Stephanie & August--Erin & Layla in the mm
5 years later...
Stephanie
"Man, ion know about dis shit." August said shaking his head.
I walked over to him and sat down on bed beside him.
"August, they are going to be fine."
This was Erin's first day of school. She was going to be in kindergarten and Laya was going to to the fifth grade. Erin was now five and Laya was ten but August was not feeling it. He didn't even wants Laya going to school when she first came to stay with us. Now that this was Erin's first time ever being away from us, he was not along it very well.
"Don't tell me dat shit Stephanie, dat is my baybeh and I aint ready ta let her go right na'."
I smiled and rubbed his back. He loved Erin so much and he became a great father to Laya, so when Erin was born, he was the best. But he was always frustrated because of him having to be on the road so much. Since his music career had kicked off, he had been a lot more busy than usual.
"I know, she will be fine. So come on and lets get the girls to school so they wont be later on their first day." I stood up, holding my hands out for him to take.
He sighed and reluctantly grabbed my hands, standing up. I walked back into the bathroom to slip in my earrings as he button up is shirt. Things were at very good place with us. Although, we has some trying things going on in our life that was testing out family, we still tried to remain happy.
"Daddy-- stop Princess! Daddy princess took my backpack!" Erin yelled.
I sighed and looked over to August who was smiling and shaking his head. Princess was crazy about Erin and always loved to pick on her. But would protect her wth her life. August walked out of the room and I followed to see what all the commotion was about.
Walking into the room, I seen Laya trying to get Erin's backpack from princess who was just sitting there on top of her backpack not moving. I covered my mouth, trying not smile.
Snapping his fingers, August pointed out the door. Princess slowly got up and trotted out of the door.
"You good baybeh?" August asked walking over to Erin and sitting on her bed.
Erin was pouting and crossing her arms. She was a big ball of energy that always kept us going. She was spoiled rotten because August and Anthony gave her anything she would ask for. Even though Sheila and I would tell her 'no', they would tell us to mind our business and give it to her anyway. Hell, them two should have gotten married.
"No, Princess sat on my backpack and now it's gonna be smelly." Erin whined.
"You want daddy ta get you anotha backpack?" August asked, once more giving into her.
She smiled and nodded. "Sleeping beauty, she is my favorite princess daddy."
He chuckled and kissed her cheek and stood up.
"Aight, you got it. Let's get goin so we can get ya backpack and make it ta school on time. Oh and Laya baybeh, I got you some new shoes come tell me if ya like'em." He reached his hand out for Laya to take.
I frowned, I didn't remember him buying anything extra for the girls but he was always doing something.
Laya stood up and walked out of Erins door and grabbed August's hands and followed him to our room. August walked over to our his closet and pulled out a pair of girl Jordan Jumpan Team II Basketball shoes. When she opened them she began dancing in place.
