"Kamryn come here your daddy on the phone" I yelled upstairs as I was on FaceTime with Darius.

He smirked "Daddy huh. I like that word"

I laughed "I bet you like it more when Jamera calls you it" I rolled my eyes.

Kamryn came running down the stairs and I gave her the phone "Hey Daddy"

He smiled "Hey daddy's baby. What are you doing?" He asked.

"Nothing" she smiled. "What are you doing?"

"Mhmmm I'm working. Borrring" he dragged out the last word.

I shook my head and laughed as I continued preparing dinner.

She made a face "Very booorrrinnng" she copied him.

"Y'all crazy" I shook my head.

"I miss you mooch" Darius made a sad face.

Kamryn made a sad face "I miss you too daddy"

"I gotta go baby. I love yooouu"

"I looovveee you too daddy. Muah" she smiled and kissed the screen.

He laughed and kissed it back. He hung up the phone and she handed it back to me. I finished making dinner and we sat at the table and ate.

"You know we're going to go see your daddy's family this weekend" I told Kam as we ate.

"Really. Is daddy family nice or mean" she asked.

I thought "uhh most are nice baby. Don't worry" I stuttered, after remembering Darius older sister Danielle. Danielle never liked me, and it didn't make it any better after I broke her baby brothers heart.

There was a bang on my door, I walked to the door and saw it was Danielle. I opened the door "Danielle what are you doing here"

"Come on outside" she waved her hands.

"Why" I made a face.

"Just come." I looked outside and saw she had ride waiting for her after she was done doing whatever she was doing.

"Hell no. I'm not outside with your crazy ass" I tried closin my door.

"Bitch you ain't gonna just break my brother heart and think shit sweet." She swung at me.

I tackled her to the ground "Bitch. You not bout to come in my crib and fuck shit up"

Whoever was in her ride came running "Aye aye break the shit up"

We were still wrestling on the floor, pulling eachother hair, kicking and punching each other

"Danielle let her go right now" he screamed. He finally made her let go and she was kicking in his arms.

"Dumb hoe. Don't think the shit over. Imma whoop your ass again just wait" she screamed.

I adjusted my clothes and hair "You dumb classless ass bitch. I'm ready whenever wassup" I threw my hands up and screamed back.

She chuckled "Okay hoe" she got into the car. I flipped her off as they drove off.

I hadn't seen or talked to her after that incident. There were rumors that she planned on fighting me again. Mind you this girl was 21 and I was about 16 at the time. She needed to find something better to do with her time, then fight her brother ex-girlfriend.

Was I worried about seeing her this weekend, kind of but not really. If she tried swinging on me I was gonna fight her. I can already hear Darius mouth now "don't be fighting in front of my family and Kamryn. That's mad childish." His judgmental ass. I rolled my eyes imagining him saying that very thing.

I always wondered if his sister ever told him about the fight. I'm 21 now making her 25 going on 26. I really hope she had grown up cause I have no problem fulfilling my promise from 4 years ago.

***********

Darius, Kamryn and I were heading down to San Fransisco for his reunion. It was only a couple hours away from where we lived. Kamryn was sleep in the back. We decided to leave early just so we weren't late.

"Darius" I called his name, trying to speak over his loud music.

He just kept jamming out to Drake blasting through his car speakers.

"Darius" I said louder. Still didn't respond.

I hit his arm hard "Darius" I yelled.

"What Aaliyah damn, what you putting your hands on me for" he turned down the music.

I rolled my eyes "Well I called you like three times and you ain't respond. Anyways is your sister gonna be at this reunion" I asked harshly.

He chuckled "What the hell kind of question. Of course she is, that's my sister Aaliyah. Why"

I groaned "She never told you about our altercation years ago" I asked.

He shook his head abruptly "No what altercation? When?" He asked confusedly.

"Years ago after I broke up with you. She came to my house on some bullshit and we ended up fighting" I explained.

He laughed in disbelief "you lying"

"Why would I lie. Ask her yourself, I'm just saying if she come at me sideways don't expect me to just sit there" I said while scrolling on my phone.

He snatched his phone out my hand "Aaliyah nah you ain't gonna be fighting in front of my family and my child"

I snatched my phone back "Well you better control your sister cause if she swing I'm not going to just let her whoop my ass. No matter what you said"

He groaned and continued driving. Darius thinks he can control two grown women, he can barely control Jamera ass. I wouldn't be surprised if at this end of reunion, me and Danielle fought.

"Come on baby." I said as I picked up Kamryn out the car.

She rubbed her eyes and whined "Mommy I'm tired"

"I know baby. We're at the reunion though" I told her as I moved her hair.

She started crying "Kamryn I know your tired but don't start" I said firmly.

"Come here mooch" Darius took Kamryn out my arms.

We walked towards the park area. People were surrounded in shirts that read Boweman family reunion. We all decided to wear the shirts too.

"Darius?" A women said behind us.

We both turned around to see it was Darius mom "Momma" he smiled. He was always a mommas boy.

She came up to him and gave him a side hug "Hey baby."

She held her arms out "Hey Aaliyah" she smiled.

