Her Boys [Oneshots]

Family Day

"Who does everyone want to ride with?"

"Auntie!" João grabbed London's hand because she was the coolest in his eyes.

"Mommy!" Amir hugged Amina and she ruffled his hair.

"I guess you're with me loser" Jamie joked

"Guess I am" Samira stood beside her dad with a pout.

"What's wrong?" Amina asked and she pointed to her dad.

"You don't want to ride with daddy?"

"No, I wanted Auntie but João has her already"

"You can ride with her, I'll ride with daddy"

"Thank you" Amina smiled and João and Samira switched spots.

"Winner gets one hundred dollars?"

"Yes! Yes" the kids cheered, making the adults look at them. What money did they have?

"Second place gets fifty dollars. And last place, zero dollars"

"You're all going down" London teased handing the worker her ticket. She sat in the front with Samira while Jamie and João sat two karts behind them and Amina in the last kart that had a smaller seat for children.

Once the other set of racers pulled in the worker moved from the gate and London and Samira sped off. Samira laughed looking behind her to see her brother and father left in the dust.

Amina was the last to leave and once she turned the corner she sped up.

"No!! No"

"What's wrong bubba?"

"Too fast. Too fast mommy. M'Scared. Slow"

"I'm sorry bubba, I'll go slow." Amina drove around the track slowly as she got towards the end the other karts sped past her.

"Hit them" João whispered, turning the wheel. Knocking into London's kart. That was supposed to be him in first place.

"Hey! No bumping daddy" Samira told her dad.

"You're taking up the whole lane"

"Shush, loser" London got in front of Jamie and started driving slowly and brake checking.

"Oh brother. Come on!!" He groaned. They went around a few more times.

London and Jamie looked behind them when they heard Amir crying and Amina going off.

"Ma'am you have to stay in the kart."

"It's not fucking bumper cars. What the hell is wrong with you?" She cursed at some man who bumped into her so hard he was facing the rubber tires on the sideline. He was clearly intoxicated.

She bent down un buckling Amir and picking him up. He was crying as his side took more damage.

"Are you okay, baby?" Amina walked off the track with her son.

He shook his head.

"Up, up. Everybody out" Jamie got up following his wife. London, Samira and João followed, leaving three empty karts on the track.

"Baby? You ready to go home?" Jamie asked, seeing that she was upset. She shook her head. She didn't want to ruin their family day. She was in a bit of pain herself so she would just sit out.

"Are you okay, mama?" Samira and João rushed over to Amina seeing that she was holding her neck.

"I'm okay, I'm going to go take my bubba to eat. Is anyone else hungry?"
