Beyoncé Checked Her Boobs Out Again In The Rearview Mirror. She Felt Like Too Much Cleavage Was Being Shown For A Funeral But It Was The Only Black She Had In Her Closet.
"Mommy Can I Get A Gum Please?" Blue Asked. "Me Too?" Rumi Asked.
"And A Third" Julez Said.
"Goddamn" Beyoncé Mumbled As She Rummaged Through Her Purse Retrieving The Gum Handing Three Slices To Them.
Shawn Held Out His Hand Real Low Making Her Smirk Before Handing Him A Gum As Well. "And No Popping Your Gum When We Get Inside" Beyoncé Said.
"That's The Whole Point Of Chewing Gum" Rumi Defended. "Says The One That Just Smacks The Entire Damn Time" Julez Said.
Rumi Stuck Out Her Tongue As They Slowly Pulled Into The Parking Lot Watching Various Of People Enter The Huge International Church. "You Good Baby?" Beyoncé Asked Rubbing His Thigh.
He Nodded His Head "You Want Me To Pray Maybe?"
"Nah I'm Good, Come On" He Said. They All Got Out The BMW X5. Rumi Reached Her Arms Up For Shawn To Pick Her Up Which He Did. Beyoncé Pulled Out Her Lent Roller Rolling Down Blue's Chloé Dress. "I Hate This Fabric" Beyoncé Mumbled.
Julez Scrolled Through His Phone "And Make Sure You Aren't On Your Phone When We Get In There Little Boy"
He Rolled His Eyes "Don't Be Rolling Your Eyes At My Mama" Rumi Defended.
"Shhh Shhh Let's Go" Shawn Said Still Holding Rumi On His Hip. Beyoncé Placed The Roller Back Into Her Berkin Bag As They Walked Into The Church. Most Eyes Were On Them As People Began To Whisper Many Of Them Haven't Seen Shawn Since He Was A Kid And Others Haven't Seen Him Since It Was Just Him And Beyoncé But Now Seeing That He Obviously Had His Own Family Everyone Was Kind Of Stunned. The Plus Were They Were All Beautiful. It Was Like Watching The First Family.
Shawn Locked Eyes With His Mother Who Was All The Way In The Front Talking To Someone. She Motioned For Him To Come But He Directed Everyone To Sit In The Last Row. "So You Don't Want To Sit With Your Family During This One Time?" Beyoncé Asked.
He Sighed "I Don't Want To Be Bothered With Them"
"I Know Baby, But Your Mother Needs You" Beyoncé Said. As Much As She Hated Attention On Herself It Wasn't About Her It Was About Him.
"Come On Y'all" He Said Making Everyone Get Up. "We Playing Musical Chairs Now?" Julez Asked As Beyoncé Hit Him In His Head. "Ow!" He Said As Blue Giggled.
They Walked Up Towards The Front Hearing The Whispers And Looks. Gloria Finished Her Conversation With The Mayor And Smiled Weakly At Them.
"My Grandbabies Are So Big!" Gloria Gushed.
The Kids Just Starred At Her Not Saying A Word. Rumi Turned Her Head Keeping It Close To Her Dads Neck As He Still Held Her In His Arms. "I'm Blue And That's My Little Sister Rumi And My Cousin Julez And My Mommy" Blue Introduced As Gloria Smiled.
"I Remember When You Were Just A Baby" She Said.
"You Do?" Blue Asked. "Yup Up Until You Were Two Years Old" Gloria Said.
Blue Looked Up At Beyoncé As She Nodded Her Head. "Your Cousins Are Right Over There" Gloria Said As Blue Sat Next To Them With Julez.
"She's Gotten So Big...Their All Beautiful" Gloria Said. Shawn Tried To Place Rumi Down But She Gripped Him Tighter. She Was In A New Environment And Didn't Trust Anybody Else.
"Beyoncé It Is Good To See You...You Look Beautiful" She Said Looking At Her Boobs. "Likewise" Beyoncé Simply Stated.
"Thank You Guys For Coming...I Really Appreciate It" Gloria Said. The Pastor Walked Onto The Stage.
"We Will Talk Afterwards" She Said With A Weak Smile. The Couple Took Their Seats Next To The Kids. "I'm Not Talking To Her Afterwards" Shawn Mumbled.
Beyoncé Tapped Her Hand Against His Thigh. While Rumi Sat On His Other Thigh Resting Her Head On His Chest.
Halfway Through The Service Rumi Ended Up Falling Asleep. Beyoncé Even Dozed Off A Little Until Blue Came To Sit On Her Lap Falling Asleep Herself. Both Girls Have Never Been To A Funeral, It Ended Up Being Real Draining For Them.
Once It Was Over They Snuck Out Heading For The BMW But Of Course Chantel And Nelson Walking Up To Them As Beyoncé Handed Blue To Julez While Shawn Stood On The Other Side Buckling Rumi In.
"Longtime No See" Nelson Smiled As Julez Got In The Car. "Why Y'all Dipping Out? We're Going To The Country Club To Have Drinks And Food" Chantel Said.
Shawn Walked Around The Car Next To Beyoncé "We Just Planned To Come To The Funeral" He Said.
"I Should've Known...Always Selfish. Daddy Is Dead And You Still Acting Like A Immature Prick" Chantel Snapped.
"It's More Than That, You Don't Even Know" He Said As Nelson Sighed. "This Is Like Your Fifth Time Disappearing And I Had To Hear From Mom That You Have Kids?" Nelson Asked.
"Y'all Have Kids?" Chantel Asked Looking At Beyoncé. "Two...Blue And Rumi" She Answered.
Chantel Nodded Her Head "We Gotta Go-"
"We Will Be There, Send Me The Address" Beyoncé Said Before Hopping In The Car.
Nelson Nodded His Head "I Told You, I've Always Liked Her...So Badass"
Shawn Ignored Him As He Got Into The Car "I Told You I'll Do The Funeral And That's It"
"Be With Your Family And The Kids Get To Meet Your Side" Beyoncé Said. "Their Tired...Look At Them" He Said.
"And Once They Get Up They Will Be Full Of Energy"
He Shook His Head As Beyoncé Airdropped The Address As They Made Their Way To The Place. After A Few Hours Of The Kids Playing With Their Cousins And Eating While Shawn Talked To Some People He Hadn't Seen In So Long, Aside His Wife. Towards The End As They Packed Up Their Car "It Was So Good To See You All And My Big Grandbabies" She Said Softly.
Beyoncé Smiled Weakly "They Have Plenty Of Questions...Some For You Too"
Gloria Nodded "I Am Sorry How Things Ended The Last Time I Was Around You Guys...With Your Dad Dying It Made Me Realized Life Is Too Short So Please If You Would Let Me Be In The Girls Lives"
"That Would Be Something We Have To Think About...Did You Ever Tell Dad About That Random Dude?" Shawn Asked.
"Shawn" Beyoncé Said Softly.
"Nah Cause You Like To Realize Your Toxic Actions When Something Drastic Happens, Every Single Time" Shawn Said.
Gloria Nodded Her Head "Understood, I Won't Push The Issue...Will I At Least See You At The Reading Of The Will?"
"Me Only" He Said Walking To The Driver Side. Beyoncé Got Inside The Car "You Didn't Have To Act Like That" She Said.
"Man Whatever" He Mumbled As He Sped Off.
