Sabrina
We pulled into Mama's house and all I heard was Jessica going on and on about being nervous on whether or not Mama would like her. I know it sounds bad but I hope Mama hated this woman. She was doing everything in her power to break me and August apart I felt it. As soon as the car came to stop I ran with Christian to the door. I was excited to see her, I missed her so much. She came running and meeting me half way like always. She hugged me tight and soon took Christian from me and started kissing him all over his face. "Awwww I missed y'all so much" she said smiling. "Mama !" I heard August shout and he came jogging towards us "August" she said just above a whisper as he hugged her tightly. "My baby boy" she said crying. I tried to take Christian from her so they could fully hug and she frowned and snatched him back. "Don't touch him. I haven't seen my grandbaby since he was born" "Excuse me I'm sorry to break up the family moment but Hi I'm Jessica" she said reaching her hand out to be shaken. You could see the disapproval on mama face as she tried to mask it. "Oh hello I'm Juanita" she said reaching her hand out to meet Jessica's. " May I call you Mama " Jessica asked "You may not. Come on in so I can show y'all around" It was now my turn to giggle and I didn't even try to hide it. I walked pass a shocked Jessica and into the living room of the house I basically grew up in. It was flooded of pictures of all her children with the exception of me of course. She even had the one with me and my biological mother when I was 4. My mom and mama were reading telling me about something, I don't know what but I was smiling. I started smiling and a tear fell down my face I felt a hand on my shoulder. "I always wonder why you never speak on her. She loved you so much. She made terrible decisions but she loved you. " I nodded and went into the kitchen to get a napkin and something to drink. On the way in there I passed by August and a very angry Jessica. "Are you going to say anything to her about being so rude to me" she nagged "What you want me to say that's my mama. Just deal with it she'll warm up to you" August said. He glanced at me and saw my eyes were redder than usual. " Sabrina why you been crying" he said becoming concerned with me. This is why I stayed. I knew he was just trying to come to terms of how to go about taking care of Jessica so that probably explained his behavior lately. I smiled at him and touched his shoulder as I walked by the two into the kitchen. They followed and sat at the island. I ignored their stares and fixed myself a glass of water. "Y'all want something" I said trying to be nice. "Naw I'm straight" August said. "Get me a water with ice" Jessica said with an evil glare. I shook my head and fixed it for her. "Hey ma what you cooking tonight" I yelled to her from the kitchen. "About that baby can you cook for me I'm tired and I want to lay down with Christian" "Sure thing mama I guess I'll start now. Y'all up for a big dinner or something simple" "Big dinner I'm hungry as hell" August said eagerly. I laughed at his greediness. "Alright then it's settled um Jessica why don't you help Sabrina cook" "Oh I can't cook" she replied and that didn't surprise me. You know what they say about women who can't cook. " You're about to be a mother. It's time to learn" and with that Mama walked out of the kitchen. "Well get to cooking. Sabrina make my favorites baby" August said kissing me on my cheek and walking out of the kitchen leaving me and Jessica alone for the first time in a long time. "Soooooooo" I said trying to start a conversation while washing my hands. "Look cut the crap I don't like you, you don't like me let's not pretend" I laughed her off and got to cooking. No time for petty bitches.
(Dinnertime)
I laid out the last bit of the food and called everybody to the table Mama had already feed Christian and laid him down so he was straight. August walked in rubbing his hands together smelling the food. Jessica waddled into dining area behind him with mama following. "Mmmmm baby this smells so good" he said as he sat down. "Thank you baby" I said kissing him. I placed his plate in front of him and then mama putting only the things I knew she wanted. "What do you want on your plate Jessica" I asked politely. "Everything please" she said almost rudely. We prayed over the food and then Mama cut her eyes at Jessica who was laughing with August about something. "You show no respect" Mama said as I took my plate and sat at the head of the table. "Are you talking to me" Jessica asked dumbfounded. "Yes I am. All day I've witness you disrespect her and I'm shocked August hasn't said anything to you." "With all do respect Juanita I've been trying to be nice to Sabrina but she's not trying with me." I looked at her shocked. How dare she sit here and lie on me like this. "Wow" I said just above a whisper. If this bitch wasn't pregnant I thought. "I know for a fact you're lying" Mama said shaking her head at Jessica. "Ma chill out why you coming at her like that" August spoke up from eating. "Are you kidding me August you take up for her but won't utter a single word to her about how she's treating Sabrina ? I've raised you better than this and you deserve better than that" she said pointing at Jessica and continuing to eat her food. All of a sudden I didn't feel so good I think the smell of all the food really got to me. I ran to bathroom and threw up everything I had consumed that day. I felt hands pulling my hair back and knew it was Mama. I sat up and pulled my knees to my chest confused. Mama closed the door and stood with her back to mirror facing me. "How far along are you"
