Montana & Jessica's son Tae in the media.

JESSICA
We've been on vacation with Montana for two weeks. We flew to Minneapolis to the Mall of America and went on a wild ass shopping spree. We stayed there for two days and shopped both days. We flew to Ohio and went to the amusement park Cedar Point three days in a row. Then Montana decided to fly to Florida so we could go to Legoland so Amari could really enjoy himself since he's only three. We stayed in Florida a few more days and went to the amusement and water parks. Now, we're in Cozumel Mexico enjoying our last day on vacation.
I'm glad I got the kids' school work before we left. Montana and I helped them out so they won't be behind when they go back.
"Don't drop him." I say to Reign as she holds Amari in one arm while talking to Ant on the phone. "He wanna talk to you." she says, passing me the phone.
I grab a blue tee shirt that says Cozumel Mexico with turtles and starfish on it for Amari, then take the phone from her. "Hey." I say. "Yall coming home tomorrow, right? I miss you and my kids, Jessica. And I set up an appointment with a marriage counselor. I heard she real good." he says. "Okay." I say. Montana and I have been friendly on this vacation. We only had sex a couple of times when we got drunk on a tequila tour when we first got here but other than that, we haven't done anything. No flirting, no nothing.
"You been fucking him some more? Jessica, you had two weeks to think. I'm ready to try to work it out. I haven't fucked nobody, I swear." Ant says. "Yep, twice." I admit. He gets quiet. "Cool, that's fine. I can get over that. Step one of moving forward and making shit right." he calmly says, totally catching me off guard.
"I guess." I say. I have been thinking about it and I've been having heart to heart talks with my kids about it. They say they don't care and that they only want me to be happy and stuff but I can tell they don't want to give up on Ant. They love Montana, but deep down I know they don't like this separation. Noble's the only one of them who truly don't give a fuck as long as I'm happy.
"So... you gone come to marriage counseling? Come to at least one session. If that don't work out, I'll leave you alone and go on about my business." he says. "Okay. I'll talk to you when I get home." I say. "Aight. Put Reign back on the phone." he says. "Okay." I say, then hand the phone back to Reign.
"You wanna go to the beach?" Montana asks, putting LaLa down. She's been riding his back the whole time we've been out shopping.
"I do. How does this look?" I ask, showing him a colorful bag that has Mexico stitched on the front of it. "Colorful as hell." he answers. "Lala, you like it?" I ask my daughter. "Yes. Can I get eight dollars since I'm eight too?" she asks, innocently smiling.
"What you need eight dollars for if me and Montana buying you everything?" I ask. "Cause... fine, I took Majesty's eight dollars and bought bows for my dolls with it and I feel bad so I wanna give it back." she says. "Did you apologize for taking your big brother's money without asking? That's stealing, Antayla." I say in all seriousness.
She looks down. "I know. I said I was sorry." she says. "I don't know where you got that from, but you were not taught to steal, especially from your brother. Where'd you get that from?" I ask. "Jessie steals Majesty's girls all the time so what's wrong with stealing money? Mommy, he stole a whole person from Majesty cause the girl said he was cute." she says.
I close my eyes tight, trying to stay patient with this child. "Looking just like your daddy... look, stealing is wrong. If I find out you did it again, you know you and Mr. Beat That Butt are gonna have a meeting, right?" I ask. Mr. Beat That Butt is a brown belt I've been having since I gave birth to Noble and Majesty. I literally wrote Mr. Beat That Butt on the belt and every time they act up, Mr. Beat That Belt goes to work on that ass.
