*A month later, Isobel*

I was still worried about Chresanto and Felicity. I haven't heard from baby girl in two years now and I was getting worried something happened to her. It wasn't like her to not call me back. I was so desperate to talk to her I even called Daniel. Poor boy he was still scared about that lil threat I gave him in High school! How cute. He tried to cuss me out on the phone but I threatened him again because I knew exactly where he lived. After I told him that he stopped trying to play hard. Then I cussed him out for trying to cuss me out then I cussed him out for refusing to tell me where Felicity is. I planned on finding this girl and I will get answers one way or another. Shanna and Chris are getting really serious and he finally stopped flirting with me after all these years. They're engaged now. Craig got Rebecca pregnant. I want to wait until next month or sooner to get pregnant. I wanted a little extra money. Issa's been calling me everyday. Ray's been getting irritated by my phone ringing all the time but he'll get used to Issa's concern. I hear my phone ringing. I just don't know where it is. "Hello?" I heard Ray say and I rushed to him. He's in our room, I realized. "Why you always calling her phone?!" Ray exclaimed and I jumped in his arms. "Hey baby," Ray chuckled, kissing me. "Is that my phone?" I asked. "Mhm." Ray said and I took it from him. "Isobel? Is that you boo?" Issa asked. "Yeah. Hey Issa." I said and Ray rolled his eyes. "You need to get your nigga. I think he jealous." Issa said and I laughed. "Boy bye. Jealous of what? We married." I said. "I know I still think he is." Issa said. "Daddy who that?" I heard Isa say in the background. "Its Isobel on the phone." Issa told her. "Let me talk to her!" Isa said. Issa's been letting me watch Isa while he's at work and talk to her on the phone when we're talking. She even called me mama and I knew Issa was smiling. "Hi Isobel!" Isa said. "Hey mamas." I said and she giggled. "I drew a pretty picture today for you." Isa told me. "Really? Maybe I can see it when I come tomorrow." I said. "Yeah! Can you make me chicken when you come tomorrow?" She asked happily. "Anything for you mamas." I said with a smile. "Daddy what's FaceTime?" Isa asked and before I knew it, she was asking to FaceTime me. "Hey baby!" I exclaimed. "Ooo I can see Isobel Daddy!" Isa said. "I see you too mamas. You being a good girl?" I asked her. "Yes I'm always good. Derrr." She joked and I laughed. "I know. I got to be checking up on you." I said. "I always good." She repeated. "Your daddy said you be throwing fits after I leave." I said and she looked around. "Oh no. I'm not having that. We'll talk about this tomorrow." I said and she pouted. "Okay. Night night." She said. "Night and love you." I said. "I love you too." She giggled and I hung up. "That was a lil cute." Ray said and I slapped his arm. "Don't be hating on my daughter." I joked. "I'm not." Ray chuckled.

I went in the basement and I started working out. "Working on my fitness... Nair it up Nair it up hoes! Don't mess with me or I'm gon' fuck you up! Hoe I don't like you!" I sang laughing. Something came up behind me and pushed me. I turned around and punched them in their nose. "Oh my goodness Ray!" I exclaimed as he fell on the ground. "You got a nigga scared now." Ray said and we laughed. "You ain't break nothing." Ray assured me. "You need to stop tryna sneak up on me." I said. "Okay. And what was you singing?" Ray asked. "Fergalicious the remix." I laughed. "I wonder how the rest of the song goes." Ray said. "No you don't." I giggled. Ray went back upstairs and I started singing again as I worked out. "And they be lining down the block just to watch what I got because I'm hot." I sang, giggling. "Lalala boys stay trying to get all up in this but they can't have it cause I'm cuffed. If they wanted it then they shoulda put a ring on it. Lalala girls be tryna cuff me. Girls getting wild trying to kiss other girls and tryna touch my boobs. Lalala boys want me to suck their dick but I don't do that type of shit because I'm cuffed! Lalala girls want to suck my tit but I don't let them because I'm cuffed!" I sang. "What in the world.." Ray said, laughing. I ran to him and threw a pillow at him.

The next day I went to watch Isa while Issa went to work. "Hey mamas." I said as she hugged my legs. "Hey baby." Issa tried. "Boy bye." I said and pushed past him. "Go on to work. I got Isa." I said, rushing him out the door. He sucked his teeth. "Girl why you fronting?" Issa asked, wrapping his arm around me. "Issa get off me." I said sternly. He let me go. "What can I do to get you back Isobel?" Issa asked. "You can't do anything. I'm married, you have a baby, and I just don't love you like I used to." I said. "I can make you love me if you just give me a little time.." Issa said. "I would've said okay if I wasn't married." I said, irritated. "Daddy Isobel think you ugly." Isa joked and I laughed. "I didn't say that." I giggled. "I'll be back at six." Issa said, giving me a look that said 'We'll talk later' but I knew we wasn't. "Bye daddy! I love you!" Isa said, hugging his legs.  "Bye Isa, love you too," Issa said. "Bye Isobel." Issa said. "Bye." I said. "It's like that?" Issa asked. "Yup. Now go to work." I said and he sucked his teeth, walking to the door. We walked behind him. I tapped Isa and she looked up at me. I fanned the air and we started laughing. "What's so funny?" Issa asked. "Nothing!" Isa smiled at him. "Your butt stink." I said. Isa and I started dying laughing again. "Real immature Isobel." Issa said. "It doesn't really stink, does it?" he asked Isa and she giggled. "No daddy you smell ok." Isa said. "Oh ok because I don't wanna walk into work and everybody is gonna be smelling me and they're gonna be like 'your butt stink.' I'd die." Issa said and Isa laughed. "I'll be back soon." Issa said and kissed Isa on the cheek and left. "Finally! I thought he'd never leave." I said and Isa giggled. "I knooow." Isa replied and we ran to the living room. "You pick the movie and I'll cook the chicken." I said as she fell on the couch. I went in the kitchen and started getting the stuff I needed for the chicken. "How many you want?" I asked her. "Three!" she exclaimed, holding three fingers up. "Okay," I chuckled. "How's school?" I ask, starting the chicken. "There's a boy who keeps giving me cooties!" Isa tells me. "Oh really? How?" I asked. "He hits me and sometimes he leaves a spot." Isa said and I widened my eyes. "What? Let me see the spots." I said, and she lifted her arms up. Her sleeves fell down and there were tiny little bruises on her upper arms. "Oh hell no.." I said to myself. "Why didn't you tell your daddy?" I asked. "Because I didn't want him to get hurt." Isa said. "I think your dad would be fine." I chuckled. "Not daddy, I meant Trent!" Isa exclaimed. "Ohhh," I nodded my head. "But you got to tell your daddy or it'll get worse." I said. "But momma." Isa protested. "Isa we'll tell him together. And I told you I'm not your momma baby." I said. "I wish you were my momma." Isa pouted. "Can you marry daddy too so you can be my step momma?" Isa asked, her eyes lighting up. "I can't. I'm already married." I said and she frowned. "Oh poop." Isa said and I laughed. "Alright I got to finish the chicken real quick and you finish picking the movie." I say, getting up. "Okay." She agreed and I went back to the kitchen.
