Family

Dieciséis

Miami, Florida
9:30 A.M.
Two Days Later...

Farah and Treyton had come to realize that they didn't have a lot of alone time with Anovah since she was home with them. So, for the next couple of days, they would take some time off of work and just be with her; all of them together.

This morning Farah was downstairs fixing breakfast while Treyton and Novah were still in their room asleep. She would have woken them up, but she remembered that neither of them liked getting up before 10:00 A.M. willingly. So, she let them be for now.

Once she was finished, she set the table and Novah's high chair and she went upstairs to the room to wake them up. When she got to the door, she peeped in and saw Novah with her butt on top of Treyton's head, and Treyton had one leg hanging off the bed with his mouth wide open. Giggling, she took a picture before going over and shaking Novah awake.

"Get up, Peaches. C'mon, baby girl."

Whining, Novah started to stir before she slid down off Treyton's head laying her stomach on the bed.

"C'mon, baby girl. It's time to wake up."

After five more seconds, Novah looked up at Farah and smiled big. She reached out for her, before quickly dropping her arms and crawling over to Treyton. She pulled herself up on his chest and she lay her head on the side of his.

"Up up, dada. Up up."

Instead of answering her, he just rolled over completely and put both of his legs under the cover.

Sucking her teeth, Novah side eyed him and tried to roll her eyes. She sat on his side, being that she rolled off him when he rolled turned, and she started biting his ear. This made him jump, and he quickly but gently threw her off him.

"Why you so bad, girl?"

Giggling, Novah just reached up for Farah.

"Get up, boo. I made breakfast. Let's go!"

"I'm coming, bae. Just let me brush my teeth."

Nodding, Farah headed back downstairs with Novah on her hip. She went back in the kitchen and sat Novah in her high chair and she sat beside her. They waited a good three minutes for Treyton to come down. Once he did, they said grace and started eating.

"So, boo. I was thinking we could go get some snacks and watch movies all day. How that sound to you?"

"That's cool. You wanna go early or later on?"

"Probably later. I really don't feel like leaving out right now."

Nodding, Treyton went back to eating his food. Once it got silent, Novah started making her little random noises.

"What you talkin' 'bout, girl? Huh?"

"Shh mommy! Shh!"

"See no. I'll beat you up, Peaches!"

"No! Dada get you!"

"Don't bring him in this. He can't save you now."

"Dada! Her!"

"You better leave my baby alone, girl. Tell her to gone somewhere baby."

"BYE!"

Laughing at the stank look Farah was giving them, Novah fell back into her seat with her cup.

"We need to get some books or videos for her to start learning, boo. I want to start before she turn three."

"Yeah. We can get some stuff when we go out today. She getting better from what she picking up around here, though."

"Mhm. She improving a lot."

After that, the conversation died down and everybody finished eating. Treyton went to get Novah cleaned and Farah washed the dishes.

They decided that now was a good time to go out, so everybody got freshened up and left out. In the car, they played some old school music as well as a few kid's songs for Novah to sing along to.

Arriving at Target, they went to the DVD movies. Farah picked out The Best Man Holiday, Treyton picked out Juice and This Christmas, while Novah aimlessly chose Flushed Away, Finding Dory, and Shark Tales. After leaving Target, they went to Walmart. They got a variety of snacks; candy, chips, even ice creams. They also remembered to get some educational toys and DVD's for Novah.

When they were going over to self checkout, Idah was just walking in with a man that seemed oddly familiar. When she walked in, her eyes immediately landed on her brother and sister-in-law. Smirking, she tapped the man and they both headed in that direction.

"Well hey brother! What are you doing out of the house today?"

Sighing loudly, Treyton turned around to say something smart, but he stopped before he even started. Standing in front of him next to his sister was Howie Davis. And that made his entire mood switch just that fast.

"I'm minding my business wit' my family. What you need, bruh?"

"Oh nothing. I just wanted to introduce you to my boyfriend. This is Howie. Howie, this is my brother Treyton."

"Nice to see you again, Mr. and Mrs. Williams."

"Wish we could say the same. Come on, bae."

After getting the receipt, Treyton grabbed the bags in one hand and Farah's hand in the other while she held Novah. She noticed Howie, but she didn't feel the need to say anything to him.

Watching him walk away didn't sit too well with Idah. She just had to say something else.

"Don't be late to our little get together, brother! It's more people you need to meet!"

Without turning around, Treyton shot her a quick middle finger. Even though she had made him mad as hell, he wasn't going to let that ruin the plans with his family. But, we all know that's not the end of the bull crap.
