two weeks later

the fuck y'all get locked up Dayvon." I snapped in the phone finally asking him. "Fucking stupid. I do not hold niggas down in jail do I look like a prison guard to you and why am I just now getting to talk to you today."

"Mook stop playing bro." He snapped through the phone. "Is you riding for a nigga?"

I made a face.

"Ummm." I said trying not to laugh. "This is Asian time to shine, she wanna be your bitch so bad. She got it."

"Mookkkkk." Jada dragged out laughing. "You play too much."

boop boop boop.

"Now he calling me." Kayla said laughing and I shrugged.

"He move fast." Kirah said.

"How you cheat on me and want me to quote unquote ride for you?" I scoffed. "Go to hell with gasoline draws on, forreal."

"Dayvon she was just playing." Kayla said into the phone at the same time I said "No I wasn't."

"Unt." I said making a face as Journee passed gas on me. "Nasty."

"I love you my little tax bundle." I said rubbing my nose against hers making her smile.

"The wrong bitch got kids." Our friend Asia said. "Stop calling her that."

I waved Asia off putting Journee next to Jaylee' in her swing.

I finally decided to stop playing because Kayla said he was about to hang up. "Tell him I said his girls and I love his dumb ass."

My phone was buzzing and it was pictures from the twins photoshoot they had did.

"Yallllll." I cooed looking at the pictures. "I really had some pretty ass babies."

"Let me see." Kayla said coming over and looking at my phone. "Besides Von nose they're all you Mook. You spit them out."

"Booka don't call him I was just playing." Jada said looking up from her phone.

"Y'all I paid this nigga bond and he ain't even text me back." Asia blurted out and I tried to hold in my laugh. "I bet you he be locked back up tonight."

"And I thought Mook was dumb." Booka sighed. "I gotta get outta here."

Jaylee' made a sound and we all looked over to her laughing.

"See even my god daughter know that you dumb." Booka said.

"He said when he got out we was gone be together." She said sadly and I couldn't hold it in no more.

"I be forgetting you the youngest pooh you can't fall for the jail talk." I said laughing.

"Shiiiiiit." Booka said rubbing the back of his head. "I could've told you tha.. nevermind."

"Yeah the fuck right." Kirah said raising her eyebrow. "Who you been jail talking bitch? I wanna meet her."

"Here you go g." He said getting up. "Here the fuck you go, how imma jail talk somebody and I'm not even locked up?"

"Book when you get this smart bitch?" Jada said.

"Give me my grandbabies." My mama said as her and my step dad walked in.

"I'm taking everybody key at this point." I said getting up to hug them. "It's always the babies this, the babies that. It's never Mook check your cash app."

"I hate it here."

"You had your time girl hush." My mama said to go wash her hands.

"Don't look at me." Pops said. "I do what my woman says so I can get some pussy."

"You know what.." I said and went to sit down.

"Pops you a real nigga." Booka said going to dap him and Kirah glared at him.

"I can't do shit g." He mumbled going to sit back down.

"Pussy whipped." Jada mumbled.

"Sure in the fuck is." He snapped back.

Kirah sighed. "My god babies gone have some potty mouths on them just listen to y'all."

"Don't hate on me and my man little girl." My mama said popping back up and grabbing Journee'. "I heard what you said."

"Eric come grab Jaylee' so I can see her too."

"Boy you sholl is bright." Pops said. "I'm your pop pop little girl. I'm gone beat the lil niggas up for y'all."

I face palmed.

"Y'all are so ghetto."

"Mook I'm gone fuck you up." My mama snapped.

...

"Pop pop!" Bella yelled walking through my door with Lo. "Hey tt."

"He right there stop yelling." Dthang said plucking her forehead and ran before she could hit him back.

"Hey tt." Lo said waving with a cast on his arm

"Hey pooh." I said hugging her and Lo. "Lo how you always mess your arm up? Nigga stay with a cast on."

"I fell." He said shrugging.

"Mook you got some snacks?" Sky asked me. "Pop pop said ask you this ain't his house."

"In the kitchen in yall snack drawer pooh dont eat too much cause gran cooking." I said and all the kids went about their day.

My mama ran her mouth and invited everybody over here for no reason plus everybody wanted to see the babies and I wasn't having it just for the simple fact they're still fresh out, so they're upstairs with Von's mama.

"Mooooook." I heard somebody dragging out and I looked up to see Kailani, my cousin. "I missed you."

I instantly went and hugged her.m

"What y'all doing up here?" I asked and she rolled her eyes.

"Girl soon as Rah and them heard about Von and Durk they dragged my ass up here." She said. "Me and my pregnant ass would've been fine at home, no offense. Free them and all, but no."

