"Stop!" I popped Zari when she hit me cause she couldn't get her way. I glared at her while she stared at me as her lip quivered before she started full on crying.

I'm not one to hit my babies because I prefer gentle parenting and it works but today she in one of her moods and don't be listening to anything I say so she gone get popped.

I watched as she looked at Isaiah before looking back at me as she started crying making me look up at him while he was leaned back in the couch staring at me with his phone in his hand.

"Don't say shit to me cause she not listening and you bet not pick her up either" I looked back at him as he stared at me for a little while longer before turning to face Azariah who was walking towards him while bawling her eyes out.

Its definitely the dramatics for me cause why I get to softly popping her on her hand and she crying like I just almost killed her.

"Isaiah, I'm not playing with you bro" I glared at him as I watched him feel sorry for her. I could see that he wanted to pick her up and baby her which is exactly what she wants and then she gone think he's going to come to her rescue everytime.

"Fuck it, c'mere mama" he held his arms open for her making me sigh before slowly nodding my head and walking out of the living room.

"Finna show him a thing or two" I mumbled as I walked into my room before closing the door behind me and getting under the covers to continue watching my show which is what I was doing before I had to come downstairs.

A few minutes into the show, my door slowly opened making me look up to see Toota and Ari walk in while holding hands.

"Wassup, mommyyy" he dragged as he took his shoes off before coming to lay next to me with his head on my shoulder.

"Hey, Bookie" I smiled as I kissed his forehead while my hand ran through his hair. I smiled when Ari walked to my side of the bed and hugged me while placing a kiss on my cheek.

"Hey ma" she said standing back up straight before walking to the other side of the bed to lay her head on my legs while they both cuddled up to me.

"Hey pretty girl. Are you okay?" I asked and she nodded her head before Toota grabbed the remote and changed the TV to a movie that we said we were gonna watch today.

"Why Zari was crying?" Toota mumbled while I continued rubbing his scalp.

"She was being bad so I popped her and your dad always tryna baby her." I said making him chuckle and shake his head.

"Ari, girl come lay over here" I said moving over slightly as Kamari moved his legs to Isaiah's side of the bed while she wormed herself in between the two of us.

"My big babies. Ya'll act so grown but still wanna be babied" I shook my head as Kamari smacked his teeth. 

"I am your baby" Kamari said making me scoff.

"Babies don't have sex and make another baby" I remarked making Ari bust out laughing while he sucked his teeth before snatching away from me and getting up from the bed while I laughed along with her.

I watched as he walked out of the room closing the door behind him making me chuckle, knowing he finna be right back.

Not even a while minute later, the door opened.

"Nevermind" he mumbled as he came and laid back on my shoulder making me bust out laughing cause this one of his moments where he wanna have physical touch and be clingy, so idk why he did all that.
