Fourth of July

Chapter 29

The only non-Asian character I will condone in Mulan live-action is Eddie Murphy

Jamia helped me with the tape measurer as Gee stood straight against the wall. I bit my lip as I measured him.

"Looks like you're about four feet tall," I said.

"I'm not four feet, Daddy, I only gots two feet," Gee said, sticking out his foot to show me.

"You're so cute," Jamia said, kissing his cheek.

"Last night of tour, are you excited, Gee?" I asked and he nodded.

We had been planning on going to Disney World in Florida but with the baby coming I didn't want to spend that much money so we decided to just leave that trip in the future when Miles is a little bit bigger and he can go and have fun there too.

"I wanna snuggle in my princess bed," Gee said. "I don'ts like sleeping in the van."

I smiled, holding his hand.

"Come on, you wanna go outside and walk around for a bit?" I asked.

"Can I get treats?" He asked.

"Yeah, Baby, you can get a treat," I said with a small chuckle.

We went outside and Jamia held Gee's other hand, which was bundled up tight in the warm hug of his pink mitten. Gee tripped and ended up falling face first into a pile of snow.

"Fuck," I muttered.

Gee screamed as I pulled him up.

"You don't have to be scared, it's just snow," I said.

"It's on me! It's on me!" Gee shrieked, looking at the pile of snow on his arm. "It's gonna hurt me! It's bad!"

We helped clean him off before we walked into a little store.

"You can go pick out a stuffie for being such a good boy on tour for me," I said.

Gee hurried off and I quickly followed. I frowned in confusion when Jamia didn't follow and we were split up in the store. I let Gee pick up a giraffe and I paid for it.

"Hey, where'd you go?" I asked when Jamia walked out of the store while we waited outside.

"I got you a gift," she said.

She held out the bag and I frowned. I reached inside, pulling out a white, short-sleeved baby bodysuit. On it in black letters it said 'Daddy's Biggest Fan' with music notes surrounding it.

"Mia, this is amazing, thank you so much," I said, kissing her cheek.

"Daddy, I think you're too big for that," Gee said.

"It's not for me," I said with a small chuckle. "It's for Miles."

"Who?" Gee asked.

"Miles, my son," I said. "The one who is gonna be joining us soon."

"Daddy, What does it say?" He asked.

"It says that Miles is my biggest fan," I said.

"No he isn't!" Gee cried. "I am! Not him!"

"You don't even like my music," I said.

"I'm your biggest fan!" Gee shrieked.

"You don't have to be jealous, Sweetheart, I love both of you exactly the same," I said, kissing his cheek.

Gee sniffled quietly and held my hand.

"But you love me more?" Gee asked.

"I love you the same," I said.
