Instead of heeding my words, click after click sounds from my phone Shyla filling my camera roll with just Zoey feeding.
I snatch my phone from her palms, shoving her off my bed. "Please go bathe gyalie"
The sound of her feet whacking against the porcelain tiles conveys her departure.
Leaving me to swipe through the pictures. In awe of every single one.

Maleek enters the room with a tie lined loosely around his neck.
The phone elevated for him to see the photos. "Look at these." I showcase, his fingers brushing against mine when he takes the device.

Eyes big and bright she stares back up at me. "Baby no usually wear white fi them christening?" Maleek asks, turning to face me.
