Kierra
We leave for Antigua in a few days and I'm really excited I haven't been to Antigua so it'll be my first time going. Mama Sheila came and got the kids early so we won't have to drop them off the day we leave.

"Baybeh I have a surprise for you."

I sat my laptop down and looked at Aug as he walked in the living room he stepped aside showing my mama.

"Hey mama."

"Hey babygirl," I stood up and gave her a hug.

"How are you mama?"

"I'm good how are you?"

"Good as well."

"That's good."

"Yeah it is."

My mama stepped to the side showing my grandma.

"Hello Kierra

"Hello Kierra."

"Grandma."

"How are you?"

"Good."

"Mhmm."

"How are you grandma?"

"Lovely."

"Can you two squash this beef between y'all," my mama said.

"I don't have any beef that's all her mama that's your mama."

"Excuse me?"

"Since I got pregnant with Khari you started treating me differently than the rest of my cousins."

"You had a child out of wedlock."

"So what does that mean my parents wasn't married when they had me they waited until I was one to get married none of my other cousins are married but they have kids you treat them better than you treat me."

"Oh please Kierra get over yourself."

"Get over myself really? You never met Khari and he's 6 grandpa loves Khari and Khari gets upset when he can't stay the night with y'all because of you I don't know what your deal is with me or my child but honestly I don't give two fucks about you anymore I've tried for 6 years to get you to like and love me again but you don't want that connection with me so at this point fuck you."

"K baybeh I know you're mad but watch your mouth that's still your grandma."

"Aug is right K."

"I don't care who she is to me you have to give respect in order to receive respect she probably didn't like my choices but instead of treating me like the black sheep and talking down on me every chance she gets she could've said K baby I'm a little disappointed that you didn't wait to get married to have kids but that's not my concern my concern is you and my great grand baby and I'll be here every step of the way but no I don't get that. Breah is 17 and she's about to welcome in her little girl soon and grandma is so excited for her but when it was me I was frowned upon and I didn't understand why but now I don't care."
