2 Years Later

We had been in our new spot for about a week & still was getting settled. I took it upon myself & Maurice had no other choice but to let me decorate Nevaeh's room. I wanted it to be so girly and so pink, since this was her first room in over a year. We stayed in a one bedroom apartment to save money to finally get this house, after spending most of both of our savings on a lavish wedding last spring. On top of having to spend more money on attire for Lex & Carl's wedding later that same year. This little three bedroom house was perfect for our little family & the neighborhood was a quiet suburb, perfect for raising a child.

"Yeah this pink is perfect. Ain't it Stinky?" I asked Nevaeh who sat on the floor playing with her toys & watching me ever so often. "Mommy should paint more rooms, I'm square business...Hell I could start a business" I bragged & laughed.

"Girl, you paint one room & think you're Basquiat or Picasso or somebody" Maurice joked as he stood in the doorway

"It does look good though, Love. You did your thing, I can't even lie" he said.

"Aww, thank you, Love" I replied as he came over to kiss me. I almost lost my balance on the ladder & our childish asses laughed while Vaeh came over looking concerned.

"Mommy ok?" she asked standing next to her daddy's leg peering up at me still standing on the ladder.

"Yes booger, mommy is fine" I said to her before cutting my eyes at Maurice who still was laughing as he picked her up. "At least I know SOMEBODY in this house cares about my ass" I smiled, turning around to add more paint on the heart stencil.

"I definitely care about your ass, I think I proved that last night" he winked at me and I tried my best to hold in my laugh before I chastised him for talking like that in front of the baby.

"In front of her, really?"

"She don't know what I'm talkin about...Besides, me loving your ass is how she got here" he continued & I playfully rolled my eyes.

"Maurice!" I said turning and looking at him. He smiled and looked down at Vaeh on his hip, who looked up at him and smiled back at him.

"Dada crazy" she said as she giggled and he looked offended, which had me cackling like a damn hyena. He squinted his eyes at me because he knew she got that from me.
