::Taina::

After our little day out or whatever, I took Qualia home, and Jasmine and I went back to my house. I told Que in advance, so he wouldn’t walk down the steps half naked. I giggled at the memory of him doing that one day I went in the house with Tiana standing behind me, and they got into a playful argument about it. Anyway, I pulled up to the house several minutes later, and got out, and went to take a sleeping Jasmine out. I’m guessing Que heard me pull up, because he came and got Jasmine’s bag. “How you just gon put her to sleep like that?” he asked once we got in the house. He’s just as attached to her as Bobby is, I’ll give him his child one of these days. “She’s been up all day, as a matter of fact she just went to sleep like 10 minutes before we pulled up.”  I informed him. “Oh, ok… so when am I gonna get mine??” he questioned. I laughed “What’s so funny??? I’m dead ass serious.” “I know, I know… I was just thinking about that.” His eyes lit up in excitement “Fa real???” “Yeah… at first I wanted to wait until graduation, and that I had a job… but once I’m emotionally stable, your wish shall be granted.” “What’s it gonna take for you to be stable???” “I don’t know, I need to be able to cope with the fact that Tiana’s no longer here, I mean she would’ve been our future child’s God mom, and then she was pregnant, so it’s a lot I have to deal with and overcome.” Que understands the bond I had with Tiana, so he’ll probably be understanding of this too. “Understandable, do you think you need to go to the rehab thing???” “I’ve thought about it, but I wanna be around the people who I love and care about a little bit longer, and since it’s like 3 months long, I’ll go at the end of the semester, and that way I’ll be back by the start of the next semester.” “So if that helps you, when do we get started on this baby??” he asked rubbing his hands and making a creepy smile appear on his face. “I don’t know, but I want the baby to be born in the summer, that way I’ll be around, and won’t be as upset about missing out on school so much.” “Nah, take online classes, our baby needs to be born in April like us” he sounded like he was joking, but I knew he was dead ass serious. “That’s not possible, I’ll be in the rehab thing, unless you’re willing to wait another year.” “Nope, how soon can we get started if I don’t???” “September.” “Well looks like our first born will be a summer baby” he said with a grin. I love seeing him happy. We got up off the floor, and got in bed with Jasmine sleeping between the two of us.

::Jacquees::

The next morning I woke up a happy ass man! To know that the love of my life is willing to compromise and have our first child earlier than she wanted to, let’s me know that she truly does love a nigga. I gotta marry her and quick! I’m just gonna propose on her birthday, since it’s coming up, and we’ll get married on our anniversary, September 13, or that weekend. That way everything goes according to plan, and that she can get pregnant during our honeymoon. Since Tai was still sleep, and Jasmine was up pulling my dreads, I decided to take her downstairs, and cook Tai breakfast. My nigga Tee showed me how to make her famous breakfast that Tai loves oh so much! And I made Jasmine a bottle. Might as well get a head start on all of this ‘daddy’ stuff since it’ll be that time before you know it. Tai doesn’t have class until 11, and it’s like 8:30 now, but as soon as she smells food, she’ll be down here in no time. I put Jasmine in her car seat, and put a blanket under her chin, so that I wouldn’t have to sit and feed her. I didn’t have the stuff to make homemade waffles, so I put some Eggo Waffles in the oven along with the bacon. I put some Ore Ida hash browns on the skillet thingy, and while all of that was going on, I sat back and watched Jasmine finish her bottle, as she drifted back off to sleep. Once her bottle was done, I took it from her, and put in the sink. I checked on the food, and the waffles were the only thing done, so I just put 'em all on one plate, and waited. While I was waiting, I picked up a sleeping Jasmine, and patted her softly on her back to burp her. When she finally burped, I cleaned the milk from around her mouth, and put her back in her carseat, and by that time the hash browns were done, so I started on putting the food on two separate plates. I started fixing up Tai’s 3 waffles with whipped cream, strawberries, and strawberry syrup, and I put some hash browns on her plate. Why the fuck does bacon take so long to cook?? Shit still ain’t ready. Taina came down right after I made my discovery. “Do my eyes deceive me, is Rodriguez actually cooking???” she joked. Man if Tiana was still alive I would kick her ass for telling Tai my government name. “Ya best friend was foul as fuck fa that” I told her. “My best friend gave me the greatest information possible! You know my government, so it’s only fair to know yours” she said as she sat down in the chair next to the one Jasmine and her car seat were in. “Here crazy ass lil girl” I said dropping her plate in front of her “Ya ass not getting bacon, so don’t even ask” her head quickly snapped in my direction, and she sent me the meanest glare ever. “Why would you do such a cruel thing, if my best friend was here, she would kick ya ass right now for saying some shit like that to me” she got up with her plate, and went to the oven. She pulled the bacon out, put some on her plate, and put the rest back in the oven before sitting back down. “Muh fucka tell me I can’t have no damn bacon, dun lost his rabid ass mind, got me and his life fucked up” she murmured to herself, although I knew I was supposed to hear it. I shook my head, and got up to pull the bacon back out, and fixed myself a plate. “Bullshit ass Eggos, imma still eat ‘em tho” she mumbled again, but I still heard her.  “What’s the difference?” I was honestly confused. “Didn’t Tee teach you how to make homemade waffles???” “Yeah, but I didn’t try ‘em.” “That shit was fucking life! She added cinnamon to hers… one thing that was missing from your toppings was powdered sugar tho, but overall this was a great attempt, just a few pointers for next time.” “Well at least I did good, just don’t expect this to happen too often or else you’ll starve waiting on this to happen again.” “My mom’s a culinary chef, trust me, I’ll never starve; I have too many recipes from her.” “Wait… so is that why anytime you cook I feel like it’s that ‘fake & bake’ trick???” “Duh!” she said and we both continued to eat, I knew her mama could cook, but dang! “I’m tellin mama you been holding out” I said in reference to my mama, but Tai knows that. “I’m not tho, I just don’t like cooking. Now shush! And let me eat in peace.” I chuckled and we both continued to eat in peace since Jasmine was sleep.
