Chapter 52- Just In Time🥳🥳🥳

Ayona

Porsha had a cute simple red dress waiting on the bed for her that had TWO printed in gold on it. Once she was dressed, I went and changed into a crème colored sundress. We both had on appropriate colored Converse on to match our dresses.

Since we were waiting for Porsha to come upstairs, I decided I could teach her how to tie her own shoes. Tamika naturally liked doing whatever she could for herself and she never asked for my help unless she absolutely needed it—which was most of the time—but still, she tried and I loved that about her.

I was tying one shoe while she had the other shoe to practice on, "...Ok, make your two bunny ears," I encouraged after I did mine a couple times for her to see, "good, now cross them like this," I paused so she could follow the step, "and then take this one.., aand into the hoop then you pull," I had to do the last step almost four times before she did it successfully and when she managed, I clapped for her, "Good job."

She giggled at her achievement.

I heard the door open, "Yall ready?... Look at my pretty niece!" Immediately Mika hopped off the bed so she could show her dress off, "Isn't pretty auntie?" Tamika asked enthusiastically.

"Work it niecey," Porsha exclaimed hyping her up and I shook my head at the two as they did a model walk towards the far side of the bedroom and back to me before Porsha finally popped her hip out in a final pose with Tamika copying her.

I giggled, "Porsha, you gone ruin my baby girl," Porsha rolled her eyes, "Girl, bye. Come on niecey, let's go say hi, to your guests," and that reminded me to text Sherese and let her know they could head over.

When a Surprise, happy birthday Tamika! boomed from downstairs, I quickly ran downstairs, phone recording so I could catch her surprised face.

I caught it in time, thank goodness, I smiled so wide my face hurt. Tamika looked beautiful, happy, and healthy; I was so grateful. It wasn't after everyone started going up to her to give her hugs and kisses that I realized there was quite a bit of people.

First off my mother was here and so were a few other family members I hadn't seen in a long time along with Tiny and Tyona, then saw Keem walk towards the basement and a few other guys follow suit. There were two I recognized from when I'd first started going out with Daystar.

The living room was decorated in red and gold, Tamika's favorite color—red. The banner that was hanging from the ceiling was in a bright red while there were gold balloons scattered on the living room floor that led to the stairs that lead into the basement.

After everyone went around greeting each other, Porsha announced for all of us to head to the basement where all the fun would begin.

Tamika glowed with happiness, family surrounded her. She squealed, "Mommyyy!" Hakeem had playfully tossed her in the air, catching her mid-air before repeating the action a few more times.

I grinned in their direction, "Yes, Mika?" A few giggles burst from her. Keem set her down, letting her run off with the other kids. Everything was going great, one of my uncle's I remembered from DC, was in charge of grilling and from what I remembered his food wasn't bad at all. The kids were playing in the yard enjoying the good weather, while the grown-ups ate and talked.

"Hi daddy!" Tamika squealed excitedly, hugging his legs to her. We'd just started getting ready to cut the cake, the lights had been dimmed and everything. In return, he looked down at her and lifted her up kissing her cheek, "Heyy princess, I'm sorry I came so late..," the whole scene took me by surprise, it felt like my heart leaped into my throat.
