~Devanté's P.O.V~

We made it back to the hotel in no time because it was not far at all from the park. It's actually walking distance, but it's also winter in France and a couple of days away from being the coldest month in France. We all know that I get cold fast and I don't want them to get sick.

"Hold onto my arm," I told Masir putting the baby bag across my shoulder. "You hold Masir's hand," I told DJ as I picked up Asiri who was in her car seat.

I know DJ won't run off, but I don't know about Masir, so that's why I have DJ at the end.

"You forgot that I'm here?" Creed asked me.

"Right, Masir go to Creed," I let go of his hand and he listened. We went up the stairs and to the hotel without any problems. "Y'all go straight to the kitchen with that ice cream," I said opening the door.

"Dery!" DJ ran further inside when they were in eye view.

When I arrived, everyone was there. Derek, Maria, and their little family. Elijah, Max, Ashari, Courtney, Dalvin, and JoJo are here. Eden and Edna are here with their dudes. I don't see my fiancée though.

"What y'all doin' here?" My question sounds like a general question, but I'm talking about Derek and his family. I don't have a problem with Derek and the kids if Maria I have a problem with. "Why are you here after what you said about me?" I asked Maria. "With the kids too?" I raised my eyebrows, "especially since you think so lowly of me."

Derek began to speak. "Junior? Man- tsss, she sor-"

"I don't want to hear it from a second party about what someone thinks or believes. I want to hear it from the horse's mouth," I replied to my brother. "It's good that your here because she took another crap and I don't have to change that either." I went over and handed Asiri to Ashari. "I didn't have to change a diaper once today."

"So you had my baby pissy?" Ashari gave me a look.

"Nah, Maria changed it when she needed to be changed," I responded to her.

"Oh, okay. Thanks, Maria. Can I go to the back to change her?" Ashari asked me.

"Yeah, that way," I pointed to the opposite direction of our bedroom. "Down THAT hall. What's up?" I said dapping JoJo up. "Where's Toothpick?"

"I don't fuckin' know," JoJo shrugged.

"Where's my fiancée? Tia doesn't ever seem to be around when I get here. It be everybody else but her," I laughed.

"Somewhere around here," Elijah shrugged, "sober," he stated the obvious.

"Yeah, y'all asses look a little on the tipsy side," I shook my head.

"All five of us are and I feel good," Courtney laughed.

"Five?" I asked them.

"Your cousins tagged along too," Elijah replied. "We had a ball."

"That's good. You know what I'm goin' to go do," I said walking away to find my lady.
