Honestly when I heard the doorbell I expected it to be Tye or Maine because they left their keys but I forgot they stayed at Twan and Keems with everyone else .
Instead the person there left me In shock , I couldn't believe my eyes , the person who appeared in front of me was really here .
The person
My momma
Actually no , this wasn't my momma ... This lady looked clean , looked healthy and looked stable.
It was like I knew who it was but at the same time I didn't no this person at all .
I always thought of what I would say to her when I seen her but in this moment I was speechless.
I could only stare in disbelief but she stood with the angelic smile she had before she was on drugs.
I didn't know whether to still be mad at her for everything or be happy she was here .
"Calvin baby , I know you're surprised but you've been standing there like that for about a good 5 minutes" she said with a little giggle at the end
I moved to the side allowing her to come in.
I walked back in to the kitchen turning off the fire and making plates
"Hungry ?" I asked my mom who was sitting at the island In the kitchen. I think she was staring at me thinking of how much I grown since the last time I seen her .
About how tall I've gotten and how I have facial hair now.
How I have tattoos and how my body is built now.
How then I was a boy and now I am a man.
"Sure" she said smirking still watching me , I made her and Jasmine a plate but I had now lost my appetite .
My stomach had so many emotions I couldn't eat .
"I'll be back" I said heading upstairs
"Baby wake up" I said whispering into jasmines ear . She sat up tired but beautiful with a smirk
"What Calvin" she said looking up
"Come downstairs , my mom just got here" I said still whispering
"Your mom ? I thought you said-" she was whispering now too
"She just showed up , clean up and come eat" I said before walking back down
"Sorry my girlfriend is upstairs" I said sitting at the island beside my mom
"Girlfriend ? You two serious Cali? " she asked calling me my old nickname
"Yeah , she pregnant too"
"Pregnant ? Boy you got it going on huh?" She asked smiling at me
"Yeah I guess" I said staring at her with a smirk . Her presence was now making me happy and nervous . I had so much to ask and say.
"Own house , own car , baby ... I'm proud of you baby"
I nodded
"I'm proud of you too , you're clean and you look very healthy and happy"
Why couldn't you have done this earlier though ?
"I had to get better for you and you're brother and for me too but mainly for yall"
"Have you spoken to Jamie ?"
"I went to your brother Jamie's dad house and seen him a couple times"
Jasmine then came downstairs
She sat at the island too across from me and my momma though
"What's your name sweetheart" momma asked
"Jasmine , it's so nice to meet you" she answered putting her hand over her stomach almost looking in pain
"You okay baby?" I asked getting nervous
"Mhm I'm only 7 months Calvin relax" she said reassuring me , knowing how I think
"The rest of the time will go by fast and in a hurry" my mom said eating
"Calvin it's a boy" Jasmine said smiling as she ate
A boy ? A little me ?
I smiled
"Wow just dropping stuff on me , huh ?" I said smiling harder
"You make him real happy , I can tell" my mom said looking at me again
"He makes me happy too" Jasmine added on
We talked a little more till Jasmine went back upstairs to sleep.
Me and my mom sat in the living room watching something random.
"I've seen Jaime a couple times but I couldn't come see you , not yet ... I couldn't figure out exactly what to say to you " she looked nervous
I looked for words to say "You picked the drugs over me and Jaime. Actually over me momma. You knew Jaime's dad would take care of him but you knew that I had nobody besides you"
I was beginning to feel pain in my chest . My anger for her was beginning to resurface
"You're right" she nodded as a tear fell "I tried it one time and got addicted but when you're on that stuff Cali , you aren't yourself , I'm so sorry"
"I was 9 years old being beaten in foster homes ! I had to get in the streets momma ! I sell drugs for a living ! I ain't have nothing to eat ! nowhere to sleep ! nobody there for me .... That fucking hurt me ! I'm 19 now momma and I'll be 20 in a couple months . 11 years ! 11 years I ain't seen you !" I was now yelling
She sniffled "I know I fucked up big time with you and Jamie but I can't take back time ... I can only try to work on a relationship now baby. Give me a chance to build with you"
I sighed "you ain't gon gain all trust upfront but we can work on it"
I passed her tissues for her crying eyes .
"Well I should be going now" she said rushing to leave
"Where you going momma?" I said standing up
A part of me felt scared , like I was that 9 year old being left by my mom again
"I'm leaving the rehab now so I have to get my stuff out"
"And then where you going to live?"
She shrugged
"Stay here , we got room. I'll drive you to get your stuff come on momma" I said grabbing my car keys and heading out
