With Cheryl

Cheryl is in her backyard playing football with Dallas. Cheryl loves her son so much; she's learned so much about him. 

His favorite color is red (Of course that's nothing new), he loves watching Batwoman, his girl crush is Javicia Leslie. He's a Wildemoore shipper. Dallas loves football his favorite teams are the LA Rams, Tennessee Titans, and the Bengals, he loves to draw and paint, he loves R&B, and Hip-Hop, and his favorite food is soul food. 

Cheryl got excited when Dallas said he loves Football. 

"Mommy, do you play football at the school?" Dallas asked.

"Never really thought about it." Cheryl said. 

Dallas runs over to her and hugs her legs. "Is it too late to sign up?" Dallas asked.

"I don't think so." Cheryl picks him up.

"Will you try out? I wanna see you kick some ass." Dallas smiles.

"Dallas, who taught you that word?" Cheryl asked her son. 

"Not me!" Nana said from the kitchen. 

Cheryl walks into the kitchen. "Nana, you have a filthy mouth." Cheryl puts Dallas down. 

"So do you, but it wasn't me." Nana said. 

"Yes, it was Nana, remember you said that when you were watching Monday night Raw last week. You said I hope Bianca Belair kicks Becky's lynch's ass." Dallas said. 

"I knew I should've given you 100 bucks." Nana snaps her fingers. 

Cheryl shakes her head. "Nana come on now, he's only two, I don't need him learning that stuff." Cheryl groans.  

"Fine, I'm sorry." Nana Rose said with a pout. 

"Ready to go see Uncle Archie?" Cheryl asked him. 

Dallas nods. "Can we go by the store? Can I get some candy?" Dallas asked. 

"Sure bud. Go grab your bag and we can leave." Cheryl kisses his head.

Dallas goes into the living room to grab his bag.

"Thank god, Lori gave you full custody. I'm glad he's here Cheryl." Nana Rose said.

"Thanks Nana. I'm glad he's here too." Cheryl smiles. 

"Anything from Lori?" Nana Rose asked. 

"No, nothing. It's like she's off grid, whatever rehab place she checked into, must be super strict." Cheryl said leaning against the counter. 

"How does Toni feel about all of this?" Nana asked grabbing some water out of the fridge. 

"Toni is warming up to him, Dallas is happy he's going to be a big brother." Cheryl said. 

Nana Rose smiles. "Grab some money, if you need some." Nana said. 

"I'm good Nana. I got a huge paycheck from Fred Andrews today; I love banking with Chime." Cheryl said. 

"Oh, here." Nana hands Cheryl something.

"What's this?" Cheryl asked.

"A surprise. Now, go to the store." Nana kisses Cheryl's cheek. 

"How come you're not coming to Archie's house?" Cheryl asked.

"Casino night." Nana winks at her.

Cheryl chuckles. "Good luck." Cheryl said fist bumping Nana.
