(Hendrix's birthday)
"Mann I swear I don't remember being this big at 28 weeks with Hendrix" I complained to Mj and she laughed
"That's whatchu get for being pregnant. You was supposed to say fuck them kids, not fuck and make kids"
"Leave me and my family alone. Either way I would've been pregnant right now cause after that trip me and Benji took to Jamaica after we got married.. BITCH!"
"Look at yall being nasty. I see about 3 more kids in yall future"
"No the hell you don't. After these get here I'm getting my tubes tied. I'm done!"
"You done but is Benji done?"
"He ain got no choice but to be done. He got Hendrix, this new boy and the girl he wanted"
"My poor niece. In the house with all them boys. I gotta rescue her as soon as she come out"
"And you think Benji gone let you take his girl? His ONLY girl at that"
"He'll be alright. I'm keeping her"
MJ rubbed my belly as Meechie walked over and slapped her hand away
"Move before you get any thoughts"
MJ sucked her teeth and watched him walk off before looking at me
"He so damn aggravating. I asked that bitch for some baby names since you asked me to help you pick out the names and now he think I wanna baby. Fuck them kids"
"To say you want your niece so bad, ion think she gone like you cause everytime you around her you saying fuck them kids"
"Baby Mary know I'm not talking about her" she responded while touching my stomach again and laughed
" I know you ain call my daughter baby Mary"
"That's her name. Y'all can name them after me and Meechie"
I shook my head, pushing her hand off my stomach now "hell no"
"Jay!" Hendrix yelled as he ran up to Mj jumping in her arms
"Be careful Hendrix" I told him and Mj waved me off
"Leave him alone. He excited to see his Auntie Jay. Happy Birthday nephew!"
"I two" he told Mj while holding up his two finger like he's been doing all day every since Lani showed him that. Me and MJ laughed
"Yeah, you a big boy now"
"Hendrix come on" jr yelled and he ran over to Mj and hit Mj's leg "put him down"
"Who you talkin to?" MJ asked
"You"
"Move yo bad ass out the way"
"Ima tell my momma you said bad ass" jr responded before running off while me and MJ laughed
"Jr really be looking for any reason to curse"
"I swear. And I blame shy" I told MJ as she put Hendrix down and he reached up trying to grab one of the cookies off of the table so I gave him one
"Thank you" he told me before running off with it going to where jr was with Azaria and London
"Now you know they gone try to take his cookie"
"And if they touch it I'll beat they ass. And his daddy somewhere watching" I looked around, seeing Benji, shy and Meechie bothering bri
"Poor bri. She gone kill all of em"
"Why you think I'm over here, I don't feel like being bothered by they stupid asses. Plus it's too hot to be pregnant right now"
"Fuck y'all. All of y'all" bri cursed at them before hitting Benji back and slapped shy upside the head. Before she could hit Meechie he moved out the way
"They ain shit but a group of big kids. That's all it is" I told Mj, feeling a hand tap my shoulder
"Move out the way real quick yall" I heard my mom say as she carried a big gift wrapped box. I looked at her while she walked through to put it where the rest of Hendrix toys and stuff were
"Ma, you already put 4 boxes over there. Y'all got Hendrix spoiled rotten"
"This is from Benji's cousin Nunu. She dropped it off before she went to work. And I don't. That's y'all" she responded as she walked back over to us
"No. I know how to tell Hendrix no" I pointed to myself "that's yall that can't seem to stop or tell him no"
"I brought you whatever you wanted when you were his age.. I still do now"
"Because I grew up and only child.. and I'm still your only child"
"Well, he could've been an only child too but it's not his fault his parents can't keep them legs closed"
"Opp" MJ laughed as my mom walked off going over to Hendrix who was now with Serenity and ms Shonda and my eyes followed her while I shook my head
"She makes me sick. That's why when the twins get here she better enjoy keeping ALL of em"
"I think she will. Your momma loves the babies"
"I do not want kids when I get older" Serenity said as she walked over to us with her face frowned up
"What happened?"
"They do too much. They need a beating. Especially jr. He called me the b word"
"Jr is a special breed Serenity. That the breed from his daddy side"
"Well they need another breed next time cause ion like that one" she replied before walking off . I pulled out a chair and sat down, rubbing my stomach
"I stood up too long"
"I told you to sit down a long time ago but you said you ain wanted to be lazy"
"Well I should've listened cause now my feet hurt.. ima make Benji massage em later. Ain that right baby?" I asked the last part out loud once I noticed Benji coming to where I sat
"What?"
"Just say yes"
"No"
"So you don't love me?"
"It depends on whatchu said to Mj"
"All I said was you'll rub my feet later. That's the least you can do"
"What wrong witcho feet?"
"They hurt"
"Ion know yo ass tryina stand up all the time when you knew that was gone happen"
I rolled my eyes and ate a piece of the cookie in my hand. I watched as jr walked away from the rest of the kids and went over to Meechie, looking at Mj in the process. He tapped Meechie before telling him something and when I saw him point at Mj, I started cracking up
"Mj you in trouble"
"What?"
I nodded towards Meechie and jr making her and Benji both look
"That lil boy get on my damn nerves" she muttered while walking off to go over there and see what they were talking about, leaving me and Benji. I looked directly at his cup he held on his hand and I guess he noticed because he followed my eyes before shaking his head
"Can't have shit around you or Hendrix. Here" he pushed the cup in my hand making me smile
"Thank you daddy"
He cut his eyes over at me again "Whatchu call me?"
"You heard me" I told him before drinking from his cup I still held and he clapped his hands together
"We bout to speed this party up cause right now you playin"
"How?" I asked with a chuckle. Benji looked me up and down while rubbing his hands together "I just said one little word plus you ain doing shit with my fatass." I told him as I tried to stand up and he helped me
"Who ain't? You pregnant, not broke"
I stopped in my tracks looking at him seeing his was serious and couldn't help but smile again
"See this is why I married you boy"
"You really arm had no choice" Benji responded to me while throwing his arm around me shoulders "it's was either yes or yes. Anything else would've got yo ass that choke slam I been owing you for 2 years now"
"Yeah whatever DIMITRI. I'll be waiting another 2 years for that to happen.. now come on so we can cut this cake for our son" I told him while grabbing his hand and pulled him behind me so we could get Hendrix
