I got back in town yesterday from doing my very first interview with Jimmy Fallon. He was such a nice guy and a great conversationalist I had a great time on his show. We talked about the movie which he raved about, he said he wasn't able to make the premiere but he took his wife to see it on date night and they both loved it. We also talked about my family, music, and anything new coming up I didn't have any upcoming projects but I did announce that I'd be performing at the Grammys in February and that I was always working on new music so a new album may be in the works for next year but I honestly wasn't sure myself. I went right to bed when I got home and my wife and kids found me in bed asleep when they got home yesterday. Today we opened the center in the morning, today we decorated the center with Halloween decorations. We didn't do any trick or treating nor did we give out candy, but we threw a Halloween party in the last week of October. It was Saturday so we were getting ready to leave with the high schoolers to go deliver food to the surrounding shelters.
"Ma, we have a new highschooler, he can come with us too right?" Ari asked me when she came into the kitchen. I was helping the kids load the meals into boxes and the boxes that were filled the kids transferred to our bus.
"Yeah of course, what's your name sweetie?"
"Michael."
"Hi Michael, I'm Fantasia and it's so nice to meet you."
"You too ma'am."
"So today we're getting ready to deliver meals to the homeless shelters, you want to come?"
"Yeah, you deliver to every shelter?" He asked and I nodded. "Even Rosemarys?"
"Especially Rosemarys. You know her?" He nodded. I almost asked why, but I decided I'd just observe and mind my business for now. "Go wash your hands and you can help Aaron pack the paper bags."
"Mama wants to talk to you." I nodded. "I'll finish this and you can go see what she wants." I left the kitchen and went to find my wife. She wasn't in her office so I walked around poking my head into the classrooms to find her, I went into the bathroom and called her name.
"Taraji?"
"Tasia?" I walked toward her stall and I put my hand at the top of the door.
"Hey baby are you okay?"
"... Maybe."
"What's going on Mama?" She was silent for a moment before I heard her throwing up. I immediately got nervous. "Baby unlock this door right now." I waited very impatiently for her to open the door, and when she finally did she dropped to the floor against the toilet. "Mama, why are you throwing up?" I flushed the toilet and pulled her into my embrace.
"I don't know, I just started feeling nauseous and queasy and I had to throw up."
