+Same day

"I'm ready to put him in real school but I'm so scared. I dont want them to take advantage of my baby." She explained looking over At Symere as he smiled sliding down the slide.

"He'll be straight. I know you just saying that cuz he's autistic and stuff but he's low functioning. Despite him having that , he a firecracker. He stands up for himself. That's MY son. But if it makes you feel better, we can out him in a charter school or something." He explained.

She nodded. "Yeah sum private or something like that. I'm not just worried because he's autistic but also because he...he's kinda bad. Like he might get himself into serious trouble or hang with the wrong crowd in school. You see how he be fighting his cousins and shit?" She spoke.

He sighed. "We gon handle that. He just a kid." He explained. She glanced at him. "I mean he's just a kid so we got time to fix it."

She nodded. She leaned back In the seat and he kissed her temple. "we make beautiful kids." He spoke. She chuckled. "we do " she agreed.

"Let's make some more."

"You going a lil far now." She mumbled as he ran over to the two. "mommy , daddy look what I found." He held up the furry worm.

Kennedy gasped as she leaned away and against Dominic's chest.

Dominic laughed. "Son , don't touch stuff like this. Just leave it alone." He took the worm from the boy and tossed it behind the bench they sat on.

"Isn't it poisonous?" Kennedy asked. "Nah he wasn't colorful so it's harmless." He explained.

"You got work tonight?" He asked. She shook her head no. "the other day I was giving an old man a dance and I think he actually came. Like 30 seconds until the dance and he holds my hips down and it honestly made me wanna quit." She spoke and Dominic laughed.

"I'm weak as fuck. You took that nigga for the ride of his life." He laughed as her stomach turned. "nothing funny." She spoke.

"Then quit. Just quit." He shrugged. "you gon dance for me how you did that old man?" He joked. She smacked her lips. "No."

"I'm ready to go. Symere." She called.

He turned to her and ran over. "come on. We're leaving." She grabbed his arm cuz he would attempt to run off again. He huffed and whined.

"Son , be quiet." Dominic stood up. He gathered her things and she stood up as well.

He wanted to cry as they walked off. He grew teary eyed as she picked him up.

"Aww what's wrong?" She asked as they reached Dominic's car.

"I want to play." A tear rolled down his cheek. "next time. Don't cry about it." She wiped his tears.

He sniffled laying his head on her shoulder.

She placed him in the backseat and buckled him in before hopping in the front with Dominic.

He drove home and arrived quickly.

Kennedy bathed Symere quickly because he was falling asleep. By the time she had taken him out of the tub , placed his boxers on , given him a cup of water and wrapped him in a blanket, he was falling asleep.

She kissed his cheek as she held him in her arms. She sat down on the floor of his bedroom while waiting on him to fall asleep completely.

Soon Dominic walked in the room. "he sleep?" He sat down next to her. "almost." She spoke.

"He's so cuteee." She cooed looking at her little boy. He chuckled. "yeah. I give all credit to myself." He spoke and she glanced at him.

"You lost your mind." She spoke although Symere did look like Dominic.

Dominic kissed his son's forehead before Kennedy stood up and placed him in his bed. He shuffled around but quickly grew comfortable and pulled the blanket up on him. She placed his cup next to him in bed and she and Dominic walked out of the room.

She walked to his bedroom and spoke. "can you run my bath water." She spoke. "mhm." He nodded before walking to do so. She sat on his bed and began to take her socks off.
