PRESENT DAY
OMNISCIENT
6•12•24

After Thailand's shift he went to pick up Misty from daycare and took her home for the night. "Mommy!!" Misty ran up to him and hugged his legs. "Hey baby, you ready to go home?" She nodded her head and smiled grabbing onto her mom's hand as they walked to the car.

Thailand picked her up and put her in her booster seat then handed her a big ass stanley tumbler with bratz stickers. "I need more juice momma" "if you drank all that damn juice from that big ass cup you need yo ass whooped." Thai said looking back at her.

She shook her head and frowned, "Brandon poured it out mommy.." "the same damn Brandon that's been messing with you?!" Misty nodded as she put more stickers on her cup. "He pushed me today, and Ms Johnson not do nothing.." "Oh fo'real?" "Yup." Misty replied popping the 'p'. "Awe yeah I'ma have to talk to her ugly duckling lookin ass tomorrow."

Misty saw McDonald's coming into view and started craving chicken nuggets. "Mommy, may I get chicken nuggets?" "You got chicken nuggets money?" He raised a brow still looking forward. "No.." "awe okay." Misty rolled her eyes and folded her arms calling her mom all types of meanies in her head until Thailand pulled into McDonald's drive thru.

"You want da six or ten?" Misty held up all ten of her fingers with a smile on her face. Thailand smiled and decided to mess with her. "If you can spell it I'll get you ice cream as well." Misty's eyes lit up at the thought of ice cream. "T...en?" She spelled it out and Thailand clapped his hands proudly. "Good job baby!!" Thai had been teaching her words and numbers early and Misty had been a quick learner. Misty cheered in the backseat as her mom ordered her food and ice cream.

It's been an hour since they made it home and they were now doing their nightly routine after eating. Misty was bathing herself while Thai brushed his teeth. "Mommy?" He looked over at her after spitting out the toothpaste. "Hm?" Misty held out the towel and Thai knew she wanted him to wash her back for her. He grabbed the towel and washed her back gently and she leaned into his touch, after he was done he picked her up and wrapped a towel around her. "Dry off and put these on okay?" Misty nodded and dried her self and put on the lotion Thai gave her.

A few seconds later he came back with her pajamas. "You need help?" "No I wan do it myself." She put on her clothes all by herself and Thai pushed the stepping stool in front of the sink so she can brush her teeth, right after that he heard knocking at his door and that's when he remembered Carlos was coming over here. "Um.. finish brushing your teeth I'll go get the door, and don't forget to brush ya tongue too." Misty waved him off cuz she already knew that and Thailand kissed his teeth and walked down the hall to the front door.

He looked out the peephole and sure enough Carlos was standing outside. Thai opened the door and greeted him dryly. "Hey." He didn't receive a response, instead Carlos just walked into the house. "Where's my baby?" Thai scrunched his face up and smacked him in the back of his head. "Nigga don't just be walking up in hea like that, I said hey now have some manners and say it back nigga." Carlos looked down at him with his face scrunched up as well. "Mane you gon stop hitting me in my damn head na I said whea my baby at!?"

"Nigga don't be yelling in my damn house!" Carlos was about to say sum back when he heard little feet running towards them. "Mommy? You Otay?" Thai looked down at her and smiled. "Yeah I'm good.." she nodded and looked at the man curiously. "Ma who dat?" Carlos heart throbbed hearing his own daughter say that. "Um.. that's yo daddy babygirl.." she looked between the two before smiling. "You my daddy?" The man smiled and opened his arms for a hug as he crouched down to her height. "Y-yeah.." she jumped into his arms and he held her tightly.

Thai just looked at them as they hugged, Carlos looked so damn happy finally hugging his daughter that he felt bad about keeping her from him, but at the same time, he had a reason.

"You're so precious ." Carlos sniffed as he wiped at his eyes to keep his tears from falling. Misty noticed and wiped his face. "Why you crying daddy?" She tilted her head. "I just missed you, that's all." She nodded and looked back at her mom who was also crying. "You miss mommy too?" She pointed behind her and Carlos smiled softly. "Yeah, I do miss mommy, a whole lot."

"Mommy?" Thai hummed in response. "Give daddy a hug? He's crying?" Carlos chuckled and stood up with his arms open to hug Thai as well. The shorter rolled his eyes and laughed as he hugged him. "There. You feel better ya big ass baby?" "Nope" he pulled Misty into the hug as well which she gladly accepted. "Now I feel better." "You sooooo cringeyy" Carlos pinched his side and pulled himself out of the hug before Thai hit him back.

"Daddy, mommy?" Thai looked between her parents with a smile on her face. They both looked at her and she held out the remote. "Can we watch a movie together?" "Of course pretty girl." Carlos said and picked her up and walked towards the couch.

Thai sat down a little further from Carlos since Misty was in his lap and watched as misty struggled to type in a movie on Disney plus. Her dad noticed and was gonna help her but she didn't want help. "No I spell it my own self daddy" the man watched as she finally spelled 'frozen' and looked at Thai. "She's only four right?" The latter nodded his head slowly. "I've been teaching her how to spell colors and numbers, or the movies she like watching so if I'm busy she can do it herself, she's been a fast learner so far."

He smiled and looked down at the TV as the movie started. "Of course she is, her mommy was the top of our class in highschool." Thai rolled his eyes at him and turned his attention towards the movie. The slightly older man sighed heavily knowing it was gonna be hard to talk to him.

••••

After two Disney movies Misty was sound asleep in her father's arms, who was also sleeping. Thai stared at them with an unreadable expression, he doesn't know how to feel about him being here. Of course he's glad that the two of them finally reunited but it's the fact that he knows that man like the back of his hand, Carlos won't stay out the streets for no one. That jail time ain't did nun but make it worse, nah he gone wanna "get his get back" and shit like that.

And that's why he wasn't allowed to see Misty, then he got locked up while she was just two. Of course Thai look him to see him a few times before he stopped completely. He hated that his daughter had to see her father in such a predicament and he personally didn't want to see it either.

"You gon keep starrin?" Carlos spoke with his eyes still closed. "Boy shutup ain't nobody starrin at chu." Thai rolled his eyes and looked away when Carlos looked at him. "Where's her room?" "Down the hall to your right, it has her name on the door." He nodded and took Misty to her room and tucked her in bed before going back to Thai.

He sat next to him and crossed his arms over his chest. "Sorry bout earlier..I was a lil upset about something Ian mean ta get loud witcha." "Nah you good, Ian have no right to hit you, I apologize as well." Carlos nodded his head and looked him in his eyes,

He's still gorgeous as fuck..

"I'm..gonna try to get myself clean for yall okay?" Thai nodded his head, but he didn't believe him, he doesn't want another broken promise, or any reassurance. If Carlos is trying to change and do better then that's good for him, but Thai wants to see the change before he believes the words coming out his mouth.
