James comes up, and gives her a big hug, and gives her kisses. Mrs. Susan gives her kisses as well. Me and Faith quickly go upstairs, to get into the bath. I get the water turned off, and I start to get Faith undressed. "James." I yell. He didn't come, so I called him again. "James."
   Not even three minutes later, Mrs. Susan came into the bathroom. "James went to your moms house to see Nicole and Silas, is there anything that I can help you with?" I pulled some hair behind my ear, "Yes ma'am. Kind of weird, but can you go into James's room and look in my bag and get that sports bra that's in there please?"
   Mrs. Susan walks out, then opens my bag. She walks back into the bathroom, and hands it to me. "Thank you." I wrap Faith in a towel, and hands her to Mrs. Susan. "Can you hold her for a second?" Mrs. Susan grabs Faith and holds her. I take my tank top off, and put my sports bra on. I take my shorts and underwear off, then sat in the tub.
   Mrs. Susan unwraps Faith, then hands her to me. "Is there a reason you had me do that?" I laughed, and looked at Mrs. Susan. "Yes ma'am, you see every time we got in the tub, I always fed her so that way she would stay still. Well now that we are weaning her. I'm not going to be feeding her while we are in the tub together. So I put my sports bra on, so she can't get free access to my breast."  Mrs. Susan looks at me "Oh okay. I understand now. I was so confused. But I gotcha now. Well I'll let you get done with what your doing."
   Mrs. Susan walked out, and I washed Faith. I leaned back on the wall of the tub, and sat Faith on my legs facing me. I put my hand on my belly, and one hand behind Faith. My two youngest babies, together with mommy. Can't wait to meet my little peanut.
   As I'm rubbing my belly, and talking to Faith, Mrs. Susan comes in with my phone. "Here you go Grace. It's Brooke." She hands me the phone. "Mrs. Susan can you get Faith please?" Mrs. Susan shakes her head yes, and grabs Faith with a towel.
   "Hey Brooke. What's up?" "Hey girl, I have a question." "Okay. Ask." "Are you busy tonight?" "No, just staying with Mrs. Susan why do you ask?" Next thing I know, Brooke sighs. "Can I stay with you tonight?" "Well actually I'm at Mrs. Susan's house tonight." Mrs. Susan heard Brooke over speaker phone. "Brooke you are welcome anytime. You can come over tonight if you would like too." Mrs. Susan tells Brooke. "Are you sure you wouldn't mind Mrs. Susan, I mean you already have Grace, Faith, and James with you. I don't want to be in the way." "Psshhhh Brooke you come over tonight. We have plenary of room." "Thanks Mrs. Susan. I'll see y'all in a couple of minutes." Then Brooke hangs up.
   I get out of the tub, and get dried off. I put my shorts and underwear back on. "I'm going to try to find a comfy shirt. I'm just not comfy right now. I hurt all over." I say while groaning. "Girl, just go like that. I could care less. You are growing my grand baby. You get comfy however you want to. Heck, Even though this is weird to say, but I've seen you naked before, James has seen you before. Faith doesn't really understand. There are no boys. And I'm pretty sure Brooke could care less." "Thanks Mrs. Susan." Mrs. Susan gives me a hug.
