"How long he been sleep?" Christian asked as I lifted the camera off of Carson

"About an hour I think. He must've slept the whole time he was with momma and Mrs Angie yesterday because he was up all night"

"Where they went with him?"

"Shopping. I know they spent a lotta money though. All the stuff wasn't gonna fit over here so most of it still at y'all house"

"My momma think that her baby. She better back her ass up"

"She told you she kept him last weekend?"

"Yeah. She called me and kept sending me pictures. When I get back home she better hope I let her even look at his ass cause ima take his ass and he gone be under me"

"And all of y'all keep spoiling him. That's why this the only way he could go to sleep. If he laid on me"

"You'll be ight"

My phone vibrated and a message from Akira dropped on the screen

Best Friend
U on the phone with Christian?
Cause that dumb bitch not answering

I laughed while texting her back then clicked back onto the FaceTime call

"I think Akira wanna talk to you"

"Hell no. Fuck her nosey ass... that girl told y'all we fuck with each other?"

"Who? Your girlfriend India?"

Christian sucked his teeth and shook his head

"She better stop tellin people that shit. We be textin but it ain none serious"

"I don't think she said it was something serious but ain no tellin what going on in her head knowing how her psychotic ass sister acting"

"Lil ghetto nasty? What her name? Autumn? What she do?"

"I guess she don't like me because since she first met me all she do is roll her eyes, make rude comments and I ain do nothing to her. I really do think she want Tremaine cause I see how she look at him all the time"

"Or she probably feel intimidated by you"

"Autumn ain got NO reason whatsoever to be intimidated by me outta all people"

"Stop doing that shit"

"Doing what?"

"Discrediting yo self"

"Egypt. Momma said come eat" Sean told me as he walked into the room then hurried off right after

"I gotta go"

"Ight. Ima hit y'all up later"

"Okay"

I hung up the phone and slowly sat up trying not to wake Carson up but I still did. He slowly opened his eyes and put on the nastiest frown before letting out a loud scream

"Oh my gosh Carson. Not right now"

I grabbed his pacifier and tried to stick it in his mouth but he spit it out and continued to cry so I left the room and went down the hall to get to the kitchen where everybody was

"Why my nephew crying?" Evan asked with a mouthful of food causing me to roll my eyes

"Hand me my baby" my momma walked over to me and grabbed him "what yo momma did now?"

"I ain do nothing. I was just on the phone with Christian and when I hung up and got up, he woke up"

"Ooouuu ima tell Tremaine you on the phone with another boy" Sean did a evil smiled and my momma looked at him while going to grab Carson's bottle out the fridge

"Mind yo damn business. Always worried bout everybody else business. That ain got a damn thing to do witchu"

I smirked at sean while grabbing a plate and started fixing me something to eat

"Did Christian say when he was coming home?"

"Next weekend"

"He keeping Carson?"

"He wanna"

"But....?" She asked as she fed Carson

"He was over there last weekend"

"So? He was with his grandma. Not his daddy. Don't be selfish. It's his baby too"

"I can't help it"

"Well you gone have to help it. That's apart of coparenting. The boy is coming home from school. It's not like he sitting around here in town running the streets. If he want his son let him get him because when basketball season come he gone be too busy to come home often"

I grabbed a fork and sat down at the table beside Vaeh. She sniffed my shirt and frowned

"You smell like Carson after he throw up his milk"

"Because my son threw up on me. What else I'm supposed to smell like?"

Vaeh rolled her eyes and finished eating

"Boy you look like yo daddy" my momma told Carson which made sean look up at me

"Who Carson daddy? Tremaine or Akira brother?"

"SEAN!" My momma fussed and Vaeh shook her head

"That boy need a beating"

"I was just asking dang"

"That ain none of yo business stupid" Vaeh snapped back at him while I just quietly ate
