For the first time in a while everything seemed... perfect; my family was doing good, Noah and Jade were back on track (for now), Trinity though he was still grieving was getting back to his old self, my dad and Yuri were good as always, and my baby girl was simply... perfect. That was the only word I could use to describe her, fatherhood was something I've always wanted and now that I had one child my mind was starting to come up with all sort of crazy ass number the highest being ten. But my fiancee Mario wasn't having it, the highest he would go was three and even that was pushing it but I could tell he loved Mi'Nessa every time he looked at her, the other night we almost got into a fight because I wanted to hold her but Mario wouldn't give her up. He better be lucky I loved his ugly ass otherwise.... nah I'm just talking shyt but this control he had over me was something that really needed to change, Uncle Marcus was definitely off my Christmas list because he was the reason Mario was running MY household now. I sat on the couch watching Mario nod off with Mi'Nessa in his hands and before I could get up I got smacked in the face.....
"Listen to me....." Troix said. "I want a car, and a dog, and a boat, and a house, and a brother, and a......" Troix went on and on and on and on....... It was my own fault though for asking him what he wanted for Christmas, Jakari was so simple he wanted a coloring book but Troix.... that little dude wanted the world and most likely I would give it to him.
"Troix go somewhere....." Noah said from the corner, dude was exhausted; he had just got back from practice so I knew he would probably be sleeping in a couple minutes. "Y'all got him spoiled." Noah said nodding off as well and I wanted to remind him that as Troix's uncle it's was my job to spoil him then send his little bad ass home.
"Toussaint come change the baby....." Mario said dozing off again and though my head was saying 'Hell No' my body moved on its own. I changed Mi'Nessa will Troix made little comments saying that Mi'Nessa stinks and he how he wanted some ice cream. "You cooking tonight?" Mario asked and it was crazy how I knew he was asking me instead of telling me.
"I guess I can cook... what do you want to eat?" I asked but Mario walked over to the cabinets and started pulling everything out. "I'm about to go put Mi'Nessa down for her nap." I said kissing him on the cheek. I put the baby in her crib and walked back downstairs, where Noah was sitting up playing with Troix and Jakari; I really admired that about him he was dead on his feet yet he still pushed through to make his boys happy.
"Bro, have you seen this?" Noah asked passing me his phone at first I thought it was a video but it was actually a story, a fanfic to be exact. "Yeah that one of my teammates showed it to me.... why he was looking at gay fanfic is none of my business but.... 'm guessing the author doesn't know we're cousins." Noah said shaking his head.
"Yeah, I love you bro but not like that.... to be honest, I'm more upset that author thinks I'm a feminine bottom." I said laughing. "But I could use a good laugh so send me the link." I said sitting next to him. "How are the twins." I asked as Troix climbed into my lap and resumed telling me his Christmas list.
"They're teething.... Jade and Jose took them to see her mom or something." Noah said as he watched Jakari began playing with the building blocks. "You know he reminds me a lot of you.... I mean how you were when you first touched down, you were so quiet yet you had this determination in your eyes. Jakari seems smarter than he lets on, he likes to sit back and observe people." Noah said.
"And Troix reminds me a lot of you, always running his mouth thinking he runs thing when we both know Jakari is the one in the back pulling the strings.... Ayy remember when we were terrorizing Lafayette with the paintball guns?" I asked laughing.
"Hell yeah, that dude was about to kill us....." Noah said laughing. "I can't believe that I let you talk me into doing that shyt." He said and I smirked because I could see Jakari pulling some stunt like that. A couple minutes later my dad and Uncle Khalil showed up, and Uncle Khalil took all the kids with him saying that we've earned a break (after he cussed me out or not telling him about the baby).
