Sunday dinner:

Camila: hey mama, hey grandma (kisses their cheeks)

Melinda: hey baby girl

Grace: how's my pretty grand baby ?

Camila: I'm alright I just sta-(gco)

Melinda: Omg my baby is back in town !

Yolanda: hey mama (smiles walking into the kitchen) hey grandma

Grace: hey baby how was the flight ?

Yolanda: it was amazing, feels so good to be home

Melinda: where's Jayce and Andrew ?

Yolanda: they're coming in, we brought some deserts and they're getting them out the car

(Camila clears her throat )

Yolanda: oh hi little sis

Camila: hi Yolanda

(Their younger sister Ebony comes in with her baby)

Ebony: hey everyone

Melinda: gimme my grand baby (smiling)

Camila: pov: I went outside on the porch and saw my brother in law Andrew and my nephew walking up the steps. Andrew and my big sister Yolanda have been married 10 years and they seem so happy together.

Andrew: smiles) hey sis how are you?

Camila: I'm okay, how are you ?

Andrew: I'm doing good

Jayce: hey auntie Mila( hugs her)

Mila: hey honey, I missed you glad you're in town

Jayce: I missed you too

Camila pov: after they went inside I sat down on the porch and watched the kids play at the park across the street. I didn't feel welcomed inside honestly. My two sisters are praised for having children and I'm single with no kids. My mama treats me so different. She's not mean or anything but when my sisters are around I get brushed off. Yolanda is the oldest and she's 32, I'm 24 , and Ebony the baby she's 21. I would love to have a family of my own but I doubt that would ever happened. I was in a relationship at one point and it was extremely abusive I just had to get away. Since then I haven't met a guy who interests me. Anyways after sitting on the porch a while I went back inside for dinner. My dad came and Ebony's fiancé and we were able to eat.

Melinda: Mila when you gone give me a grand baby ?

Camila:(sighs) I don't know mama

Melinda: you're 24 and not getting any younger honey

Ebony: do you want kids?

Camila: I do, but I'm not like y'all. I don't have a husband or a boyfriend to love me and start a family

Yolanda: well go find one

Camila: yeah it's that fucking easy Yolanda

Grace: Mila !

Yolanda: don't get mad at me cause you not mama and daddy's favorite child!

Ebony: yo yo chill out, don't start

Camila:(sighs) I wish everyone would just stop asking when imma have a baby. At this point it's never happening (gets up and leaves the table)

Riley: I'll go check on her

(Camila's dad goes outside on the porch to talk to her)

Riley:you okay baby girl?

Camila:(wipes her face) I'm fine dad
