🎶🎶"Jesus can work it out." "Jesus can work it out." "That problem that I had...I stop worry 'bout it, gave it over to the Lord he worked it out." 🎶🎶🎶The elderly lady sings, as she happily made breakfast.

"Hey Big Ma." Zac muffles, walking into the kitchen, tiredly. He walks over to his grandmother giving her a kiss on the cheek, "Hey My Peanut." His grandmother says happily as she continued to cook breakfast.

Zac then walked over to his daughter dragging his feet along, while she's in a bouncer sitting on the kitchen table.

His daughter starts to smile while jerking herself, seeing her father as she cooed and babbled, "Hello Munchkin." He uttered playfully, taking her out the bouncer, flooding her with kisses.

"How was work Peanut?" His grandmother asked sitting his plate down in front of him so that he could eat.

"It was alright Big Ma." He sighed, having a seat at the table.

"What's wrong wit'cha Peanut?" She asked observing his body language and demeanor. "As a matter of fact you didn't come home last night, what happened ta ya?"

"I didn't have a ride home." Zac confessed.

"Peanut, you know you could've called me. Or at least called for some Uber money.." she told him, taking his daughter from his arms so he could eat.

"I can't do that, Big Ma." "Yes you can." "But what about your medicine?" "Baby I told you don't worry about that nah. Jesus gon' make everything alright you just wait and see." She encouraged.

Zac nods, grimacingly...

"So how'd ya get home?" "Well, I was gonna come earlier but decided to do a double so I can have today off. I got two tips last night, so I used one of them to get home this morning." He explained.

"Well look at God." His grandmother cheered.

Zac smiles, "so what's the problem and what happened to the other tip?" She asked giving Zac a look.

"Huh?!" "Zachary..." "Ok," Zac uttered getting serious, because when his grandmother uses his first name he knows she means business.

"Well I helped two seasoned women get to their gate and I even helped with their bags. They gave me a $100 tip and Danni took it." He explained.

BAM!!! Munchkin starts to cry being startled by the sound, "That Heffa." Big Ma shouts with anger.

"Hang on Big Ma. Where you going?" "I'm going to get yo money." She said, handing over Munchkin, then storming off.

"Shit! Big Ma WAIT!" Zac shouted abruptly putting his fork down while hanging over to his daughter tight as he rushed off to catch his grandmother.

Big Ma is putting on her sneakers at the door, "No because I'm sicka that damn Heffa and them other ones messing with you." "Big Ma it's cool." Zac says, as his body and Munchkin blocked the doorway.

"You don't owe them heffas NOTHING you hear me." "Yes Big Ma I hear you but it's not worth it." He says, trying to keep calm.

"You got a whole daughter and they always trying to take money from your pockets.." "I know and you're right but until I find another job and the courts make the judgment, I gotta work my way through this." He told her calmly.

"Fine but let ha come for you again and that Heffa and that dang on sister cult is gon catch these bullets." She voiced strongly, taking her shoes off. "Cause you know my arthritis is bad, nah." "I hear you Big Ma." "I can't throw hands like I used to but I promise my bullets are just as lethal.." "Yup they sure are Big Ma." Zac chuckled, shaking his head, as they went back to the kitchen.
