{AN: Jehari's name is pronounced Juh-Har-Ee.}
I woke up extra early to cook breakfast. Romeo was still asleep and so was my mom, so I had some music softly playing.
Bryson Tiller's Don't played as I whipped up cinnamon pancakes, blueberry muffins, bacon, and scrambled eggs.
Once breakfast was finished, I cleaned up my mess and made everyone's plate.
Going upstairs, I woke Mama up and went to my room.
"Wake up Montana!" I yelled.
Romeo jumped up and mugged me.
"Girl, you almost got whipped."
"Happy birthday niglet." I kissed him.
"Lucky you fine as wine in the summertime. I smell food."
I laughed and drug him downstairs just as Mama's nurses switched.
"Have a blessed day Nicole." I said to the night nurse as I handed her a plate.
"You as well."
"Imma try to feed Mama. Enjoy your breakfast babe."
"Thanks beautiful." Romeo grinned.
I went upstairs and into Mama's room where she watched a soap opera.
"Mama, you hungry?"
"No I'm fine sweetness." Mama smiled weakly.
"I made blueberry muffins though. Please try to eat something for me." I begged.
"Okay child."
She took the plate from me and picked up the muffin, biting into it. I smiled as she slowly ate it.
"Girl, who taught you how to cook?"
"My mother."
"Oh sooky sooky now! Tell ya mama I said she blessed."
I laughed at my mother as she ate.
"Where my son in law? Ain't today his Glo day?"
"His what Mama?" I raised an eyebrow.
"His Glo day. What?"
"Where'd you get that from lady?" I sat next to her.
"Romeo taught me. Speaking of, Happy G Day homie!"
I turned to see him standing in the doorway with a stupid grin.
"Thanks G!"
They hugged and Romeo placed me on his lap. Mama turned to Wild 'N Out and we all got comfortable.
"What's the word for the day Romeo?"
"Chillin' with y'all and have dinner with the family. That's all I want today."
"Awe. You so sweet."

Romeo
I spent the whole day in Mama's room with her and Jeh. I had multiple birthday wishes and I was thankful for them all.
Right now, Jehari was preparing dinner while Mama and I caused hell by making Vines.
I swear we talked about every damn body. You know how DC Youngfly does his videos? That's what we did.
"Uh, time to put the phone away and get ready for dinner. Ma, Pops, and everyone else is on the way. Hurry up!"
Mama and I looked at each other like "is she talking to us". But we got dressed anyways.
Since it was my birthday, I decided to dress however. That meant a white tee, black Robins jeans, and Jordan Retro 5 Oreos.
As soon as I made it to the bottom step, the doorbell rang. I huffed and opened the door revealing Ty, Romello, Kelly, and JoJo.
I guess my parents were already here since I heard my mother's voice.
"Happy birthday gay ass chicken head ass mean lookin' ass boy! You twenty foe hoe!" Romello shouted.
"Bitch get out little dick ass nigga!"
"It was cold that night."
I hugged everybody and then Romello violated me by squeezing my ass.
"Daddy, Mello gay!" I ran behind my dad.
"No, you just got a fat ass."
"Nigga you gay!" Dad and I said together.
"I gets pussy!"
"Kill the visuals Jesus!" My mom dramatic ass fell to the floor.
"Dinner is served everyone!" Jehari came from the kitchen.
"Jehari! I missed you boo." Mello hugged her.
We all sat down and ate dinner as we talked. Mama barely touched her food and I saw the hurt in Jehari's eyes.
"He has His hands on her baby." I reminded her.
"I know. Who wants cake?" She cleared her throat.
"Yas bish yas!" Ty said loudly.
"Watch your mouth boy!" Ma yelled at him.
"My bad."
Jehari brought out a homemade birthday cake and some candles. They sung Happy Birthday to me and I blew out my candles.
"What'd you wish for?"
"Nothing. I got what I want."
I pulled Jehari into my lap and kissed her. Then she stood me up and led me to the basement as everyone followed.
"Happy birthday Romeo."
I stood in awe before looking at her.
"How did you? What the fuck? Damn bro."
"You like it?"
"Hell yeah baby!"
"Party at Romeo crib!" Ty said as he walked around the room.
"Hell no!"
"Hell yeah!" My dad retorted.
While everybody looked around the room, Mama slipped a small box into my hands. I looked at it and sat on the steps next to her. Opening it, I saw a shining silver pair of dog tags.
"What's this?"
"A token of my appreciation. It may not be much, but it's special to me. It was my husband's from when he fought in the war. I always said it would go to my son in law."
I took the tags out of the box and examined them. They had Lt. Wilson inscribed into them.
I put the tags around my neck and hugged Mama, wiping a tear from her eye.
"Than you beautiful. I'll cherish them forever. I love you Mama." I kissed her cheek.
"Love you too child. Love you too." She chuckled softly.
-----------------------------------------------
Everyone was now gone and Mama was sleep, so Jehari and I laid in our bed.
"Did you enjoy your birthday?"
"Mmhm. Thank you baby. I really appreciate it."
"Welcome."
We kissed and before I knew it, I was making love to her all night long.
