Whatever You Need

LOGAN

I'm in my friend's Jordan boutique she has here in Baltimore. I moved back to Baltimore too and started working in the boutique. I had to come back to my hometown though I was super homesick. I had to get away from Philly because it's nothing for me there. At all.

"Logan what time you have to pick Milan up from daycare?" Jordan asks putting a shirt on a hanger. "Soon. In about thirty minutes." I reply. Gathering my things, it's almost time for me to clock out.

"Oh okay. Well I'll close and see you Monday." She says. "Okay Jor. I'll text you." I say grabbing my bag and walking out of the store being slapped in my face by a bunch of heat. I can't wait to get home and up under my air. I might take Milan to see my mom for a little while though.

I just got inside of my car and I immediately turn the air on and speed off to Milan's daycare. Bash had texted me earlier telling me that he wanted to see her. I'm so proud of myself because the only time we communicate is when it has to do with Milan, I know I said it so many times before but I've literally washed my hands with him.

I want nothing to do with Basheer at all. I never thought that loving him would hurt me the way it did. I learned from the pain though and it turned out amazing. I pull in front of the daycare and park and hurry and run inside. "Hey mom. Milan is ready too, I just put her sandals on." The owner Ms.Asia says.

She walks from the back holding a smiling clapping Milan. Whenever I'm having a bad day Milan makes me super happy all over again. I'm in love with my baby, she's the best thing that ever happened to me I swear.

"Hi baby!" I smile at her and reach for her. I grab her and give her a bunch of kisses. "Say bye bye." I say. She waves to all of the employees and they say their good byes and everything. I sign her out and then go to get inside of the car.

We just got home and when I pulled up in front of my door Basheer was sitting on my step waiting for us so that he could see Milan. Milan and Basheer is downstairs while I'm in bed watching Belly. I always let him have his time with her alone. I honestly don't even wanna be in his presence but I wouldn't dare keep his daughter from him.

That's just cruel. "Logan! Where you keep her cereal and shit at? She hungry." He yells from the bottom of the steps.

"In the cabinet!" I yell back. His ass knows exactly where it is. "I can't find it!" He yells again. I sigh and get up rolling my eyes. I walk downstairs with shorts on and a bra.

"I don't know why you got a attitude all because I couldn't find the cereal?" He says.

"No all because you don't look for shit." I say opening the cabinet and hand it to him. Milan starts clapping her hands while Bash bounces her up and down on the counter. "You got so big mama." He mumbles kissing her cheek.

"Daddy missed you." He says as she lays her head on his chest and he rubs her back. This man is really a good father, could never ever take that from him. "You wanna have a party for her first birthday?" He asks.

"Yeah. Of course." I say. "What theme?"

"I don't know yet."

"It's almost here so start thinking quick." He says. I nod my head in agreement.

BASHEER
1 Year Later..

It's been a year and so much shit happened. Everything happened so fast too. Milan's birthday was great though. As expected. I got Tanani to come back to Philly she moved back into her old house. Nani and Isaac got back together. Diamond had the baby too and he's Legend's twin. His name is Legacy.

My kids are everything to me on god. I don't deal with my kids' mother's though. Honestly. I got a girlfriend named Paige, that I went to high school with. Paige ain't pregnant either I'm taking it slow with Paige but if it happens then it just happens.

I literally don't deal with them unless it involves my kids. No hard feelings but shit just don't be there no more. I'm glad to say it that I'm finally being faithful and I'm loving it too. I ain't gotta sneak or worry about lying or none of that shit.

"Baby I'm gonna go to the store. I'm going to my aunt's birthday dinner tonight and I wanna get a new outfit." Paige says coming into our room with panties and a bra on. I moved into a new house in Philly too.

"You want me to go with you?" I ask watching her bend over and throw some shoes into the closet.

"No. If you don't want to you don't have too." She mumbles still bending that fat ass over. "Come here." I say patting my lap.

She walks towards me pouting looking like she's about to cry and sits on my lap facing me. "What's wrong?" I ask sucking on her neck. "I really don't wanna spend money on a new outfit when I already have a bunch of clothes but I can't find anything to wear."

"Put on a dress or something babe." I say rubbing her ass. I really love this big head ass girl. "How about I just stay home? And you hold me and fuck me all night long." She mumbles.

"It's whatever you want. You know that." I say kissing her lips.

TANANI

"Lyric you can go back to sleep if you want." I say. It's no school for her today and I thought that it was. I literally drove her all the way there and then back. "Alright mom." She says after taking her uniform off and putting it back into the drawer and getting in bed. Legend is with my mom and today I was just gonna relax.

Isaac and I are going out to eat later on. I can't even believe that he proposed. I can't turn my back on him again. Not this time. I refuse too. All that childish keep on running back to my baby daddy is dead. I promise I wouldn't ever consider dealing with Basheer again. I'm just glad that we have a good relationship on the strength of our kids.

It's gets no better than that. It's all about the kids. It's their world, we just living in it.
