It felt so good waking up in our new home. I wasn't able to hang I unpacked a couple boxes showered and was tapped out. I felt bad for leaving Ebony with the guys.

I woke up early to get started so I could have most of this stuff unpacked. I wouldn't be able to relax until everything was put away.

I let Zac sleep in I know he was up late trying to get a lot done.

I opened the blinds and soon as I did I seen Peggy Sue nosey ass all up in someone else's yard. It's too early for her to be in someone else business. If she knew what's best for her she would stay out my damn way. I was still pissed she asked was I carrying twins old hag

I don't care if she is my momma age I would dog walk her racist ass

I turned on some music so I could get in my groove. I was knocking it out then the doorbell rung

Who the hell is it no one knows where we live but Tony and Ebony. I looked out the peephole and it was my momma

How the hell did she know where we lived

I tried to be quiet maybe she didn't hear the music

Mona: Fatima I seen you through the window plus I can hear your heavy breathing

Fatima: Shit

I opened the door

Fatima: Good Morning ma how did you know where we lived

Mona: Dang you didn't want your mom to know where you lived

Fatima: Not yet

Mona: My future son in law gave it to me and don't be mad he slipped up and said ya'll were moving

Fatima: When did ya'll start talking

Mona: We've been talking for a minute I called him one day and I apologized for how I treated him. He keeps me updated since you hate me

Fatima: I don't hate you ma I just want you to be supportive without judging and putting your past hurt on me. I am your daughter your only child at that

Mona: It took me forever to understand how you felt but I now understand that I put you through hell. I wasn't there for you when you needed me the most. And I truly apologize Fatima. I know you may not believe me but I've been sick for some time now and it had made me an angry person. I know it's no excuse but I am getting therapy now.

Fatima: Ma why didn't you tell me

Mona: I know you think I be faking it to get your attention but I didn't want to get you down

Fatima: Your my mother I will always love you but

Mona: I know I have to earn your trust again and I am okay with doing that. I just want to be apart of my grandbabies life while I still have time

Fatima: What's wrong with you

Mona: They found a lump in my breast

Fatima: How bad is it

Mona: They caught it early so it's in the beginning stages I go next week to discuss Chemo .

Fatima: Please let me know what day and time I want to go with you

Mona looked surprised when Fatima said she wanted to go

Fatima hated her mother for so long but hearing this news made Fatima feel sad on the inside all this time lost because her mom could never see the pain she caused Fatima. Fatima just wanted her mother to see her as a daughter. Even though Fatima didn't fully trust her mother she wanted to be there for her during this process. She didn't want her mother to die
