••Braxton's P.O.V••

4:37 a.m

"Braxton wake up come see what Santa bought me." 

Why was these lor niggas up so early ? Who be up 4 in the morning on Christmas ? "I'm coming." I told my lor cousin. It was me my sister, my sister fiancé and a whole bunch of my cousins at my grandma house. Half of them all young and shit but it's been cool spending time with them.

I'm tired af. I was up all night thinking bout deja. I'm getting her back. She obviously forgave me if she admitting that she loves me so I'll claim her before somebody try and steal her heart.

"Braxton look." My baby girl Harmony said holding up her Dora doll. "That's cute baby girl." I told her. Harmony was the youngest grandchild. She was the sweetest too.

"Here Braxton." My grandma said handing me a box. "Thanks." I said yawning. I just sat there and stared to the wall til I heard a loud noise that woke my ass right up. "What was that?" I asked. My grandad came downstairs "what's all that noise ?" He asked. Everyone shrug their shoulders. The sound of glass shattering and another loud popping noise was heard. My sister was the first one to run upstairs. Scared ass.

"Braxton take the kids upstairs in my room. " my grandma said walking towards the door. "Ard and you be careful grandma." I told her. 

"Come on yall." I said picking up one of the twin boys and harmony who was tryna take her pink bike upstairs that she got. I laughed. "You can play with it later okay?" I told her and she nodded.

We was all in grandma room. I looked out the window to see what was going on. A car had ran into the tree right in front of my grandma house. Smh they had to been drunk or speeding or something , the car was flipped over laying in front of her lawn. That shit was fucked up. "I wanna see." One of the twins said . I think this one was Brandon idek fr. "Nosey." I said pulling back the curtains so he can see the car. "Damn." He said. "Boy watch your mouth. He only 5 years old talking about some damn.

Everybody had feel asleep on the bed. It's about 8 of us and all of us was in that one bed uncomfortable ashit. I got up and went downstairs to check on my pops and grandma. They was outside talking to some lady and the police. I grabbed the box that had my name on it and opened it up. It was a card from my mom and a box that had a frame with a picture of her holding me when I was first born. I opened it up the card

To a special someone wishing you merry Christmas and happy holidays.

The outside read.

Though we may not be together during this special weather your always in my heart . Love always ma.

I shed a tear at the thought of my mom.
Wait hold the fuck up. How she know that we may not be together? How she know that we weren't gonna be together this Christmas? did she know she was gonna die? Was this shit planned out ?

••Shay's P.O.V••

We was all sitting in the living room opening gifts making memories spending time together. I was lowkey upset cause I was already getting pampers and shit for the baby. "It was on sale." Chris said. I mugged the shit out of him and opened up this pandora box that had a bracelet in it that was filled with green charms. "Aw baby this is cute thank you." I said pecking his lips. "You welcome bae." He said kissing me back. "Ewww." Marquis said  walking under the tree looking for more toys. "Shut up." I said laughing.

"Here deja." I said handing her 2 gifts. "I hope you like them." She smiled and opened the gifts. I got her a Red Sox jersey some high wasted jeans and jewelry to match , & I got here some lotion from bath and body works cause her ass stay ashy. "Thanks bookie." She said "your welcome. I got a New York Mets jersey so maybe one day we can twin."  "Yasss." She said.
