"Kids, dinner is ready!!!"I yelled while placing each pan of food on the table.

The first person I saw walk down the stairs was Landon.

"Landon, baby, I made that chicken for you since you don't eat salmon"I said to him while pouring juice in Skylar and Leon's cups.

"Aight bet, I appreciate it mama"he said while going to sit down and grab a plate.

"You washed your hands?"

"Yea"he said while looking at me and I laughed because I knew he was lying.

"No you didn't"

"I did!"

"When Landon?"

"Before I came down here"

"Mhm well wash them again, I saw you dig that booty bite"

"Damn ma how you gone just violate me like that!?"

"Go wash your damn hands! Kids!!!!"

Sienna, Sam, Skylar, and Leon all came in here in pairs.

Sam had Leon while Skylar was with Sienna.

"Did y'all wash your hands?"I asked them.

"Don't you see them wet!"Sam said while walking past me and I hit her in her forehead.

"Who you talking to you!?"

She laughed while rubbing her forehead.

"I was playing!"

"Stop fucking playing with me Samaria!"

I looked over at Sienna who had that damn lizard in the kitchen.

"Sienna get her out of here!"

"I didn't take her out, Skylar did!"

"You a damn lie, get her out of here now!"

"Am I lying Sam!?"

"No Skylar actually unlocked the cage and took her out"

"Oh okay. You better leave Sunlight alone before she bites your little ass"I said to her.

"Oh and Sienna wash your hands again"

"Okay"

Once everybody had their hands washed and plates made we all sat down and ate.

"Mama your salmon tastes better than Tomiya's when she tries to cook it. Her's is always too fishy"Sam's messy ass said.

"Fishy like you"Landon said and she got up.

"Landon— Samaria sit down!"

I watched as she sat back down before throwing a green bean at him and Sienna laughed.

"Do it again and Ima beat you!"

"Tell him to leave me alone then!"

"Both of y'all stop!"

"Mama where's dad at?"Sienna asked me and I thought about Lontrell.

He was gone, but I'm not sure where to.

I just know that it wasn't to go handle anything important.

At four he had left and hasn't been back since.

I literally had forgot all bout him.

"I- I don't know. I'll have to call and see where he is, but you just eat don't worry about your dad I'm pretty sure he's fine"

It was silent for a while before Skylar and Leon started babbling to each other.

"How's school going for everybody?"I asked them before sipping from the glass of red wine that I had.

"Good, I finally got an a in Chemistry"Sam said.

"That's good make sure it stays that way. What about you Sienna?"

"School is great. Especially when I don't have girls as my friends anymore!"

"I'm glad that you feel that way about school, but how are your grades babe?"

"They're good mama"

"I'll check later. I know you love your little friends or whatever, but you better be careful around them lil boys. They'll get your ass in some big trouble! Also, school isn't about friends. Get your education baby, them friends of yours won't be there forever!"

"Landon how's school?"I asked him.

"It's Aight. It wasn't all that easy in the beginning but it's getting there. Only bad grades I got is a fifty in Physics and a seventy in Pre-Calculus"

"Really!?"

"Yea"

"Baby you gone have to work harder than that. I understand you have to play sports and still try to do good in school but ya grades are more important. You might have to talk to your coach and see if you can do half tutoring and half practice all in one hour"

"Yea I'll see what I can do. How are you mama?"

"I'm fine, I'm doing good. There is something I have to tell you guys but I'll just wait until you're done eating"

"Nope tell us now!"Sam said.

"I wanna hear it now, what's the point in waiting"Landon said while putting his fork down and sitting back in the seat.

"Me too"Sienna said.

"Okay promise me that neither one of you are gonna get mad or anything"I said and they nodded.

"We won't"

"Okay, your dad and I are going to be splitting up for a while, so I won't be here anymore—"

"Wait so where are you going?"Sam asked me.

"I'll be moving into my own house and y'all will be staying here with your dad. I'm still gonna see you everyday, I just won't be here living in the same house with y'all. With that being said, Landon and Sam, I'll need you two to take good care of your siblings. All of you need to be good for your dad, please try not to upset him. Sam I'm sorry to break it to you, but you're gonna have to stop seeing Shun and I think your dad is gonna take y'all's keys"

"What!!?"Sam yelled.

"Yea. The only time you'll be able to see him is if your dad says you can! This isn't my house anymore, as of next week I won't live here anymore so I need you to respect him in his house! I'm still your mother of course and I'll be able to see you every day if I'm not busy. Just because I won't be here that doesn't mean you're gonna disrespect me either. If I tell you to do something, you do it! Regardless of who I'm with or who your dad is with, you're still gonna respect us!"

"So you're gonna get a divorce?"Sam asked me.

"We're not sure yet but until then make sure you do what I said. Just please please please do not upset your dad especially you Sam!"

"Why especially me!?"

"You know what I'm talking about!"

"Okay"

"Alright y'all finish eating, Ima go get ready for bed! Once you're done just leave everything on the table I'll come clean it up later"I said after finishing the rest of my wine and getting up.

"Mama you didn't ever eat your food"Sienna said.

"I know, I'll eat it later on. Good night kids, I love y'all"

"Goodnight, we love you too"I heard before heading into the guest room and getting ready for bed.
