Thursday
I climbed out of the car grabbing some last minute things out of the trunk for Leilanis's party.
"Wanna help mommy with the bags?" She nodded and walked ran towards the car.
She tripped on the ground and almost fell. I laughed."Slow down."
"Tis mines." She pulled the little Tiara out of the bag. I nodded my head. "I thought you was supposed to help."
She ignored me and tried to pull the plastic off of it. I sucked my teeth while shifting all the bags to one hand and grabbing her hand.
We walked back into the house together. Alexis was no where to be found, Maya was rummaging through the bags.
"What you doing?!" I yelled causing her to hit her head.
"That's what you get where ya mom?" Her ass was supposed to be helping me setup. She know I don't got nobody else help.
"I'm right here hunty."
"Why you leave these kids down here by themselves, you know Leilani went to the door."
"And what was gonna happen? There's a huge fence protecting your house."
I sucked my teeth and placed the bags onto the table.
She grabbed the pack of balloons and the helium tank.
I got up to answer the door. Revealing Devin, Destiny and his niece Melissa.
"Hey." I said to them expecting a response from both of them but only receiving one from Devin.
I rolled my eyes and stepped aside so that they could enter. Destiny along with everyone else is still stuck on that Lucas shit. Leilani is the only reason we still communicate.
Leilani dropped her tiara and jumped into Devin's arms. "You missed me?" She nodded her head and smiled.
"Oh so you don't see ya god mom." She turned turned her head and reached her hands out for Destiny.
"Damn I ain't held her for three minutes and you already wanna take her." She rolled her eyes at him and grabbed Leilani.
"So are y'all gonna help or..." Alexis blurted out causing them to face her.
"Yea I'll help only because it's for Leilani, but I ain't cleaning shit." Devin laughed
She tossed him a pack of balloons.
While I went out back to blow up the moon bounce. I hooked the blower onto the end of the moon bounce.

The back yard was filled with little kids. Most of them were kids from her daycare. Others were just kids from the neighborhood.
I watched as Leilani came from the bouncey house crying. "Whats wrong?"
She didn't say anything she just pouted. "Let me see your face."
I gently grabbed her face and moved it from side to side examining her face.
She didn't have any marks. "Somebody hit you?" She shook her head no.
"It's filled." She said referring to the moon bounce. "You want a Popsicle?" "Mhmm."
I grabbed her hand and we walked into the empty house together. "What flavor?"
"Ummm... Pink." I grabbed the pink one and put it towards her. "No."
"You said pink what you don't want it." She shook her head no.
I picked her up and let her look into the deep freezer. "So which one you want?
She pointed towards the purple one. "That's purple say purple." "Puple."
I chuckled and handed it to her. Before going bsck outside we stopped to answer the door.
Lucas
"This ya sister crib?" I asked troy as he drove through the gate. He nodded his head.
"Damn if she got all this money why she ain't helping you pay for studio time.
"I don't beg her for that type shit, she worked hard for this."
He parked the car and all four of us got out. We all standed in dront of the door while he knocked.
The door swung open showing the girl I saw at the store.
"Wassup Yn." She said hey and gave him a warm hug. Yn the hell how the fuck I didn't know that was her.
She look different, I was behind Vier and Donny so she couldn't see me. "Hey la' Leelu." Troy said causing the Yn to suck her teeth.
Did this nigga really just say that. The fuck he talking about no damn lil me running round here.
"I got you a present you wanna see it." The little girl smiled.
"Lucas."
Vier and Donny moved aside so that she could see me.
Yn's mouth fell ajar as her eyes began to widen. We made eye contact for a few seconds until she focused her attention back to Troy.
"I fucking hate you." She sounded as if she wanted to cry.
She walked into the house. Troy walked into the house and we followed. "How you feel about the baby." Vier asked with a smirk on his face.
"Nigga what you-." I stopped after realizing what he was talking about.
It all clicked everything from Troy's comment on Instagram to Vier giving me Yn's number.