I hugged her returning the smile "hey mama Joyce"

"It's been a long time Aaliyah"

I shook my head "Yea I know. Way too long"

She molded her head agreeing "And this most be Kamryn" she turned to Kamryn.

"Yea this is Kamryn Ariel Boweman" Darius said poking Kamryn's side.

"She just woke up, she gonna be a little fussy for a little" I told Joyce noticing Kamryn not responding.

"She's beautiful Aaliyah" she touched my hand.

"Thank you" I smiled.

Darius made a face "Don't act like I didn't have any part in it" we both shook our head.

"Bubba" Darius sister screamed walking up to us.

I rolled my eyes as she pushed past me to give Darius a hug "Hey bubba I've missed you"

"I bet you did" I said quietly to myself.

"I missed you too Danny" he smiled.

She turned to me and said nothing at all. Honestly I could care less, it's not like I wanted to talk to her anyways.

"Awee Bubba Kamryns beautiful" she turned to a half awake Kamryn in Darius arms.

He smiled "Thanks Danny, she my queen" he looked down at Kamryn.

"So where's Jamera" Danielle asked while clapping her hands together and looking at me.

Darius cleared his throat "Umm she couldn't make it down this time. Plus I ain't want it to be awkward with Aaliyah and everything so she stayed back" he said in a questionable tone. Darius has been weird about the Jamera topic for the last couple of weeks.

"Awee that sucks, so you brought her instead" she pointed at me.

"Danny don't start please"

"Please." I added whole rolling my eyes. "Especially if you can't finish"

She chuckled "Girl don't act like I can't tear that ass up"

I laughed "Danielle how old are you now? Like 25 and you still haven't grown up what a shame" I shook my head.

"Y'all both need to stop, we in a public place with family all around. Control y'all selves" Darius said.

"You know what your right. And unlike some people I actually have a little class and respect for others". I smirked and walked away.

I walked away to an empty picnic table, and Darius followed. They had food all out and we hadn't eaten.

"Kami what you want" I asked Kamryn with two plates in my hand.

"Umm hotdog, beans and Mac and cheese." She said. "Oh and chips" she smiled.

"Okay baby." I walked over to the food line and made both me and Kamryn a plate.

After I was done making our plates I walked them back to the table. "Where my food at" Darius asked as I handed Kamryn her food.

I chuckled "Do I look like your bitch to you" I asked while pointing at myself.

He squeezed my thigh "Quit cussing in front of Kamryn before I whoop your ass"

I laughed "As you cuss dummy" I shoved him and sat down.

"So you really not gonna make me a plate?"

I shook my head "Does it look like my ass gonna get out this seat and make you plate. No playa this ain't that" I laughed.

He waved me off "Man Whateva. I'd do it for you" he laughed and got out the seat.

I shook my head and ate my food. I was eating my food peacefully when Danielle walked to the table. I don't know what's the dumb hoe problem.

"Kamryn why don't you play with your cousins and grandma" Danielle suggested.

"Can I mommy" she asked. I smiled "go ahead baby"

Kamryn ran off to go play with the other kids. While Danielle invited herself to sit at my table.

"So Aaliyah" she smirked. I rolled my eyes "So Danielle" I copied her tone.

She put her hands on top of the table forcefully "I feel like I should just get the ass beating over with" I chuckled and backed up.

"Girl stop with the threats" I put my hands of top of the table "you feeling froggy hoe leap"

Just with that statement she reached across the table and tried to snatch me by my hair I dodged and pulled her hair. We got up front he table with my hand still gripping her hair and continuously swinging on eachother.

After a couple minutes I saw people circling around us. I saw Darius come running up as I got on top of Danielle and was swinging on her. Darius snatched me off of her.

She got up and tried to swing again but someone blocked her. I laughed and sticked me tongue out "Haha you mad. I told you I stayed ready" I screamed as Darius carried me.

Danielle was fixing her hair while screaming "Stupid bitch that's why my brother will never want your hoe ass. You dirty ass hoe"

I laughed "I don't want your brother. Grow up you stupid hoe. You four years older than me and still have no home training. Get a job hoe"

"Find a career you stupid bitch, other than being a stripper" she cuffed her hands around her mouth.

"I have a career and I make more than you ever will you broke hoe." Darius finally separated us and put me down.

"Are you serious" Darius said angrily.

"Fuck you mean are you serious. I told you what was gonna happen if your sister got outta line."

"I asked you to do one thing Aaliyah damn. Why couldn't you listen"

I scuffed "Are you really blaming this on me. Your sister is the one that came up to me. I honestly can't believe you. I defended myself"

He shook his head "Bro your mad embarrassing, I can't believe I have to go around to my family and say yup that's the mother of my child the one fucking fighting"

I stared at him with tears forming. "If your so embarrassed of me Darius I'll leave. I'll find a way back home and you can keep Kami and bring her back tomorrow" I tried walking away.

"Aaliyah" Is all he said as he had a hold on my arm. "Aaliyah what" I crossed my arms. He just stood there no saying anything. "Fuck you Darius, and your ratchet ass sister" I snatched my arm and walked away.
