Dopest Love 4: The Re-up

Baby Blues

Tayshawn

I had never that I would be a dad and if I was I wouldn't be a good one. You see I had a dad but he was never home . He worked all the time . I mean he took care of us but never really took care of us. My mom basically raised me , Messiah and Kelly alone. I do give him credit though when he was around we had the most fun . Me and Siah learned how to be real men. Fishing every weekend and football on Friday and Saturday night late ice cream run to talk and caught up on what he had missed during the week . He was strict and expected nothing but the bes t from us and told us one day soon we would be kings of the castle . That one day came too soon , I was 14 and my dad was coming to get me from football game. Man posing as if he laid in the middle of the street . My father being a true man of God got out to help him . The man shoot him right in the face amd left him to die . I hadn't been so hurt in years. I hadn't learned all I need to know and was lost in all the weight I had taken on as man of the house , I wasn't a man , just a boy . So I mean being a dad now I hope I do the right things. Brittany tells me she knows I would be a great one . Her dad stepped in after mine left and pick up where ine had left off. I would have never thought me and her would be together again after all this time let alone married.

"Shawn ! What do you want to eat boy , my feet a killing me !"

"What ever you cook is fine !"

"Don't say that and when I cook you won't eat it !"

"Blue bird you know I will eat whatever you feed me !"

I walked in to the kitchen and wrapped my arms around her .

"Anyday now right?"

"Yep anyday now."

I kissed her neck. I loved to rock her in my arms . She did to , she said it made her feel safe and wanted. And both those things she was.

"Shawn can you feel that ? "

"What is that ? "

"Feet " she said with a grin

"That boy there always moving!" I laughed

"He only moves when your around ."

"No when your singing baby."

"Well then too but that's just to put him to sleep."

We both laughed at our son , Tj moving. He was strong too . I poked him one day and he almost kicked his way out of his mom . He was not playing .

"Go on now . Let me fix your plate. Where is Messiah ? "

"Knock knock , mmm , Brittany ! I know you cooking for me baby . I just love it I do ooo!" with his goofy self Siah was a card . He was like my twin . We look the same love our women the same . Dress alike , I taught gim very thing he knows .

"Aye blue bird! whatcha cook good looking?"

"Cocoa bread , bacon , eggs, grits, salt fish and aki !"

"Oh mama yes! I need me a Jamaica girl . I love her cooking . "

"Any girl can cook this food . I am just plain black it doesn't have to have a title . My family is mixed but still just blacl will suit me fine . Ha ha . Come on lets eat !" She said sitting down two plates .

"Shawn pray please"

"God I want to thank you for all tha blessings you have put before me and the new life you have given me and my wife . As we venture through this life guide us with you devine light . Thank for my family and protect them . Lord's name , Amen."

"That was a good one Tookie . Oh my bad Tayshawn ."

"Siah she knows ."

"You told her ? When ?"
