I walk into the living room seeing my momma checking her purse before she went out.
East: Good morning Mama.
I give her a hug and she hugs me back.
Mrs. B: Boy why you got on all them chains in my house??
East: Went out last night forgot to take em off.
Mrs. B: Yea I heard you creepin in here last night with yo big ass.
I laugh.
Mrs. B: Jace know you went out?
East: Nah, she was sleep.
Mrs. B: All she been doin is sleeping since she got here..but that's a good thing! That means she's comfortable and can finally RELAX. Can't imagine what she's going through....
My mom trails off looking into nowhere.
Mrs. B: She up? I can cook her come breakfast before I leave to the store.
I wave my hand at her.
East: Nah that sound crazy she still knocked out.
My mom gasps.
East: What? o_o
Mrs. B: Or knocked up! When I was pregnant with you oh my god if I wasn't eating I was sleeping! And ugh you were a pain in the ass! Awwwwwwww-
She looks at me almost teary eyed & I shake my head saying no.
East: Mama listen to me. Jace isn't pregnant.
I laugh.
East: Sorry to disappoint you. She ain't pregnant (laugh) at least not right now.
My mom looks at me amused by the thought of having a grandchild.
Mrs. B: Well what's holding you up! Y'all already married.
East: okay where's my mom & what have you done with her?
She laughs.
East: Are you forgetting I'm still a drug dealer? There was a cop just on our doorstep a few days ago. Jace just found out Don is her daddy. Too much goin on right now to bring a baby into.
My mama pouts. I roll my eyes.
East: What store you goin to?
I change the subject.
Mrs. B: Grocery store, not use to having company to feed, You need anything?
I reach in my wallet & count out 500$ bills & give it to her. She had that look on her face but knew not to argue.
