The next day
Saturday

"You sure you don't want to stay at my moms house ?" Ali asked as they walked through the airport security.

"No, this whole trip was so last minute that I don't want to impose on her by staying at her place plus we are only here for the weekend anyway"

"Yea... but why you ain't stay with Micah then?"

"Ali why does it matter who I stay with ?" She said while strolling both kids up to a McDonald's booth and ordering them happy meals.

"Want me to be honest with you?" He asked while they waited.

"Yes, because ever since we got on the plane, you've been harassing me with questions, like where am I staying? And who I'm going to be hanging with while your gone?"

"I've been asking you all these questions because I'm trying to go out with my friends tonight and I don't want you to be left in the hotel room by ya'self. Being a full time dad ain't no joke and I came here for a vacation. When you told me you was coming, I -"

"You what? Didn't want to say no?"

"Something like that..." he said while grabbing the happy meals from the worker and giving them to each of the kids.

"Well fine. You enjoy your weekend with your friends and I'll enjoy mine with MY kids" she said as she walked away.

"Lex wait!" He yelled out but she continued to walk away.

Once outside she saw Ali's mom parked in the pick up zone and loaded the kids and their stuff into the car.

"Hi babies, hi lex" his mom said from the drivers seat.

"Hi Mrs. Doby" lexy said as she got in the back.

"Wassup Ma?" Ali said as he finally reached the car and loaded the stuff in the trunk, then got in the passenger seat.

"Hey son. Why did you both come out at different times?" his mom questioned while driving off.

"I was struggling with carrying the suitcases through the airport" (he lied).

Lexy didn't say anything and instead helped amoura and RJ eat their food.

"I know this is about more than just suitcases Ali. What's really going on with you two?" His mom asked again while looking at lexy through the rear view Murrow.

They both remained quiet until lexy finally spoke up.

"...tell her Ali"

He looked back at her and rolled his eyes.

"Well Ma, ima be honest with you. I want to move back to New York but lexy don't want to. I also want a baby and lexy don't-"

"A baby?" His mom questioned. "You really think you're ready for that kind of responsibility?"

"Yeah I mean we grown now so it's our decision if we want to. Right Lex?"

"Huh? Sorry one of the kids dropped a French fry on the floor" she lied, just so she wouldn't have to be apart of their conversation.

He sucked his teeth, knowing she heard everything but had no proof.

"Son do you not understand she already has two kids? Adding one more would not only be expensive but just bad timing"
