I got up and walked downstairs. "Baby why you outta bed?" Quinn ask. "I been laying down all day." I whine. "You have thirteen stitches. Go lay down." He says standing up, Xavier is in his arms asleep. His arm hanging off Quinn's, mouth open and all. "Aw, look at my baby. Him so handsome." I say kissing Xavier's chubby cheeks. "Kayla, go lay the hell down." I pout and walk up the stairs going super slow. My back hurts, Xavier stretched me out, I got stitches everywhere. Quinn followed and lays with me. I take Xavier and rub through his little curls. "Mommy!" I hear Jaden and Jeremiah yell. They come in our room, climbing in bed. My boys.❤ "Hey." I kiss them both. "You have fun with Uncle Chris and Aunty Shai?" The boys nod and smile. "We go to jump houses." I nod and listen to Jeremiah stutter out small words. Jaden decided on speaking, "It was fun mommy." When they were done telling me their story, Quinn took them to take a bath. "Xavier, just me and you babes." He was still sleep. I smile and kiss his head, laying him on Quinn's now vacant pillow.

I woke up and Xavier was crying. Quinn was zoned out. I hate when this happens, every once and a while, Quinn zones out and returns to his unstable self. It hurts me to see him like this but it happens so often, I kinda just act like he is not there until he starts talking again. I grab Xavier, I tried to get him to stop, but I was failing. I decided to take his temperature because he felt weirdly warm. He was 102.6. I have to take him to the hospital, but I can't drive. I call Mya, "Quinn having one of his days, could you take me to the hospital for Xavier?" I ask. "Yeah. I'm on my way." When she showed up Xavier was screaming crying. I got the boys dressed, and told Quinn we were leaving. He decided on coming with me, I held Xavier, watching my little baby cry. He so perfect, even his cries are perfect.
"Okay, he's in the nursery, you guys can go home if you please?" I give Quinn a look, "Come on." He stands up. I followed Quinn out, "Baby are you okay?" I ask. "Yeah. I was jus kinda thinking hard this morning." I nod and follow him out the hospital.

I laid in bed, wrapped up in blankets with Quinns arms around me. The phone began ringing, I grab my cellphone. "Hello?" I answer sleepily. "This is Cynthia from Childrens Hospital. I was calling about Xavier Jones." I sit up, "This is his mother, whats going on?" I ask. "Well, um, ma'am your baby is gone." I look at Quinn, "Where is he!?" I growl. "We came back and he was gone." I get up and put on my clothes. I hang up and get Quinn.
"Where the fuck is my son!?" Quinn yells. I was just crying, "Sir calm down." A cop says, "The hell you mean calm down!? My son is gone! How does a baby get kidnapped from here!? All these got damn cameras!" He was pissed, Quinn grabs me, pulling me close. "Find my son. Tonight." I jus put my face in Quinn's chest, smelling his scent, bawling.

I stood in the doorway, watching Kayla hold Xavier, he was found with some crazy nurse on the subway. I felt myself shaking, "Quinn, go take your meds." Kayla says laying him in his crib. She must've noticed. I went to the bathroom, and took two pills, then went back and sat on the couch. Kayla sat next to me, "Look at me." I look in her eyes, "Do not forget those pills. Ever." I nod and look down at my phone.

"DADDY!" Jeremiah screams, I look at Kayla and get outta bed, going down to his room. "Yes?" I ask, noticing he was crying, I go closer and pick him up. "What's wrong?" I ask. He was crying so hard words wouldn't even come out his mouth. I look over at Jaden who was staring at us. He was smiling though, I give him a look. "KAYLA." She comes into the room, and takes Jeremiah. She walked out while I went over to Jaden. He was still smiling. "The hell you smiling for boy?" I ask. "I did it." I make a weird face, "Did what son?" He was actually making me nervous, did he do something to Jeremiah? "I hurt him." I grab him, making him scared. "Why?" I ask. "He told me to." Jaden says looking down. "Who is he?" Jaden looks up at me and smiles, "Devil." I let him go, "Lemme tell you something, I'ma fuck you up Jaden. Let's see how you feel about that." I put him on his feet, "Come on." He followed me down to my room. "What you do to Jeremiah?" I ask. "I-I..." He started stuttering before his face went blank and he stopped talking. "Jaden." I say looking at him. "JADEN!" I yell. He was jus staring off into space before he walked out. I grabbed him, "Jaden." I repeat for the third time. "What?" His voice, man is my kid possesed?
I put Jaden in a room by himself until tomorrow morning. Jeremiah clung onto Kayla all night. I couldnt sleep, so I stayed up, I went and checked on Jaden. He was staring at the wall, mumbling. "Jaden stop!" I yell. He looks at me, "No." I don't know what to do, I called Lani. "Gma Lani." I say when she answers. "Yeah?" She ask. "I think something wrong wit Jaden. He mustve scared Jeremiah, and now he talking about the devil told him to do it. I don't know what to do, he been mumbling to himself and shit. Like what?" I explain. "I'll be over in a second." I hang up and get Jaden. I took him downstairs and sat him on the couch.

