Soooo...this is my first post from my phone.! I think I will rock with it for now cause my laptop is still getting worked on. Might just get another one. 😑 But oh well. This is a quick little filler until the next update. Leave me some comments and tell me what ya think. 😁😁

Cree Daniels

After all the nonsense, and a quickie in one of my mom's guest rooms, me and Chris finally made our way downstairs to face everybody once again. I pulled my hair up into a ponytail, looking at a smiling Yoni once I hit the bottom of the stairs.

"Mhm," She said, putting her nose back into her phone. "Ya nasties."

"Girl, gone." I said, walking by and lightly hitting her shoulder. She laughed, looking up at Chris.

"Mommy told you not to hurt her. Sound like you put it doooown."

She did a little dance, making Chris shake his head as I just laughed. She a damn mess.

Chris came up behind me as I stopped in the kitchen to talk to my mom, kissing my cheek. She was cleaning up when she turned our way, only to stop and smile at us.

"Baby, I'mma step outside for a second. Gotta call Anthony and was gone.." He made a smoking notion, looking towards my mom. "If that's okay with you, ma.?"

"Go ahead." She said, waving him off. "No judgement around here, baby."

He smiled, pecking my lips before walking out.

I sat down in one of the stools sitting at the counter, taking a deep breath as I watched my mom finish putting dishes away.

"You need some help.?"

"No, baby. I got it. Nothing I'm already used to. Your sister not even gone attempt to help."

"Lies.!" Yoni yelled from the family room. We both laughed as she finished up and came to sit next to me.

I was fiddling my fingers, swiveling the stool from left to right while she just stared at me.

"Well...dinner was...interesting. To say the least."

I chuckled. "Tell me about it. Filled with surprises...and secrets being spilled."

"Mhm. Had me wondering why you wouldn't talk to me or your sister. You got some heavy shit to deal with, baby."

She started to rub my back, making me look at her.

"If you didn't know by now, you can talk to me about anything, Cree. I don't know where our miscommunication started at but I've always been here to listen. You should know that. Its been way too long."

"I know, ma. I know."

"Well you not acting like it. You been avoiding us for too long. Why.?"

I took another deep breath before I spoke. I never told my mom why I had been keeping away or how I felt once she left. Now was a good time.

"Mommy...I've...just been feeling a way. Since you left to be with Jo."

She frowned a little, adjusting in her seat as she prepared to hear what I had to say.

"Explain...I thought you liked Jo."

"No, I love Jo. He's more of a father than papi is. Its nothing about him. Its just when you left to xome back here and be with him...I felt left out. Like you didn't even consider bringing me with you. Your first born. Felt like you didn't want me anymore."
