"Mama you gone blow out your candle?"

Kemoni looked around at all of us recording her, smiling big for the cameras instead of looking at the cake

My babygirl was finally two and I think I've been emotional about it all day. While she continued to pose, sitting on the table beside the Mickey Mouse cake, Kentrell stood behind her to ensure that she wouldn't fall and I was busy recording with one hand while bouncing Nasir who was starting to not become a people person

"Come on Kemoni" I leaned over beside her and she looked at the cake before reaching for the candle then looked at Kentrell

"That mine?" She asked pointing to herself and he nodded

"Yeah, blow outcha candle"

Kemoni began smiling and reached over to the cake and attempted to blow out the candle. Thank god it was her own personal cake because she was letting out more spot than anything. Eventually I ended up helping her blow out the candle and everybody started clapping so she did the same

"Yayyyy" she yelled and then stop clapping long enough to stick her fingers into the cake and put them in her mouth before looking at Kentrell. She put her hand back into the cake and grabbed some of it before reaching it out to him

"Hmmm"

"Nah I'm good shawty" he told her with a laugh. Kemoni smiled then ate the cake, getting it all on her shirt

"You making a mess Moni" Micah told her and she frowned up her face at him

"No!"

"Leave my baby alone. Whatchu is? The cake patrol" Kentrell asked Micah and he started laughing while letting off a shrug

"Ma!" I called out while looking for my momma, finding her right beside me making a face

"The hell you had to be so loud for child. I'm right here"

"My bad. Can you go cut the other cake for them kids for me. I'm bout to go put him to sleep cause he gotta attitude problem" I referred to Nasir who was busy mugging everybody in his eyesight then let out a yawn

"Go ahead. I got it"

"Thank you" I thanked her before walking off down the hall towards Kentrell and I's bedroom, meeting Elena in the hall as she exited the bathroom

"You had to pee again?" I asked her with a laugh and she nodded

"This child is sitting on my bladder. She childish just like her damn daddy"

I laughed and shook my head while I walked into the room and she followed behind me, closing the door behind her

"You know what I've been meaning to ask you"

"What?"

"You and Kd.." I started while I laid Nasir back on a pillow, grabbing his bottle and gave it to him "so are y'all together again or what?"

"Nah. I honestly don't think we'll ever get back together again. I believe what we have now works for the both of us"

"And what's that cause one minute it seem like y'all together then I don't know"

"We're just co-parenting"

We both sat down on the bed causing Nasir to look at us but he went back to sucking his bottle

"That boy got mean as shit"

"Apparently all of Kentrell's kids hit that mean stage around 9 months. I had to bring him round here before he started being fussy and if he start crying Kemoni gone cry cause her brother crying. If she start Kaleb and Bryson gone start for no reason and Micah the little peace maker gone damn near stress himself out tryina get them quiet"
