"Tay where is lyric" i asked confused

"She went back to sleep so i put her in her bed" she said then turned back to her phone

"Leon come on so i can give you a bath and do your hair" i told him because he has long curly hair

"No mama" he said looking back at the tv

"Im sorry you said you want me to beat yo ass" i asked him with my brow raised

" no" he said and started crying

"Then get to your bathroom so you can take a bath now" he went to his room like i said stomping his little feet up the stairs

"They are truly your children" tariah said shaking her head i sighed and sat next to her

" yeah its a blessing to have them too but i never wanted kids this early shit i didnt even want my life like this tay i cant do this its too hard" i said crying on her shoulder

" i love you sis you are the best" i told her giving her a hug and going to leon's room i ran his bath and got his clothes out

" take your clothes off so i can give you a bath" he took his clothes off and got in i put the soap on his scrub and tried to bath him but he wouldnt let me

"No i do it mommy" he told me taking the scrub out of my hand and trying to bath himself

"I done now" he told me

"Ok can i do your back for you" he just nodded and i did his back and quickly did the places that he didnt get before he could protest

"Now rinse off" i told him turning the shower on and draining the water he stepped out and i dried him off and put his clothes on then put some cornrows in his hair then told him to go downstairs to tay

After getting the kids ready for the day i gave them breakfast and let them play out side now they are taking their naps

"Tay can you help me come get this stuff out the truck so i can start unpacking"

"Yeah let me go put some shoes on" while she did that i went to the truck and opened it and started taking boxed out and taking them in the rooms that were labled on them

Soon tay came out and started helping as i went back to the truck i saw this dude next door on his porch with some other guys staring at me but i just brushed it off i just continued getting the boxes and lyric came running out to me making me drop the box good thing it was just clothes

"Lyric you are suppose to be taking a nap why are you up" i asked picking up the box mad that she made me drop it

"I not sleepy momma" she told me now that i think about it she did sleep alot yesterday and today so i guess she got more than enough sleep

"Ok well go play with your toys or something baby i gotta finish helping auntie riri" thats what her and leon call tariah

She ran away while i sat the last boxes on the ground and closed the truck

"Tay can you take the truck back" i asked as she was coming out the house

"Yeah i got you where the keys" i pointed to the ground and she picked them up and hopped in the truck and drove off

"Mariah what did i tell you about going out of the yard" he asked her while picking her up

"Dont do it" she said putting her head down

" she is a very pretty little girl" i told him

"Yeah she is" she said dryly while walking away i brushed off his rudeness

"Well since we are new around here maybe we can set up a play date with her and my kids they seem to like each other" he looked at me then my kids then back at me

"Yeah we'll see" with that he walked to his house going inside that nigga is rude as fuck
