"Come on baby" I said picking up my daughter.

"Mwommy where are we going" she said yawning. I just woke her up from her nap because my mother and father wanted to have dinner at Applebee's.

"To go see grandma and grandpa"

"Noooo... I don't like gwandpa he's a bitch" I popped her leg so quick.

"What I told you about saying that"

"Ow but you call the lwand owner that"

"Ok and you don't repeat it" I said walking out my apartment. I put Naelean down and locked the door. My phone then started buzzing in my purse. Naelean went in there and took it. She pressed the green button answering it.

"HI!" She shouted excitedly into the phone.

"She's here. Do you have cwandy" I finished locking the door taking my phone from her.

"Hello this is Onika Maraj" I said while grabbing Naeleans hand.

"Yeah Cookie right?" It was Million.

"Yeah" I said confused as to why he was calling me. I don't believe I worked today.

"Its Millions sorry to bother you but you have a shoot tomorrow at 12"

"What why wasn't I aware of this before"

"I just told you so now your aware and you have a ride I could pick you up" he said. I rolled my eyes.

"No that's fine maybe your wife needs a ride" I said. He chuckled.

"Bye millions"

"Bye cookie" he hung up. And I put my phone in my purse.

"Mwommy im wungry" I giggled at how she said it.

"I know baby. We're going to go eat with grandma and grandpa then I'm going to buy a new clothes because these have tiny holes in them" I said looking down at her sweater."

"Yay can I get twoys" she said cheering. Her smile made my heart melt. I would do anything to keep that smile on her face. Even if that meant dancing half naked for drunk men.

"Of course baby" we walked out of our building. There was a bunch of cops and ambulances outside. I picked Naelean up after she got scared of a screaming.

"THAT WAS MY BABY! MY BABY!" I heard a lady screaming.

"Mwommy why is she scweaming" Naelean asked. Her eyes were big and started forming tears.

"NICKI! NICKI!" I heard. I looked up and one of my neighbors Wilma came running up to me.

"What happened Wilma" I asked.

"THEY KILLED MY BABY GIRL NICKI! WHAT AM I SUPPOSE TO DO NOW!" She shouted crying. Her eyes were very red. She had veins popping from her forehead. She had a little girl around Naelean age. They always hung out at Analeases house playing. The news broke my heart.

"Oh my god. Lil Nia? How what happened?"

"There was a shooting. S-S-She wanted to go to the park. So as we were coming out we get stuck between a shooting. Next thing I hear is boom boom and m-m-my baby is on the floor with blood around her!" Wilma cried harder. Wow this neighborhood always has shootings and drug dealing. Wilma was actually planning on moving out. She was a nice young lady who was two years older than me. She also would give me rent money which I haven't gave her back yet.
