Beyoncé POV

I'm back in Houston and I'm ready to go already. It was good seeing the Rowlands and Williams but that's the only people I care about seeing. Kelly and Michelle are here but other people keep grabbing them. I should have just stayed at home.
"Girl I'm so tired of people asking me where you are."
"I've been sitting in the same spot."
"Well I know that but they don't. Why don't you go mingle around?"
"Kelendria. I. Don't. Fuck. With. Them."
She burst out laughing, "I knowww. But you're my bestfriend and they just remember seeing us together all the time."
"They just want to be nosey."
"Ya baby daddy is here." Michelle said coming over.
"Great."
"That's not it." she said taking another sip from her red cup. "Meghan is too."
"What?"
"Now why would he do that?" Kelly said shaking her head.
"Mommy!!"
"Kenzie stop screaming."
"I couldn't find you." she said climbing in my lap. "I miss daddy."
"I know you do."
"Hey y'all seen Aubri?" King said coming over to us.
"King you were supposed to be watching them both."
"I saw them in the bounce house then I looked up and Aubri was gone."
"Come on. She shouldn't be far."
We walked around the house and I saw Aubri sitting with her chest going up and down fast. Her face was turning red as Shawn knelt down to her level. The hell is going on? See I'm trying to be calm in Mama Doris's house.

"Why you crying Aubri?" Kenzie was trying to wipe her sister's tears for her

"Why you crying Aubri?" Kenzie was trying to wipe her sister's tears for her.
She kept hyperventilating, "Breathe baby."
"I- I- I want to go h- home."
I picked her up, long legs and all, and proceeded upstairs. Shawn was following behind me along with Kenzie. I sat her down and King came in with a cup of water for her. She hasn't had an asthma attack since she was younger.
"I need you to breathe for me and tell me what's wrong."
"Princess can you tell daddy what's wrong?"
She shook her head no, "Bye Shawn."
"What?"
"She's not calming down or speaking with you in here."
"I'm not leaving her like this."
"You're not helping either." He didn't budge, "Aubri do you want daddy to leave?"
She nodded. He sighed, "Let me know what's wrong with her."
"I got you, now bye. King take Kenzie and go find TT Kelly."
Once everyone left she crawled over to me and hugged me tight. "I want to go home."
"We will but you need to tell me why you were crying."
"I don't want daddy to marry her. She's mean to me."
"Huh?"
"A lady asked daddy about marrying her, he said one day."
Now I knew what that meant but to a child that's a whole different meaning. "Aubri your daddy isn't just going to up and marry somebody without talking to you and King. Same goes for me, but that's nothing for you to be this upset over. Now how is she mean to you?"
"I don't like her mommy."
"Why?"
"....."
"Use your words Aubrielle."
"She told me that she was going to start a family with daddy. I told her that he already has one with me, you, and King. She told me things change. Then she pinched me on my arm."
I looked at her confused, "When was this?"
"Earlier today."
I looked at her arm and it was a little bruised. "Look, you're good. Don't cry over her, she's a nobody. You will always be the number one girl in your daddy's life, okay?"
"Yes."
"Go ask Mama Doris for some ice. Then go clean your face and play with your siblings and cousins." She cleaned up and we walked out of the room.
"Aubri-" She went smooth past Shawn like she didn't see him.
I chuckled and went to get a drink, "She's not talking to you."
"What I do? I just got here."
I glanced towards Meghan, "And you brought your girl too."
"Come on now. She ain't even been around them."
"Well that's why your daughter ain't speaking to you. She's not feeling her. And quite frankly you need to check how she treats my kids."
"What you mean?"
"Aubri has told me on more than one occasion she talks out the side of her neck. And she pinched Aubri."
"What?"
"She-"
"Shawn baby." Meghan said interrupting us. "Come dance with me."
"Excuse you. We were having a conversation."
"It can wait I'm sure."
"Babe, it's about the kids."
"Baby pleassseee." She looked pathetic.
"You don't mind do you?"
"Yeah I do but go on."
"Great. Thanks girl." she began pulling him away.
"We are having a sit down, all three of us." I called out to him. "Tomorrow before I leave. You and your perfect girl."
