Always n Forever

Natural

" I'm quickly falling and it feels natural"

Lani's POV

I turn over in bed and find Quincy's spot empty.

This what I get for being nice to a nigga.

I get up and walk to the living room. Sitting at the table is Quincy and Lay eating breakfast.

" Mommy! You're awake, daddy made breakfast because he said you were really tired." Lay said.

" Morning baby" I say as I kiss the top of her head. 

I catch Quincy smirking and I roll my eyes.

He not that bad......I guess. 

I make myself a plate and sit down.

I'm not gonna admit this but he did his shit on this breakfast.

" Is it good" Quincy ask with a smirk.

" Yea it's aight" I say with a shrug.

Quincy smacks his teeth and says something under his breath. 

" Wait mommy" Lay says as she looks at me then Quincy.

" Yes baby"  I ask.

" How come Daddy's here at OUR house instead of at his house?" She asks looking at both of us.

We both look at each other waiting for one and another to say something. Luckily for me my phone started to ring. I get up to answer it.

" Honey daddy will tell you" I say as I walk away.

I answer the phone and realize it's my job.

" Hi Ms.Parker I was calling because we're in disparate need for help today. Multiple nurses didn't show up today and we really need the help. Can you come in today for at least 2 hours?" My boss asks.

A.N ( I don't remember if I mentioned but she's a RN. That's why they moved back to California)

" Umm I don't know-"

" We'll pay extra, you make what 60 an hour, I'll bump it to 70 just please come in" She begs.

" Yea okay I'll be there soon." I tell her.

I walk back to Quincy and Lay and sit down.

" Okay baby I have to go into work. Who do you wanna stay with today? Your grandma? Your granddaddy?"

" She does have a dad" Quincy cuts in.

" You sure? You watched her last night and earlier that day." I tell him.

" It's fine. She's my daughter. Plus, you've raised her for how long by yourself, I got this." He tells me confidently.

" Okay then lemme go get dress." I say as I hop up.

" Okay Lay come here so I can do something to your hair!" I yell.

Quincy walks in my bathroom.

" You know I can just do it right?" He says.

I look at him weird and he rolls his eyes.

" Im serious, it can't be that hard. I've watched you many times before and oh yea I do my hair too." He tells me.

" Okay whatever Quincy. Don't fuck my child hair." I say.

" You mean OUR child." He corrects me.

I flick him off as I turn around and walk into my room.

I sit down at my vanity and put on some final touches.
