Stuck Between The Two (1st)

Chapter 35

Jas
Its Christmas!!
It's been a hard couple of months but it's a holiday and my baby 2nd birthday. I got Zakai up and got him fed, a bath and dressed in his black and red Nike jogging suit, white shirt, with his red timbs. Everyone is coming over for his birthday and for Christmas dinner.

"Zoe watch Zakai while I shower." She sat up and looked at me looking stupid. "Nah let me shower first so I can wake up then I'll watch him." "Get yo ass up and come on." I went in the living room with Zakai following me. Everybody is bringing something to add to what I've cooked.

"Happy Birthday mama baby." "Happy Buthday." Zakai started clapping and smiling. "How old are you?" He tried to hold up two fingers. Everyday I'm working with him counting on his fingers and using cards and talking to him as if I'm talking to someone my age, we don't do baby talk. After Zoe showered and got dressed my baby walked in the living room looking fine as hell. "I see you put on what I laid out." She rolled her eyes and sat on the couch. "Never thought Id have my girl dressing me, I like it though." I had her dressed in black jeans, red and black button up with her black and white timbs I got her for Christmas along with her black and white Floyd Mayweather TMT snapback.

After I got out the shower the doorbell rung. Zoe can get it, I finished oiling my body then put on my red jeans that fit to my body with my grey long sleeve top that hangs off one shoulder, my grey boots, with my gold jewelry. Des came in the room to straighten my hair. "You good boo?" She looked at me and I could tell she been crying. "Its okay girl, I'm here if you need me and Champ is too." She sat on the bed and put her hands on her face. I sat beside her and wrapped my arms around her. "Baby?" I looked at Zoe and waved her out the room. "I miss her so much Jas." Des had a good mama, she just lost her way after her boyfriend of six years, Des step dad basically, was killed in jail the day before he was suppose to come home. After that she started drinking to keep from crying and hurting. That's when their relationship went down hill and got worse when she started doing drugs. Des was tired of but at the same time she loved her mama and wanted the relationship they use to have. "I love you girl, I got you."

After me and Des got our self together, AJ and her new boo Steph had arrived with Amiya. "First of all thank y'all for coming to celebrate this holiday and Zakai birthday. We really appreciate it. Tell em thank you Juicy." Zakai ran to my leg holding on to me. "Thank you." Everyone started clapping and trying to get highfives from Zakai but his spoiled butt wasn't having it. There was a knock at the door so Zoe let everyone fix their plates while I went to see who it was. I stood outside looking at a CPS (child protectice service) woman and a mixed 14 or 15 year old boy. "Are you Jasmine Williams?"
