I hugged everyone at the door. "Thank y'all for coming." I told everybody and closed the door. It was just me, the kids, My Aunt Sharon who was cleaning with a few of Regina's family, and Regina and Stacey who were also talking in the dining room.

"Daddy is mommy coming?" Eric asked and I shook my head.

"She's coming tomorrow. Why, you miss her?" He shook his head running off playing with Jeremiah and I laughed.

That boy is something else.

"Erica can you hand me the broom over there please?" Regina's mom asked and I nodded handing her the broom and then went sit on the couch on my phone.

Ma'Leah came climb on the couch laying on me. By time she's up. "You woke now?" I asked and she nodded. "You feel better?" She nodded and i rubbed her back kissing her forehead and turned the TV.

Ding Dong!

I put Ma'Leah to the side and got up going answer the door. I opened it seeing Jessica holding Maria's seat and she was inside crying.

"Glad you came .. at the last minute." I said with a blank face and rolled my eyes.

"Can you not do this Erica? At least I showed up." She said coming inside and put Maria's seat down picking her up. "Here. I brought her to say hello." She said and I took her from her.

"Heyy chubby butt." I said playing with her and she laughed.

"Ria laughing daddy!!" Ma'Leah said and I smiled nodding.

"Yeah, you wanna play with her?" She nodded and I put Maria in her swing.

Just then, my Aunt Sharon came in the living room. "Look at my little babyy. Hi Maria." She cooed.

"Girl you are too funny." Regina said. I turned around and seen her and Stacey coming back in the living room.

Jessica sighed and I pretended like i didn't hear.

"Aww look at the little one." Regina said coming sit and shook Maria's hand a little playing wit her. Maria just stared at everybody.

"Um .. can you not touch my baby?" Jessica asked Regina and everyone looked at Jessica. Including me.

"She's not just your baby Jessica. It took two to make her. They can play with her all they want. It's not like they making her cry." I said.

"Okay I understand that but I don't want them touching her. Who knows? Maybe their fingers are dirty!" Jessica said and I rolled my eyes shaking my head. Just when the day was going good.

"Excuse me? Sweetie my hands are clean you can smell of you want." Regina said getting up. "Let me move around." She said and you already know what that meant.

"Lil girl don't come in here disrespecting people. This is this child's side of the family and we're gonna play with her. I don't care if you like it or not." Aunt Sharon said.

"Well I'll jus take my baby with me and go." She begun to unbunckle Maria from the swing but i moved her hand buckling her back. Jessica looked at me. "Erica, please don't start " She said.

"No you don't start! Today is my son's birthday and everything was going perfectly fine until your ass came. For all this, you should've never showed up like you said! You can leave but Maria not going anywhere. She's gonna spend some time with her brothers and sisters." I fussed and Jessica went to do it again but I moved her hands. "Jessica I'm not fucking playing with you. Go." I said.
