~Shonda POV~

 Im so excited I have 2 more months until the baby comes. I can not wait ! Calvin and I have already decorated the baby room and put pink furniture inside. Im so thankful God has finally blessed me with a baby. I know it took a long time but I kept my faith and well, here I am pregnant. Honestly, I think Calvin is more excited than me. He always talking about how he gone buy her MK purses, diamond earrings and Jordan's.

It was noon and I was cleaning up around the house when the doorbell rung. I was exhausted but somebody had to clean. I walked over slowly to the door and opened it.

I looked at Keyshia up and down as thoughts roamed in my head. She looked nice. She had on some jeans with some tan boots and a brownish scarf wrapped around a white tucked in V-neck.

I opened the door wider letting her in she had different color roses behind her back. She held them out to me smiling.I grabbed them flashing a fake smile.

"Your not gonna put them in a vase with water ?" She asked.

"I will." She nodded standing there nervously. "I see you decided to finally come and visit ." I said walking to the kitchen running water into a vase.

"Yea, I thought why not ." She sat down at the kitchen table.

"It' Monday, how come your not at school ?" I sat down across from her.

She cleared her throat. "I didn't come here to talk about me if you don't mind ."

I glanced upstairs and seen my mama making her way down. Keyshia looked behind her and watched her like a hawk.

"Is that who I think it is ?" My mama asked.

"Sure is ." I smiled.

"Hey !" She yelled holding her arms out for a hug. Keyshia was hesitant at first but gave her a small hug.

She gave me a kiss on my cheek. "Good morning mama."

"Are yall hungry ? I can make some breakfast like the old times ." She held up eggs and bacons smiling.

"That was the old times ." Keyshia said standing fixing her shirt.

We both looked at her. Keyshia can't never be civil she always have to start acting like a baby. I feel like she should let the past go, nobody can go back and fix it. It's all over and done with but she seem to not understand.

"I gotta go I was just stopping by." She started to walk away.

"Sit down little girl im about tired of you and this attitude you always have. You not grown im still your mama. I always will be and you cannot and will not continue to talk to me in this disrespectful way. Yes, I did mess up. We all know the story but your making yourself miserable because you cant seem to forgive and forget ." Mama explained.

"Oh, I did forgive but I will never forget. You can't just all of a sudden come back and try to run things ." Keyshia walked back into the dining room but closer to mama.

"No, you didn't. When you forgive you forget because it doesn't cross your mind anymore but your too busy paying attention to the past you cant seem to forgive me for my flaws. " Mama said fixing her a cup of coffee.

Keyshia looked down shifting from one foot to another. I guess she was trying to think of something to say but nothing came in mind. She sighed then sat back down.

*3 hours later*

They discussed everything and they both apologized to each other. My mama was so happy and relieved. I was glad that we all could be on good terms too. God is great and does work miracles. I been praying for change to come and for us all to get together and let the past go.
