The Drugs

The brightness of the son wakes me up. I look over and I see Jayla and David wrapped around each other. They were so cute I just had to take a picture.

I heard babbling and I looked over at the baby carriage. I saw little baby feet moving around. I leaned over and looked at her. "Hi baby" I whispered. She giggled. "Hi" I lifted her up. She didn't cry or anything she just smiled her toothless smile and pulled at my shirt. "Are you hungry?"

I leaned down and grabbed the diaper bag, throwing it on my shoulder I head downstairs and into the kitchen.

I pulled out the baby formula and started making it. As I fed her I heard David stomp down the stairs.

"Hey babe" he yawned.

"Hey"  he walked up to me and reached for the baby.

I handed her to him and he smiled as he cradled her. "These kids love me"

"Yea, they do" I laughed and started making breakfast.

As I put the food on the table. I heard feet stomp down the steps and I saw a skinny, little nappy-headed girl look at me and smile.

"Hi" I smiled back.

"Hi, Chris" she waved.

"You must be Jayla"

"Yea, my daddy told me that I was staying here"

"You are, and we'll have lots of fun. I've made some breakfast" I pointed to the table. "You can have as much as you want" she walked over to the table and sat down. It looked like she said a prayer before she ate.

My attention was pulled away from her when my phone rang. I picked it up and it was Shawn. He asked if I could meet him at the coffee shop. I got put on a pair of jeans and a white shirt and looked for David.

He was in the living room playing with the baby. I smiled at him. "Hey babe, I'm gonna go out real quick"

"Alright, take your time"

"I'll take Jayla with me"

He stood up and looked at me. "Where are you going?"

"To see Shawn" he didn't say anything, he just peered into my eyes as if he was looking for something. "Ok, bye" I backed away slowly. "Jayla, are you dressed?" I yelled up the stairs.

She came down in a pink shirt, purple pants and a pink tutu. "Yes" she grabbed my hand and we were on our way out the door.

Jayla got in the backseat and buckled her seat belt. I turned on the pop station on the radio and Jayla sang and danced to almost every song.

When we got there Shawn was standing outside the coffee shop and when he saw me he lit up. Jayla ran to him and he picked her up.

"Hey baby" he kissed her. "How's everything?" He asked me.

"Fine, David is watching the baby"

"Good" he nodded. "Let's go inside"

He opened the door for me and I walked inside. We sat at a small table. He told Jayla to go play on the kids area while we talked.

"Thanks again for watching them"

"No problem, is Jenny ok?"

"She um..." He swallowed. "Overdosed. She's been struggling with drugs for a while, I've been tryna help her but she always find a way to get more" he paused for a second. "And I sometimes can't control myself-" he stopped.

"You use?"

He paused an looked down at his hands. "Yea" he looked ashamed.

"What drug?"

"Molly"

"You don't look like a user"

"The trick is to limit yourself and have a recovery drug with you "he looked proud as he said that.

"I know, I've had my fair share of knowledge about drugs" I took a deep breath. "I'm sorry, but I can't let you take these kids with you"

"Actually that's what I wanted to ask you, just until I'm clean"

I raised my eyebrows. "I can't keep them, I have to work and David is getting back into his job" he looked down. "But..." He looked back up at me. "I have a friend who babysits and I'm sure she'll watch them for as long as you need"

He looked at me again and tears formed in his eyes. "Thank you!" He stood up and hugged me. "Thank you so much"

"No problem" I stood up and yelled for Jayla to come. She ran over to me and climbed into my arms. "Are we going?" She asked. "Yes. Say by to daddy"

She leaned over and kissed him on the cheek. "Bye daddy"

"Bye baby" he waved as we walked out the door.

"You want some ice cream?"

Jayla jumped in my arms. "Oo, yes please"

I laughed and walked into the ice cream parlor. I bought three cookies and cream for Jayla, David, and I.

When I get into the house, David looks at me with mad eyes. "Where were you? I was calling you"

"Oh I must've left my phone here, why? What's wrong?"

He pointed to the couch and Mrs. Watkins was sitting there with Ricardo.
