"Okay Papa and Dooda, wait until I get back to eat the candy." Heaven instructed pouring skittles and fruit snacks on each kid's plate. She had saw the trend on TikTok and wanted to test both of their patience.

"Yes ma'am." Nevaeh nodded, putting her hands in her lap, eying her favorite candy on the plate.

When Heaven was done with Daloni's plate, his hands immediately found its way to the plate. "No papa wait until I come back." Heaven chuckled, putting his hands in his lap.

Daloni groaned, crossing his arms over his chest. Every since Heaven had let him eat candy occasionally, he couldn't get enough. Skittles became his favorite, just like Nevaeh.

Heaven sat the camera in front of both kids and walked away, faking like she was in the bathroom. Nevaeh and Daloni both stared at the plate, waiting for her to come back.

"Mine." Daloni said to himself, playing with the candy.

"Papa you have to wait for mama." Nevaeh said, putting his hands back in his lap.

"Wait fur mommy?" Daloni asked, with a small frown. "Mommy!" He yelled, getting impatient. "Come, now!"

"Maybe we can have one." Nevaeh mumbled. She was starting to get impatient, and the colorful candies were not making it any better.

Nevaeh turned her head to side when she heard smacking. Her mouth dropped when she saw Daloni nonchalantly eating the skittles and fruit snacks, like he had no care in the world.

Heaven came from around the corner, and when she saw Daloni eating she wasn't suprised. "Papa you were supposed to wait until I came back." She giggled, kissing his cheek.

"I told him. Can I eat mine now?" Nevaeh responded.

"Yeah go ahead baby." Heaven chuckled. She stopped her phone from recording and made sure the video was saved. "Do you like the fruit snacks or skittles better?"

"Uh the skittles. They make me go crazy." Nevaeh smiled, dancing in her chair.

Heaven burst out laughing shaking her head. "I love y'all so much." She stated. Every chance she got, she made sure to tell both kids how much she loved them.

"I love you more mama. Well I love daddy too. Like same." Nevaeh explained, trying to say that she loved her dad just as much.

"What do you want to be when you grow up?" Heaven asked, pouring herself some skittles in her hands.

Nevaeh put her finger under her chin, thinking. " I wanna be like you." She shrugged. Nevaeh knew that Heaven wasn't her real mom, but nobody could tell else could tell her that. In her eyes, Heaven was the best mom ever.

Heaven chuckled. "Baby I want you to be so much better than me. I want you to do good in school, and keep minding your manners." She said.

"I was on green all last week." Nevaeh reminded Heaven.

"I know, I want you to keep up the good behavior. Remember you can get anything you want, as long as you keep your grades and behavior good." Heaven nodded.

"Yes ma'am." Nevaeh smiled.

"Papa is starting school with you soon." Heaven said. Heaven had been looking into schools for Daloni, figuring that it was now time for him to expand his learning skills. Of course she would have to get the all clear from Dr. Grey, but she hoped that he could finally engage with other kids his age.

"Ou that means he gone be in the kindergarten like I was." Nevaeh gasped. "And I gotta protect him to, cause can't nobody touch my brother." She added.

Heaven stifled a laughter at her daughter's attitude. There was no doubt that Nevaeh was overprotective of Daloni. "Papa you wanna go to school with Vaeh?"

"No." Daloni shook his head, playing on his new iPad. Zylin had bought him another one, because it kept him calm. Whenever he wanted alone time with Heaven, the iPad would do the trick.

"Well you going." Heaven shrugged. "What's your name?" She asked.

"Daloni Papa Bridges." Daloni fluently said. He still thought that his nickname was his real name, but Heaven was slowly trying to break it.

"Close enough." Heaven chuckled.

Zylin held his laughter in, as he held Heaven's phone. He was bored, so he decided to act like he caught Heaven cheating. He had downloaded a fake number, and started texting the number as if Heaven was linking with a guy.

Once Heaven's phone had enough messages, he sat it back down on the nightstand next to her. She was currently taking a nap, because she had just came back from taking Solana to a hair class.

Zylin had the fake number on his phone, so he texted Heaven back to back, so that it would wake Heaven up. He calmed himself down, before he finally started to get things going.

