Mariah POV:

Hi you guys! I missed y'all lol. Life has been AMAZIN'! 17 years of marriage and 18 years of bein' ta'getha is a long time fa me cuz I could neva be in a relationship longa than six months lol. I guess certain people are meant fa eachotha. And Aug and I are in dat category of certain people. Nun has changed. We're still happily married and childish as fuck! And freakier than eva! Body still on point! Abs fa days good Lord! But off dat subject cuz I will give details lol. When tha kids got olda we wanted a different life fa dem. Yea dey were born into a diffent life but dat don't mean shit. Thangs coulda went left. We didn't want'em ta follow in our foot steps. So as Aug said, he wanted ta take'em ta NOLA. And he did. And dey seen what we grew up around and dey basically were like 'yea not happenin'. So Lil Aug got into sports cuz Aug didn't want him ta be pulled into dat lifestyle. NeNe is on Drill Team, which I know she didn't mention, but chu know na. And Lani's only twelve, but she's into sum'n' too cuz I tol'em straight up I didn't want'em ta become a strippa. So she's into instruments. Aug taught ha how ta play guitar, piano, you name it...she plays it. So she's in band. Dis mornin' when Aug and I woke up, we do what we do and walk out tha room. We walk past Aug's room and I hear singin'. We look at each otha and I juss walk in lol

Me: "I didn't know you could sing!"

Lil Aug: "*laughs* You in shock?"

Me: "Yes! Why didn't you say anythang...?"

Lil Aug: "Ion know. Neva really thought bout it I guess..."

August: "I knew our genes would come in handy fa sum'n' otha than bein' ghetto as hell. Well...Lani's quiet. Which is weird cuz we so loud..."

Me: "*laughs* Juss ignore what yo daddy juss said, 'iight. But dat was really good! Lemme go cuz I will stand hea' all day sayin' dat ova and ova again"

August: "I'll be downstairs in a lil bit..."

I nod and walk out. As I'm goin' downstairs, I smell pasta and bread sticks. NeNe and Lani lol. So I jog downstairs. When I walk around tha corner, I hear NeNe and Lani! Why am I juss na findin' out bout dis talent?! I hear'em singin' my song Let Me Know dat I did wit future when she was lil. Lani wasn't born yet. But she catches on quick ta a song. Dey hittin' all these notes and what not. When tha song ended I cleared my throat and dey turned around

Nevaeh/Leilani: "Mornin' ma"

Me: "Mornin'. Question..."

Nevaeh/Leilani: "Wassup?"

Me: "Why didn't y'all tell me bout dis talent of yours. I knew you could dance but I didn't know any of y'all could sing..."

Nevaeh: "Aug can't dance. He sucks..."

Me: "*laughs* Good point..."

Leilani: "We juss neva brought it up..."

Me: "You juss wanted ta keep it ta yo'self?"

Nevaeh: "Pretty much..."

Me: "I undastand. I was tha same way. Kinda sorta. Only a few people knew. But all y'all sound good. But what I am worried bout is dis pasta and bread sticks..."

Dey laughed and made me a plate and handed it ta me wit orange juice. But chu know me. I gotta add my lil touch...

Me: "NeNe can you hand me my Vodka..."

She started laughin' and handed it ta me. I poured some in my glass and took a sip

Me: "Perfect!"

I handed it back and she put it in tha cabinet wit tha rest of tha alcohol and dey juss looked at me

Me: "What? Sum'n' on my face?"
