Episode 4: Red White and Blue
Omniscient pov
July 4th
——————————————————
It was the Fourth of July, and Beyoncé's house looked like Pinterest exploded. Red, white, and blue decorations covered every inch of the yard. Grill smoke curled into the air. Kids ran wild. Speakers played Megan Thee Stallion.
Inside, Beyoncé was already annoyed.
B: Whose idea was it to let Sir have a sparkler UNSUPERVISED when you know that lil nigga is suicidal??
Ka: He said he knew what he was doing!
S: I do!
B: you almost burned my house down!
S: YOU ALMOST BURN THE HOUSE DOWN EVERY TIME YOU COOK!
B: GO TO BED!
S: WHAT?
B: GO UPSTAIRS AND GO TO BED BEFORE I GO GET MY SHOE!
O: Giselle, it's a holiday. Please don't threaten our son before the food is even served
She glared at him. He stuck his tongue out and ran.
B: I- ONIKA DID YOU SEE THAT?
O: no I didn't come help me put the food outside
Beyoncé helped her wife with the rest of the food then the rest of the family started arriving. Tina in her deep red. Jay with his plate already in hand. Jayden surprisingly early with his twins. Kelly and Tim dragging Titan and Tristian behind them.
Blue's friends, Amaya and Layla. Letoya, Latavia, and Michelle each holding a dish and sharing auntie gossip.
Then Zaina shockingly pulled up mid-party... holding a baby.
M: Umm... who baby that is?
Michelle whispered to bey and the girls.
B: h- hey baby..
Zaina smiled nervously, adjusting her grip on the tiny girl with soft curls and big sleepy eyes.
Z: This is Ivy... she's mine
The whole backyard collectively blinked. Beyoncé's mouth parted. Kelly dropped her soda.
B: ...okay! When did you have her baby?
Z: well she's almost one.. her birthday's at the end of the month if you guys wanna come
B: yea..of course we'll come
Z: okay
Zaina nervously smiled before walking away. Beyoncé looked to onika then jay.
B: why didn't she tell us? Why wouldn't she want us there?
J: you think it's because of that fight
B: but that just a silly disagreement I'm her mother I should be there when my baby has a baby Jay!
Beyoncé voiced cracked. Jay wrapped arms around her trying to calm her down.
J: we figured everything out...let's just enjoy our daughter and our granddaughter for now okay?
She nodded.
Meanwhile:
Sir, Gigi, and Tristian were running laps around the house in costumes made of flags.
Blue, Amaya, and Layla were whispering by the cooler. Amaya pulled out a Twisted Tea.
Bl: What are you doing??
Am: Girl it's just tea with a little sum in it don't be a baby
Blue, not wanting to be lame, took a sip. And instantly regretted it. The rest of the day she was convinced she was drunk. She sat quietly on the patio muttering things.
Bl: oh God I think I'm losing coordination and I can't feel my tongue...Do I look drunk? Does mom know!?? Oh no she knows everything!!
Gigi walked by holding a water gun:
G: what are you doing?
Blue screamed.
Bl: nothing! Why? do I look suspicious??
G: yea you're acting like you killed somebody...calm down this isn't a good look on you blue
Bl: oh??
Later on Jayden pulled Beyoncé and Jay to the side.
Ja: So um... I'm just gonna say it so-
B: spit out boy!
Ja: okay okay...so she's- she's pregnant
Beyoncé and Jay stood there, frozen. Then, in perfect unison, they turned and walked away.
Bey: anyways
As the sun started setting, fireworks lit up the sky. The kids were wrapped in blankets on the grass. Ivy fell asleep on Zaina's chest. Beyoncé watched her from the porch, concern deep in her eyes.
B: She's hiding something
O: hm...maybe she just needs time
B: or a push
O: Giselle
She huffed.
B: fine!
