📍1234 Madison Avenue New York
Waking up the next morning Sunlight shining through the curtains making the room light up
Turning around to see Antionio curled up in a ball in his spiderman pjs which left me shocked because he was supposed to be with keno
I sat up in bed eyes heavy, I looked over at Antionio and whispered " mi love yuh baby more than anything"
Antionio stirred in his sleep making me see him sucking his thumb something he only did when he felt extra safe
I smiled and kissed his forehead
I slipped out of bed stretched and fixed the bonnet on my head walked around to the side of the bed he was on
"nioooo ....... wake up my baby.... time to bath now "I said in a gentle voice
He stirred turning his face deeper into the pillow with a little grunt "nooo...... im sleepin' still"
I sat beside him on the bed and gently rubbed his back "come on mi nuh wah bathe yuh when you're still sleeping, you sweat the whole night sticky sticky"
I picked him up gently and he wrapped his legs around my waist like a koala, still half asleep with his head resting on my shoulder
I sat him on the counter while I got the water running, he rubbed his eyes and looked around
"I dream I was a flying breadfruit mommy" Antionio said
"Breadfruit can't fly baby" i said
He giggles softly as I stripped off his shirt and popped him in the bath, he whined a little when the water barely touches his skin "too coldddd........ I don't want to bath anymore mommy" he said grumpy
"Yuh nuh want? okay .... stink then stay stink" I said pretending to stop
He gasped and stared at me then pouted "nooo .... i want to be clean .... i want to smell nice like you"
I kissed his forehead and gently started to wash him, humming a lullaby as he relaxed in the water eyes slowly closing again
AFTER THE BATH......
I wrapped a warm towel around him lifting him gently into my arms his tiny hands hugging my neck as I carried him to the room
I laid him gently on the bed and dried him off humming a soft tune as he kicked his legs in the air still full of sleepy energy
His baby lotion sat on the dresser Johnson's with a purple cap I pour a little in my hand and started rubbing it into his small arms and legs
I slid on his tiny under shirt tucked it gently into his cartoon boxers then reached for his little shorts with smiling dinosaur on them
I grabbed his favorite yellow t shirt and slipped it over his curls Fastforward he fell asleep
I get up and head to kitchen keno already their shirtless tattoos exposed making coffee and humming a rap song and walking out as i entered and Jadon also shirtless fresh from a jog a bottle of water in hand
"Morning sleepy head" Jadon teased with a playful grin "Morning" I reply
"Yuh move early" I stated "Gotta stay pretty for the fans" he winked
I laugh and start boiling water for tea sorrel was done so I grabbed some cerasee from my stash
Jadon made a face "you ...... really drink that bitter stuff every day?"
"Mi grow up pan dis " I smiled "Good fi yuh body ...... and yuh heart" I said
"Heart? I'll pass. That shit smells like regret"
I laughed and keno walked back in just then hoodie on chains swinging yawning with his phone in hand
"Morning " he said in his deep voice "Morning " I replied
"Every day you drink this bitter bush tea and still look this good unfair" he said
I rolled my eyes but smiled my cheeks flushed before could stop it

Amira Pov.....
LATER THAT MORNING ......
we sat around the breakfast table Antonio finally awake and dipping toast into his cocoa like it was a grand event
"Mommy can I get syrup on my toast too?" he asked eyes wide
Keno leaned in "I gotchu king" Nio beamed "Uncle keno always have my back"
Those words hit me deep, he really did
Then ...... Jadon cleared his throat, looking up from his phone "Yo random... you ever been to Spanish town?" he asked
I froze my spoon paused mid-air keno glanced up from his egg's eyebrows raised slightly
"Why?" I asked causal but stiff "Some Jamaican blog posted about a girl that gone missing a few years ago, this story sound mad similar" Jadon said "Same name too Amira"
My heart started to pound hard keno sat up straight now watching me "you, okay?" he asked me
I forced a smile and replied "Yuh know how much Amira deh a Jamaica? mi name common"
"Right .... " Jadon said slowly "Just thought it was wild, I got up quickly picking up plates "Mi going to wash these"
I turned my back to them hands shaking in the sink water the truth was closer and soon someone was going to find it
I stayed at the sink even after the dishes were done my hands rested on the counter eyes locked on nothing
My body was here but my mind had gone home back to the day on the beach back to slap back to the day I disappeared from the world
I wiped her hands and walked to Antonio's room, he was sitting on the floor pushing toy cars around humming a cartel song Jadon had obviously introduced him to " Yuh cah catch me speedin', zoom zoom
"Baby" I said kneeling beside him he looked up with curious eyes "Yes mommy?"
"You happy here?" I ask him he grinned "YEAH man uncle keno gimme juice and Uncle Jadon play football wid mi dem nice"
I smiled but it didnt reach my eyes "What if ...... one day yuh have to go somewhere else?"
