"Why you looking all nervous?" Banks asked as he drove to his parents' home.
"I'm not." I lied. If his parents didn't like me this would be something that could harm our relationship. I was growing so attached to Banks so I hoped that I can make a great first impression.
Onyx had met his parents already and from what Onyx told me they adored her. I was just hoping everything would fall in line for me as well. I wasn't going to fake shit though. I was going as my pure self and if they respected it, cool. If not that would just be something they would have to deal with.
"Blu, do you think your mommy is nervous?" He asked Blu who was busy playing a game on her iPad.
"I know I'm smart and all but I can't read minds. Try asking her." She said as I gasped. I never knew what would come out of this child's mouth. It was worse because she wasn't even trying to be sassy, that's just how she talks.
"Bluuuuuu." I whined. I really hoped that she wouldn't say any off the wall shit once we made it in front of Banks' family. I still haven't allowed her to see her father since the incident and I was still unsure of what to do. Blu is smart and she asked about her dad every single day and I didn't want to deprive of her of the relationship they share. I know Ayden didn't put his hands on my baby but I felt like if he would have been better with keeping an eye on her this situation would have been different. He played just as much of a part in this as Brookelynn.
"I don't bother him when he plays that 2K stuff and I don't bother you when you watch American." She said as I shrugged.
"It's above me now." I said as Banks and I shared a laugh. Sis was right she knew when my show was on to stay away and she did just that so I can respect her peace when she's on her iPad.
"It's cool mama. When you on that jawn I won't even bother you not even to go get some pink ice cream." He teased as she looked up from her tablet. She was a sucker for ice cream, especially the "pink kind".
"Banks, I didn't say all that. That's an exception to the rules."
"Yo, who made sis?" Banks said as I laughed.
"A bomb mommy. She is me. I am her." I teased.
"Bomb indeed." He said as I smirked. We rode the rest of the way to his parents' house in silence besides the censored Meek Mill he had playing on the radio.
We pulled up to this beautiful mansion and I was in awe.
"This is your parents' house?" I asked looking over at Banks who was smirking and nodding. "It's beautiful."
"It's aight." He teased as I giggled a little. My little one-story house didn't have shit on this place but I loved it. It was just right for my sister, my baby girl, and myself. Banks and Carter basically live with us as well.
"I told you I should have worn heels." I frowned as he helped me out of the passenger seat before grabbing Blu out of her booster seat from the backseat.
"B, y'all look beautiful." He said as I smiled before pecking his lips.
I went on to fix Blu's hair and smooth out her clothes.
"Mommy, Banks already said I look beautiful. Let's go." She whined as I smiled at her before kissing her cheek. She meant the world to me and she didn't even know it.
Blu
"You do look beautiful." I said before going over and fixing Banks' shirt. "You too bookie."
Banks
"How do we look mama?" He asked as they both smiled at me.
"Cheese." She said with a big smile.
"Cheeseeeeee." Banks stretched out and Blu followed suit. I couldn't help but laugh. They truly are my peace.
"Like you're mine." I said before taking a picture of my babies. I saved my phone in my designer bag and fluffed up my curly extensions as I followed behind Banks who held Blu as we walked up to the entrance of this beautiful home.
I was still in awe as I looked around the front yard. He didn't even knock on the door. He walked in and I could smell the BBQ and other food being cooked. My big ass was ready to eat and I had only been here for a minute.
"Is this Ms.Blu?" A voice said as I looked over to see a beautiful woman who I assumed be Banks' mother. Her bronze skin held a glow and I loved how she flaunted her curly mane. This woman didn't look like she was anyone's mother. Sis was finer than me.
Claire
"That's me." Blu smiled while raising her hand as I giggled. You really can't take her anywhere.
"And hello beautiful." She said giving her attention to me as I smiled shyly.
"Damn, ma. I call her beautiful everyday and she never blushes this much." He said as she laughed.
"Banks." I whined.
"I'm just teasing bae." He said before placing a soft kiss on my forehead. His forehead kisses are the best.
"Hello." I said softly as Banks laughed. He thought it was so funny that I was being so shy.
"Don't be shy. I'm Claire."
"Blessen." I said offering her my hand but she engulfed me in a hug. She smelled so sweet and the hug we shared was so warm and inviting. Her hug reminded me of the hugs my mother and I used to share so I appreciated it more.
"Everyone's outside. Let me introduce you to everyone." She said as we followed behind her. I was still in awe admiring how beautiful this house was.
