I felt my phone vibrate in my pocket and I took it out to look at it.

It was Onyx.

"Yo!?"I yelled as I looked at her through the phone.

"Baby where you at?"

"Shit I'm at the store now, finna head to the studio."

"Mhm how long you gone be there? I miss your ass, I haven't seen you all day almost."

"Yeah I ain't gone be out all night. Where you going?"

After grabbing a couple snacks, I went to get in the line.

She gave me a cold smile, "I'm going to meet up with your ex-wife."

"You need me to be there?"I asked her as I paid for the snacks and some gas.

"No I think I'll be fine baby. She knows not to try me."

"When the fuck did she get in Atlanta?"

"She flew out here just so that we could meet up."

"Just doing extra shit."I shook my head as I headed out of the store.

"Damn bitch you can't say excuse me!?"I semi yelled at this bitch who had bumped into me as I was walking out.

"Yeah hoe use some manners!"Shay yelled through the phone and I chuckled.

"Lil leg outta shape booty goofy looking ass bitch."I said and Shay started laughing.

"What you call her bae? 'Outta shape booty.' I'm fucking dead."

"Hell yeah bitch built like a whole ass ant."

"Not a ant. Yeah but I think I'll be fine babe. She probably has a change at heart now that she sees we've moved on from what happened."

"Hopefully. Don't be fighting and shit gang especially with my baby in yo belly."

"I'm not gone fight that lady. I'll call her outta her name a couple of times, but I ain't gone put my hands on her."

"Yeah aight. Yo ass be thinking you slick and shit."

"How!? Okay I have to finish getting ready, I'll call you once the 'meeting' or whatever is over."

"Aight. I love yooouu."

"I love you too Poppa."

She hung up the phone and I sat in my car while waiting on my car to fill up.

As I was sitting in the car, I saw the bitch who had bumped into me.

She was tatted from head to toe, had a pretty face, and she had that shit on.

The only thing that was fucked up about her was her body.

As she was walking to her car, we locked eyes but I immediately looked away.

Once my car was finished filling up, I put the pump back and closed the tank door.

I hopped back into my car and drove to the studio.

📍

I fixed my hair and reapplied my lip gloss before grabbing my purse and getting out of my truck.

I closed the door and hit the locks then headed into the restaurant.

There was a line at the door but since Sha'Rita had already told me she was here, I went to the table.

When she saw me coming she stood up.

"Heey."I smiled while hugging her.

"Hi beautiful."she smiled while hugging me back.

"How are you?"I asked her as I pulled my chair out and sat down.

"I'm blessed. How are you?"she nodded while sitting down herself.

"Im doing good and you look nice."

"Thanks so do you!! How are you liking Atlanta?"

"I haven't been out here long but I mean.. it's lit."

"I'm glad that you like it."

The waiter came up and took our orders already.

I did no playing and made sure that my baby and I would get full.

"You still live in Miami?"I asked her after an awkward moment of silence once the waiter left.

"Yes I do. I've remarried and I have a thriving business in retail. "she nodded slowly.

"That's good."

"Yeah are you still doing hair."she asked me.

"Yes I am, my best friend's and I have a salon in Buckhead."

"Really!? Do they do hair also?"

"No. Raven she's does lashes and facials and stuff. While Mariah is a nail tech."

"No make up artist?"

"No we're working on that."

"Oh okay."

"Mhm."

We stared at each other before she placed her hand on mine.

"Look Shay, I know it may seem like it but I never had any ill will towards you. You're my daughter Shay, my only child. Although I did neglect you and made you feel less of my child, I've always loved you no matter what. I- I understand why you felt it was okay to get with Von. I understand why you felt the reason to do anything you could to make me feel the way you felt all of those years. I admit, my actions were very much wrong and I'm sorry. At one point I did hold some hatred in my heart for you because I was confused as to why you were after my man but now I see. You have every right to feel the way you feel. I'm not upset anymore with either of you, I've found it in my heart to forgive you both. I've moved on, gotten into the word, and I'm on my way to better things, more blessings."she cried.

I grabbed her hand before wiping my tears.

"No I understand exactly where you're coming from but I- what I did wasn't right! Going behind your back fucking off with your husband, wasn't right at all. None of this is all of your fault and I apologize for blaming you. If I wanted a relationship with you so badly, I would have reached out long before I did. I have to admit though, I was scared but if I wouldn't have took that leap of faith then we wouldn't be here sitting before each other today discussing what we're discussing. I am sorry not only for placing the blame on you but also sorry for taking someone from you who you loved dearly. I- I'm sorry but I- I love Von and I'm in love with him. I can't take none of this shit back because I'm happy now."

"You should be La'Shay. You deserve the world and more. I'm glad that you're happy and have found happiness. There are so many things in this world that you can see and accomplish. I wish I would've been there to tell you this when you were younger, but I wasn't and I'm sorry babe. Like you said if past events wouldn't have happened then we wouldn't be here today. Shit everything happens for a reason. Now we can enjoy life and make up for the bad times, I love you girl."she said and we both stood up to hug each other.

"I love you too mama."

After our long ass hug, the waiter had came back with our food.

"Thank you so much."I said to him as he sat our food out in front of us.

"Now there is something that I wanted to ask you."she said and I smiled while eating a French fry.

"Shoot."

"On one of your Instagram post from a couple of days ago, you posted some pregnancy tests. Is my baby having a baby?"

"Yes."I nodded while smiling.

"Oooh my, look at God!"she said before she started crying.

I smiled as I looked at her.

"Words can't explain they way I feel right now, I'm just so happy. Do you mind if I go to the restroom, I'll be back?"she said while getting up.

"No. I'll be right here."I nodded.

As soon as she left, I said my grave and began eating.

I couldn't wait on her ass no more, I was hungry as fuck.

"Mama!!?"I yelled as I walked into the house.

"Poppa!?"I heard her yell as she walked down the hall into to foyer.

She ran up to me and jumped on me.

I wrapped my arms around her as she wrapped her arms around my neck.

"Hey baby, how was your day?"she asked me as she kissed on my cheek and neck.

"It was straight. How was yours?"

"It was amazing!"she smiled while looking at me.

"Tell me about it."I said as I walked to the couch and sat down.

"Well we're back on good terms now!"she smiled widely as she sat on my lap and I smiled.

"I'm glad, shit you look like a whole new person."I said as I took my backpack off.

"I feel like it too. It's like I just opened a brand new chapter in my life. You know how long I've been wanting to hear some type of encouraging words from my mother. Or even a fucking I love you. I'm just soo happy baby. And guess what!!? This shit finna put the icing on the cake when I tell you this."

"What?"I asked her while hugging her and kissing her neck.

"She's fucking married bae and she's on a whole ass spiritual journey. Like who would even fucking suspect that she'd be on a spiritual journey. I'm so fucking appalled."

"That's what's up."I said while kissing and licking from her ears to her chin to her neck then chest.

"Bae and then she— ba- are you even listening to me?"

"Yeah I'm listening ma."

"You're not but umm let's go to the movies, I wanna go to the movies."

"Right now?"I asked her as I rubbed her belly.

"Yes my nigga, right now."she climbed off of my lap.

I got up and smacked her ass, "Fuck you talking to?"

"Bae stop!! I just wanna go to the movies that's all!!"she yelled while running upstairs and I laughed as I followed her.

"I ain't got time to really chase yo ass right now but I'll catch up with you."

I waited on her ass to finish getting ready before we headed out to the movies.
