Charmaine: charm where you going dressed like that? Find you as skirt that fit
Charm: mama all the girls dressing like this
Charmaine: you're 13, no ma'am . Go change
Charm: sighs) yes ma'am (goes back upstairs )
Chloe: mama! Dad! (Comes running down the stairs )
Oliver; Chloe what's wrong ?
Charmaine: girl stop running
Chloe: look ! ( showing them her iPad) read it
Oliver: We will like to congratulate you on your acceptance to Spelman College and offer you a full ride scholarship! Congratulations baby!
Charmaine:(squeals) Omg !!! I'm so proud of you baby !
Oliver pov: my baby girl got accepted into her dream school and on a full ride scholarship. She's been accepted to other colleges but this was her first choice. I am extremely proud of her. She's graduating high school in two months and she improved once we got her in her new school. Her grades are exceptional, she's doing so well
( the door bell rings)
Charmaine:(opens the door) hey bestie
Misty: hey girl, how are you (hugs her)
Charmaine: I'm doing good, is that my god baby DJ towering over you ?
Misty: girl tall like his daddy (laughs)
Dj: hey god mama (smiles)
Charmaine : girl he looking just like Darius twin height and all
Dj:( laughs) I'm taller than dad
Charmaine: damn(shutting the door behind them) Chloe is gonna be a Spelman Woman this fall
Misty: Omg shut up!( smiles) congratulations honey !
Chloe:smiles) thank you, ma can I go hang with Drea ?
Charmaine: yeah go ahead, tell her I said hi
Chloe: okay , bye y'all (grabs her Keys of the table)
Oliver: be careful
Chloe: I will (leaves out)
Misty:who's Drea ?(picking up Josiah)
Oliver; her girlfriend
Misty: frowns) her girlfriend ?
Charmaine: yeah, you didn't know?
Misty:(shakes her head) no. So she's gay , y'all allowing that ?
Charmaine:(frowns) what you tryna say?
Oliver: yeah it's a problem?
Misty; I'm just saying, she'll never be able to give y'all grand kids. Has she even had a boyfriend yet, before y'all let her decide that ?
Oliver; we want her to be happy that's what matters to us
Misty: but she's a kid. I wouldn't tolerate that from my kid
Charmaine: exactly your kid. Chloe is not yours. My daughter felt uncomfortable with boys. She trusted Andrea and she made her happy. My child was comfortable enough to come out and tell us how she felt and we accept it. If you don't like it you can fucking leave (taking Josiah from her )
Misty: stands up) you mad for what ? I'm just giving my opinion
Charmaine: and I don't need your opinion. How you judging her when you were gay ? Or did you forget Daniel was born a girl and was a girl when you dated him?
Misty: this ain't about me
Oliver: Misty get the hell out. Don't come back to our home
Misty: fine (grabs her purse) let's go Dj
Dj:(sighs) bye ma(hugs Charmaine)
Charmaine: bye baby, if you need anything I'm still here regardless of your mama and I situation, okay ?
Dj: yes ma'am
(They leave)
Charmaine pov: I can't believe my own best friend is judging my daughter. I would never expect that from her. I'm done wit that bitch forever.
Charmaine: ugh I can't fucking believe her !
Oliver: hey calm down char
Charmaine: she's supposed to be my bestfriend and she judging our daughter (tearing out) especially with her background
Oliver: pulling her on to his lap) baby listen, everybody don't accept gay people and you know that. Chloe is our child, we ain't gotta worry about what nobody think. We accept her. Now if they touch her it's a whole different story. Fuck Misty and whoever else don't accept Chloe. I know you upset and I promise you my blood boiling to but that's her opinion and we can't change it.
Charmaine: it just pisses me off So bad
Oliver: I know(wiping her tears) but try and calm down for me please baby
Charmaine: nods) okay
Josiah: mommy look(bring her his toy)
Charmaine: oh no , it's broken. Daddy gotta buy you another one
Oliver: let me see jojo
Josiah: broke(hands it to him)
Charmaine: can you fix it ?
Oliver: looking at it) nah he cracked it some how. Daddy gotta get you another truck tomorrow man
Josiah: okay
Charmaine: are you hungry baby?
Josiah:( nods) mhm
Charmaine: want nuggies?
Josiah: yes!(jumping up and down)
Charmaine:(smiles) alright, coming right up. Bae what you want to eat?
Oliver: I don't know honestly, but you sit here and relax, I'll cook
Charmaine: oooh, bae make some burgers
Oliver: ooh that do sound good, get up real quick

Charm: yes ma'am
Charmaine pov: all my babies getting big. The twins are 13 now and they're becoming so much mature. Chloe is on her way to college and I'm so excited for her. Lastly our baby Josiah is two now, but I still want another baby. Just one more before we're too old.