As soon as we made it outside Cali, Chrys, and Lexington found Blu and rushed away with her after greeting me. Those four together are some serious trouble.

There was a nice crowd who were seated on tables surrounding the pool. Onyx and Carter were chatting and sipping on wine coolers with some other family members while Mega and Kelsi were seated by the pool enjoying each other's conversation.
"Banks leave me and my girl alone. Now is a perfect time to go talk to your dad." She eyed him as he nodded. "Come with me."
"Who's this pretty girl?" A voice said as I smiled to be greeted with yet another beautiful woman. She had thick red hair that went a little pass her shoulders and she removed the shades from her eyes so I could really see how gorgeous she was.
"I'm Blessen." I said offering her my hand again but being pulled in a hug as she got up from her seat in the shade.
"We're huggers." She smiled as I laughed. "I'm Amour. But everyone calls me Granny. I'm Banks' grandmother."
"Is all the women in Banks' life this pretty?"
"Well look at how gorgeous you are." Banks' mom started. "He sees the beauty in us and now he's found it in you."
"Thank you." I smiled.
"Let's go meet the rest of the family." She said as I let Granny know it was nice to meet her before being pulled around by Claire to meet other family members.
"Khai, come here please!" She called out as a pretty light skinned girl with pink hair turned to face me. She looked young. Maybe 18 or 19.
"Hey, ma." She said greeting her mother before greeting me with a shy wave. I couldn't help but to admire how beautiful she was.
"This Banks' girlfriend, Blessen. Blessen this is Khaia, Banks' little sister." I said as we shared a hug.
"You're just the cutest thing ever." I cooed.
"That's how I make them." Claire teased as we shared a laugh. She was right. She had made my baby Banks so beautifully.
"Mommy! Mommy! Mommy!" Blu squealed running towards me but Banks scooped her into his arms before she could get to me.
"Banks why are you messing with my baby?" I teased.
"I'm weakkkkkk." Blu said as I laughed. Banks had her laughing so much with his tickles that she couldn't even breathe.
"Little girl, calm down."
"Lil mama wild bruh."
"That's your fault." I said as he kissed my cheek.
"Y'all are so cute. I'm going find me a man." Khaia said as I laughed.
"A what? You're like 3. You got enough men in your life. Carter, me, and pops. Any other nigga come around here getting put down." Banks said as I rolled my eyes. He thinks he's everyone's dad.
"That's my cue to leave." Khaia said before throwing up the deuces and walking away.
"Leave my child alone Banks." Claire laughed. "Blessen, are you any good in the kitchen?"
"My baby is an amazing cook." Banks said with the biggest smile. He always spoke so highly of me.
"Great! You wanna help me and Granny in the kitchen?"
"Sure." I smiled. I warned Blu to be good for Banks as I followed Claire and Granny back into the house.
We washed our hands before I helped to finish prepare our meal for today. I laughed as they recalled old stories of Banks as a child.
"He hated when we bought Khaia home. He was the baby and when we took Khaia in she had all of our attention. He would just stare at her but he hated to see her cry." Claire laughed. "He acted so hard but he wouldn't let anyone play with his sister."
"He's so overprotective." I added while washing and peeling potatoes.
"He's always been that way." Granny cooed while making homemade lemonade. "Blessen?"
"Yes ma'am." I said giving her my attention. She looked at me with the sweetest eyes and smile.
"You're exactly what he needs. You and that beautiful baby are going to keep him straight and focused. He won't admit it but you came at the perfect time."
"Thanks Granny." I smiled thinking about how much Banks meant to me. Everything she thinks I am
to Banks is all that he is to me.
"You're locked in now. You're family." Claire said as we shared a long, warm hug. We swayed side to side as a tear fell down my cheek. She reminded me so much of my mother. She pulled me back and used her thumb to wipe away my stray tear.
"I'm sorry. You just remind me so much of my mother who passed." I sighed as she handed me napkin that I used to dab at my eyes careful not to mess up what was left of my makeup.
"Yo, who made my baby cry?!" Banks exclaimed as I smacked my lips. "Granny, was it you? I know your ass is sassy."
"Boy watch your mouth! I didn't say shit!" Granny said as we all shared a laugh.
"No one made me cry baby. I'm just happy. They make me feel so welcomed." I said as he held me by my waist.
"I told you. You have nothing to worry about. You're stuck with me." He said as he kissed my forehead.
After I got myself together Banks left us so we could finish cooking. I finally felt a sense of family since my mother's been gone and I'm so thankful for Banks and his family.
He's stuck with me now.
