All Back (Triology of Up 2 You && She Ain't You)

In The Spirit?

Chris

I woke up to those small hands that always messes with me while I sleep.

"CiAira, leave Daddy alone." I heard Lex say as I fluttered my eyes open.

"Daddy!" She screamed as a big smile took over her face. I laughed as I picked her up and showered her with kisses.

"Where's your brother?" I asked.

"Downstairs." She said as she pointed out the room. I went downstairs carrying CiAira in my arms.

"Hey baby." I said walking into the kitchen. She was making Caden a bottle.

"Hey bubba." She said smiling at me before returning her attention back to Caden. I let CiAira wonder off before walking to the Caden's car seat.

"Little man." I said playing with his little hands. "Little man." I cheesed like a big ass kid.

"I'm about to feed him." Lex said shaking up his bottle.

"I'll feed him bae." I said to Lex as I picked up Caden.

"You sure?" She asked.

"Yeah. Give me some time with my boy." I said before she reached up to peck my lips.

"I'll go find the stuff to set up the tree." She said after kissing Caden's head.

"Aight." I said walking to the living room and sitting down. I turned on the TV to ESPN to see last night's highlights. Caden was killing his bottle, fat ass, he always drinking the whole bottle. He about to be 3 months in 2 weeks. We already got all their gifts. Christian is suppose to be coming over tonight and spending Christmas with us. Vanessa got some type of plans and doesn't feel obligated to care for our son or spend the holiday with him. Sometimes I wonder what I was thinking when I was messing with her. Only good out of that relationship was Christian.

"Daddy, can I put the angel on the tree?" Ci Ci asked me. Her speech and pronunciation of her words are becoming better by the days.

"Yeah. Daddy will help you." I said before she ran away towards Lex to help put ornaments on the tree. My little girl is growing up on me. Looking just like her momma.

"I'll take him while you help her." Lex said once they were finished putting the lights and ornaments on the tree.

"Aight." I said getting up and helping CiAira put the angel on the top of the tree.

"Daddy? Can I see Santa?" Ci Ci asked after I put her down.

"No. Santa can't be seen baby." I said

"Why? I wanna see him."

"Cause Santa has a lot of kids to deliver presents to. If you see him, he wouldn't be able to leave cause he wouldn't want to leave your cuteness behind." I said to her.

"Why?" She asked again.

"Never mind." I said giving up. "Go find your momma." I said grabbing my controller to my PS3 and turning it on. I can now chill and relax.

I've been running around all day. I am burning up and not feeling well at all. I took a nap on the couch while Chris played the game. He made sure to watch the kids while I tried to rest. I feel 10 times worse than before.

"Baby, are you sure you're okay?" Chris asked after putting the kids to bed. Christian was over and things were becoming difficult.

"Yes Chris. I'm just not feeling well."
