Skipping to into the New Year

Chris' POV

The holiday season has passed. We drove up to New Orleans to visit the family there & show off Kennedi. This is the first time we've been back since my mama moved from there. But it's the new year & Imani is going back to work. She is having a fit cause she has to leave Kennedi for the first time for 8 hours

"Imani, get up & get ready before you are late," I told her as she sat on the bed in just her underclothes after her shower 

"But, I don't want to leave her. I don't have to go back to work. I have money saved & I can go apply for food stamps, section 8 & county insurance," Imani said, like what the fuck

"No my wife will not to rely in the government for help. Now get up. You've been home 6 months with her. She's good. I'm here with her today cause its Monday. But the other days she's gone be with my mom. If you really want to you don't have to work cause I will take care of you & my princess regardless. But you need to go out & socialize with other people," I told her holding Kennedi 

"But ya'll don't know her like I do. I'm the one that's with her everyday all day. My baby needs me. I can go hang out with some other moms in the neighborhood. I don't have to go to work to socialize with people," she said

"Imani she is 6 months, not a new born. She will be fine like I said. I know how to take care of my daughter & you know you miss work. Plus you will be with Shaye all day," I told her 

"I don't care. I see her almost everyday without being at work," she said pouting

"Man stop being difficult & get yo little ass dressed now," I demanded

She unwillingly got up & got dressed with a stank face the whole time she got ready. I just sat there laughing 

"I don't wanna go," she said when it was about time for her to leave out

"Cut it out, now we're gone be right here when you get off. Maybe I'll bring her up there on your lunch break, so you can show her off to all the people at work," I told her

"Ok," she said

"Now give us some sugar," I said pecking her lips, then she went overboard kissing Kennedi like she wasn't leaving for a long time. Kennedi was getting aggravated, I know she was

"Imani, stop you're aggravating her. She gone start crying," I said taking Kennedi from her

"I am not aggravating her cause she loves mommies kisses. Now watch her & make sure she doesn't roll off the bed. She likes her milk room temperature. When you change her diaper warm the wipe up first cause she don't like the coldness on her butt. She likes to watch Doc. McStuffins & she likes to take her naps laying on you," Imani went on & on

"Ok Imani, I got this gosh. Now have a nice day, see you later," I said kissing her forehead

She finally left & it was just me & Kennedi chilling

"Are you hungry mama. You want some, what is this apples & bananas," I said looking at the jar of baby food Imani left on the table for her

"Goo, goo gaga," Kennedi babbled her baby talk to me

"Yea mama, you want some," I said feeding her a little & she made a face

"Is it good. Can daddy taste it," I said licking a little off the spoon & surprisingly it was actually tasty

She was smacking her lips & making a mess all over her face cause she kept putting her hands in her mouth after I gave her a spoonful

"Kenny, you're making a mess mama," I said wiping her mouth off
