Deauni James
Working at Amazon was fucking terrible. I was working my ass off and being the best mom I could be. Both of my baby daddies both stepped up tremendously and I was appreciative because I needed the help and support. I was getting off of work when Kj texted my phone telling me he was coming over to the house. Things between him and I has been way better than before and I was loved that for us. I made my home and my mom was sitting with the twins in the living room. They were getting so big and I loved watching them grow.
I took a shower and by the time I got out and put on clothes, Kj said he was outside.

"Thanks mom for watching them, Ima pay you when I get paid this Friday" I told her
"Deauni I told you, you don't have to pay me for watching them. They my grand babies and I'm just doing you a favor."
"Thanks ma"
Kj knocked at the door and I went to open it for him. We hugged each other and I walked him to the living room.
"Hey Miss James" he said
"Hey Kj, how you doing?" She asked him
"I'm doing good, yourself?"
"I'm doing good honey but I'ma leave you two with these children. I'm gotta get ready."
"Where you going?" I asked her
"I gotta hot date, mind your business" she answered back
She left the living room and now it was just me,Kj and the twins.

"I missed you, I been working like crazy and it's killing me slowly" I said
"I missed you too and I told yo ass to quit but you want to be stubborn" he replied
"I can't Kj, how my kids gon eat? How I'm suppose to provide for them if I'm not working?"
"I told you I got you, you don't have to worry about that. I'll make sure both of them get what they need plus you say Dc been helping you out with Dallas so what's up?" He said
"No I can't do that, I'm their parent too. Speaking of Dc he suppose to get Dallas today. What time is it?" I asked Kj
"4:50" he answered
"Ugh, he's late. Let me call him" he didn't say anything back he just shook his head.
I called Dc and it went straight to voicemail, I was annoyed because what the hell? He was doing so good

"Everything good?" Kj asked me
"No, his phone going straight to voicemail" I responded
"Man fuck him, you knew he was unfit when he ain't come see his baby in the hospital for the first couple days" he said
"Okay Kj damn, we moved past that okay? I know he fucked up but that's still my son dad and I can't change that." I told him
"I know I'm sorry Dee, I just hate that Dallas gotta deal with that fuck shit"
I didn't say anything I just looked at the babies as they slept in their bassinet. Dc was so wishy washy, he only was a father when it was convenient for him.
"Deauni look at me" Kj said as he grabbed my chin
"I know shit fucked up right now but at the end of the day you always got me in your corner. I love Dallas like he my biological son, and you know this." He told me
"I know I just-" I was cut off by the knocking of the door

When I opened it, it was Dc dumbass standing there like he was innocent.
"Where the hell have you been?" I asked him
"Bruh I had a play to make and my phone died, my fault but where Dallas?" He asked
"He's sleeping in his bassinet with his sister, Dc don't let that happen again okay?"
"I got you" he walked pass me and went into the living room to get his son.

I closed the door and went upstairs to get Dallas baby bag full of his stuff.
"You just gon let Dallas go with this fuck nigga?" Kj asked me as I came back downstairs
"Kj calm do-" before I could finish my sentence Both Kj and Dc were bickering back and forth
"Guys can y'all stop? The babies are sleep" I told them

My tone was calm and low so they kept barking at each other. I was out of energy and I didn't feel like dealing with this right now.
"WHO YOU CALLING A FUCK NIGGA? BITCH BOY! AIN'T YOU THE SAME NIGGA WHO GOT HIS BITCH TOOK?" Dc yelled
"AIN'T YOU THE NIGGA WHO LEFT HIS SON ALONE FOR DAYS IN THE HOSPITAL!?" Kj yelled back
"guys stop!" Once again they ignored me
"PEION ASS NIGGA YOU DON'T KNOW SHIT!" Dc barked
"I BET I DO HOE ASS NIGGA! I TAKE CARE OF YO SEED BETTER THAN YOU EVER COULD!" that was the last straw for Dc because his fist went flying
"GUYS STOPPPP! STOP!" I was trying to break them up but it wasn't working.
The babies were crying and it was just too much going on all at once.
