"Merry Christmas babymama" I blinked open my eyes to Quincey standing over me.

"Hey Quincey" I said sitting up, cutting on the light and hugging him "What are you doing here?"

"I couldn't miss Christmas with my first borns. Fuck what Simone got to say. I can't mentally be okay with that man" he sat beside me.

"Maybe I should have stayed with Alexis shit maybe I shoulda got with you"

"Ummmm... Quincey you okay?"

"Man I was just on the plane ride going crazy in my mind"

"Okay well don't say stuff bout you getting with me while you sitting in a bed next to me" I said laying my head on his shoulder.

"I'm being honest though. Could you imagine us together?"

"Hell Nah. Stop playing. Lemme look at you" i picked my head up and looked him in his eyes. They were bloodshot red and I knew he was high as a kite.

"Go to sleep Quincey. What time is it?"

"I got here bout 3 a.m. so it must be like 4 a.m. now"

"Wow. I'm up like it's afternoon. Go to sleep" I laid back down putting both of my pillows down the middle of us. I dont need pillows to sleep. I closed my eyes for all of, im guessing, five minutes before I felt his body on mine. I hate when this nigga high. He always wanna be all up on somebody and dont let him have some Henny in his system when he high. Oh my goodness.. This man is like a fuckin bunny rabbit. I'll never forget walking in on him and some girl. I was going to telling him that I was going back to Texas since I had been in Louisiana for a whole week because QJ had a football game and Kae had a ballet recital. He was like balls deep in the broad and all I could do was run out the room and to my Uber. He tried to apologize for a whole month and  I ignored him.

I shook my head at the memory and started playing in his hair. He always lets his hair grow all the way out and then cuts it. He was on his growing stage now.

"Ooooo ma!" Ajarie whisper yelled. I opened my eyes and she was smirking. Quincey had his head on my chest and his arm around my waist "I knew yall was gone get together. I knew it! I knew it!" she said jumping up and down. "Alonzo fine as all get out but then again its Uncle Quincey, but he aint really our uncle. Ma yes!"

"Monae shut the hell up. What you want?"

"Oooooo ma" Alizea said, brushing past Ajarie into the room.

"Yall chill"

"I knew deep down inside yall was gone get together"

"Why are yall doing this? Chill out!"

"Man I thought yall was getting auntie up. What's taking so long?" QJ yelled.

"Shit Quincey wake up" I said trying to shake him before QJ walked in.

"Monae? Zea? What's taking so long?" he said walking in.

"Man. Auntie I aint know my dad was back. I aint know yall was sleeping together either. I knew yall was gone get together but dang"

"Man! Go downstairs. We coming" the kids walked out the room and I sat up.

"Baby where you going" Quincey said without opening his eyes.

"Quincey. Get ya ass up" I said moving his arm and standing up. I had on a christmas pajama set, shorts and a t-shirt. He finally opened his eyes.

"Oh shit. Did we fuck?"

"No, but the kids think we did. So get ya shit together and lets go downstairs." I honestly would not fuck nobody else. I'm hoping me and Alonzo last and we get far soo.. No fucking for me.

"Have you noticed them over there whispering?" Yasmine leaned over and said to me. Armon was sitting in her lap and Armonie was sitting in mine. All of the family was in the living room at the other house waiting on my auntie to wake up. Ajarie went to wake her first and she took too long so Zea went to get them and THEY took to long so QJ went to see what was going on. Ever since they got back, they have been on the other side of the room whispering and it is kinda bothering me. I'm too nosy to not know what they are saying.

When auntie walked in, my dad was behind her. I was happy they--- MY DAD! I stood up and ran over to him and gave him a hug.

"I thought you were going to miss Christmas."

"I just couldn't miss Christmas with my favorite kiddos" he said kissing my forehead. I smiled and went back to my seat and we all started opening presents.

"Mama you did not have to snap like this!" Alizea said jumping up and down with his mac book. Auntie had got us apple watches too.

"Here Kae" daddy said handing me the small box that he gave me before he left. I had truly forgot about it. I opened it and it was an Audi key.

"What is this?"  I said smiling.

"It's the key to your car"

"No way! Foreal!?" I said jumping up from my seat and hugging him. "Thank you so much!" I said tears forming in my eyes. I have had my license for a whole year and I just ride with QJ or Zea. I have never had my own car.

"Dont cry Kae" he said hugging me back. I wiped my tears and went to sit back down. I had opened all my gifts, so we were waiting to give Auntie hers. I got her a gift certificate for a pedicure every two weeks for two months at this place in Texas. Zea got her a Pandora bracelet. QJ got her Ugg slippers and a pair of Birkenstocks. Ajarie and Yasmine got her a collage picture frame with pictures of her kids, nieces, and nephews. We bought some clothes to say they were from the twins and babies.

"What's all this guys?" she said when we handed her the wrapped gifts.

"Well mama you are the best mother in the world and you do so much to make sure we are happy and we wanted to give you something to show you our appreciation." Ajarie said hugging her. Her crybaby self was just sitting there with tears rolling down her cheeks.

After she opened her gifts my dad stood up with an envelope.

Amaya

"Well, I guess i'll be the last one." Quincey said walking over to me. "I got a lil speech.." he cleared his throat while everyone laughed. "Amaya. You my bestfriend. My babymama. My go to person when I need anything. You have been there for me and my kids through everything. You do some things for me that no one has ever thought to do for me. You make sure I am working to the best of my ability everyday. You make sure Kae and QJ got their head on straight. Well, you just love me, but I mean who wouldnt"

"Shut up man" I said shaking my head.

"Alright alright. Lemme get to the point"

"Right come on!" my mom said loud laughing.

"Okay Ma T. The point is. I honestly don't know how I can repay you for all you have done for all these years. You got a real nigga a Rolex, so i decided to get a real woman this" he handed me the envelope. I opened it and it was a reciept for two plane tickets. "We going to Bora Bora in Janurary."
