When i got back home i saw my dad's car in the driveway indicating that was here. I sighed before getting out the car and getting leah out the car as well.

I held her hand as we walked up to the door. Already having my key in hand i unlocked the door and i could hear faint arguing.

"Hey." I spoke to my brothers.

"Where you been at?" Twon asked.

"The mall." Jaimeer said and i took leah to my room before going back downstairs.

"What they arguing about?" I asked.

"We don't know." Jaimeer shrugged so i went back upstairs to listen to their argument.

My room was upstairs down the hall from my mom's and they were loud so i could hear clearly with my door open.

"Johnathan i only asked you to do one thing, it's the least you can. I just had to bury our daughter with no help from you." My mom said.

"I helped find where the funeral was held at—THAT'S IT." She cut him off.

"I never ask you to do shit but be in your children's lives, you didn't even show up for Twon's graduation. The only reason why i'm even asking this is because i can't do it on my own." She sniffed.

"I work at a hospital, im there for hours and hours and i can't keep telling Twon, Jaimeer, and Reign to watch
Serenity's babies. They're teens they shouldn't spend their summer acting as parents too. She's gone johnathan, her babies can't have their parents and I can't take care of six people in this house on my own when i'm always at work. I just need you to keep her kids sometimes, they're your grandchildren.". She said.

"They can't stay at my house Angela i don't be there 24/7." He said.

"If i can make adjustments for me to be here more often you can make adjustments at your house too. You just gonna let me do this by myself again?" She asked, it sounded like she was crying. "Do it for serenity not even me." She said.

"I can look after them but they can't stay wit me, it's that or nothing." My dad said.

"You really treating your grandbabies like they're ultimatums." Her voice cracked. "Why can't they spend nights with you, and don't say it's because you have no room because yes you do." She said.

"I got shit that need to be handled, i could've said no but i didn't, i said i'll watch them from time to time you tryna put a lot of me." He said.

"Put a lot on you? I been taking care of three of our kids out of five on my own since they started middle school. You don't think you put a lot on me? And then on top of that i have to raise three more kids as well that im having to ask you to help me with." She said.

"I give you and them money— You taking care of them financially isn't being a fucking father. Showing up for them is, taking care of them physically and emotionally is. You don't get a pat on the back for buying all of them cars, and trying to buy their love with more gifts." She said and i closed my door and sat down on my bed.
