Age : 19
Houston , Texas

"M-Mommmyyy." Raelyn cried clinging to my neck.

"It's okay baby." I sighed rubbing her ear and patting her back.

Somehow Raelyn got sick and she's been clingy and cranky every since her doctor's appointment.

She hasn't been eating or sleeping. I'm so tired because I've stayed up with her all the nights she couldn't sleep.

"You want some apple juice." I asked.

She shook her head and cried louder hugging my neck tightly.

"Ma you want me to get her?" Ja'Seem asked with tears in his eyes.

"No I got it baby, what's wrong?" I frowned.

"I hate seeing her in pain or crying." He sniffled wiping his face.

I pouted and bent down to his level. "It's okay bobo, she'll be better soon."

He wiped his face and nodded his head.

"You wanna do me a favor?" I asked.

"Yes ma'am."

"You can go get her bath water ready and then when I put her down to go to sleep, we can play the game." I smiled.

"YES, I'm finna beat you." He grinned.

I chuckled. "Whatever, make sure it's not too hot or cold and add her bedtime bath wash, it's in the bathroom closet. "

"Yes ma'am." He nodded running upstairs.

I noticed that Raelyn's cries got lighter which made me glance down at her. She was slowly going to sleep making me sigh in relief.

Jamari went out with Omari, Pooda, and Drum so I wanted to spend some one-on-one time with Ja'Seem.

I carefully walked up the stairs and walked into the bathroom that Raelyn used.

Seem did a good job with the water. He even went to pick her a pajama onesie out with some socks.

I chuckled to myself and started removing all of Rae's clothes.

As soon as I put her in the water I started washing her up. She was sleep so I wanted to quickly get her in and out.

After about four good scrubs I took her out and dried her off. I moisturized her with cocoa butter and then put her sleeping clothes on.

I went to her room and as soon as I stepped in I heard her night lullabies playing and her humidifier was going.  Her LED lights were also changed to pink.

I smiled because I knew this was all of Ja'Seem's doing.

As soon as I laid Raelyn down she starting coughing.

"Mommy." She whined.

"I'm right here, go back to sleep mama." I whispered playing with her ear.

"Bless you baby."I pouted when she sneezed.

About 3 minutes later her soft snores filled through the room. I finally smiled because I was happy that she was finally getting some sleep.

I kissed her cheek. "I love you stink."

I turned her lullabies up a little louder. Walking out of her room, I quietly cracked her door.

I went to go clean the bathroom making sure to disinfect everything that we used.
