It's been a month. My bad.

Rakim
I looked down at Nemiah as she gummed on my stomach. "Nem&Nem"
Her eyes widened like she heard me, but she was ignoring my ass.
"I'm proud of you" I nodded my head. "Do what you want"
"Daddyyyyyyy" Rocky said, stomping around on the floor.
Nemiah looked at him and climbed up onto me.
"Hi, WayWay" Rocky walked up to her.
"Girls aren't called Raven" I reminded.
Nemiah blew bubbles and dropped her head down on me.
Rocky put his finger in her face and popped the next bubble that she blew.
It scared her, and she shook a bit.
"You slow moving like a turtle" I said, patting her back.
"Ah" She said before yawning.
Khass walked in and Nemiah moved away from me real quick.
"Hi, Nemmy" Khassidy lifted her and kissed her all over her face. "Hi, Rocky"
"Hiiiiii" He spun around and dropped on the ground.
Nemiah giggled wildly and grunted like she had to shit.
Khass leaned Nemiah down to where Rocky was. "Nemiah's about to take a nap now. Do you want to say goodbye?"
"Byeee" He said and stood up, giving her a wet kiss.
"Say bye daddy" Rocky said and turned to look at me, waiting.
"Bye Nemiah" I said plainly.
Nemiah took one look at me and frowned before she started crying.
Fake ass.
"Ion care, I'll get a new daughter" I sat up. "Khass, give me a new daughter"
"Not a chance" She laughed and left the room. "You know how you are with kids."
I'm a great dad when I want to be.

"You look guilty, Myra" I stared at her.
"I was only trying to help the both of you" Myra said, not even looking in Dianna's direction.
"Why would you even bring me here, Rakim?" Dianna sighed.
"You can take Myra's money, but not look her in the face?" I asked Dianna.
"Rakim, that's enough" Myra said. "I'm sure that you've reminded her a thousand times over"
"No it's not. I don't even know what to do with her. She a sellout. I was hoping that y'all would lead the conversation, but nope. I guess y'all can piggyback off of what I have to say" I shook my head.
Rich walked into the kitchen and walked back out when he saw that all three of us were uncomfortable.
"Well then we should figure something out then" Myra put her head in her hands.
"Dianna, why did you have to be a freeloader? I just want to put everything out on the table now"
"I can't make money like you do, Rakim. I can't survive on the streets. I would have been dead forreal" Dianna said. "I'm trying to make something of myself"
"Why didn't you just come to me? That fake death shit and the abortion put us in a terrible place"
"I was just thinking about the money"
"Duhhhh" I dragged. "Imma say this to you for the last time in my life. Money don't come easy"
"Ella-"
"Ella collects money from the state" I told her. "I know you remember her hounding me in school about money and diapers. And either way, she got my kid. You killed my other one. Murderer"
"You have so much money, Rakim! Why are you doing this?" Dianna asked me.
"If I don't get easy money, then neither do you. Period." I shook my head.
And there were no if, ands or buts about it.
"You do-"
"My son getting hit by cars and shit. Myra sacrificing her whole damn career and livelyhood. My father just came out of hiding. I'm getting shot, robbing banks-"
"Robbing what?" Myra looked at me.
"We walking on a thin line, stepmommy" I glared at her.
"Later. We'll talk later." Myra said.
"See what you did? I'm trying to prove my point, and you got me telling a parole officer that I robbed a bank. We are in a very compromising situation." I said.
"I'm sorry, Rakim. From the very bottom of my heart, I am truly sorry. I was just trying to save myself" Dianna said.
Myra sighed. "I'm sorry too. I was trying to help the both of you, but I ended up making everything worse."
"Meddling ass" My dad said from the other side of the door.
"Shut up, Rich" Myra spoke loudly.
I heard Raven giggle from the other side of the door. "Shut up Rich"
Raven screamed wildly and giggled before my father burst into the room with her on his shoulder.
"I accept your apologies...but imma need time to heal" I smirked.
"I love you, Rocky" Myra said, looking at me.
"Ewww. Soft stuff. Bawk bawk, quack, quack. I love you too"
