Every since I got promoted I've been working crazy hours. I know Diamond and Jo need help sometimes but what would they do if I wasn't around. They have it down packed but everyone with a newborn needs some help.
I walked in the house to the smell of macaroni, fried chicken, collard greens, cornbread, and peach cobbler. "What the hell?" I walked in the kitchen to see Diamond finishing up and washing dishes at the same time while Nova was in her swing sound asleep. "Girl that food smell good, but you know this my kitchen." She smiled and nodded. "Yeah, I know but I wanted to show my appreciation for y'all helping me and Siah with everything." I walked up and hugged her so tight. "Its no problem. We'll do anything for y'all cause we love y'all and we love Nova. Now I got to taste test this food to see if I need to add your name with mine on that wall." I took a small bite of all the food. The flavors burst in my mouth. "Oh my living Jesus. Girl where did you learn to cook like this?" I tried to keep my voice down so I wouldn't wake Jah'Nova. "My grandmother, when I was younger she use to make the girls help in the kitchen. Teaching us how to multitask cooking and cleaning. After awhile we caught on and here's the results." I did a dance as I took another bite out of my chicken. "Girl you bout to be helping me out sometimes. Lawdd I didn't know you could throw down like this."
I turned around to see Josiah standing behind me. "Boy what?! Y'all gone kill me with these surprises." I rushed over to hug my lil brother. "When you start walking Jo?" He looked at Nova then smiled at Diamond. "Everyday y'all gone to work after Mr. Wall leave Diamond helps me walk around the house. Its not the best but its getting there." Tears ran down my face as my brother slowly made his way to his daughter. "Anything for that baby huh?" He smiled as he sat down then picked her up. "Damn right sis, excuse my language. I'm sorry but I got to get back right for my princess and my Queen... and you too." I couldn't help but stand there and admire the man he's becoming at such an early age. I know he's ready to work and I'm so proud of him but I have a surprise for him. He won't see it coming.
