I picked out my car, with the approval of my baby mama, I'm supposed to go get it sometime next week.

I wanted to spend more time with...my girls so I took them to eat so now I'm it sitting across from both of them but my attention is mainly on Olivia who is paying no attention to me.

I've been home almost a month and I still know nothing about Olivia except that her full name is Olivia Isabelle Luh which I still don't know why Nicki would do that, I don't believe I deserve that but anyways, she's almost three and she looks just like me.

I continue to stare at them and I can't help but laugh while watching them mess with this thing Nicki showed me called Snapchat I think.

"Having fun?" I interrupt them.

Nicki looks at me "Yes actually, you should try it"

"Nah I'm good, I'd rather watch" there is no part of me that desires to look like a dog or have stars pop out of my head.

"Yeah because you're a creep"

"I can't help it, you're just so beautiful" I'm only half joking, I could stare at her all day cuz she is beautiful.

"Wow, you are still as corny as they come" she laughs.

"I'm only like this when you're around"

"So it's my fault, you have terrible jokes?"

"Yes or at least that's the story Ima tell people" I shrug.

She goes to say something back to me but she's distracted when Olivia starts climbing into her lap, making herself comfortable.

"She gets that from you" I unintentionally say out loud while remembering all the times I was Nicki's pillow or just her bed.

"What?" She looks at me again, clearly confused.

"That, the whole let me make myself comfortable on another person"  I clarify.

"Um excuse you but you were no better, especially under the influence, you were such a baby sometimes" she laughs reminding me how easily I would go from 0 to 100.

I never understood how I could be so mean to her one minute and then treat her like a princess the next, we had such a weird relationship before but I can't say it's all on me she knew exactly how to push my buttons just as good as I knew how to push hers.

It's not gonna be like that this time though, she's obviously changed now that she has Olivia and prison isn't exactly a place I wanna go back too so I've gotta change to focus more on Olivia and doing right by her and trying to be a not so terrible dad to her.

"So I was a little emotional sometimes, girls are suppose to love that shit"

"A little? Is that the story you're telling people?"
