"Mmm this is so good" I said chewing.
It was around two in the morning and I was in the kitchen eating Honey Nut Cheerios with relish. I was staying at ja'rod's house, everyone else was asleep.
"Ugh oh my god" I moaned before taking another bite, doing a little dance as the flavors mixed together in my mouth.
"The fuck are you doing?" I hear a deep voice mumble causing me to freeze.
"Nothing"
I felt strong arms wrapping around me and lips on my neck.
"Why you up dis early mama?"
I frowned before I started talking, "I was sleeping but I woke up because I was so hungry"
"Mmm" he hummed and he rocked us side to side.
I took another bite of my snack before he spoke up again, "what the fuck you eatin'?"
"Cheerios and relish" I smiled, "it's so good"
Ja'rod backed away from me before snatching the bowl away from me causing tears to come to my eyes.
"Why would you do that"
"Don't be feedin' my seed that shit—for he come out wit' three arms" he mumbled grabbing some caramel rice cakes and peanut butter.
"But that's what the baby wanted" my lip quivered.
Fucking pregnancy hormones making me even more sensitive. I thought to myself.
"I don't care, that shit is not right—Cheerios and relish should not be mixed"
I put my head down as tears began running down my face. I understand where he was coming from but why does he have to be so harsh with it.
"Here" he slid a plate to me with peanut butter on the rice cakes with mozzarella cheese on top.
My eyes lit up seeing that be made my favorite snack at the moment. I let out a deep breath.
"You really are so so sweet" my voice cracked as I began eating.
"Why you bout to cry?" He chuckled.
"Because—I don't know" I said rubbing my eye before yawning.
"You tired?"
"Mhm"
"Come on" he grabbed my hand and we walked back into his bedroom. I laid flat on my back as he laid on my side.
"Hol' up yo' shirt, I wan talk to my spawn"
"Stop calling our daughter your spawn" I chuckled, lifting up my shirt.
I smiled seeing ja'rod rubbing and talking to my stomach like the baby was already fully formed.
After we sat down and had a deep conversation and I spoke with my therapist, I've decided to keep the baby. And seeing ja'rod like this makes me happy I made that decision.
I snapped back into reality once he kissed my cheek, "what was that for?"
"No reason" he shrugged.
"Okay" I smiled.
"You gotta stop calling our son a girl though—he said it's fuckin' wit' him" he spoke causing me to let out a loud laugh.
"How is our daughter gonna get mad because I'm calling her our daughter"
"Nah it's a boy"
"No we gotta have a girl now—we already have a boy, we can have the best of both worlds"
"We already got a boy?" he repeated my statement with a smile.
I nodded, "yea—Kaiser would love to have a little sister, he would be the best big brother regardless"
"Man you gon' make me put another baby in you"
"Nooooo, you already sat me down for nine months" I chuckled as I rubbed my eye.
"Aight let's go back to sleep" he pulled me closer.

Omniscient
"Hey mommy" Destiny said as she gave her mother a side hug.
"Hey baby, how you?" Ronda said walking into her living room.
Destiny let out a sigh, "I'm good, a lot has happened and I haven't seen you it a while"
"It's been a week since you've seen me destiny but okay" Ronda laughed, "but tell me what's been going on"
"Okay so first ja'rod's mother has breast cancer"
"Oh no poor baby, how is he doing?"
"Not well but he says he's fine" she frowned.
"Well tell both of them I'm praying for them"
"Okay"
"So what's the other things?" Ronda asked.
"Well I—"
Destiny was cut off by the door slamming shut and Dion walking inside with a smile on his face.
"Hey momma, sister" he gave both of the women kisses on their heads, "wassup wit' yall"
"Nothing" Ronda said, "why are you here and why are you smiling?"
"A nigga can't smile or sum'?"
"I've never seen you this happy it's like weird, where's my brother at?"'Destiny spoke.
"Your brothers right here, but aye look I got some news ta' tell yall"
"Oh lord" Ronda said.
"I'm in love" he said causing the mother and daughter to burst out in laughter.
Dion smacked his lips before mugging them as they laughed at him.
"What yall laughing fa?"
"Dion you are not in love" Destiny said.
"How would you know, youn even talk ta' me no more so ion even wan' hear nothin' from yo' fake ass"
"Dion don't talk to your sister like that" Ronda chuckled.
"I am not fake and I do talk to you—we text all the time!"
"But we FaceTime twice a month and see eachother in person like once a month" Dion argued.
"So I have stuff to do" Destiny shrugged, "but we can meet up more I guess"
"Awww my sister love me again" Dion smiled, "but anyways I'm in love and I got ha' name tatted"
"And I'm pregnant!"
Both Destiny and Dion spoke at the same time causing Ronda to shake her head.
"My son is a man whore who thinks he's in love and probably got a strippers names tattooed on his body to have for life"
"Well she an exotic dan—"Dion was cut off by his mother.
"And my daughter is pregnant by a gang banger who has an eating disorder and is trigger happy"
Destiny and Dion looked down before Ronda spoke again, "well guess what guys"
"What?" Dion asked looking at his mother.
"I do not care—yall grown" Ronda shrugged.
"Ima be an uncle!" Dion exclaimed jumping up.
