Chris POV
"Christmas, Christmas time is here. Time for toys and time for cheers.We've been good, but we can't last. Hurry Christmas, hurry fast." I heard Alvin and the Chipmunks sing on the tv. Royalty was watching them. She looked at me as I sat next to her.
"Daddy." she said jumping up onto me. I looked at the tv. I smiled. She looked up at the tv and clapped her hands.
"Dance?" I asked. She stood up. She got down and stared at me.
"Want a plane that loops the loop. Me, I want a hula hoop. We can hardly stand the wait. Please Christmas, don't be late." the tv sang. I started dancing with Royalty. She smiled and danced. I picked her up and kissed her on the cheek. She laughed.
"Chris." I heard Rita call. Royalty smiled at me sneakily. I stared at her. And she pushed me trying to get down.
"Yes dear.?" I answered putting Royalty down. I went into the kitchen. Rita was in the refrigerator. She turned around. Her 4 month pregnant belly was sticking out.
"When is your family coming?"
"I don't know. When is your family coming?" I asked. She smiled.
"They'll be here any minute now."
"That's lovely." I said. She opened the container of ice cream and scooped out some ice cream in a bowl. I saw Royalty run over to her. Then tap her.
"Wassup ma." she said looking down.
"Ice scream." She said. Rita looked at me.
"No Ro. Its too early." I said. She looked at me and frowned. I saw her lip quivering. I stared at her. Then she started crying. "Not this shit again." I mumbled. Rita looked like she was about to give in but I stopped her. "No Rita. She needs to learn that she doesn't get what she wants by crying." I said. Rita nodded and walked into the living room.
I looked at Royalty. She kept crying. I frowned. She looked at me and stopped crying and put her finger in her mouth.
Then I heard my front door open and close. I turned around.
"Who missed me?" my mother asked. Royalty started crying again. I rolled my eyes. "Chris, what did you do to my baby?" she asked picking her up.
"I didn't do anything to myself."
"I'm not talking about you. I'm talking bout my grandchild." she said kissing Royalty. I swear, Royalty turned to face me and smirked. I grunted and sat on the stool.
"She wants ice cream and I told her that it was too early."
"Chris it's 10 am."
"Ok. What you gon watch her hyper self all day?" I asked. My mother frowned and pointed to me.
"Boy don't get smart. You may be 26 but, I will still whip your ass." she said. I heard Rita giggling in the background. "How are you miss ol new Pregnant with another Brown?"
"I could be better. The morning sickness is horrible."
"Oh I feel you." my mother said. I rolled my eyes. "Boy if you don't stop rolling them eyes and get my baby some ice cream, I will knock the sense into you." she said. I closed my eyes.
"Come on Little Ro Peep. Let me give you some ice cream so you can spend time with grandma all day." I said. My mother glared at me.
"Boy don't tempt me. I wanna slap the sense into somebody today." my mother said. "You acted the same way when you were a child. Don't play." I picked Royalty up and put her in her highchair. She smiled and clapped her hands.
Later, we were all in the living room. Teyanna and Iman came over with their daughter Junie. They let me hold her. I felt so honored. She looked into my eyes. I looked into hers. She smiled. "Hi." I said smiling. She looked around. Then back at me. Then I heard Royalty running towards me.
"Daddy. Ba- by." she said looking at Junie. I nodded.
"Yeah. This is Junie, Ro."
"Ju?" she asked looking at me.
"Yeah. Something like that." I said laughing. Tey was watching us.
"Chris, you are such a wonderful father." She said. I looked at her.
"Thanks. You guys are wonderful parents. I can feel it already." She smiled.
"No. Chris, I'm serious. You have a daughter who you already treat like your queen. And you'll have a prince really soon." she said. I looked at Rita. She was talking to my mother.
"I know. And I really am excited. I like having kids around. They make me feel like I'm grown up/ They make me laugh. Smile. Royalty and Chris Jr, are my everything. Besides my mother."
'And Rita."
"Yeah. And Rita. Because she's the one who loves me for who I am personally. Not financially."
"And you have kids that will do the same. Chris, I love seeing you happy. It keeps a smile on my face."
"And I love seeing you happy Tey. You've been through a lot and seeing you happy. Engaged, with a beautiful daughter. It's truly a blessing."
"Yeah. The same with you." she hesitated and then handed me a box.
"What is it?"
"Open it." she said. I handed her Junie and opened the box. I smiled. "Tey, you didn't have to."
"Oh. but I did." she said. It was a picture of me and her at her album release party. When i surprised her.
It read, Chris no matter how people think of you, I will always think of you as my brother. You are the kindest person I ever known. I will love you forever (especially if you would watch Junie when I when need your help.) Love Tey , Iman, and Junie. Ps. I miss my body.
I looked at her. "Love you Tey." I said. I hugged her.
"Now, go propose to your girl." she whispered in my ear.
"How?"
"I felt it in your pocket boy." she said. She looked at Iman. He smiled then nodded. I walked over to Rita.
"Rita Sacagawea Ora." I said. She giggled.
"Yes."
"You are the love of my life. The mother of my unborn son. And the sweetest person who had ever told me that I was being stupid. You said so sweetly. And I want to say sweetly. sweetie. Will you marry me?" I asked getting on my knee. She smiled. And nodded. "Huh? I didn't hear you."
"Yes Chris. Yes." She said. I stood up after putting the ring on her. And kissed her. "I love you asshole."
"I love you too Sacagawea."
