Qirin kicked his feet as he sat in his high hair. He picked at the Frosted Cheerios that was laid out in front of him. He babbled clapping his hands along to the sounds of 'Yo Gabba Gabba'.

"Blu."He mimicked the cartoon.

I clapped my hands with him pinching his little cheeks. Qirin was so smart for his age he was almost 1.

"That's right sweetie Blue. Yay." He gave me that sweet smile showing his three bottom teeth.

Terrence was out at the car dealership trying to work something out about his car. My poor baby damn near had a heart attack.Terrence was so angry he went straight to the bedroom after getting Rome settled in one of the guest rooms.

My mom and dad understood and they went home afterwards.

I took Ms.Evelyn home too , the car ride to her house she was telling me how she hated when her sons fought. She was so distraught , no mother want to see their kids fighting like that. I felt like the whole night was my fault because it was my idea.

My shoulders slumped , so much for a big announcement.

"Juice mommy juice."Qirin called out. I blushed , Terrence got him in the habit of calling me mommy. I loved hearing him say it , he was going to be a great big brother.

I grabbed his Spider-Man sippy cup from the fridge filling it halfway with apple juice. He stretched his little arms out reaching for his cup.

Gosh he was so cute. I couldn't help but wonder where the hell was Mira. I didn't have a problem at all with Qirin being with us but as a mother , wouldn't you worry about your child? She basically dropped him off on our doorstep and bounced. I guess she couldn't take the heat. Oh well I'll step up.

I heard Rome feet dragging down the hallway before he entered the kitchen. He hopped back holding his hands out.

"I'm sorry Taraji I thought Terrence was down here."He said coming further into the kitchen.

"Your fine.. are you hungry?" I asked him from over my shoulder.

"Wassup lil man."He held out his huge fist making Q dap him up. He playfully pinched Q's cheeks coo'ing at him before turning his head looking at me.

"As a matter a fact..I'm starving."He said grabbing his stomach making a silly face. I chuckled walking over to the fridge to fix him a plate of the leftovers from lastnight.

"First Taraji I feel like I owe you an apology for coming in here like I did lastnight...I just want you to know that ain't me and I'm sorry."He said coming over to where I stood.

I placed his plate in the microwave. I felt his eyes staring at me a little too hard. I cleared my throat and glanced over at him. Yeah he was definitely checking me out , he quickly tried adverts his eyes to the ceiling before I caught him. These Howard's I swear.
