"AJ if you don't stop." I try giving him a bath. "Lookin' like yah daddy."

AJ stop moving and looked at me with a mug on his face.

"No you didn't." I laughed, taking back a little.

"Dat's wad chu get." August came in the kitchen laughing with Liyah in his arms.

"Haven't been in the world for a full week yet and already gotta attitude." I grabbed the bath wrap, smoothly taking AJ out the baby bath.

"Wanna switch?"

"Yea." August nodded, swopping kids. "Wassup lil' man?" August held him up.

"If you don't hold my child the right way." I threatened. "Acting like you the dang Lion King."

"Ahhhh ti-pa-yahh!!" August yelled, hold AJ up in the air.

"One, them are not the words." I laughed. "Two, put my child down." I pointed my finger towards the floor.

"Yah mama no fun." August smacked his teeth, holding AJ the right way.

"Thank you." I stood on my toes kissing August lips, walking out the kitchen.

"Ahhhhh ti-..." August began.

"I'm going to kill your Daddy." I smiled at Liyah.

Liyah looked up at me giggling.

"Thank you." August said looking over at me while driving.

"For what?" I frowned.

"My kids; both of dem, even doe one of 'em not mine, she's mine." He smiled looking ahead at the road.

"You're welcome." I kissed his cheek. "You getting soft on me?"

"It's yo' fault, a nigga can't help it. Got me confessin' my feelings and shit, like I'm Usher."

I laughed as he pulled up to his mama's house.

"Damn they really wanna see the baby." I was a little shocked by how many family members was at the house.

"We got da first grand boy it's kind of a big deal."

"I see." I smiled, nodding my head.

Parking at the end of the driveway, August grabbed peanut, waiting for me to get Liyah and the diaper bag before walking up.

"August I'm gonna kill your family." Cha opened the door.

"Sammme." He agreed stepping through the threshold.

"Hey baby girl." Cha took Liyah out my arms. "How yah feelin'?" She hugged me, kissing my cheek.

"Tired." I hugged back.

"Heard yah gave water birth. You brave." She held a finger up.

"Just know it hurt like hell." I chuckled. "That head wasn't nothin' to play with."

"Well I mean look at Aug's head."

We laughing walking into the living room where everyone was at.

"He got August head, mama." Trav said, making everyone laugh.

"See." Cha whispered, nudging my side with her elbow.

"Read between da lines." August held three fingers up.

Watching everyone surround them, August hand AJ over to his mama.

"Dey devoured me." August came by me.

"He gonna be so spoiled." I shook my head.

"At least he gonna know he's love."

"No he gonna know he can do whatever he wants."

"Just like you." August rest his hand on my hips, with smirk.

"No I don't, nasty." I knew what he was referring to.

"Five mo' weeks." He slide one of his hands to ass.

"Really in front of your mama?" I moved his hand back up.

"Five mo' weeks." August repeated, mumbling against my lips; leaning down kissing me.

"Get a room." Cha whispered, walking by us.
