Taraji's POV

As I walk into the house I see that Ms.Deb and Uncle Danny are already here and they have two kids with them I wonder where did they come from. "Hey everybody" as they all replied I walked further into the house looking to see if those 2 of mines were already here I seen Keith but no Marcel. I walk up to him and slap him in the back of his head "boy where is your brother" "ouch ma why you had to slap me like that you can't be doing that and i don't know he said he had to do something he will be here later" "you will be alright and you better be prepared to get hit way harder then that son you are about to be head of it all which doesn't mean you still won't have to get your hands dirty" " yea I know that ma I have to show them niggas I may be young but I'm not to be played with I was talking to Lance over there he said he would also give me a few tips" "yea well you watch yourself with Lance he can be real slick and I'd hate to have to tell Uncle Danny i killed his son" "ok I gotchu ma I will keep my guard up" with that being said he walked away "Taraji" I turned around to see who called me and it was my father "Hey old man wassup?" "Hey baby girl I was just talking to Danny over here" "hey T how you been?" side eyeing "mhm I've been managing but I know you don't want any small talk so what's on your mind" " Well I actually wanted to see if you could talk some sense into that daughter of mines let her know that mafia work ain't that bad" daughter? I didn't know he had a daughter I thought to myself "I won't lie to her for you because you and I both know this work is not easy especially being a women having to prove yourself more than enough that you are capable" "Yea but you also was able to step up and take on those challenges like they weren't nothing and you turned out very successful" "yea but not everyone has it in them to do what I did and speaking of daughter I never knew you had a daughter I thought Lance was a only child" "Yes her name is Fantasia and she is supposed to be here tonight those are her kids over there and Zion her oldest is in the kitchen with the women" "Hmm I say and walk off" as I walk into the kitchen I see my mother and Ms Deb cooking while Zion I assume is just watching. "Hey ma is dinner almost ready" "yes is it actually just finishing up the final touches but we won't be eating until Marcel and Fantasia arrive" I look at her with a mug on my face because she knows I wanted to get this over with and wait til I see Marcel he knows how I am about punctuality "Well that just means I'll be leaving sooner I explained this to you" "You Taraji Henson will stay this whole dinner and where are your manners I know you see this child sitting here" putting a tight lip smile so my mother can see I'm not happy about that "My apologies hey beautiful how are you" she let's out a giggle "No problem and Hey Im Zion and and doing alright nice to meet you I loveee your dress you have to tell me where you shop" "Nice to meet you too I'm Taraji and I don't share my secrets but I might just have to take you there" she squealed clapping her hands " yesss I love shopping and then I can take you to one of my mothers stores" "well it's a date then I will have to find a time we are both free" it was nice to see that she was excited me only having boys I didn't get the luxury of having a shopping day it would be nice plus I like kids they are way more tolerable than adults.Walking in the living room I decided to get on my phone and wait for everyone else to arrive.
