"akari, baby, you literally have food right there." i pointed to her plate as she wiggled her little fingers next to mine. "noooooo!" she pouted, still trying to grab a watermelon off my plate. "kariii, why are you eating mama's food?" tendo caught her attention and she continued to pout, arms crossed as she sat back in her seat. i rolled my eyes at her small little tantrum, handing akari the piece of watermelon from off my plate. 

"i'll just get another one." i sighed. "no need, take mine. wasn't gonna eat it anyway." zawa moved his plate towards me and i smiled. "thank you." i happily took the piece of fruit before eating it. "happy now?" i looked over at akari who had watermelon all over her face. i grabbed a napkin and wiped her face. "is she always like this?" kageyama questioned, a concerned look on his face and i shook my head. "no not really. i don't know why she's acting all bratty." i answered. 

"hey, my baby is not bratty." tendo countered as he drank his soda and i pursed my lips at him. "boy please. she is the epitome of bratty." i replied as i glanced over at our daughter. "more than usual too." ushijima walked behind me and replaced akari's drink that was now empty. i scoffed, "she's gonna grow up to be spoiled because of you guys." aran sent me a smirk. "what can we say?"

"nothing, so shut up." 

"armani, i will-."

"you'll do what?"

"y'all chill out. damn."  astumu interrupted and i glared at aran. "god, you guys have been at it all day." tendo said and i shrugged. "i'm tired." i yawned before shoving a piece of fruit in my mouth. "tired? girl, we haven't even started." bokuto winked at me and i groaned, throwing my head back. "not get enough sleep?" hinata quipped as he inhaled huge pieces of meat in his mouth. i raised an eyebrow at it but said nothing toward it. "uh...yeah, just been working a lot. trying to save up for a new car." i answered. "that she won't let us help with." aran added and i rolled my eyes again.

"because i'm a big girl who knows the honor of a dollar. i want to work for my shit." 

"whoaa," tendo sent me a look. "chill out." 

i looked over at akari who paid no mind and continued to eat from her plate. 

"you know we have no problem with doing that. helping out is the least we can do." zawa looked at me  with a smile. "yoooo...i have a problem with that." suna chipped in. "i don't know this girl." he sipped his beer. "don't be rude, suna." yaku chastised. "no, he's valid." i waved him off, "plus, like i said, i can do it. i'm almost there." 

"good for you, mani." zawa nudged my shoulder a bit and i smiled. my eyes locked on my lap for a bit but when i look up, i can see tendo staring at me. i furrowed my eyebrows at him but he simply just looks away. i sighed, eating more food before throwing my plate away. "mommyyy, i'm sleepy." akari whines, getting up in her chair to practically throw herself onto me. "okay, baby..." i pick her up and push her hair out of her face. "i have a room she can sleep in." ushijima looks at us. "really? that'd be amazing." 

ushijima gets up and throws away his trash before letting me follow him into his house. his house was hella nice. same like tendo's, very minimalistic but had pops of colors. it was warm as the a/c wasn't on so it let the natural heat come through. we walked down a hallway and ushijima opened a door to a normal looking room. 

"she can sleep here." he said and i nodded. "thank you, it'll probably be a while until she fully falls asleep so i'll catch you guys back out there." he nodded and left me and akari in the room. i set akari on the bed and her eyes drooped from the comfiness the bed was providing. i took her shoes off and placed them on the floor next to the night stand. i figured since it was already warm in the house that  she didn't need the covers on her.
