The Tiktoker Life

He changed my life.

Dixie: Where's your dad?

Dash: He went away and mommy said he's not gonna be back for awhile. He's in Australia.

Dixie: Oh. What does he do?

Dash: He takes pictures for National Geographic.

Dixie: Well he'll be back soon. I promise. I know it might be hard when your parents leave because mine did that and they always came back....

Dash: *he hugs her* Can you stay with me?

Dixie: What do you mean?

Dixie: My mom. She goes away a lot and doesn't get good babysitters. You are my favorite...

Dixie: What do you mean she goes away a lot?

Dash: She's always out with her boyfriend and she gets babysitters all the time!

Dixie: Oh y-your parents aren't married?

Dash: No. I go to my dads a lot when he's here.

Dixie: She hurts you?

Dash: No. I don't think she loves me.

Dixie: Well she loves you Dash. But why do you think that?

Dash: She's always taking up her time with Amari. She doesn't have time for me anymore..

Dixie: I have a little sister. I didn't feel very loved when she was born. I learned that babies are a lot of work. I'm having a baby and I was scared but my friend told me to come watch you and your brother. I feel better now about having a baby.

*Amari starts crying*

Dixie: Come on. I gotta get Amari.

Dash: Ok..

*they go to Amari's room*

Amari: M-ma-ma.

Dixie: D-does he talk?

Dash: No!

Dixie: He just said mama!

Dash: Really?!

*Dixie picks him up*
Dixie: You talk now? I'm not even your mom!

Dash: We have cameras! Our mom can see!

Dixie: Let's go downstairs and make dinner. It's almost bedtime.

Dash: Okkkkk....

Dixie: Thanks.

*they go downstairs and Dixie makes Dash mac and cheese and Amari has baby food and they're sitting at the table*

Dash: Dixie?

Dixie: *feeding Amari* What's up Dash?

Dash: When are you gonna have your baby?

Dixie: Ummm maybe like March or April.

Dash: When's your birthday?

Dixie: August 12th.

Dash: Oh mine is August 12th to!

Dixie: Really?! That's so cool! We can be twins now!

Dash: And when you have your baby can I come visit?

Dixie: Yessss! I'm gonna come babysit you more.

Dash: What's the babies name?

Dixie: Ummm. I don't know yet.. I'll have to talk to my boyfriend about that.

Dash: You have a boyfriend?!

Dixie: How do you think i'm having a- never mind. But yeah. His name is Noah and I have a sister Charli and her twin is named Quinton and that's my brother too.

Dash: Look what time it is!

Dixie: *she looks at the time and it's 8:55* Sh*t! Your done right?!

Dash: Yeah. I'll go to bed!

Dixie: Thank you so much! I love you. I'll see you later maybe on Friday or Saturday!

Dash: Love you to! Goodnight. *he goes to sleep and Dixie puts Amari to sleep*

*Brittany comes through the door as Dixie comes downstairs crying softly*

Brittany: Hi! Why are you crying?

Dixie: Dash... He changed my life. I would've never kept this baby if it weren't for him. And Amari was perfect. He said mama. Dash said he doesn't talk.

Brittany: That's wonderful!

Dixie: Yeah.. Dash and me have the same birthday. And anytime you need a babysitter just call me. They can go over to my house or I can come here. And if your ok with it...
