The twin's birthdays came and went, they had a big party as they usually did. Jazmine's birthday is coming up. Since she's older, plus judging on her personality, we took it she may not want a party for her sweet 16. She let us know she just wanted a family dinner. Based off of that, we got a list of people together.
She sits in the passenger seat of the car as we're running errands together
"I want Auntie Ari, you and mom, and my siblings and if Kendrick can come that'd be good." She begins to list off. "And Kelly and grandpa."
"And Robyn?"
"I don't want that bit-- lady at my dinner." She shuts it down immediately.
Jazmine understandably has hard feelings towards Robyn due to the woman abandoning her. I'm gonna let her take her time and if she never forgives Robyn that's okay. Robyn fucked the kids over big time after Zahir was born. Jazmine would not stop referring to Robyn as a 'bitch'. It was to the point where she almost lived in the time out corner.
"Mama, I feel I deserve a cat because of the emotional distress you've caused me with that question."
"We'll think on it, baby."
We're getting her the cat. She's bombarded our phones with pictures of the cat in the shelter and we already put ourselves in the waitlist. Plus Jazmine is such an easy kid and does nothing wrong so she gets the cat.
It makes me sad knowing she's getting older. I mean who wants their daughter to grow up?
____________
It's July 10th, and thankfully her birthday falls on a Saturday this year. Beyoncé arrives a bit later to the dinner with the cat.
Bey and I got her some clothes from a wishlist that she wanted. I'm shocked and worried that she didn't pick much out this year. I mean a cat and it's supplies and $500 worth of clothes.
Zahir is with Bey and the girls are all with me. India sits in the front seat fidgeting with her hands and looking at me then at the road.
"Mama, watch the road."
"I am, pretty girl." I say to her and she smiles and looks away.
"I wanna sit next to-- next to Jazz."
"You can sit next to me."
"Yeah I want to."
Bryony adjusts her suit, we got the same one we got Zahir just a size down for her. She's got some cornrows with clear beads at the end. They go to about her shoulder blades. She's happy with her outfit because she picked it out and it's very her. Jazmine wears a long dress that's a mint color with jewelry and some hair that is white at the roots and black the rest of the way. India is wearing a dress as well, light purple in color and some box braids as she usually does.
I'm so happy with my beautiful family and girls. I feel so underdressed in a blouse and leather black pants and heels.
We arrive to Jazmine's restauraunt of choice. A seafood place. Don't ask me, ask her.
Ariana and Kendrick are here already, we greet them all and Jazmine gets her first few gifts.
"Where's my mom?" Jazmine asks.
I try to hide my smirk, "Zahir getting his suit back from the dry cleaners."
She shrugs and sits down. We go ahead and order drinks and wait a bit when Bey and our son finally arrive, scooting into their seats.
"Mama, I'm matching' with Bry." The two of them do a handshake and Bey and I shake our heads.
They're two peas in a pod.
"How's my D, doin'?" Bey greets India.
India just gives her a smile, "Good."
"Happy birthday, my Jazz." Beyoncé gets up to go and hug our Babygirl.
She's gotten so big and I hate it. --Well she's my height but still.
"Thank you, ma."
Beyoncé gives her a kiss on the cheek and exchanges some words with her privately.
"I love you so much."
"Me too."
Bey sits down. Right about now our orders are taken and everyone is talking around the table. Bey sneaks her hand under the table finding my hand and rubbing it with her thumb.
"We have such great kids."
India leans into me.
"Yes we're talking about chu, love."
She just smirks.
"C'mere. You tell your sister happy birthday?"
"Yeah."
______________
We get into the parking lot and Bey doesn't let Jazmine into the car she just pulls the cat out.
"Happy birthday the cat is from mama and I."
Jazmine's face takes a screenshot before she tumbles Beyoncé over to get the cat.
"Thank you, mommy oh my god!"
She screams so loud an older couple gives us a look.
"Is that the right cat? She was aggressive when I picked her up."
"You prolly cussed her out." Jazmine says through tears.
"You not wrong."
Jazmine sits on the ground and pets the grey cat and it lifts up it's tail and meows.
"Whatchu gone name it, Jazz?"
"Fe fe."
"I mean that's her cat." Beyoncé and I laugh. "Pose so mama can take your picture."
I take a picture and send it to Robyn. Robyn requested it. Robyn did in fact ask to see Jazmine and Bey and I were hesitant but gave her the benefit of the doubt. I mean she's clean and has gotten back into her business and went back to living with Ariana. Ariana says she's doing good.
"Thank you guys so much."
I tear up a bit.
"Gimme a hug. And make sure that fucka don't bite me."
She comes over and that cat has the nerve to hiss. I mean it's been at a shelter it's whole life I'm cutting it some slack.
Eventually it sniffs me and dips it's head for rubs. Maybe he was just scared of Beyoncé's cussing.
"Mama I think I wanna name it Muffin."
She's so happy with her kitty. I kiss her forehead and give her another hug.
"Take good care of her okay?"
"I will."
I don't doubt it.
We get in the car happily. I see Robyn responded with some heart emojis and smile emojis. As much as Jazmine pushes her away I feel like deep down inside Jazmine misses her.
We all split up into different cars, India and jazz going with Bey and the younger kids coming into the car with me.
"I'm tired, mama."
"Give me like 29 minutes to get home, bubba."
Shoulda known our black asses wasn't gonna leave that restaurant until 11pm.
