"Cassia, baby why are you wearing pink right now?" Jamila groaned, eyeing Cassia's entire outfit. Crossing her arms above her protruding stomach, Cassia pouted while staring down at her plate that was empty.
"I don't want to wear blue, I want another girl, not another boy." Looking at her as if she was crazy, Jamila took a deep breath to calm herself down. Continuously making sure to remind herself that her best friend was 8 months pregnant, and she couldn't snap on her because of her hormones. Knowing that she was a lot worse when she went through her own pregnancies.
"Okay, but wearing pink to a baby shower for your son doesn't really make a lot of sense to me. The color of your dress won't change the gender." Rolling her eyes, Cassia held onto the edge of the table to slowly stand to her feet.
"Where are my children?" She mumbled, completely ignoring Jamila just as a small body went flying past her. Reaching her hand out, Cassia grabbed the back of his shirt, stopping the upper half of his body but his legs kept moving. "You gon stop moving your legs?" Cassia tilted her head, looking down at him.
Finally look up towards his mother, he placed his hands on her large stomach in attempts to push himself from out of her grip. "Mommy let go, Crystal's chasing me!" He whined, just as Crystal came running from around the corner, Cassia holding her free hand out to grab her too. Immediately separating the two so that they stood out of arms reach, Cassia dragged them both to a more secluded area that was away from everyone.
"Can the two of you stop it for one day-."
"Tell Zahir to leave me alone, he's so annoying!" Crystal huffed, attempting to hit her brother, but Cassia quickly grabbed her again, moving her to the other side of the hallway while she stood between the two. Turning to face Zahir with her hand still extended behind her to make sure Crystal didn't move, Cassia eyed her son.
Chyus Zahir Emerson, the spitting image of his father. Out of the 3 kids that Cepheus had, none of them took on his features, personality, and overall being like his son did. The 4 year old looked exactly like him, from his dimples to his freckles. The only big difference between them was the fact that Zahir was born with green eyes that he still has. Unlike his father, his eyes didn't change colors, they stayed green and were only green. Just like Camree's, but everyone assumed that Camree's eyes came from Mariah, since her eyes were green too.
Zahir suffered from many different illnesses like his father. Most of them being rare, some even being unknown, but he suffered from bipolar disorder along with schizophrenia at a young age. Cassia always made sure he took his medication, but there were always times where he still acted out because like Cepheus, he could overpower his medication due to his other illnesses, along with the fact that when he got angry he liked to break things and fight. To only be 4, he was really strong and aggressive, something attained straight from his dad.
