Las Angeles ..Monday Morning 7:00

" Okay let's go get moving!" Taraji yelled from the kitchen. Keziah was in her room putting on her shoes while Dallas searched for clothes.

" I'm off to the studio baby" Fantasia said coming downstairs. " Okay love".

" I'm leaving! I want hugs come on" Fantasia said grabbing her purse. Harper ran over from playing with her toys. " Ouu I love youu" Fantasia hugged her tight.

Dallas was in a rush but he came down to hug her too. " I love you too boy go find a shirt" she hugged him then sent him away. Keziah came next. " I love you too girlie and stay out my makeup Kez".

" Ugh" Keziah went upstairs.

" And you.. I will see you tonight". Fantasia whispered. " Mhm okay.." taraji kissed her lips. " Mhm mhm I want another.." Fantasia patted her lips.

Taraji laughed and gave her another peck. Fantasia held her waist and pulled her into her before kissing her deeply. " Our daughter is present" Taraji pulled away.

" Mhm.. I love you". Tasia pecked her cheek. " I love you more. Get out of here before you start something with me you can't finish". She laughed.

" I always finish baby" Fantasia went to the front door and opened it. " Mhm whatever". Taraji went back to packing lunches.

" Okay I'm gone baby". " Alrighty".

Fantasia left the house.

" I don't hear enough movement. If I have to come up those stairs yall gonna have a rough morning!" Taraji yelled.

" I'm done! Seems like I'm the first as always" Kez came down and threw her backpack on the couch. Harper started to get fussy. " Come here Harp" Taraji said.

Harper came into the kitchen and Taraji picked her up and placed her in her high chair. She cut up some pancakes and sausages and gave them to her.

" Dude! Dallas got my new shoes all dirty I'm going to beat his a"-" Hey!".

" Sorry".

" Girl sit down so you can eat. If you two miss that bus I know something." Taraji gave her her plate.

" I'm done" Dallas came down. " About time. Come eat. The bus comes in 10 minutes" she handed him a plate as well.

Leaning against the counter she took a deep breath. This was an every day thing for her since her and Tasia got married. She didn't mind it though because she loved it her kids so much. Even if they weren't her blood besides Harper.

It did get difficult at times because she hasn't raised a child since she was in her 20s. But it wasn't always like this every morning. Fantasia took over as well so that Taraji could sleep in.

" Mama..mama!" Harper fussed. " Yes baby yes.." Taraji shushed her hair. " Juice". " Okay which one. Apple or Orange?".

" .. pole" Harper said. " Okay" Taraji gave her an apple juice and looked down at her watch.

" Here is your lunches. You don't have to eat all but eat half so I know you ate." She handed them their lunchboxes.

" I told you you don't have to keep packing my lunches. I can do them myself." Dallas basically snatched it from Taraji hands.

" ..Dal just because you are a teenager.. doesn't mean that I need to stop caring about you" Taraji spoke softly. " I don't need you too." He said.

" Dallas stop it. Taraji hasn't done anything to you so stop. You're so annoying." Kez rolled her eyes.

" you don't get tired of this. I appreciate you trying. But you're not my dad." He looked up at her. " But I am your mother".
