Posted 2 hours ago.........

before bed routine. I used to hate my freckles 🤦‍♀️

cute!!! Freckles aren't anything to be ashamed of, sis. You look gorgeous!

Dakota set her things down before putting her son down on the bed, making sure he was comfortable while he slept peacefully.

"Cousin!!" A loud voice said, startling her.

Dakota looked up to see Samara walking up to her with her arms open for a hug.

She made a shushing sound with her mouth before turning around to embrace her younger cousin by two months.

"Sorry girl, this little man, huh?" Samara says, staring at Noah.

"Yup, this is my baby boy, so where is everyone else?" She asked.

"They are on their way; you know how late black people be." She says while messing with her hair.

"You right! Anyway, how is Georgia State?" Dakota asked.

"Girl, I took a gap year. I just couldn't. Those classes were too damn hard. You know I heard hell from my mama, right." She says with a light laugh.

"She used to get onto me about going to college, raising straight hell, but I know she chewed your ear out," Dakota said with a chuckle.

The two of them walked out of the guest bedroom, leaving the door closed while continuing to catch up with one another, and headed down the steps running into some family members and someone familiar.

"Hey, Dakota! How you been, niece?" Her uncle Kyon asked with an embracing hug.

"Good, what about yourself? Still been telling stories about you're old high school days." She says with a smile.

"Ha, Ha, very funny niece but I brought someone along to met the family." He says with a light chuckle.

"Mhmmm.....Anyway whose this lil friend you got?" Samara says while crossing her arms.

"Meet my son's friend Du-"He tried to say but the dreadheaded male stopped him in his tracks.

"Wassup Dakota, this yo family?" He said bringing her into a hug.

"Durk how you know my uncle?" She says letting go.

"I know his son folks dem helped wit my car an stuff nothin big." He says.

Dakota nodded her head in agreement before turning to look back at her cousin and uncle whom were soaking in whatever tea they could get.

"Cousin! You know Lil Durk! Now how come you ain't never told me none of this, I could've been backstage!" Samara says all overly excited.

She rolled her eyes setting them back on Durk trying to break the awkward silence between them all.

"Come on Samara let's check on the food I know your brother ain't watching that grill." Her uncle says walking away.

After they left Dakota and Durk started to catch up and talk.

"What u doin in ATL?" He asked.

"A family reunion thing. Where India?" She said.

"At home with Willow. I ain't know u was black folks u look mexican or some shit." He says taking a seat on the sectional.

"I'm mixed half black, Native American, Mexican and some other things. But this is my father's side of the family." She says with a smile.

Just then his phone rung looked like face time call, he answered an showed Dakota who was on the phone.

"Yeah, I got here not too long ago." She says messing with her hair.

"Aight folks!" Durk said.

The call ended and they continued to chop it up like usual until she went upstairs to check on her son, she walked into the room seeing he was wide away crying.

"Mommy's sorry for leaving you!" She said picking up him.

He calmed down a little holding onto her shirt looking down at her elephant necklace.

"You wanna go downstairs to meet the family huh. You want to met your cousins." She says while kissing his chubby cheeks.

Dakota walks out of the bedroom closing the door and heading down the steps with Noah in her arms just staring at her with his pacifier in his mouth.

She got the last step bumping into a crowd of people surrounding the living room the home wasn't a big house so everyone was just elbow to elbow.

"Where all these people come from shit." She says trying to get through the crowded room.

Dayvon looked around the crowded room of onlookers trying scope out Dakota but she looked to be nowhere in sight.

"When did you and my cousin met?" A dark skinned redhead woman asked.

"It ain't none of yo business." He replied.

Von ain't like how people always asked how they met this was one relationship he was trying to keep private an out the limelight of social media.

Just then he spotted Dakota with lil folks in her arms clinging onto her for life it looked like. He stood up making his way towards her through the crowd wrapping his arm around her shoulder.

"Who the fuck?" She said looking back.

"Folks it's just me!' He said with a smile.

"Hey Von!" She said happily.

Dakota gave him a kiss on the lips and a small long hug, before turning around fully to speak with him.

"Wassup folks u been good fa ya mama?" He says to Noah.

Noah made this face and tried to hit him guess he got a little attitude today.

"Noah we do not hit people, I know you still cranky from your nap." She says while looking at him sternly.

"Dakota he good, he just being a lil nigga." Von says.
