I shook my head, as I shaped the raw meat in a ball, then pressed on it to make it flatter. Today was King's birthday and for hisb birthday, he wanted hamburgers.
It's only been 2 months since Jay been in jail and it reel like 2 years. I placed four of the seasoned raw meat on the grill before walking to the 'present table'.
I just realized how much everyone loved my baby King. He had presents on presents. A few of the presents could'nt even fit on the table. It was his day so it was my duty to make his birthday the best seventh birthday.
Kate was standing near the sink, washing the lettuce and tomatoes and cutting them up while Ashlee fried the fries, and while Kam played tag wih the kids.
After everything was done, I cleaned the kitchen from the cooking mess. We brought the perfectly cooked patties, buns, tomatoes and lettuce on seperate plate.
"Food's ready!" I yelled happily at the thousands of kids playing. I placed it on the table where we would put the cake. It was Kam and Samantha's job to make the hamburger for the kids
It wasnt easy either but they was quick with it. They made all 30 of them get in two lines of 15. And in no less then 5 minutes each child was sitting on the other table.
Forgot who Samantha was? She was the zookeeper that I made friends with. She had brought her daughter. And for some reason she reminded me of King.
I shook it off because by the way Jay used to talk to and about Samantha let me know he didn't like her. Not one bit. Why? I don't know, but I just knew he hated her. I sat on the concrete, even though I knew damn I was gonna need help getting up.
I could see Jay right in front of me but I just shook it off, knowing it wasn't him. Ever since he left for jail, I've been imagining he was there when I knew he wasn't. I crooked my head before King sat in front of me.
We was matching. It was a superhero party. So we both had a red shirt with all the Marvel's superheroes on it with black jeans. Even though mine were a little tight since it was women's. And we both wore bred 11's.
"Having fun?" I asked King, smiling. Since his mouth was full of hamburgers, he just nodded his yes.
He then swallowed. "Is daddy coming?"
I sighed. "I don't know King". He looked down at his shoes, causing me to say "No. Don't get sad on your birthday King. That's not the way the cookie crumbles.
He laughed. "What?"
"Something your dad always said".
He laughed a little more. "Ok"
"What do you have in your hamburger?".
"Pickles, miracle whip, and lettuce".
"Mmm. Can mommy have some?"
He shook his head before smiling and pulling off a piece if bis hamburger. I opened my mouth, making him laugh and shove the piece in my mouth. "You're so greedy, mommy".
"I got it from you" I laughed tickling hin, causing him to
laugh".
Rachel then came up to us. "Hey Ms. Destinee "
I smiled. "Hi babygirl. You having fun".
"Ye-" Rachel was beginning to say before King pushed her out the way.
"Why did you do that?!"
"I don't like her. I hate her "
"Boy you better be quiet before you get a whooping on your 7th birthday". He the frowned, stood up and walked away. I shook my head, before turning to Rachel. "You okay?"
She shook her head. "No. King hates me"
I shook my head. "No he does not. I'll talk to him. You ready for some cake?"
"Yes"
"Okay. Help me up then". She stood and grabbed my hand, doing her best to help me up.
Once I was up, I yelled "Who wants cake?!". Soon, the children screamed, jumping off the moonwalk and gathering around the huge black table.
King was in the middle of ne and Ashlee as we started to sing.
"Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday to you" Everyone chimed in unison. I sang happily until I heard a deep familiar voice sing Happy Birthday .
I turned around to someone I thought I wouldn't see in another ten years.
Jaycob.
He got behind me, wrappibg his arms around my waist. As I sang the last verse if the song, my voice was breaking since I was in verge of crying.
King blew out the candles, causing every to clap.
"King I have a early present for you"
He smiled. "What is it?"
"Hey son" Jay spoke.
"Daddy!" King yelled, causing Ashlee, Kam, Kate, Kerry and Matt to turn around. The girls ran over to him, hugging the hell out of him as the boys gave him a brotherly hug.

.....
"You know I was comin' back for you babygirl" Jay mumbled in my hair. His arms was wrapped around my waiste, as we intertwined Our finger and placed them on my huge stomach.
"I love you so-" I tried to say but the pain on my stomach prevented me to do so. "Ouch, ouch, ouch. Shit, ouch"
He let go of me. "What? What's wrong?"
"My...my stomach. It's hurting sooo much!!" I winced. I squeezed his hand, and stepped closervto him. The pain in my stomach became stronger. I didn't even realize I was crying until Jay wiped my tears away.
I breathed heavily and ten suddenly the pain in my stomach stopped.
I knew this feeling all too well.
I was having contractions l. I mean, I did have King and the same thing that's happening now happened when I was pregnant with King.
"Jay"
"What?"
"Amber and Anthony are coming"

Ohhh. How did you feel about this chaoter. Comment
