Chapter 6

Karin pov

"Mama, I need to talk to you about so legal stuff," I said as I sipped on the piping hot camomile tea she'd placed infront of me seconds before. Burning the tip of my tongue.
"You never patience.What you thinking about my love?" She asked, sitting across from me with a cup of her own.
"So you know I never really told y'all who pumpkin's father is right?" I started off as she nodded.
"Technically, I wasn't old enough to be having intercourse with him, BUT I lied and led him on," her face dropped as she now faced me.
"Karin Kashmir Jinsui. I not know what to say. Are you crazy girl?" She asked as I sighed knowing I deserved all of this and more.
"How old is this man Rin?" She asked shaking her head in a disappointed manner.
"He's twenty two mama. Two years older,"
"And how old does he think you are Karin,"
"Well he knows I'm twenty, I just didn't disclose my age when we....did it," I said as she sighed.
"Okay, so what's this legal advice you need?"
"I was trying to start the paper work so we can have joint custody of Laïa, but I didn't want them to do math or whatever and him get in trouble,"
"Oh well that wouldn't be an issue unless charges were brought up against him honey," I nodded as she blew air out and called Laïa into the kitchen.
"Pumpkin! Come sweet girl," she bounced in all happy with her curls all over the place.
"Why'd you take your ponytail out mami?" I questioned as I used the scrunchie on my wrist to put her hair up.
"It was too tight mommy. Oooh can I have some nana?" My mom laughed a bit before telling her no, and offering a juice box instead. She graciously accepted and sat in between my legs.
  "Mommy, can we go to Disney?" I laughed at her excitement.
"What made you ask that mami?"
"I saw it on YouTube!" I giggled and kissed her forehead.
"I'll talk to daddy about it pumpkin," she cheesed hard and knodded.
"Can I call my daddy, mommy?"
"Absolutely pumpkin. Here it's ringing baby," she grabbed the phone and walked  Away.
"Hey Princess," his voice faded out and my mom chuckled.
"Reminds me of you and dad. You have him wrapped around your little finger," I laughed cause it was so true.
"Where is daddy? I haven't seen him yet," I asked as I ate some of the food my mom cooked earlier.
"He at work today. He finally out of my hair!" She said making me laugh. My dad had worked from home for about ten years, so him going back in to work was a big adjustment.
"Well that's good. You get a nice break from everyone," she nodded as Laïa came back.
"Mommy can my daddy pick me up,"
"Sure baby. Let me see," I held my hand out for the phone and she passed it over.
"Hey, we're at my parent's house. I'm about to text you the address now," he nodded and hung up. He still had the most horrible attitude as if he really didn't believe I left to protect me and my baby. I shook off the bad energy, texting him the address.
"Alright pumpkin, go get your things together," she skipped off happily.
"He's coming here Rin?" I nodded, sipping my tea again, but slowly this time.
"Good, I'll meet him. Oh I need another plate. ," she said scrambling to get another plate down from the cabinet.
"Oh it's okay mommy, I don't think he'll be staying long," she waved me off, still grabbing the plate.
"Nonsense. He'll eat than he'll leave. I don't send kids away with an empty stomach, you know this my love," my mom was so nice, it worried me sometimes. She was always trying to feed or help someone.
"Okay mommy," I gave in. soon enough, He was FaceTiming me  me to let me know he was here.
"If you don't mind, my mom wanted to meet you, and if you don't wanna stay it's fine but she insisted on cooking for you," I said it's a slight chuckle. He chickened a bit before nodding.
"Alright, come let me in," I hung up and walked to the front door unlocking it and holding it open.
"Laïa, your daddy's here baby!" I called up. Her tiny feet ran across the floor boards,  wider my mom got on her, causing her to slow down. Gio walked in and nodded to me.
"What's up?" I gave him a small wave, and Laïa finally came.
"Daddy!" He smiled big at her as she jumped into his arms.
"Hey baby, what you been up to?" He asked as I closed the door and led them to the kitchen.
"I play with my toys and watch Paw Patrol," he was so 'excited' and into what she was saying, he didn't even notice my mom had walked back in.
"Mommy this is Giovanni, Gio, this is my mom," I introduced them.
"It's nice to meet you Mrs.Jinsui. Its nice to see where Rin and baby girl get they're beauty from," he complimented her, causing her to blush.
"Nice to meet you as well sweetheart. Come sit, food is just done," He nodded and sat down next to me.
"So Laïa wants to do Disney. Apparently she saw it on YouTube," I said laughing. He laughed looking at her.
"You wanna go to Disney Princess?" She nodded really big.
"Yes! Me and mommy, and daddy, and sissy!" I smiled at her excitement.
"Alright baby, we'll go sometime," he said as she cheered.
"Just let me know when you're free and we can figure out tickets and stuff," I told him and he nodded.
"Whenever you want. I'll make myself free, and don't worry bout the tickets," I nodded cause if he wanna he big baller than gone right ahead.
"Alright. I hope you like fusion," my mom said as she placed the plates in front of us. I damn near moaned at how good this food looked. I looked over and Gio and he was already eating.
"Daddy give me some!" Laïa demanded. I was about to get on her but he already beat me to it.
"Is that how you ask for something Alaïa?" He asked as she mumbled a no.
"Ask the right way,"
"Can I have some please," he nodded giving her some of the food. She ate it and eventually asked for more. Soon my mom sat down with us and they began having their own conversation. I sat back enjoying my food and his calmness because this was the first time in a long time we've been this normal around each other.
