I listen to the track with Elle and the crew that she just sung on and they was all blown. "We gotta run that back cuz I like it and I messed up a little," Anna goes.

"I agree, I messed up with that note." Elle shakes her head.

"Yeah we could run this another day. I gotta go get my baby girl and introduce Elle to the family."

"Damn girl, you just got everything in a package." CJ looks at her up and down.

I take the blunt that I had and put the burning part it on his hand. "Ahhh shit man ! It was that real?"

"Nigga shut up, stop acting like your mamma ain't get you used to that as a kid," I say causing the rest of the crew to laugh. I dap everybody up and Elle says her nice meeting you to everyone.

After leaving I thought about making my way to my Uncle Jay house but I really wanted her to meet Princess. "You cool?" I asked Elle.

"Yeah just hungry, can we go to golden crust ?" She ask.

"Yeah, you look tired. You sure you alright ?" I ask again.

"Yeah bae ."

I pulled up to my moms house as Elle wiped her mouth. She had a beef patty with cheese. I turned to her and laughed.

"What ?" She looks confused.

"You got something," I say wiping the crust off her mouth.

"Thanks bae, you got gum? Anything else on my mouth? On my face? I look aight? You know what maybe mints cuz it's rude to chew gum and talk to them. What you think ?"

"Relax, I got Listerine strips and gum for the moment," I say. I'm smiling as she fixes her hair, takes the gum, puts on red lipstick. Females yo.

"You sure your Moms said it was-"

"You look good babe, and your breath don't stink. And yes I text my Moms when we were in Golden Crust," I lied. Before she could question I dug in my pocket getting my keys, while giving her the Listerine strip anyway.

"Thanks babe," she says then touches the door. "You ready?"

"I'm ready when you are," I smile. I stop her hand and kiss her softly. "Relax Elle, they're gonna like you."

"What if Latrese doesn't and your mother I-"

"Just be yourself and relax babe." She nods and I get out and so does she. I take her hand and go to open the front door with my key.

"Who that?!" My mother yells from the kitchen.

"Come here ma!" I yell.

"Latrell, don't go yelling in my- ooh hi. I didn't know you brought company." My mother smiled when seeing Elle. "He is so rude, what's your name sweetheart?"

"Nyelle," she smiles and lends out her hand.

"Ooh no baby, I do hugs as a formal greeting." My mother hugs her. "I'm Lisa, this bum mother. I'm cooking right now so I'm sorry we can't talk more but at the dinner table."

"You want me to help?" Elle asks.

"No sweetie, make yourself at home."

"Okay," Elle smiles.

"Make sure he takes care of you in here," she looks at me. Elle smiles.

I kiss my mothers cheek. "What you making ma?"

"Food, mind your business." And with that she walked away .

"That's my crazy moms," I laugh a little. "Ma where Princess?"

"Upstairs with Janaia and Leyah!" She calls from the kitchen.

"Dwadddyy!" Princess comes down with the biggest smile on her face. I hug her picking her up.

"You missed me baby girl?" I kissed her cheek and neck and she laughed.

"Dwaddy where you go yesterday?"

"I went to go see somebody. Wanna meet her ?" I ask smiling at how smart she is. I watched her nod and that made Elle smile. "This is my friend Ms. Nyelle."

I watched Elle wave hi. "What's your name pretty girl ?"

"Latrese Princess Velmont," she looked at me before saying Velmont and I just smiled.

"You are so pretty. I like your braids who did them?" Elle asks.

"Auntie Jay," she says then covers her face. "Dwaddy, I'm hiding from Auntie Jay."

I look seeing Janaia coming downstairs. She looked like she just woke up but ran down grabbing Tresey out my arms. I smiled seeing her laugh hard. I'm glad she like her family and she didn't have a hard time getting used to them.

"That's your sister?" Elle asked me.

"Yeah." Elle nods and baby Jay looks up and puts Tresey on her hip.

"Hi, I'm Janaia but everyone calls me Jay. You gotta be Nyelle," Janaia goes ahead and introduces herself.

"Yeah but call me Elle," Elle smiles.

"Cool, it's good that my brother finally has a serious girlfriend. I'm happy he-"

"Janaia." I looked at her crazy.

"Nice meeting you," Janaia smiles.

I see Leyah come down and Elle still is smiling. "This Ju baby sister Leyah."

"I ain't no damn baby nigga. Pull that with JayJ," Leyah says.

"Don't get smacked. Got a mouth just like her damn father and brother," I shake my head.

"Whatever, I ain't none of them. But hi, I've heard a lot about you even from Rina." Leyah smiled. "You're really pretty."

"Thank you, so are you. I love your eyes." Elle smiles.

"Ooh a blessing from my mother," Leyah smiles.

Elle laughs a little and I lead her into the living room. "You can sit." I watch Elle sit and I sit next to her.

"Trelly she is beautiful. I didn't know somebody could look so much like they parent," she laughed.

"Ooh look at the picture of my father, me and Janaia when we were kids." I showed her the picture of us all at six flags. I was cheesin with no front teeth and Janaia had her hand on her hip thinking she grown.

"I thought that was you. So that's who you look like.." She started at the picture. "Your mother got good taste."

I laughed. "I guess."

Elle smiled as the doorbell rang. Tresey came running to my lap while Janaia ran to the door. I saw her peek then go outside. Who the hell at the door?

"Dwaddy can I show your fwen what Mwommy taught me about skwool?" She tried to whisper but it ended up being loud.

"Go ahead baby," I laugh and she turns to Elle and starts counting. I hear somebody telling outside the house and I hop out my seat. "I'll be right back."

I go to the door peeking to see that nigga Jeremiah. What the hell he yelling for? And who the hell he yelling at? I stepped out seeing tears on Janaia's face. I'm about to kill something.
