Fuck all these dates, I'm just start naming the chapters 💀
"Stop talking to me, thats what you can do. Stop fucking talking to me."Damita walked down the stairs with Amari on her hip. She sat her in a high chair then pulled it to the kitchen.
"You ain't even try to hear my piece. I'm trying to explain to you so you won't be upset and you not even listening."Amaru followed her into the kitchen.
"You're right. I'm not listening, because I don't care."Damita turned around and looked into the refrigerator.
"And what the fuck you put her in this chair for? She don't want to be in this shit."Amaru took Amari out of the high chair. "Shit, she don't gotta be in your face all the time. Let her crawl around and play with her toys."
Amaru took her out of the chair and sat her on the floor with her favorite toy.
"She's a one year old, Amaru. She needs to be watched."Damita disagreed with him. "You just think you know everything."
"I didn't say I did, but I have more experience taking care of kids than you do."Amaru told her.
"Who's child have you been taking care of?"Damita put her hand on her hip.
"It's a lot of kids I been — you always trying to fucking argue. You just got home."Amaru snacked his lips.
"Nobody's arguing with you. I just asked your stupid ass a question."Damita rolled her eyes and continued what she was doing.
Amari was on the floor playing and threw her pacifier across the room. She crawled over to it and tried to put it back in her mouth but Damita took from her.
"Let mommy wash this off for you."Damita put the pacifier under water.
"You need to stop giving her that. She has teeth."Amaru took the pacifier away from Damita.
"She has two teeth! The doctor said it's perfectly fine for her to still use her pacifier."Damita tried to take it back from him.
"Alright smart ass. When she 15 and need braces because her teeth fucked up, it'll be your fault. Blame your mommy."Amaru laughed sarcastically.
"Says the man who sucked his thumb until he was 12. Are your teeth fucked up?"Damita asked him.
"Oh so you trying to be funny?"Amaru leaned in the counter. He still had the pacifier in his hand and Amari wanted it back.
At first she started to crawl to him, but she changed her mind. She stopped, stood up and walked to her father reaching for the pacifier.
She pulled it out of his hand and put it in her mouth then start walking back to her toys.
Damita saw her and started smiling. "Oh my god."
"Don't be trying to change the subject now."Amaru looked down noticing the pacifier was no longer in his hand.
He looked up and saw Amari walking.
"Oh my baby just started walking. You're a big girl now."Damita picked Amari up and start kissing on her. "Stop growing up,Amari. You're making mommy sad."
"Ooh I'm about to go buy her some more shoes."Amaru got excited. "I gotta call momma and tell her that Amari just started walking."
In an instant they had forgotten what they were arguing about. Their child made them so happy.
"I think my baby deserves some kind of treat because she walked today. What you think, daddy?"Damita smiled at him.
"You wanna go for ice cream?"Amaru asked her and she smiled.
Amaru took them to the nearest ice cream shop and they sat outside.
He ordered two scoops of rocky road (That shit nasty as hell to me, but Amaru seems like a rocky road type of nigga.) while Damita shared her two scoops of strawberry with Amari.
"Her lil ass is gonna drive is us up the wall tonight."Amaru chuckled.
"I already know. She gets a pass tonight though. I'm so proud of her."Damita kissed Amari in the cheek.
"We made a beautiful baby."Amaru smiled, watching Damita feed their daughter ice cream.
"We did. Do you think all of our kids will be as beautiful as her?"Damita rubbed Amari's hair.
"All? You gone let me give you some more?"Amaru have a big kool-aid smile.
"Maybe. In a couple years though, not now. My baby still has a lot of growing up to do and she needs her mommy's undivided attention."Damita cleaned Amari's face. "I love being a mother. Nothing had ever made me happier then being a mother to this little girl. Being in love with you makes me happy too and I love you more now because you gave me her, but Amari brings me so much joy. It doesn't matter if I'm bathing her or feeding her or just having her sleep with me, it all makes me so happy that sometimes I'm scared for her to get older because I want her to just be in my arms forever being my babygirl."Damita smiled at Amari and she smiled back.
"I feel the same way about being a father. I love seeing her smile and hearing her. Knowing I created something so beautiful with a beautiful person does something to my spirit."Amaru smiled as he took a spoonful of ice cream. "And I'd do over and over again if means that I could watch you smile and be happy while taking care of our baby. Watching you be her mother makes me happy because I have a part in it. I love y'all."
"We love you too, daddy."Damita kissed him on the lips and Amari started laughing.
"Why are you laughing little girl?"Damita smiled and pinched her cheeks. "You want mommy to kiss you too? Hmm?"
Amaru leaned over and started tickling her then she started laughing and kicking in her mother's lap.
He stopped then she laid on Damita's chest then he started up again.
"Stop it now, Amaru she's drooling all on my shoulder." Damita grabbed a napkin and wiped her shoulder.
"Alright, Alright. You ready to go?"He asked.
"Yes. Amari is sticky. She needs to take a bath."Damita got up and Amaru grabbed all of their trash. Then they went back home.
