"The victim of that shooting had been now identified as 22 year old Shandell Williams" the lady on the news said and I shook my head. I know I didn't like the girl but damn, that's still crazy
I looked down at Hendrix, feeding him as I sat on the bed. Benji walked in the room and laid on the other side of the bed looking over at me
"You still feeding his fat ass?"
"Yeah. He bout done though" I answered, taking the bottle out of his mouth and wiped it before passing him to Benji so he could burp him while I sat the bottle down and fixed the tank top I wore "ion know if I can do this"
"Do what?"
"The breast pumping thing. That shit be hurting. His ass bout to just drink that formula cause this ain it"
I looked down at Hendrix while Benji burped him and laughed "he look so comfortable"
"His ass probably is"
Hendrix's whole body was so relaxed while Benji patted his back until he eventually burped. As Benji turned Hendrix to face him, his phone vibrated in his pocket so he used one hand to grab it out
"Who texting you?"
"Nunu. She asked how the baby was doing"
"Oh. Why she ain come to see him? She could've came"
Benji shrugged while he texted her back then sat the phone down before focusing on Hendrix again
"I needa change his outfit before my momma get home later. I know she gone say something about him having on the same clothes he had on earlier"
"You need to. He smell like he threw up"
"He did not too long ago"
"If you'on change my baby" Benji said as he got up with him and went to his dresser, going through his clothes
"I was feeding him. How was I gone change him?"
"Excuses, excuses"
Benji found another outfit for Hendrix and laid him on the end of the bed, changing his clothes. His phone lit up beside me and so I looked at it
"Nunu text you again"
"Text her back and tell her ima meet her later when I run home real quick"
I picked up his phone and started to text her back but shy started calling so I answered it and put the phone to my ear
"Whatchu want shy?"
He sucked his teeth "see you ain even gotta answer the phone rude witcho rude ass. Way Benji at?"
"Changing Hendrix. Hold on"
I passed the phone to Benji and he held it between his shoulder and ear while he finished changing Hendrix
"Wassup..."
While he talked to shy I got off of the bed and left the room with Hendrix's bottle and my phone. As I went downstairs my phone started ringing and I saw it was MJ calling so I answered it, walking to the kitchen as I made it downstairs
"Yes ma'am"
"Bitchhh... Whatchu doing?"
"About to wash this bottle. What's up?"
"I'm bout to come over there. But tell me you heard about shandell?"
"Yeah I just saw it on the news. That's wild"
"Forreal but that's what she get. She know bitches ain exempt from getting popped now look. And her brothers call they self going after everybody now. But ion understand why when they know she always stayed in some fuckin drama"
"They know that..I'm pretty sure of it. But they better not come this way cause Benji ain had shit to do with it"
"You already know they pointing the blame at him too but I already corrected some people. That man's been focusing on his family. But don't stress it though, how my nephew doing?"
"He been chill all day. It's just the nighttime when his ass wanna wake up 3 or 4 times crying. When I tell you I was tired this morning"
"Aweee.. I can't believe y'all really gotta baby now"
"Me either chile. Benji so in love though. He showed me this tattoo he got scheduled to get done later on when he leave"
"He ain coming back?"
"Girl yeah.. he just going to get that done then get some stuff from his house. This our first night home I wish he would leave me with this boy alone"
MJ started laughed as I finished cleaning the bottle and sat it on the drying rack my momma brought for his bottles
"Don't do my nephew"
"He doing himself"
"What time yall got home?"
"Early this morning. We left the hospital at like 10"
"Oh yeah. Yo momma bout to be all over him now that he home"
"I already know it. Keep texting me asking are we good"
"She tryina make sure y'all taking care of her baby"
"She better get out my face and work"
"Kay" Benji called my name as he walked in the kitchen with Hendrix "who you on the phone with?"
"MJ"
Benji sucked his teeth
"Ain she at school?"
"She on the way here" I told him while I dried my hands
"Kay I'll see you when I get to the house, Meechie black ass callin"
"Alright" I told her while laughing and hung up the phone before looking at Benji "what shy was calling you for?"
"He was tellin me bout some shit"
"About shandell getting killed?"
"Who told you?"
"MJ"
Benji shook his head "just don't worry bout that shit"
"Ima try not to but you know me"
"Yeah I know you but I ain worried about it so you'on need to be. If it ain bout Hendrix it don't matter right now. That's all yo ass need to worry bout"
I sighed and rubbed Hendrix back while he laid against Benji's chest as he held him
"Yo daddy makes me sick"
"I make you sick but you know wassup"
I sucked my teeth and he walked past going over to fridge
