Toni
It's been a few months since the girls have been born and let me tell you, having six kids is not easy. TJ and Tommy were officially first graders and back in school, while Josiah was in preschool. With that being said, mornings and afternoons are easier with Jordan and the girls. However, the evenings were hectic. With homework, kids bouncing off the wall, and trying to get them to bed it's pretty hectic. "Toni! I need the diapers!" I heard Janet yell.
"Alright! Here I come!" I grabbed the pack of diapers and ran upstairs. Janet was sitting on the bed with the girls and was cleaning them up. "Look at my princesses getting all clean." I kissed both of their foreheads and they let out little giggles while kicking their little legs.
"Okay." Janet put a fresh diaper on each other then and fixed their onesies. "All clean." I picked up Amiyah while Janet held Amelia. In these last three months, they've looked more and more like Janet. They were just precious.
"How have you been doing, babe?" She sighed.
"I'm okay. It's getting easier to go about my day."
"Good." Janet had suffered heavily with postpartum depression. It was so bad that all she could do was pump milk, but beyond that, she wouldn't get up. She was barely able to handle being around the babies. They would cry and she would cry. It was hard watching her go through it, but eventually she came out of it. She's still having some issues but it's easier for her now. "Have you worked on the album?"
"I have and it's going great. Jimmy and Terry are going to be down here soon and we'll get some studio time."
"Good."
"I'm actually going to..." her phone rang. "Hello.....hi, sweetie.....what do you mean?........oh, she did........okay, mommy will come get you guys.....love you too." She hung up.
"What's wrong?"
"Pack the girls up. We have something to take care of." She secured Amelia in her arms and slipped her slides on. I followed behind her, going downstairs. We put the girls in the car seats and grabbed the diaper bags.
"What's going on, Janet?"
"It's been more than four months, Toni."
"What?"
"The girls are born and I'm healed up. Let's go."
"What are you....oh lord." I grabbed the car seats and we went to the garage. Janet was already sitting in the passenger seat. I got in the driver's seat and pulled out.
"You know where we're going?"
"Yep." I sped off. "What that bitch say now?"
"TJ and Tommy were telling Duncan and Charlie
about the girls. Duncan and Charlie said that it's cool that the boys have little sisters. TJ and Tommy said they should come over to play and see their new sisters when Charlie and Duncan's moms said that they couldn't come over because our home isn't natural. Then TJ overheard Charlie's mom saying to Duncan's mom that she doesn't feel comfortable with her son hanging out with ours. She's worried they're a bad influence. TJ went back and told Tommy what he heard. Duncan and Charlie heard and now they're all upset."
"That's ridiculous. I swear I'm tired of that fucking carpool."
"Exactly, I'll just drop and pick my babies up."
"But what about their friends? They love being around them."
"I know and I don't want my babies to be outcasts."
"We'll figure it out." I pulled up to Duncan's house and Janet got out. I stayed in the car with the girls and watched. If anything popped off, I would get out.