"You pregnant again Kai?" I asked and she pouted. "How many months?"

"This nigga keep trapping me Mook." She shook her head. "4 months."

"I ain't doing shit, you be the one telling me get you pregnant." Rah said walking up with their daughter. "Hey Mook."

"I don't be meaning it literally stupid. It be the sex talk."

"Hey Rah." I said giving him a side hug. "Hey Ki."

"Hi Mook." She said waving.

"The kids in the backyard with them snacks." My mama said walking up and grabbing Ki then walking away, okay..

"Hey to you auntie!" Kai yelled. "It's always the kids. Never Kai you need a break from them demons."

"I hate it here." We said at the same time.

"Y'all really is cousins." Rah said looking between us.

...

"Y'all are not grown." I said looking at my mama dancing on my step dad.

"Girl." My mama said dancing with a wine cooler in one hand and using the other to rub on pops.

"Pops what I tell you about being on my mama like that?" Dthang said going over to separate them.

"Nigga this my woman."

"You such a mamas boy." I teased. "Titty baby."

"Leave my son alone Mook." My mama said and I rolled my eyes.

"You not too old to get your ass beat Blair."

"Now why you gotta say my middle name?" I said. "Putting my government out like I'm not most wanted."

"Girl go to hell." Booka said. "You ain't a prize g ain't nobody looking for you."

"Niggas be hating! Get off my sis back." Jada said.

"I miss my man." India pouted and I looked at her. "Mook you don't miss Von?"

"Who?" I said. "Oh. Sorry to that man."

"You ain't shit." Raheem said. "Knowing that's yo man."

"That nigga belong to the state of Illinois, not I."

"Mook g." Kirah said laughing. "You ain't got shit in your head."

"Shut up Rah cause she not wrong." My cousin Kaylee said. "We don't condone cheaters."

"I'm finna get me a new man." I said. "Twins need a step daddy and mama need money."

"Where did I go wrong with you?" My mama said shaking her head and I shrugged.

Pops shook his head walking away.

The kids were all knocked out and it turned into an "adult party." Kayla and Von's mama left a little while ago, it was a small crowd now.

"Y'all remember when Mook shaved her eyebrows." Booka said and I mugged him.

"Tell the story." Asia said and I spoke before Booka could.

"I was just turning 13. The last to hit the teens of the group, So Jakirah." I said putting emphasis on her name.

"Bitch do not blame me." She said and my mama popped her in the mouth. "Ouch. But continue."

"She was like Mook you'd be so cute if you do that brow slit thing." I scoffed. "So my slow behind not knowing how to do it ending up cutting my whole eyebrow off."

They were all laughing and that wasn't even the worst part.

"I'm not done." I spoke again. "So then Durk and Booka was like you might as well shave the other off you won't look right. So I'm walking around looking like a bald face alien for two months and them niggas just loved it."

"I still love you Bestfriend." Booka said and I mugged him.

"Mommy." I heard a voice and it was Willow.

"Why you not upstairs pooh?" India asked and she looked her and them came by me to lay with the twins on the couch.

"That girl love them babies." My mama said. "All the girls do they think the twins they little baby dolls."

My phone was buzzing and I already knew it was Von.

"Mook why you got the number saved under Inmate g?" Dthang said. "You kill me."

"You have a collect call from If you wish to accept press 1." The automatic voice thing said and I sucked my teeth pressing the number.

"Look here inmate you been in there a few days and you done lost them marbles."

"Where my kids at?" He asked ignoring what I said.

"On the couch in they lil pillows with Willow just looking at her." I said glancing over.

"Why you saying you getting my kids a step daddy?" He said. "I'll kill him and you know this Briann."

"How you even- Booka you talk too damn much." He said and ran by the babies before I could hit him.

"You have 5 minutes remaining."'

I made a face cause after he called Mici and his mama we'd usually have 30 minutes left, 20 if he called Kayla.

"Why we only got 5 minutes on the phone Dayvon?"

"Huh?" He said sounding stupid.

"You called that girl didn't you?" I asked and his silence proved my point. "Niggas tryna have they cake and eat it too, even in fucking jail."

"Mook-" He said and I cut him off.

"I'm straight. Only time you call is for my kids, not me."

I hung up the phone and refuse to let my tears fall cause I was that pissed.

"Mook never cries." Kirah tried to whisper. "I think she serious for once, I'm scared."

"I can hear you." I said wiping my eyes.

"Well I'm the only nigga you need baby sis." Dthang said plucking my forehead.

"Me too bitch." Booka yelled. "WE the only niggas she need."

"You're weird." I said.
