Taraji -

The next morning after me and Usher went to breakfast, we went to my doctors appointment, and I got my prescription for my vitamins. Usher took me too the dug store and got them filled.

After that we went over to my moms house. "Baby you know I was dreaming about fishes last night," my mom said as she sat down on the couch.

Me Usher looked at each other and started laughing. "What y'all over there grinning about?" She asked. "Mommy I'm pregnant," I said. "Really? Baby you are?" She smiled. "Yes," I replied.

"Oooh what we naming my grand baby?" She asked. "I don't know yet I have two names in mind, I just wanna know what we're having," I said.

"I hope it's a boy," she said. "Thank you mama I keep telling her we having a boy," Usher smiled. "Mommy don't say that we having a girl," I laughed. "What until you get three months and this old lady will know what you're having by the way your belly sits," she said.

"Alright, I'm so excited, I can't wait, until he or she gets here," I said as I rubbed my belly. "It can't believe I'm finally about to be a grand mama," she smiled. Usher kissed my cheek and I gave him a peck on the lips.

"Mama its some more jumbo?" He asked. "Yeah baby, Taraji go fix him some more of that jumbo," she said. "K," I smiled. "And hurry it up," he said as he gripped my ass when I got up. I chuckled and walked into the kitchen.

I grabbed him a bowl from the cabinet, and grabbed the jumbo from the fridge. Once I warmed it up, I warmed up his corn bread. "Baby come eat," I said. "Iight," he replied as he got up and came in the kitchen.

"Thanks babe," he said as he started digging into his jumbo. "You welcome," I replied. "Baby, where the hot sauce?" He asked. "I'll got it," I said as I went to the cabinet. I gave him the hot sauce and then I went back into the living room.

"That boy loves that jumbo," mama smiled. "Yeah he does, he keeps asking when I'm gone make some," I laughed. "Baby you got a good man in there, I can tell he's a good one, and you too are going to have some beautiful babies, I'm so proud of you sweetheart, opening up your heart again. I know that after what happened "with you know who" I know you shut down and gave up, but sweetheart don't let your past pain, interfere with a beautiful future. That's a good man in there, I've prayed about it baby, an old lady knows, I see how he handles you, you deserve that baby, and I accept him," she said.

"Awe thank you mommy, I really love him, and he does make me happy, he's a sweetheart, I really do hope we have a good future together," I said.

"Have you met his mom yet?" She asked. "We're going over there after we leave here, I'm a little nervous, but I'll be fine," I said. "You will sweetheart, but let me know if that lady don't like my baby ill give her two of these," my mama said as she held up her fist. We both started cracking up laughing. "You a mess mommy," I replied. "I'm serious," she laughed. After Usher ate we talked some more and then we left.

"You nervous?" Usher asked as we walked up the steps to his moms house. "A little but I'll be fine," I said as I kissed his cheek. He held my hand as he rung the door bell.

Usher -

"Hey momma," I said as my mom ran the door bell. "Hey sweet heart how are you," she said as she pulled me in for a hug. "I'm doing good mama, what about you?" I asked as I kissed her cheek. "I been doing good for an old lady," she replied.

"Who is this pretty little lady," she smiled. "Momma this is my girlfriend Taraji, baby this is my mom Jonetta," I replied. "Hi, nice too meet you," Taraji smiled as she outstretched her hand. Momma of course didn't shake it. I shook my head and held my hand down. "It's nice too finally meet you , I was wondering when I was gone meet the girl that stole my son from me," she said as we came inside.

"Yeah, he talks about you a lot too," Taraji said. "So what have you been up to baby?" Momma asked. "Nothing much, my album is about to drop, so I been working hard on my album," I said.

"And you been dating," she said as she sipped her tea. "Yeah mama," I said with my head down. She gave me a stern look, and I quickly looked away.

"So where did you meet this one," she said. Taraji cleared her throat and shifted in her seat. "At the diner where she works," I replied. "Listen if you're trying to come after my son for his money, you can forget it," she said.

"Listen I don't know-" So uh momma you heard from James?" I asked. "Oh yes baby I heard from him the other day, he should be coming home, this weekend," she smiled. "Yeah that's good," I said as I looked at Taraji. She rolled her eyes and turned her head. I grabbed the remote and turned the tv up. "So Taraji what is it that you do?" She asked. "I'm a waitress," she said. "Really Usher a waitress?" She asked. "What the hell you trynna say?" Taraji said. "I'm just saying that Usher could do way better," she replied. "Ma come now you need to chill with all that, that's disrespectful as hell and we ain't come here for that," I said.

"Well then you can leave because I didn't ask you too come over she said," "iight man, come baby," I said as I grabbed Taraji's hand. "And don't come back crying to me, when this one breaks your heart, and steals all your money," she said. "Fuck you man, Taraji lets go," I yelled as I stormed out the front door. I walked to the car and helped Taraji get in. I got inside and drove off.

"Baby-" "I don't wanna talk about it right now iight," I said as I drove inside the gates of the house. Once we got inside I grabbed my body wash and headed to the bathroom for my shower. I couldn't believe how disrespectful my mom was. I get she wants the best for me but Taraji is the best for me. That's the women I wanna be with and if she can't help it oh fucking well. I rinsed off and hopped out the shower. I grabbed my towel and dried off, then I threw on my boxers, and slipped in my house shoes.

I went in the room, threw my towel in the hamper and plopped down in bed. I grabbed my phone and logged onto my Instagram. "Baby, can we talk?" Taraji asked as she straddled my lap. "Yeah babe what's up?" I asked as I gripped her waist.

"Baby I like that you stood up for me, but you were disrespectful baby and you need to apologize after all she is your mother," she said as she rubbed my shoulders. "I hear you she disrespected you, the mother of my child, you got my seed in you, I ain't gone never let nobody disrespect you or hurt you I don't care who it is, my dad never been in my life, so I can go without her too," I replied.

"Baby don't say that, you need you're mom, if something happens to me and the baby, she going to be here for you," she said.

"Yea I guess," I replied. "Usher," she whined as she hit my chest. "Iight baby iight damn, I'll talk too her," I replied. "Usher I'm not playing with you," she said. "Okay baby okay, I hear you,"

"K you better," she said as she pecked my lips. "Girl whatever," I laughed as I got on top of her. I started kissing on her neck and she pushed me back. "As much as I wanna fuck we not," she said. "Why baby," I whined as I sucked on her neck. " because you not getting nothing until you apologize," she said. "Really baby?" I laughed. "Yes I'm not playing," she said. "Babe you tripping you know damn well you gone get horny," I said. "Boy I got a vibrator in my drawer," she said. "Stop playing with me man," I said as I slapped her thigh. "I'm so serious with you right now, you are not getting anything, no lick lick, no suck suck, nothing," she said. "Come on baby you know damn well that vibrator can't move like I do," I said as we laughed. "I heard that," she giggled. "I love yo crazy ass," I said as I pecked her lips. "I love you too daddy," she replied. "Always and forever?" "Always and forever," she replied as I gave her a long lingering kiss, I was ready to put that ring on her finger.
