit Arman. "Why would you do that, Arman?!"
Kennedi got up from the recliner and began to hit Arman as well. Jaxon got up as well and bit his leg.
"Oww! He's biting me! Jaxon is biting me!" Arman yelled.
Amaru and Shakur cracked up as they went to save their little cousin. Amaru grabbed the babies while Shakur grabbed Mya. "Y'all didn't have to jump my little cousin." Amaru said as he continued to laugh.
"He didn't have to scare my babies." Mya said, walking away. "You better sleep with both eyes open, Arman. We coming for that ass."
Arman sucked his teeth as he looked at his leg. "This little nigga really left teeth marks on the leg."
Both Amaru and Shakur were cracking up. They've both been bitten by Jaxon before and they knew the pain too well.
"You know he and Ken don't play. They're not Killian and Micah—they'll fight." Shakur said.
"Nah, fuck all of that. We got beef forever." Arman replied as he playfully slapped Kennedi and Jaxon in their faces. Amaru placed them back on their feet and they went after Arman again who ran towards the kitchen to get protection from Heather.
