October 4, 2025I groaned as I heard Beyoncé call my name. I looked up to see her standing there, holding... well, I think it was Raiya. I'd need to see their faces or change them myself to be sure.
Beyoncé said, "Raiya, tell mommy to get up. You're hungry."
I sighed, slowly getting up. I was only in my panties and a big shirt, feeling pretty bummy. I yawned and reached out for Raiya as Beyoncé handed her to me.
I lifted my shirt, holding my boob out as Raiya latched on and started feeding.
I asked, "What time is it?"
Beyoncé replied, "It's 8."
I nodded. "Is Amora up?"
"Yeah, she is. I gave her medicine already."
We'd learned that Amora had something called HSCM—some long, complicated name I could barely remember. Her body produces clots that block her blood vessels, which was causing the seizures and pain.
She's on two different medications to manage it, and we need to do monthly check-ups. As long as she takes her meds, she shouldn't be in pain. All three of our girls had check-ups today: the twins' one-month appointment and Amora's follow-up. Beyoncé officially stepped down as Amora's doctor now that they know what's going on.
She's too traumatized from having to perform surgery on her own child. We're both going to therapy now, and today was packed with appointments, including our therapy session after theirs.
I glanced down at Ceraiya, who was already getting a little chunky.
I chuckled and said, "Your daughter eats way too much."
Beyoncé shot back with a smile, "Girl, fed my child and hush."
She left the room, and I couldn't help but smile. I still couldn't believe I had twins. How did I go from having just one to suddenly having three? It felt like a dream, but looking at them, I knew it was all worth it.
My phone started ringing, and I saw it was a FaceTime from Lena. After everything she did for my baby, we've become close, and she's even dating Solange now.
I'm so grateful to Lena for not giving up on Amora. She's Raiya's godmother, and Kelly is Romi's.
I answered with, "Hey Lena Beana!"
She laughed and said, "Hey boo, where's my baby?"
I angled the camera down to show Raiya, her little jaws moving fast as she ate.
Lena said, "Every time I see her, she's either asleep or on that damn titty."
I chuckled, "Girl, tell me about it. She eats too damn much."
