All In The Family

CJ

I'm ready to go already, and the killing part about it is we just made it here.

"Welcome visitors, enjoy the service" this lady say to us as she handed us a program.

"Thanks we will" Tori say then we walk into the sanctuary finding somewhere to sit.

Tori was heading like almost to the front until I pull her back. "Nah baby we gotta sit in the back, you know that's where all sinners be in the back".

"I'm not about to deal with you CJ" we sat down and came in Jay and August.

"Is that CJ I see, I thought you"wasn't coming" Jay say taking a seat next to Tori.

"I only came cause I know after service we going out to eat so mind as well be here".

It start getting pack and the choir began to sing, they was pretty good. All I know is that the preacher bet not be long, I haven't ate nothing this morning so this need to be quick.

Sanai

While the pastor was preaching and I was enjoying the word cousin CJ turn around to ask me for some gum.

"Nai I know you got some gum or candy in your purse" he say while whispering loud enough for me to hear.

"Sorry I don't, ask my mom or cousin Tori. You distracting me I'm trying to listen".

"Girl please you back there on your phone just like Caleb and them".

"CJ if you don't shh amd turn around" Tori tell him causing me and Lonnie to giggle.

"What time does church end I'm ready to eat and go to sleep" Jaxon say putting his down.

I made him sit up. "In a minute you worse than CJ, we'll be out of here soon".

"When soon? I'm not use to this, I normally be in the back with the little kids".

"Well you're not little anymore" I see he hasn't been to church in the while, we gonna have to start going every often I see.

Austin

"If you need prayer and want the Lord to do something in your life come on down so I can pray for you" the pastor say as the ushers stood at each pew to see if anyone would get up.

"Come on Austin I want you to come up there with me" Ashley say looking at me to see if I would get up.

"I don't know about that babe, I don't let anybody pray over me. Nine times out of ten they be having problems of their own and before you know it I have they spirits on me" I tell her, no offense I just don't let folks pray over me.

"You can't be serious"?

"Look at my face, I'm not going up there".

"Man stop being like that, Mimi and I about to go up there" Caleb say.

"That's because you need prayer make sure you take your pops to".

They left to go up to get prayer while I stayed in my seat along with pops, CJ, Jaxon, and Kesean. The rest of them went up there, "Now you know you need prayer all them demons you got up in you" CJ say to me while shaking his head.

He should be up there while he talking about me. "Really well if I need to be up there you should to" I say getting some gum out of Ashley purse.

CJ then had is hand out, "If you don't give me some gum I will tell her when she come back to her seat".

I went on and gave him a piece, until this elderly lady came to me with a piece of kleenex in her hand. "Oh no thank you I'm good" I tell her as she try to handed it to me, I already knew what that meant which is spit the gum out.

"Boy you better spit that gum out" CJ turn around putting his two cents in, I shouldn't never gave him nothing. I spit the gum out then she left, I only did it to be obedient.

"That what you get doing all that chewing wh- damn I mean shoot, You made me spit my gum out fooling with you" while CJ was picking with me his gum end up falling out of his mouth.

"What goes around comes around huh" I chuckle then the people start returning back to their seats. We prayed and finally church was over with now its time to eat.

August

Church was over and you know how people be they always gotta hug and kiss on you. I held Jay hand as she was talking to some lady, this feel like when I was a kid and you ready to go but your mom end up having a whole conversation.

"I was nice seeing you talk to you later" Jay said then we began to walk out the door.

"It's about time I was just about to leave you" I tell her as we walk to the car.

"What I can't help that people want to stop and talk to me, you know they wanna speak and hug".

"I see that now, where we headed" I open the door for so she could get in.

"I don't know out to eat cause I'm not cooking, go ask them want they want to eat".

"Well if I have to pick they don't have no say so" I got into the driver side starting up the car when AJ pull up next to my car.

"What you cooking mother"? AJ ask Jay.

"Boy nothing, we trying to figure out where we going to eat at".

"Let's go to Olive Garden" AJ say.

"Nah I'm picking, we all going to Red Lobster. Make sure you tell Nai and them" I tell him then drove off.

Soon as we pull up to Red Lobster, the rest of them was already there waiting by the car. I got out then help Jay out the car, "So you paying for all of us"? Nai ask me holding onto my arm while smiling up at me.

"I guess I could pay for everybody".

"My man see this why I love you and Jay, y'all take care of me" CJ say. I laugh at his crazy ass then we all headed in.

Jiraya

"My question is how come the three of you didn't get up for prayer"? I ask Aug, Austin, and CJ.

"See momma I don't know what type of demons they got, and I wasn't trying to catch there's. I'm already dealing with my issues".

"I'm with Austin but he end up getting in trouble with one of the ushers" CJ say while taking a sip if his lemonade.

"What you do"? I ask him.

"It wasn't nothing bad she just made me spit out my gum, but CJ end up cussing in the church".

"Nah hold up Jay he went into Ashley purse and got some gum. Stealing while in the house of the Lord, can you believe him Jay" I was so done with them especially CJ.

"Really Austin you went in my purse" Ashley ask him.

"Yeah to only get gum and CJ got a piece to".

"So y'all snitching on each other now" Caleb say.

"Don't act like you innocent cause apparently you was on your phone" Lonnie say.

"Hush Lonnie ain't nobody ask you, Sean get your girl".

Our food finally came and we began to eat.

Ashley

I enjoy service today and now we all together enjoying each other, I'm glad that Austin have his mom back. To tell you the truth I don't think if I could handle Austin being all down but he pull through.

I began to eat until I felt something wet go down my leg, "Uh oh" was all I can say.

"What's wrong"? Austin ask me.

"My water just broke" soon as I said that Austin hop up out of his seat picking my me up bridal style heading out the restaurant, making our way to the hospital.
