Chapter 4

✨ Santania Pov ✨
It's around 8 o'clock
And Cortez come knocking
At my door with 4,sleeping
Kids and I take The girls
C'mon I say.
He followed me to
The bathroom so I can wash
Them up for bed.
They didn't wake
After they washed up
Cortez help get them dressed
And put them in the bed
What usually takes me
A hour to do only Took
30 mins to do With Cortez help.
All babies are in their beds
Sleep.
Nia I hear Cortez says
As we watch Dianah
Sleep.
Yes,i say look over at
Cortez.
Why did name them
Diana and Gracie ?
He ask in a soft tone.
Because when I use
to spinnanight at with you
Back when we were together
I would some times have late
Night talks with Mrs.Courtney
While you were sleeping
And your mom came up
And ms.Courtney said if she
Had a daughters of her own
She want to name her after your
Mom Diana Gracie and since I knew ms.
Courtney would prolly never
Have kids of her own
After dealing with you so
Since I knew My first child
was probably going
To be with you I name our first
Daughters Dianah or Gracie after their grandma
And Cj is named after you
Because every 1st son should be
Named after his father and
Santana of course named after
his mommy I say.
I never apologize for
Hurting you like I did
And I was wrong for
That he says.
It in the past really
I say.
