Jamie P.O.V.

"Happy Birthday baby" I mumble while waking up Jayla. "Ma" Jayla mumbles while reaching up for me. I gasp. "Lala you just said your first word" I say while picking her up. I rush into my bedroom. "Jaden wake up" I yell while jumping on the bed. Jayla starts copying me and starts jumping on the bed also. "What the hell!" Jaden says while sitting up. "Jayla just said her first word" I say still jumping while holding Jayla's hand so she wouldn't fall off the bed. "What! You being serious? Babygirl said her first word!" Jaden shouts while getting up and jumping with us. After a while we all sit down on the bed and cetch our breath. "What time does the party start" I ask Jaden while looking in my draw. "Damn" I hear Jaden mumble. I stop looking in my draw then realized I only had on my underwear and a tank top. I push back in my draw and stand up straight. "Are you gonna answer the question?"I ask him while leaning on my vanity. "At 1:30" he mumbles. I look at him and raise my eyebrow. "Why you under the sheet?" I ask him. "Jamie.......you know why" he mumbles. I laugh. I pick up Jayla. " Lala tell your dad he needs to control his hormones" I say while walking to my bathroom. I sit Jayla on the counter. "Grab your toothbrush" I say to Jayla. She picks up her tinker bell tooth brush. I pick up her Dora toothpaste. I put the toothpaste paste on her tooth brush. "You want me to brush or you want to brush" I say. "Ma" she says while pointing at me. I laugh. I take the tooth brush from her. "Say AH" I mumble. "AAAAAAHHH" I laugh. Jayla is so silly. "Spit" I tell Jayla. She spits and sticks out her tongue. I brush her tongue then wash out her mouth. "Clean teeth" I say while smiling. She smiles and points to her teeth. I laugh. "Jayla how old are you today?" I say. She looks at her hand then puts up her middle finger. "Okay no Jayla that's not good, don't do that" I say while putting down her finger. She puts up her index finger. "Can you say one" I say. She stares at me and starts pulling her hair. The daycare Jayla first went to had a child with down syndrome and she used to pull her hair and hit herself. Jayla watched her and started doing it. So we recently took Jayla out of the daycare. "Stop pulling your hair" I mumble. "Want to put on your birthday clothes?" I ask Jayla while lifting her up from on the counter. She lays her head on my shoulder. "You just wanna go sleep huh" I mumble while walking into my bedroom. I rub Jayla's back. I lay down on the bed with Jayla ontop of me. "Gimme a kiss" Jaden mumbles. "Eww gross I don't know what hoes you been kissing" I mumble while screwing up my face. "I don't kiss my hoes, the only place they lips be is around my dick" he mumbles. I look at him with a straight face. This nigga just really said that. I side eye him. I nod my head. "Das coo" I say while playing with Jayla's curls. He chuckles. I side eye him again. I look down at Jayla and she's watching tv. "You think that shit is funny" I whisper so Jayla wouldn't hear. "Hell yeah" he mumbles. "I'm just finna ignore you" I mumble. I stand up and take Jayla to her room.

