I got Bella out of the back and we walked up to the door. We'd arrived at Dave's moms for our Christmas dinner. This morning was just what I wanted, we woke up and had breakfast together before exchanging and opening gifts. Christmas had been good so far, after dinner here we would head home most likely to watch Christmas movies or something.

The door opened and we walked in, as I was about to greet Kayla I saw the look on her face. My eyes followed hers and they landed on Chelsea sitting in the kitchen. My eyes grew wide, I was shocked to see her and how sick she looked.

"What is she doing here?"

"Took the words from my mouth I just got here. You need to get Cam out of here."

"Fuck she doing here?" Cameron asked with a scowl ok his face.

"You don't speak to me like that." Chelsea scoffed.

"I can speak to you however. You ain't ma motha." he said with his thick Harlem accent really came out when he was mad.

"Cameron!" Dave's mom yelled.

"You invited her G? After everything?" Cameron asked not wanting to believe it.

"She needs her family."

"She ain't got no family." Dave chimed in, they'd all been hurt too many times by her selfish ways.

"Cam go to the car and get her in. We're leaving." I said giving him the keys and Bella.

"Nah ian-" Cameron was cut off by Dave.

"Go now." Dave interrupted with a stern look on his face.

He took Bella and stormed out, I could hear Chelsea chuckling. She got up and walked over, standing right in front of us. She looked awful, there was nothing of her.

"Y'all think you so perfect. You look after him for five minutes and what y'all the perfect family? Fake asses I need help and where were you?!"

"Where were we?! I was over at ya fucking house trynna get you into rehab that's fucking what. We all tried to help you but you didn't want it!" Dave yelled, he was going to keep his cool but that clearly went out the window.

"So what you take my child from me?!"

"You couldn't look after him what were we supposed to do?" I asked.

"Oh so you do talk. Y'all make me sick, you complain about me being a junkie or whatever and then you take the one thing I need?"

"If we didn't take him God knows what would have happened. You couldn't take care of yourself let alone Cameron. So don't sit up here talking like we stole him from you. He wanted to come to us and it's that simple." I said, her face changed once I spoke up.

"Shut your mouth! We were doing just fine until you took him away from me!" she yelled as loud as she could.

"Nah you don't speak to Cass like that. She been more of a mother to him that you'll ever fucking be." Dave said pointing right at her.

"No she ain't. Standing here in her nice clothes thinking she better than me. You too Kayla standing there all hush, making me fuckung sick. Y'all ain't shit none of y'all! And he's my son that's that he's coming back with me." she said rolling her neck as she finished her little speech.

"First of all I don't know who you think you yelling at because it ain't me that's for sure. Secondly I don't think I'm better than anybody. But I can for sure as hell say that I love my kids and will forever do what I can to make them happy and feel safe. Never in my life have I put anything over them. So if that makes me better than you than shit I guess myself and Kayla are better than you, because that's exactly what we do. And for the record he's eighteen if you forgot, meaning you have no legal hold over him. He can do as his pleases and if that's staying with us then you don't got a leg to stand on." I said.

As I finished she went for me but Kayla shoved her back and punched her in the mouth causing her to stumble back. Dave grabbed Kayla since he knew that she would beat her ass right in front of their mother.

"Fall the fuck back." Dave pushed Chelsea right back as she went for Kayla.

I grabbed Kayla's hand and took her outside to calm her down. The door opened and Dave stepped out with the same mug on his face.

"Go home mama we gone be here for a while." he sighed.

I didn't say anything I just nodded, Christmas had officially been ruined. I walked over to the car and took the keys from Cameron and headed right home.

I walked into the house rubbing my face. What a fucking Christmas bruh. I walked into the living to see all three of them fast asleep. Cassidy was sitting up, Bella was hugging her arm and Cameron's head was in her lap.

"Cam..wake up go'on up to bed." I said tapping his arm.

"What happened?" he mumbled as he got up.

"Nothing fa you to worry bout." I shook my head.

"Ian a kid anymore."

I sighed rubbing my hand down my face. "Me and ya TT had an argument with ya grams. Then we drove Chels up to a rehab, we got her checked in and left."

He didn't say anything he just went upstairs. I leaned down to pick up Bella but she woke up whining.

"Shh shh." I hushed rubbing her back.

"Mommy." she whimpered trying to reach for Cassidy.

"Look mommy still there baby." I said as I woke up Cassidy.

She slowly got up and we went upstairs, I explained everything on the way upstairs. After putting Bella to bed I took a quick shower and got into bed.

"I love you I do....but I'm tired of your family." she said and I couldn't help but chuckle.

"Me and you both baby." I shook my head, they stress the hell out of me a nigga got grey hairs and shit.

I turned my head and Cass was just staring into space. I flicked her bottoms lip making it to droop low and her smack her lips.

"You so annoying." she shook her head as she flicked the sheets back as she was getting hot.

"I'm trynna lighten the mood." I shrugged off.

"There's no need to, it is what it is." she sighed sitting back.

"I'm hungry." I said realising I hadn't eaten since this morning.

"I cooked when we got back it's all in the fridge." she said now thinking of how good the food was.

"You gonna come keep me company?"

"Now I'm hungry let's go." she said making me laugh.

We went downstairs and I opened the fridge, grabbing all the containers. I made us both up a plate and heated hers first.

"We need to go shopping soon, I feel like we have so much to get." she said.

"We bout to go broke is what, two babies? We gone have to hit two of every damn thing." I shook my head, I closed the fridge and sat down with my plate in front of me.

"We still have a lot of stuff from when Bella was younger. We're gonna need another car seat and a double stroller."

"We ain't gone need a stroller yet, your ocd gone keep em in the house for as long as possible." I said knowing that's what we did with Bella. I looked up and she was giving me the evils.

"What? We did it with Bellz." I looked away hoping that she wouldn't kill me.

"Anyways I wouldn't even know where to start so we can wait out on buying the stroller."

We finished eating, just trynna pretend as if today never happened. I can't even put into words how much today had annoyed me man. But we did what we could and managed to get Chelsea in rehab. I'm washing my hands of her at this point.
