--Julliet Parris--
"Move, ugly." Guilia said as she pushed her brother, instantly making sigh in exasperation.
"You ugly." He retorted as he pinched her.
"Ow!" She screeched. "I'm telling!"
"I'm telling too." He countered.
"Mommy!" Guilia yelled as she ran toward me.
"Krystopher pinched me, Mommy." She complained.
"And what did you do to Krystopher for him to pinch you?" I asked.
"Nothing."
"Don't lie. What did you do?" I repeated.
"I gave him one little push." She exaggerated.
"Apologize to Krystopher." I instructed. "And Krystopher, you apologize to your sister." I directed toward him. "And no fighting in the kitchen!" I scolded the both of them as I continued chopping vegetables.
I listened as Krys and Lia exchanged apologies and smiled to myself.
"What did they do?" Geo asked as his hand snaked around my midsection and his chin was propped up on my shoulder.
"Fight as usual." I shook my head.
"I'm beginning to feel like they got it from us." He chuckled.
"That's not even funny." I rolled my eyes.
"It's not, but it's probably true." He kissed my cheek.
"What you cooking anyway?" He asked.
"Lasgna, steamed vegetables and pork chops." I smirked.
"You asking to be fucked good tonight." He growled as he grabbed my ass.
"Geo, stop. The kids are right there." I warned as I wiggled out of his grip
"You know your pussy already wet for me, but you wanna play." He whispered in to my ear before kissing my cheek and leaving.
As of late, Geo and I haven't been able to have much sex. The kids were almost always present, so I understood that he has been craving some lately.
"Mommy?" Krystopher tugged at the hem of my top.
"Yes baby?" I looked down at him.
"Can I have a snack?" He pouted.
"Sure baby." I responded as I washed my hands off in the sink and proceeded to grab him a banana from the fruit bowl on the counter.
I handed it to him and watched as a small smile crept its way on to his handsome little face.
"Thank you, Mommy." He said as he peeled the banana and made his way back over to the table where him and his sister were coloring.
"Where you get that?' Guilia sassed, rolling her neck.
"Mommy gave it to me." He innocently replied.
"She's my Mommy, not yours." Guilia narrowed her eyes at her brother.
"She's my Mommy too." Krys argued and I could already see the tears gathering on his waterline.
"Guilia!" I scolded.
"What?" She asked with an obvious attitude in her voice. "It's true." She argued.
"No it's not!" Krystopher opposed as he threw the banana peel at her.
"It is to!" Guilia retorted.
Sighing exasperatedly, I walked over to them and grabbed Guilia out of her seat by her elbow.
"Stay here. Ok baby?" I said to Krystopher before dragging Guilia up the stairs to me and Geovanni's bedroom.
"What'd she do?" Geo questioned from the bed where he was laid out, watching the television.
"You're about to find out." I responded as I released Guilia from my grip. "Sit down!" I commanded her as I pointed to the bed.
"I didn't do anything." She pouted as she folded her arms across her chest.
"Listen to me, Guilia." I sternly began. "Krystopher is my child. Ok?" I continued.
"But he's Ms. Krystal's baby, Mommy." She argued.
"He was." I countered. "He's my baby now."
"That's not fair." She continued.
"What's not fair?" Geo questioned as he scooted to the edge of the bed beside her.
"Mommy loves Krystopher more and she's not even his real mom." She complained.
"No she doesn't." Geo assured her.
"She does to." Guilia stayed unwaveringly defiant.
"I love you both the same." I corrected.
"You're supposed to love me more!" She argued.
Geo looked at me with a smirk affixed to his face and then it dawned on me; Guilia was a tiny me.
Though I loved Geovanni in my own way, I had always been jealous of his and my father's relationship.
I didn't quite act out like Guilia, because I was older and a bit more understanding, but it was all the same.
I felt like Geo came along and stole my Dad and she felt like Krys came along and stole her mother.
"Baby," I knelt before her as I held her tiny hands in my own. "Mommy promises you that she Ioves you, Krystopher and Genovia all the same."
"Ok Mommy." She nodded.
"And Krystopher is your Mommy's baby, Lia. Krystal was just being nice and carrying him for her,because Mommy already had you to take care of." Geo added making her nod slowly.
"Ok Daddy." She mumbled.
"But you're still in trouble for that attitude you showed earlier." I shrugged. "Stay here with Daddy until dinner's ready." I announced before leaving them both alone.

"What's been bothering you, Jules?" Geo asked groggily as he pulled me closer to himself. He probably woke up briefly and noticed me just lying there in my thoughts.
"Nothing." I shrugged, causing him to sigh and bury his face into the crook of my neck.
"Don't lie to me, Jules." He sternly stated.
"Fine." I huffed. "I'm upset about —" Suddenly Genovia's wailing cut me off, causing me to huff once more as I began to get up, but Geo grabbed my elbow and made me lay back down on the bed.
"I got her." He assured me as he rolled out of his side of the bed and went over to Gen, lifting her out of her cribNd immediately checked her diaper.
He made a turn into our bathroom, so I knew that the diaper was her problem and she was actually due for another breastfeeding session.
Geo re-entered our bedroom with a less fussy Genovia , who was wearing a clean diaper.
He lifted her toward me and I sat up, getting myself situated to feed her. After I was comfortable, Geo placed Gen into my arms as I proceed with feeding her.
"We're finishing that talk on the morning if she doesn't go back to sleep right away." He informed me as he flicked through channels on our t.v.

Some of y'all are probably tired of Julliet and her issues, but, it's something she's working on. Give her creds. 😀
Anyway, let's talk...
Are these chapters long enough?
Is there something specific that you want to see happen in this book?
Should I make a part 2?
Would y'all like me to do a q&a book about myself?
