The next afternoon Simoné and Rakeem planned to go out for lunch with laila at around two, the plan mostly was to wake laila up at eleven-forty in the morning, so he could do her hair, dress her and get her toddler tamed. they were deciding on 'fearings restaurant' for their meal.
rakeem's pov. i went over to laila's bedroom and slowly opened the door before gently sitting down on the empty part of her bed. "wake up baby girl, we're going out with mommy today!" i smiled as i lightly tapped her awake, at the least i could say i was pretty excited to go out with simoné. i missed her so much and was genuinely ready to be out with her alone with our baby girl, as a family.
after chunky shot up from bed, we exchanged hugs before i picked her up, taking her into the bathroom so we both could brush our teeth.
"alright baby open your tooth brush and squeeze some onto your tooth brush, k?" i picked up her tooth paste and loosened the lid a bit before giving it to her, i held her tooth brush out for her while i noticed she nodded in response.
i cheered as i noticed her squeeze a good amount, i smoothed her hair back as i gave a big smile and placed a kiss on her forehead. "i so smart!" she laughed while i turnt her towards the mirror, turning the sink on so she could wet her tooth brush.
"yes baby you're so smart, just like mommy." we both finished brushing our teeth and i picked her out a cute little outfit and gave her a classic pigtails doo. i let her play with her toys for a minute in my room while i got dressed, then we headed out.

it was about a ten minute drive, they got there pretty quick. he unbuckled her in her car seat and met simoné at front door, they walked pretty close to each other until they got inside. they sat across from each other, she looked at laila and smiled before ordering. she hyped her voice when she talked to laila and rakeem found it so so cute.
"so how is she?" simoné asked as she wiped her mouth, he shot her a warm look as he smiled at their baby girl. he happily sighed, "she's perfect, most giggly, cuddly and generous baby you'll ever meet i promise."
she leaned against the table, her hand placed under her chin, she smiled softly. "you've done such a good job rakeem, i couldn't imagine for her to have had any other daddy. she's everything i could imagine in a baby girl, i'm ready i promise. i wanna be there for her and i wanna reconnect." her eyes softened as she reached her hand out as she gave a genuine nod.
"this is our baby, and i wanna raise her together you know. our own little happy family." a tear dropped from her face as she looked over at their beautiful ketchup covered mouthed baby.
"but i have a girl, simoné." he frowned a bit as he was reminded, he didn't really love her. he knew noelle was just using him.
"oh yeah, that bi-" she shook her head to stop herself in her tracks, she let go of his hand and her smile slowly turn into a straight facial expression. he noticed, and felt horrible.
"so about custody and shit, you seem changed so i'm not gonna do all that extra shit to put u back in a bad state. because i truly have always and will always fucking love you, tell me whenever you wanna see her and you can see her." he smiled as he looked deep into her eyes, he knew this was the right thing so he did it.
"all of this you're doing for me, is just so amazing. no other nigga would treat me like this, right now i'd be getting treated like dog shit."
after this, they finished, paid and headed back to rakeem's house, luckily simoné took an uber to their house earlier so she just road home with them. they had fun listening to music on the car road home, they unlocked the door and walked in. simoné was holding a sleeping laila to her chest, noelle was chilling on her phone while on the couch.
she looked tight as fuck, as if she was waiting for someone. this felt hella off to simoné, she looked at rakeem as she raised an eyebrow.
"i'm not gon say shit.." she mumbled before going into her full sentence, "where her room at rakeem?" she asked in a 'bitch can you hear me' ass tone.
he thought for a second before answering "left to the double doored master bedroom" after she listened, she nodded and headed upstairs, she quickly stripped laila down to a simple shirt and socks before placing her in bed and kissing her head.
she silently closed the door and waited by the staircase to see if she said something, ofc she's being nosy.
she cropped down and slowed her breath down.
"RAKE-UM WHY WAS THAT SKANKY WHORE HOLDING MY CHILD, I THOUGHT SHE WAS GONE FOREVER. YOURE A REAL FUCK OVER, LAI-NUH PROBABLY HAS SOME DISEASE NOW WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT." noelle screamed as she flopped down onto the couch, hitting herself in the head with heavy face palms.
"she's her fucking mother noelle, if you keep acting like this i'm dead ass gonna break up with yo ignorant ass. my name is not 'rah-kum' and i sure as hell didn't name my daughter 'lai-nuh'. laila never has been and won't ever be your chi-" he spoke in a calm aggravated tone before noelle cut him off.
"like i said, keep my fucking child away from that slut." she stood up and crossed her arms before simoné quickly ran down stairs, shouting loudly at the disrespect bitch. "unt unt, no bitch like he fucking said laila has never and won't ever be your child how ever you try to put it, find yo fucking place before i beat that ass into it, point blank period." simoné got closer and louder with every word she spoke to noelle.
"you're a spoiled piece of shit who thinks if you bitch and moan then pop a lil ass you'll get whatever you want? nah baby that's not how it works, now get your nasty washed up ass outta here and don't come the fuck back." simoné continued.
"shutup you classless tramp." noelle said as she rolled her eyes and got up in simoné's face, she simply laughed and pushed her back.
" huh bitch? don't get all up in my fucking face and that's the one time imma say that to you, so get the fuck back before i set yo ass off." simoné put her hand in noelle's face, grabbing it before she could say anything and turning it away.
"my only fucking warning," simoné shook her head as she noticed noelle lifting her hand to her face.
she laughed before slapping her as hard as she could across the face and kicking her in the knee. "please always remember, you'll forever be a side chick thinking you're in the main chicks place." she laughed as she watched her groan in pain.
she rolled her eyes as she walked back upstairs to say her goodbyes for the day to laila, she creaked into the bedroom of hers to see her baby girl.
she walked in and kneeled down, placing a few kisses on the resting sweetheart. "goodnight baby, mama loves you i'll see you in the morning." she walked back down stairs and waved goodbye to rakeem before going home.
