Fixing What Fell Apart

Babysitting

"You had to change up the game
Oh the weather is not the same
Now it's only cloudy days
I can't stand the rain
In July
It was fireworks exploding
But now it's getting colder
The leaves are turning colors,why?
It's just not our season
The one and only reason
Our summers turn into falls." Jhene Aiko ft Drake~ July

"Cinnamon toast crunch or Lucky Charms?" I asked my boys as I held up both boxes.

"Lucky charms!" The yelled causing me to flinch.

"Alright alright." I said pouring their cereal and milk and placing it infront of them.

"So what yall wanna do today?"

I loved spending time with my boys I've definitely learned a lot since they were born. I loved both of their mothers too. I thought Journey would be the one I'd settle down with and I do love her as more than a friend but we're like fire and ice.

"Let's go to the park and play football." Jerry said.

"Yea lets do that." Jay said agreeing with his big brother as always.

"The park it is" I said right before my phone began to ring.

"Wassup boss?"

...

"Right now?"

...

"Alright I'm coming."

"Shauni!" I yelled as she was upstairs sleeping. A few seconds later she came down.

"What J." She said as she came down stairs tightening her robe.

"I need you to watch the boys while I go handle something." She yawned and nodded

"We'll go to the park as soon as I come back." They nodded and I kissed the boys and then her before leaving.

I watched as he walked out mentally rolling my eyes. I began to walk back upstairs before Jerry stopped me.

"Wait aren't you gonna play with us." I rolled my eyes and turned to him.

"Play what?" He shrugged

"Well when you figure it out let me know." I was walking upstairs when I was stopped but this time by Jaylen.

"We can play hide and seek or twister." He said with his eyes lit up. Jerry nodded in agreement.

"Later."

"But-"

"I said later damn Jaylen!" I saw his lip began to tremble and I sighed out loud as I walked to him.

"You better not start" I said pointing my finger at him.

He took his small hand and moved my finger out his face causing me to draw my hand back and pop his arm.

"Oweee." He said beginning to cry.

These damn kids have no discipline then when someone tries to disciplines then then they cry.

"Why'd you hit him?" Jerry said running up to his brother and rubbing his arm.

I said nothing I just turned around and walked back upstairs. I took off my robe leaving me in a sports bra and boy shorts and got back into bed. I'm tired and I don't have time to be running after these bad ass kids.

4 hours later

I was awakened by an alarm going off. I jumped outta bed and ran downstairs only to be blinded by a cloud of smoke. I coughed as I fanned the smoke out of my eyes as I was looking for the boys. I gasped when I seen Jaylen and Jerry on the floor in the kitchen but instantly began coughing. I rushed to them scooping both of them into my arms and running out the house.
