"Every time I come to see the baby, she's sleeping or eating," Taj said coming in and looking at a sleeping Crystal

It was our official first show. I'm always the last one to get ready. Crystal today was quiet. I guess since we had to wake up early.

So she's been sleeping ever since we got here.

"Yeah she's pretty tired from all the running around we did," Tamika said. 

I was dressed I just needed my makeup done.

"She needs to wake up...so she won't be up all night," Tamika said picking Crystal up.

And Crystal woke up. She looked around and yawned.

" Hey Mama," Tamika said lightly.

She didn't say anything just stared into space. She put Crystal on her feet and Crystal held onto Tamika's pants

"Hi Crystal," Taj said

Crystal waved and walked to Kandi raising her arms up. 

"Hold on pooh," I said.

Crystal huffed and continued with her arms up.

"Mamaaa," she said whining.

"Ok, I'm done," I said getting up.

I picked her up and just looked around.

Until she saw some food in Tamika's hand.

"Dada," She said with her hand out.

"My gosh, I can't have anything," She said passing the fries to Crystal.

Crystal started eating the fries.

"Are you ready to go TT Carmon?" I asked Crystal.

"Uht Uht," She said eating.

"Why not" I frowned.

"Stay wif Mommy," she said.

"Mama gotta perform," I said walking out with Taj and Tamika.

She didn't say anything but continued eating her fries.

After we did a group prayer. Carmon walked up to us.

Crystal clinged on me.

"C'mon Crystal pooh," Carmon said with her hands out.

"You're gonna see them in a minute," Carmon said grabbing Crystal.

Crystal started tearing up.

"You'll see us in a few minutes, baby," I said pecking her lip.

"Yeah, don't cry" Tamika said pecking her lips and wiping her eyes.

"CMON SCOTTS" Tiny yelled.

"Bye pooh," We both said

We walked over to the stage and SWV was already performing.

"Hey they was asking to cut time they wanted if Crystal can come on stage in her headspace," Tiny said.

"And do what" Me and Tamika both said.

"I don't know like just make a conversation with I guess," Tiny said.

"If she acts right" I said.

~~~~~

It was time for Crystal to come out.

"Alright y'all try to keep it down when she comes out," I said sitting in a chair.

"Alright bring me my baby," I said in the mic.

Tamika sat next to me.

Carmon walked out with Crystal on her hip.

People went crazy.

"Hey baby," I said grabbing Crystal and sitting her on my lap.

"What's your name," I asked pointing the mic to her mouth.

"Pooh," she said.

Everyone started laughing.

"Your name is not Pooh," I said playfully.

"My name is Pooh," she said.

"It's Crystal," I said.

She looked at Tamika.

"Pooh who do love the most" Tamika asked.

"Say, mama," I said.

"Mama," she said.

"Ahh," I said laughing.

"No pooh, say Dada," Tamika said.

"Dada," She said.

"Ha," Tamika said sticking her tongue out.


A few minutes later after playing and dancing with Crystal, it was time to perform.

"Bye pooh-pooh,"  I said to her.

She held Carmon's hand and walked away off the.

"Ok WHOS READY FOR SWV AND XSCAPE TO PERFORMMM," I said getting the crowd hype.

A few months later.

Tamika's Surprise Vacation.

𝐂𝐫𝐲𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐥

It was nighttime and was went back to our Airbnb. We had went to the club to celebrate.

Now we were surprising Tamika again with her gifts.

"Man I'm tired—" she said went she walked to the master bedroom.

"Yall," she said.

"Surprise" Me and Kandi said.

"Thank you," She said kissing both of us.

She had opened all of her gifts and she said she loved all of them.

Andddd after thank we fucked about for a good 2 hours. Tamika and Kandi were asleep and I was the only one up.

I looked at the TV and Tamika kept rubbing my stomach. Which was weird. 

No one knows this but I auditioned for a Tyler Perry TV show named Sistas. So I'm anxiously waiting for an email.

I was texting Simone how I was feeling. Then I got an email. I quickly opened it and read it.

I almost started screaming.

I took a Screenshot. And screamed the inside.

I always wanted to be an Actor since I was little. But I was always told that I couldn't because of my condition.

I couldn't wait for this new career.
