Sienna POV:

"Guess what, I hear daddy. He's home, are you excited" I say talking to King. I find it ugly Everytime I catch myself baby talking. I legit can't stand it, I don't add like the high pitched voice and baby words, but dragging my words out is baby talking enough and it's ew.

Zay came in the house looking at his phone typing. I stood in the living room holding King and he walked right past us on his phone. Me and King looked at each other. He's done this three times this week, yesterday he didn't say anything to me when he came in. First thing he actually said was 'where's the body wash you keep in the shower' once I told him that was it. We've been eating silent dinners and it's all about his phone.

He got in the shower so I figured maybe he just wanted to do that. He probably wanted to be clean before he grabbed and loved all over King. Me and King sat in his room and read a story. He was not being a good listener, he babbled through half the book. I can't lie and say he's not cute. I know he can't talk yet but I can see myself buying him whatever, whenever he wants. His face and his smile. We still aren't pros at this parenting thing but hearing him cry and not knowing what he needs makes me feel terrible. It reminds me why I originally didn't want this. I don't feel like it was meant for me. I don't want to pass him off though because then everyone will know I'm terrible at this. I overthink every little thing when it comes to him. Hoping his life turns out better than mine.

King got changed and sat in his high chair for some puffs when Zay came back out from his shower. He walked by us on his phone before stopping.

"Aye you make dinner" he asked his attention still on the screen.

"No I was thinking take out. I just didn't know what to get yet. Did you have anything specific you wanted"

"Bro you need to make sure you cover me" he laughed and I looked at him. He was already on the game. I take it he didn't even listen to what I said.

I wanted to ask him what was going on but then I don't. If it's something I did he can tell me not just ignore me. Then he could of at-least spoke to King, he didn't do anything wrong. Why ask if I cooked if all he was going to do was ignore my answer? It's not making since, I'd be wrong to give the silent treatment though.

King finished up his snack and had tummy time for a while. Later I fed him and bathed him this way it was all taken care of. He went down for a nap and I had a timer set for two hours, otherwise he won't sleep through the night. It's been about three hours since Zay got home and he's been loudly on the game the entire time. It was around eight o'clock and I heard someone knocking on the door as I went to the living room.

"Aye can you get that for me Sienna" he says, I roll my eyes getting the door. It was two bags of food. I walked over to him sitting next to him with the bags. He took them unloading them. He looked at me and lifted the mic up.

"What you need"

"Isn't this dinner" I asked confused. He looked at me and laughed.

"Yeah, my dinner. I figured you ate and I just had to feed myself" he said continuing to pull food, his food out the bag.

"When have I ever done that." I asked and he shrugged.

"I didn't get nothing for you, we have fries and shit in the freezer though" he suggested taking a bite of his food staring me in my face. He went right back to his game and I just walked away to avoid an argument. I have never don't that to him. He bought enough food to share and on top of that if he was listening he would of heard what I said. He must of had a bad day at work or something.

After maybe an hour or two he came into the room. I was scrolling on Instagram. He took off his shirt to and cut the tv off. I wasn't watching it anymore so I didn't care.

"Zay, how was work today" I asked him.

"Can you put the baby in his own bed. I just got off I'm tired".

I got up and put King in his bed. Technically he was supposed to be up but he woke up an hour early so he got changed and fed again and hopefully he's good through the night still. When I got back in the room he was sitting on the bed on his phone typing.

"Puddin, how was work" I asked again , getting in the bed. He groaned.

"Sienna bro go to sleep. I just got off work and can't do shit because you want to talk my ear off "

"Are you serious Zayden"

"Go to sleep" he says laying down. I figured he just didn't want to talk about it so I dropped it. I was still a bit upset about the food thing and hopeful. I hardly ate all day having King and working is hard. So things like eating I forget about sometimes.

"Zayden, did you get me anything to eat—

"I already told you no, you told me you were fine"

"When did I say that Zayden, you haven't even talked to me" I say getting upset, I'm trying not to.

"I asked if you ate and you nodded and walked away. It's not my fault you ain't eat. You should of said something when I was ordering" he says and finally put his phone down. He wasn't looking at me though.

I just nodded -for real this time— and cut my light off to go to bed. If we keep talking he's going to kiss me off and we'll get arguing. I don't feel like it right now. I don't know who pissed in his Cheerios but he should not be taking it out on me, or his son.

Is Zayden wrong or is Sienna over reacting?

He called her bro, y'all know she hates being called someone's bro if the relationship is more than that.

She said she feels like she's isn't fit to be a mom sometimes and passing him off only tells others she isn't fit to do it either, this true? Should she ask for help more often if feeling that way?