"Heaven who keep blowing up yo phone?" He asked, getting in the bed behind her, like he had just woke up.

Heaven smacked her lips. "I don't know Zylin." She replied, holding the covers under her chin, trying to concentrate on her slumber of sleep.

"Well somebody blowing yo shit up." He said, secretly texting Heaven's phone again with the fake number.

When her phone dinged again, they both groaned. She opened her eyes, grabbing her phone. "The fuck?" She mumbled.

"What?" Zylin asked, peeking over her shoulder. "Yo who is sneaky link?" He asked, with fake anger.

"I don't know." She coughed, sitting up on her headboard. She opened her phone with her face, clicking on the message thread.

"Let me see." Zylin said. Heaven rubbed her eyes, giving him her phone. They both started reading the messages and while Zylin was trying to hold in his laughs, Heaven was confused.

"So this what we on?" Zylin scoffed.

"Zy I don't know who that is. Somebody must be playing on my phone." Heaven frowned, squinting her eyes at the messages.

"How somebody playing on yo phone, and you texting them back talking about I miss you. On foenem this shit better be a joke." Zylin mugged.

"Zylin I swear I don't know who that is. They must had the wrong number." She replied.

"But you texting them back though. You sound dumb Heaven." Zylin shook his head.

"So when you went for a drive the other night, you linked up with this nigga?" He asked, trying to stir the pot more.

"No Zylin, I literally went driving to clear my mind. You know that." Heaven sighed.

"If this what you on, we ain't gotta be together. Real shit. Just be honest with me bru." Zylin said, standing up throwing her phone on the bed.

"I am being honest, I didn't text that. Somebody hacked my phone." Heaven stressed, feeling her emotions run high.

"And you still lying. I'll fuck with you later bru." Zylin mumbled, going to her closet acting like he was putting his shoes on to leave.

Heaven jumped to her feet, following behind him. "Babe, I'm literally telling the truth. I didn't link with nobody. I went on a drive, so that I could clear my mind."

"So why this nigga texting yo phone asking if my kids sleep, and if he could come over. You had him around my kids?!"

"I would never disrespect you or our kids like that. Why you don't trust me? I ain't never gave you a reason not to." Heaven replied, slapping the shoes out of his hand.

"Don't touch me Heaven. I'm cool on you." Zylin chuckled, grabbing a random suitcase.

Heaven didn't know if she was being emotional or what, but the tears that stung her eyes were about to fall. "Bro I'm not cheating on you. I would ne-never do no shit like that."

Zylin turned around trying to hold himself together. He hated seeing Heaven cry. "Yeah a'ight."

When he was about to leave out of the room, Heaven grabbed his arms. "No, Zylin." She shook her head, while the tears flowed down her face.

"Can you let go of me?" He asked.

"I didn't do anything. I'm not fucking sneaking around! Why you trying to leave me?" Heaven sobbed.

"You just tryna give my dick away, and I wish you would Zylin. Stop fucking playing with me, because I ain't do shit to your stupid ass!" She snapped.

"Girl what?" Zylin laughed.

"Bro you not leaving me, I don't care what you say. You put your dick in my soul. Our souls tied." She sniffled, wrapping herself around his legs.

Zylin burst out laughing at how Heaven went from crying to fussing. "Mama it's a damn joke. I was texting you from a fake number." He said.

"You make me sick." Heaven sniffled, standing to her feet, attempting to leave her closet.

Zylin pulled her back by her arms into his chest. "Bro why is you crying? You was just fussing." He frowned, cupping her face in his hands.

"B-Because you woke me out of my sleep, and you keep playing with me." Heaven cried, wiping her face.

"Mama I think you need to take a pregnancy test." Zylin mumbled, rubbing his hands over his waves. When he nutted in her the first time, he tried to remember did he make her take the pill.

"I did, I-I'm not pregnant. And I'm on birth control." She sniffled.

"Well you a crybaby." He chuckled, kissing her forehead. He picked her up, and carried her back to her bed, laying her down. "I'm not gone mess with you nomo." He said, bending down to kiss her lips.

"Thank you." Heaven nodded, pecking his lips three times. Zylin finally left her alone in the room, making sure to shut the door.

"Guess I'll go start a argument with the kids." He shrugged.
