Caleb's POV

A not even 12:00 yet and dem pickney yah ago mad me.

I rub my hands down my face "Lani, just stop cry nuh please."

She starts hiccuping "I want mommy."

Me want her too.

I pick her up and pace around the room.

Praying to God that it helps, but that doesn't work.

"If daddy buys you ice cream tonight will you stop crying?"

At this point mi willing fi try anything including bribing.

This catches her attention, she nods.

Really yuh mada's child.

Lynn starts jumping up and down on the bed. "Me too daddy."

"Me too what?" I ask.

"Me too daddy. I cream pwease." Then she sticks her finger in her mouth.

At the sound of the word ice cream Cayden's head that was buried in his iPad snaps up. "And me."

Lawd God help me.

Nuh call God name now. Yuh set a trap and walk straight inna it.

To rass.

Setup mi own self.

Guess we a go Devon house later.

"Come man. Time for breakfast." I huddle them up.

Picking up Lynn I go to help Cayden from the bed but he jumps off using his one good hand to secure the iPad .

"That's why yuh hand inna cast inna di first place."

He laughs like I said something funny and then we all move to the kitchen.

I help them up in their chair and take the ipad from Cayden.

He starts pouting "If mommy was here your screen time wouldn't even start so early."

He doesn't respond but still sits there wid him mouth long from yasso go straight a Mobay.

Mouth long up like Jayda own

I move to the cupboard and take down the container labeled cereal then the milk from the fridge.

I distribute the cereal in the plates, pour the milk over it and hand each of the three kids a plate with a spoon.

Cayden does a double take of the cereal in front of him.

Him mada probably nuh gi dem dis fi breakfast.

"Daddy I want porridge." He says.

"Porridge done. Drink cereal." I respond.

"But mommy-"

I interrupt him "Mommy isn't here. Daddy's in charge."

Cause me want know who tell him mi can make porridge.

She woulda surely make porridge fi dem.

Or mi can bother her fi spend the weekend.
