BPLS: The Finale

Parenting Problems

(The Next Day)

BRE

I just left after meeting with my lawyer. He said he didn't see any reason for me losing. But it was only the beginning and he warned me about things getting much worse. I was now on my way to my doctors appointment to check on the baby. Hopefully things are going well.

BAHJA

I woke up the next morning to the smell of breakfast. I got up and went to the bathroom and took a quick shower and brushed my teeth. I went downstairs and Prince was waiting for me in the kitchen with a bowl.

Bee: What happened to the breakfast?

Prince: We're running late, eat in the car.

Bee: Late for what?

Prince: Your doctors appointment. Remember, we hears the baby's heartbeat today.

Bee: Oh shit..yeah. I can't believe I forgot.

Prince: Ok go get in the car, I gotta go get something.

Bee: Ok.

I walked out to the car and waited. He didn't mention anything about last night...in fact he didn't mention much of anything. No good morning, no kiss on the cheek, no did you sleep well. I got in the passenger and buckled up and began to eat. Prince came back out and got into the car.

Prince: You ready?

Bee: Guess so..anything we need to talk about babe?

Prince: No..why I'm not forgetting something am I?

Bee: Well no but...you've been so distant lately. I thought last night would help but I guess it didn't since you still seem a little on edge.

Prince: No I'm fine.

Bee: You sure? Things don't seem the same anymore. You're never home, we barely talk, last night was the first time we had sex in a month. That's not normal for us at all. Especially not you.

Prince: I'm fine Bahj..just a little nervous about the baby that's all.

Bee: You weren't this nervous about Christian or Hope.

Prince: That's because I knew I could handle them two. Especially with Hope about to go off to college. We'll have more time on our hands to take care of Christian instead of always shipping him off to one of our parents.

Bee: Ok I get it now, your mom put you up to this.

Prince: No she didn't.

Bee: Yes she did I can tell! She never thought I was responsible enough to take care of kids ever since I got pregnant with Hope at 16. Now she's filling your head with the same thoughts.

Prince: No she isn't. I just don't wanna be one of those parents who abandon their kids. We're not teenagers anymore, our parents aren't gonna keep putting up with us throwing the kids at them every time we have something to do.

Bee: *sighs* What does this have to do with why your nervous.

Prince: I'm afraid I can't handle Christian and the baby all by myself.

Bee: All by yourself?! Really Princeton all by yourself?! What the fuck is that supposed to mean? I don't take care of my kids?

Prince: That's not what I meant, it didn't come out right.

Bee: Damn right that didn't come out right I should slap the shit out of you right now. We need to have a serious talk with your mother! Gonna have you sitting up here and tell me I don't take care of my kids! Ion know who the hell y'all think y'all talkin to! Shit...

NIQUE

I woke up the next day and heard screaming and crying. I got up and ran downstairs and saw Roc holding Starr as she screamed into shoulder.

Nique: Oh my god, sweetie what happened?!

Starr: *crying* It hurts!

Roc: She fell off counter and hit her head.

Nique: Aw sweetie let mommy see it.

Starr: *shakes her head no*

Roc: She's fine, I'm just gonna take her to lay down. *goes upstairs*

Nique: *follows* Starr, sweetie you want me to lay in here with you? Rub your back and make you feel better?

Starr: No I want daddy to do it.

Nique: *stares at Roc* Oh..ok. Well I'll be downstairs if you need something.
