The Babysitter (August Alsina Story) -Book 3- Revised 2019

Chapter 53.

August and Becca pulled up to his mama's house to a bunch of cars parked out front.

"What's with all these cars," Becca asked stepping out as August held the door open.

"Weeeeellllll I told everyone to come over so we could tell em we are engaged," August laughed.

"Oh geez," Becca shook her head. "I guess we should tell them we are planning to move to Atlanta too then."

"Yeah that way my mom can get her crying out now n shit," he said as they made their way to the door.

"Should I take my ring off and put it on again when we make the announcement," Becca said walking in front of him.

"I don't want you ever taking that ring off baby," he said grabbing her hand. "I think we should just announce it once someone notices it and make sure Drake and London doesn't say it first since they already know."

"Someone is going to say something as soon as I walk in. I'm carrying a big ass rock on my finger," she laughed.

"True. Well we will just see how long it takes someone to notice."

They made their way into the house. Most of the women were in the kitchen sipping on mimosas while the guys were in the living room watching football.

"Hey mama," August said kissing her on the cheek.

"Hey yall," she hugged August and Becca. "Happy belated Birthday Rebecca darlin."

"Thank you Mama Sheila," Becca said hugging then quickly putting her hand out of sight.

"Breakfast is almost done so tell the guys to set the table," Sheila said untying her apron.

August nodded his head and went to the living room to get Chris, Drake, Diggy, and Sean.

"Wuddup Bro," Chris said hugging August with Cj in his arms.

"Wuddup," August said letting go of Chris and grabbing the baby. "Wuddup nephew." He kissed his chubby cheeks as he sat down.

"Be careful bro. The kid throws up like the demon from the Exorcist," they both laughed.

"You better not throw up on me nephew," he said holding the baby out in front of him.

"So how was your weekend with Becca?" Sean said. "She like the lake idea?"

"Yeah she loved that shit," August said smiling thinking about the weekend. "It was better than I thought it would be."

"Ma is about to whoop all y'all's asses especially yours Aug." China said coming out the kitchen with a pitcher of orange juice. "Y'all supposed to be setting up the dining room."

"Oh shit I forgot to tell yall and hello to you too mean ass," August said sticking out his tongue at China.

"Just for sticking out your tongue at me, you get your plate last," China said leaving the room.

"Yeah right, my boo is gonna make her man a plate," August yelled after China getting up from his seat with the rest of the guys.

"I swear yall two fuss the most with each other," Chris laughed.

Everyone set the table up. The dining room smelled of bacon, eggs, french toast, grits, pancakes, turkey sausage.

"Dang mama, you threw down didn't you," August said sitting down next to Becca with a now sleeping baby Chris still in his arm.

"You know how I do baby," Sheila said sitting at the head of table.

They said grace and got down to business of eating.

"Mama Sheila this food is so good," Danielle said stealing Sean's french toast.

"Aye man," Sean said pushing Danielle's hand away. "Get your own."

"Mean ass," she laughed.

"Bro I can take the baby from you so you can eat," Chris said next to him.

"He good. I missed having a baby in my arms," he said pouring another glass of OJ for him and Becca.

Becca smiled to herself hearing August talk like that.

"Speaking of babies when is Kimberly coming back from her grandma's house," Becca asked August while playing with baby Chris's hair.

"Later this afternoon," he replied back.

Becca nodded her head and grabbing her glass of orange juice in front of her.

"Ahhh," China jumped up dropping her folk as she put her hand over her mouth.

She startled everyone including the baby.

"Girl what is wrong with you," Chris said looking at her and so was the rest of the table.

"What is that on your ring finger Becca," China asked excitedly ignoring Chris.

Everyone finally looked over to Becca and observed the glistening rock on her perfectly manicured finger.

Everyone was taking it in. Most had huge smiles on their face. Becca laughed looking at August then towards to everyone.

"Well..." She started out slowly before blurting out. "August asked me to marry him."

All the women started screaming including Becca with excitement. Nobody is sitting down anymore. By now the baby is fully awake.

Chris dapped August before taking the baby from him,"proud if you brotha. I knew it was only a matter of time."

"I can't believe you didn't tell me," Mama Sheila said with a smile and tears in her eyes.

"We wanted to surprise you," August said kissing her cheek.

"I'm so happy it's out in the open," London said hugging her sister. "I didn't know how long I could keep it a secret! Now we can talk about planning."

They all laughed.

"How did I not see this big ol thing since yall got here," Sheila said as she gazed at the ring.

"I had my sweater kind of over my hand." Becca said sitting down.

"Well I am so happy about this." Sheila said sitting back down. "In the beginning I wasn't sure about the idea of you two due to the circumstances surrounding the reason you were in my son and granddaughters life, but I'm so glad that I was able to get to know you on a more personal level and I couldn't imagine any other woman in my son's life."

"Aww thank you for that," Becca said a little teary eyed.

"Tell us how you did it August," Kelcei asked her big bro.

August explained how her asked Becca to marry him. Of course leaving out the parts having to do with sex.

"Damn Chris, how come you didn't propose to me like that," China said to Chris.

"How come you couldn't wake up at 4 this morning to change our son's funky ass diaper," he laughed.

"Shut up," she laughed back. As she playfully nudged him.

"Cut it out you too," Sheila said laughing.

"Since this discussion is on the table, I mine as well let everyone know that Becca, Kimberly and myself are moving to Atlanta at the beginning of the year," August said smiling. He kissed Becca and looked around the table at everyone's expression. No one was smiling. And Mama Sheila looked like she was about to cry as August predicted before leaving the room.

August took a deep breath before getting up to check on his mama.