"Kenzie oh my god." I groan picking her up, she was crying so hard it was silent. She stay falling, "Now what I tell you? See." I take her to the kitchen, this kid is fat, I gave her a popsicle and she got quiet. "Daddy can I have one?" Kari ask, "Yeah baby. Here." I give her a popsicle and shut the freezer. I sat both the girls down and turned on a movie. "I'm gonna take a shower. Kari make sure your sister doesn't fall okay?" She nods and puts her arm around Kenzie. I smile, "That's my girl." I kiss Kari's head and go to the bathroom. I sat on the toilet, texting waiting for the shower to warm up. I was texting Mya's friend she introduced me to. She cool I guess, I just want sex. Im not interested in relationships anymore. I just take care of my girls and work. Until I find somebody who I think is right. After I tried to commit suicide, I just stay to myself, if I need to stop letting people get to me honestly. I stayed on suicide watch for a few weeks, and now, Im home and I stay alone. Mya comes and sees me everyday, she makes sure I stay on track, Im fine, and I just got hired working at Audi, so I'ma happy man. Just looking for my girl, then everything will be okay. Right?

I sat with Hakeem, he was playing wit Hayden's toy. I had my arm across my stomach, I wish you could prevent from growing. I laugh a little at my thought, Keem looks back at me. "What's funny?" I giggle again, "Nothing. Just thinking." I pull out my phone and go onto Pinterest. I hear footsteps, I look and see Hayden coming into the living room. "Rawr." He says with a sleepy face. He walks to Keem and climbs into his lap. "You still tired? All yo do is sleep." Hakeem looks down at him. "I'll be right back." I tell Hakeem, I slip on my flip flops and head to the grocery store, not before picking up Bubba. "Hey." He says sitting in the seat, "Where the girls?" He sighs, "Wit Gma Lani." I nod and drive to Super H Mart. "How you doing?" I ask. "Good." He smiles genuinely. "Great. No bad thoughts right?" He nods, "Nope. Been happy honestly."

I fix Hakeems plate and Haydens. They sat at the table while I stood in the kitchen. I wasn't hungry, "Mya shouldn't you be eatting?" He ask. "Nah, Im not hungry." I tell him going to Haydens room, I grabbed clothes and went to the basement to put them into the washer. I turned and Hakeem was standing there. "What's wrong? You don't think you need to eat?" He puts his hands on my hips. "I'm fine Keem." I look up into his eyes, "If it wasn't for yo eyes, you wouldn't get away wit shit." I laugh and walk upstairs.

I walked up to Chris' condo door. I knock. Some girl opens the door, I furrow my eyebrows, she smiled, "Can I help you?" She ask. "Where is Chris?" I ask. "Who's asking?" She gets an attitude. "His babymom." I cross my arms, "Oh. You not supposed to be here so..." She shuts the door and locks it. I shake my head and sit on the steps. After a hour, this chick came out wit Kenzie on her hip. "Where you going wit my daughter?" I ask. "To pick up my man." She laughs and puts Kenzie in the back seat. "Look here bitch, I'll be back to claim my spot ya heard?" She laughs and nods. "Okay Loose Lindsey." She gets in the BMW, and speeds the hell off. I shake my head and walk to my car, I followed her for a while, then I realized she was taking me in circle. I shake my head and go home, little does she know, I put a tracker on the car. Bye Bye Christopher. I laugh out loud and head home. "Marcus!" I yell. "What girl?" He ask coming out the dining room. "I did it." He smiles and hugs my waist. "Ima get that nigga for fucking wit my dads money." I look at him, "That wasn't Bubba babe." I say looking at him. "It wasn't?" I shake my head, "Oh damn." I shake my head and walk off. I set him up all for the wrong reasons....

The next morning, I removed the tracker from Bubba's car and knocked on the door. He answers shirtless wit Kenzie. "What?" He growls, "I'm sorry. The plan is off, and I love you Chris. We actually had the wrong person." I laugh nervously. He mugs the fuck outta me, "Bye." He says. "Bye." I walk away, you think Ima be gone that easy? Yeet. I got his ass later. :)
