Excuse any mistakes 🤍

I thought about what Jada said, maybe I did hold Tyanna too close to me. But it's only because I have no one else.

"Momma?"

"Yea baby."

"You ok?"

"Ye— you shouldn't be up."

"Let's forget about me for a moment here. I heard you and Jada. Thank you for adhering to my call on not to tell her. Could you call her over here, I want to talk to both of you."

"Tap she might not— I'll call how about that?"

"Yea." Though she may have been my niece that I adopted as my daughter, there's been times where she's truly been my best friend.

She called Jada over and about 10 minutes she was here. Tap had us seated as if we were in a meeting.

"Hey baby." She smiled at her as she smiled back

"Hey beautiful."

"Hey momma." I had the same reaction as Jada when she spoke

"Hey my love."

"Jada, your words today not only cut my mother but me as well. How dare sit and stand to say she's not even your real daughter. Do you not know how it feels to not really have a mom. Someone who throw you away over drugs, matter fact. Do you know how it feels to be alone, to have no one, to be kidnapped by your biological mother to be beaten and your child to be murdered inside of you!? No! You don't! So don't you dare ever in your life disrespect my mother again. Jada read me and read me well; pardon my French momma, but if you ever in yo life try to check my mother on something I told her not to do that's your ass, disrespect her again, that's yo ass. Jada I'm not playing with you I'll lay hands on you quicker than she will and Ian talking bout in a holy way. You understand where I'm coming from and where I'm going." She wouldn't even look at Tap, she just nodded her head that's it that's all.

"Now momma, you love me, I love you. Thank you for protecting me, saving me. There's something I didn't tell you, during that time I was attacked by my birth mom I sustained an injury that will permanently be with me which is why I unknowingly had a seizure."

"You had a seizure?"

"Jada you was there when aunt Jacky said it and told momma to take me home."

"Ooooh."

"Yea."

"Now can I ask what is that she's not suppose to tell me."

"I'm pregnant. With twins."

"Humada who!?"

"How you know baby you're only a couple of weeks."

"Grandma revealed it to me in a dream."

"You seen her?"

"I did, you two look so much alike." I couldn't help but tear up.

"Wow."

"You ok momma Karen?" Jada asked me rubbing my back.

"Yea, I just miss her so much."

"Momma Karen, I want to apologize for earlier. I just get so worried about tap it drives me to anger sometimes. I love her so much, you know. She's everything to me, the first person to love me. I told you my story, and it's nothing to Tyanna's story. I just want to protect her at all cost, protect our kids at all cost, protect her mother for it is now my duty." She pulled something out her pocket, it was a charm bracelet.

"Tyanna got a ring, here's your charm bracelet. Please. You took me in and accepted me for I am and not look at my differences, for what I'm not, for what I lack. Thank you. To you Tap, thank you for loving me, teaching me how to love and the meaning behind. I had no one to love me except you and your family and I thank you all truly." I wiped the tear from her eye and hugged her

"Thank you, for the love you give Tap, the protection."

"You're welcome momma Karen."

"Tyanna come here." She came and sat herself on me.

"Now listen." We laughed as she sat on Jada's lap.

"Tyanna I'm sorry I babying you, it's just my sisters baby me. That's why I left, they basically took over after Dorinda spotted me and bishop about to kiss. I get it I'm the baby, I just wish they'd let go sometimes."

"Momma it's ok, I understand. I'm fine with it cause you get to spoil me and I can lay on you whenever."

"No you can't, you too big."

"Wow." We all laughed as finally got back on track.

"What we naming the kids."

"Well if it's two girls I was going for Grace and Valencia. A girl and a boy would go for Mattie and Mat. Now ima give you and Jada a chance to come up with some names just don't get to crazy."

"Okay okay." A knock came at the door and Tyanna peeped out the window.

"It's bishop."

"I love how he just shows up to my house when he want to." I went to the door as Jada and Tap went upstairs.

"What brings yo—." He pulled me by my waist and kissed me.

"We gotta talk...."
