"MAMAAA!" Nasir yelled while slapping his hands down on the table. His face was covered with cereal and his hands were sticky

"I need you to stop making a mess" I grabbed one of his wipes and started wiping his face off but he frowned up and turned his head.

"Ma" Kemoni yelled while walking into the living room, dressed with a doll in her hand. Kentrell walked in a few seconds after her putting his shirt on

"Mama whatchu wanna eat?" He asked Kemoni while walking straight to the fridge not even looking in my direction, the same way it's been for the past few days.

"Chicken" she shrugged and he smacked his lips

"You ain gettin no chicken"

He grabbed a Mickey Mouse waffle out of the freezer and popped it in the toaster while she walked over to the table, crawling in her seat in her high chair beside me.

"Mama. My food!"

"I ain gotcha food Kemoni"

"That mine" she pointed at Nasir's bowl of cereal that was spilled all over his chair. He looked at her some type of way and started yelling

"Alright y'all two"

"Say Whatchu gettin into?" I could hear Kentrell ask somebody on the phone, causing me to look back at him but after a few seconds I went back to paying attention to Nasir and Kemoni. I picked up the mail on the table I had gotten earlier and opened the first envelope. It was a letter about the fine Kentrell had to pay for his possession charge so I sat it on the table for him to get

"I ain got shit to do. I'm bout to come through" he told whoever was on the phone and I rolled my eyes. After a while he came over to the table with kemoni's waffle in a plate and handed it to her while still talking to whoever it was and eventually he hung up

"That mine?" Kemoni asked him and he nodded while sitting beside her. He picked the paper up and read it while muttering something under his breath then threw it on the table

"Ain payin that shit"

"Why wouldn't you?" I spoke up and he seemed surprised that I said something to him. Nasir started to reach for me so I picked him up out of the seat and sat him on my lap "you must wanna go to jail again"

"Like you gone care"

I looked at Kentrell some type of way "if I ain care do you think I would've came and got you out in the middle of the night with TWO sleeping babies. You know damn well I care about you so why would you even open ya mouth to say that"

"Cause that's how I feel"

"So you feel like ion care? Kentrell I've cared about you since that first day you came to my house, laid on my lap and took a nap while I played in your hair. And I've been in love witchu since God knows how long. But my issue isn't that I don't care about you. We're just not happy"

Once I said that I wasn't happy, he looked at me like I shot him in the chest or something but I knew I had to quickly explain what I meant before he got defensive

"Fuck you mean-"

"Kentrell like I said I love you. I love our family and I wouldn't trade this for anything in the world. But I just feel like with so much that's been going on.. us being there for everybody and taking care of these kids, we don't have time for us nomore. I miss feeling loved, I wanna be held, I wanna hear how much I'm loved. But I don't. I love my friends and I'm in love with my babies but Kentrell... I just wanna have some alone time with the nigga I promised to spend forever with. Elena asked me when was the last time me and you actually had spent time alone and after some thinking, you know when that was?"

"Nah" he shook his head

"That's how long it's been Kentrell... since May when momma watched them for us. That's the last time we've been alone"

Kentrell nodded and by the look on his face I could tell he probably felt like I was saying it was his fault but it wasn't

"And please believe me, I'm not blaming you. We just got too caught up being parents, friends and whatever that we forget to make sure we straight" I pointed between us

"Why you ain say that from the beginning instead of pickin fights and shit all the time"

"I didn't realize it until Lena pointed it out Kentrell"

He looked at me for a minute before picking up his phone and dialed a number, calling somebody

"Ma." He greeted whoever while getting up and walked off down the hall

"My daddy" Kemoni started to frown and whine

"Don't start!" I scolded her which caused her face to straighten up real fast and she put her right finger in her mouth while stabbing her fork in her waffle

Nasir turned around on my lap to face me and stood up, slapping on my head while dancing and I sighed. I don't know if I pissed him off or what because honestly, I don't know what to expect from Kentrell anymore. After a while Kemoni actually finished eating her waffle so of course I cleaned up their mess while I sat them in the living room to watch tv but instead Nasir decided to start fucking with the stuff on the table while Kemoni tried to be his momma

"Stop SIIR" she fussed and I rolled my eyes, cleaning the plate. Nasir slammed his hands down on the table and when Kemoni grabbed his hand, he used the other one to slap her which caused her to start dramatically crying

"Oh my gosh y'all TWOOO!" I groaned, wiping my hands off and Kentrell came around the corner with the quickness

"The hell happened?"

Kemoni pointed to Nasir who was just watching Kemoni cry.

"Y'all needa get along"

I walked into the living room and picked Nasir up "come on so I can getchu dressed before I start popping that ass. You gettin bad boy"

"How bout you take yo ass on and get dressed. I got them" Kentrell told me while he grabbed Nasir from me

"How you gone..."

"You heard me"

I sighed and walked off, doing exactly what I was told. I picked out a simple outfit and went into the bathroom to take a shower which lasted about a good hour and got dressed which took almost another hour because I ended up changing my mind on the outfit I picked out. By the time I was in the bathroom finishing my face, Kentrell casually walked in and leaned against the sink beside me

"Where's Kemoni and Nasir? It's too quiet"

"Gone"

I quickly did a double take at him "gone?"

"For the rest of the week"

"Kent... Huh?"

"We ain spend time together with just us since May and it took somebody else to make us realize that"

I nodded and he continued talking

"And you know I love my kids but I be damned if I lose yo bipolar ass cause we too focused on them. So they gone for the rest of the week and we duckin off" Kentrell grabbed me and pulled me in front of him

"Now go pack yo shit and don't ask no questions"

"Well yessir" I scoffed before walking out of the bathroom