"Jayla keep still" I mumble. Jaden dumb ass gave Jayla that powdered candy sticks and now she doesn't want to keep still so I can do her hair. When I took Jayla shopping for her dress she didn't like anything I picked out. So we went to a store called "My Doggy and Me". Inside the store it had outfits for all ages that came with a matching outfit for your dog. We got a zebra print and pink tutu with a matching shirt and bow. It was extremely hard to find a dress that would fit Riley but we found one. "Jaden stop" I say while taking his hand out of my underwear for the fifth time today. "Jayla sit down" I say. She looks at me and sticks out her tongue and continues running around with Riley. "Jaden, chill out" I mumble while moving his hand off my breast. Jayla doesn't want me to do her hair. Jaden is trying to have sex with me. And I have yet to get dressed. I'm still in my underwear and a tank top. The door bell rings. "I got it" Jaden says while walking out Jayla's room. I finally cetch Jayla. I pick her up and walk downstairs with her in my arm. "Who was at the door" I ask Jaden while bending down to pick up one of Riley toys. I look up. "Oh my gosh, not you again" I mumble. It's Jadens stupid brother. "Why is he here" I ask Jaden. "He wanted to come tell Jayla happy birthday" Jaden says. "So he couldn't wait till the party" I mumble. "Why you acting like he do you something, yall know eachother" Jaden ask while looking at the both of us. I look at Andre and raise my eyebrow. "No" he mumbles while putting his hands in his pocket, trying to hide his erection. Jaden looks at Andre then at me. "Go put on some clothes" Jaden mumbles. I look at him confused then looked down and realized I didn't have on a pants. "Shit" I mumble. I start rushing upstairs. "Jamie do not run" Jaden says. I laugh then walk up the rest of the stairs. I put Jayla on the floor next to Riley. Riley starts following me to my dresser and Jayla starts following Riley. I turn around and look at the both off them. "Riley sit" I say. Riley sits down and so does Jayla. "Jayla I was talking to Riley" I say. She watches me then starts watching Riley. I turn around and Jayla starts drumming on my butt. She sees her daddy doing it so she thinks she can do it too. I shake my head. I grab some grey PINK sweat pants. I clip my hair up with a butterfly clip. I pick Jayla up and Riley and walk downstairs. I put Riley on the floor then Jayla. "Jayla go to your uncle" I mumble. She looks at him and rolls her eyes at him. "See what you did Jamie, since yo ass always rolling yo damn eyes Jayla thinks it's okay to do that" Jaden says shaking his head. I brush him off. "Jayla you can't roll your eyes at people, okay baby" I say while going down to her level so we were face to face. "Im finna take her until the party" Andre says. I sigh. I stand up and pick Jayla up. I look at Jaden then at Andre. I hand Jayla to Andre. She starts reaching for me. "Jayla you have to go with Uncle Dre until the party, okay?" I say trying my best not to cry. She starts crying. I look at Jaden with tears in my eyes. I don't know why it's so hard for me to let her go with him. She's went with Asia and Kay before and my parents and she never cries. Jaden grabs me and leaves me cry into his chest. Something isn't right. I just have this gut feeling that I shouldn't let her go. I hear the front door close. I could still hear Jayla crying from inside. "Why you crying?" Jaden ask me. "I don't know, I don't want her to go with him." I mumble. "Why not, she's went with him before" he says. "Well does she always cry like that?" I ask him while wiping my face. "No....." He mumbles. "Well look at is this way, what if the last time she went by him, he did something to her, or something happened, maybe that's why she's crying, cause she doesn't want to go with him and the same thing happens" I say while putting on my shoes. "So you seriously finna follow my brother and watch him until the party." Jaden says. "Hell yeah, he has my baby, fuck you mean" I mumble while walking into the game room. "You too over protective, but I'm finna come with you to show you that he ain't doing nothing" Jaden says. "Whatever" I mumble. I push the couch to the side. I lift up the piece of rug under it. I lift up the wood that's under it. I walk down the steps and grab my metal bat and my custom made pistol, I grab the silencer and shell catcher. Jaden walks down the stairs. "What the fuck!" Jaden yells. Only me, my mom, and dad knew about down here. "What?" I ask him. "Why the fuck you got all these guns down here." He says while touch some off my guns I have displayed on the wall. "Cause, guns are awesome" I say. "What else you got down here?" He mumbles. "Come on" I say while smiling and grabbing his hand. I lead him around the corner where my dad has a shooting range for me. "The fuck, babygirl you wild" Jaden says. "I'm even wilder in bed" I whisper in his ear then run around the corner and up the stairs. Jaden runs up the stairs. I put the wood flooring back down, then the carpet, and push the couch back over it. "You tell anyone, I'll cut your dick off" I say while pointing my finger in his face. He stares at me shocked. I giggle then peck his lips. "Love you" I mumble before skipping away. I get into my car. "Hurry up Jaden!" I yell. He comes out of the house and locks the door. I put the bat and the pistol in the back seat under the chair. Jaden gets into the passengers seat. "Buckle up" I mumble. He buckles up.
