Africa POV

He still isnt home. I know he is going through it right now but we are too. Jamal's grandmother is in the hospital again. She was out and living with us, for 2 weeks then she was back in then out for a couple days, now she is right back in there. I dont know whats going on because Jamal wont let me go to the hospital. I wanna know too. I called him and it rang four times.

"Wassup"

"Jamal, where you at?"

"Out" Was all he said.

"Out where?"

"Out"

"You do have a family you know that right"

"Yea imma see" He hung up. I heard small feet behind me. 

"Hey momma"

"Hi Maddy"

"That was daddy?"

"Uhh..yeah"

"He tucking me in tonight?"

"Umm..idk Madison. I can do it though"

"Nah, its okay" She went to the living room and finished putting a puzzle together. I dont like her down stairs alone. 

"Madison come upstairs me and your sister need a bath." She got up and followed me. 

"You can watch tv in here until I get out." 

"Alright" I grabbed my stuff and ran my water. I shot Jamal a text telling him Madison is expecting him, He didnt respond so I got into the tub. It felt so good. I just laid there. I closed my eyes and placed my hands on my 4 month stomach. 

I must have fell asleep because Madison was screaming my name.

"MOMMY!! Mommaaaa" I sat up and covered myself.

"Huh?" 

"Its time to get out, you sleepy?

"Okay" She handed me the towel and I grabbed it getting myself out all of 15 minutes. The tub is deep and high, so I struggl getting out, ususally Jamal helps me, but the dumb nigga aint been home. I stepped out and dried off. I oiled my skin and put on some shorts and a tank top without any undergarments. I slid into my slippers. 

"Madison Im gonna make a little dinner then you can get in the tub okay?"

"Alright"

"Okay" She went to her room. I went downstairs to make a little something. I wasnt hungry, but I knew I had too. I went into the fridge and found some chicken breast and broccoli. I took out the George Foreman and grilled some chicken and steamed sme broccoli. I made a little pot of curry rice. 

"Madison,I'm done" I set the table for us, and sat her food down. She came down the stairs and sat down. 

"Thank you Jesus for the food. Amen." She looked up. "Momma you not gone eat?"

"Uhh.. I am" I cut a half of chciken breast, some broccoli, and 3 spoons of curry  rice. I began to eat. 

"Daddy coming?" 

"Idk Madison" She had her head down and finished eating. This si ridiculous. She knows something is wrong. She know that Jamal is supposed to be here. She has been questioning if he was coming back since yesterday. I called Jamal while she was in the tub. He didnt answer, so I left a message.

"Jamal, pick up the phone please. Madison is asking for you. " I hung up and went up stairs. Of course she takes a bath in our room. She like playing with the jets. I went in the bathroom.

"YOu have 10 more minutes" I went in my room and turned on the tv. Love and Hip Hop was on. I laid back and my lower abck was hurting. I sat up a little and it eased the pain. My ankles are swollen and so are my feet. Jamal should be here. I cant do this by myself. Madison came out the bathroom with her curls everywhere.

"You got your hair wet?"

"I didnt mean to"

"Its alright, I'll put it in a braid until you get it braided tomorrow" She fgot dressed and went to my bathroom and got my comb and brush. I braided in into one big braid. She went to get into her bed. I decided to call Jamal again. Still no answer. 

"Jamal. Call me back, It;s getting late and we here by ourselves." I hung up. I'm so annoyed right now. I hate sleeping in this bed by myself. I guess I was thinking outloud.

"Momma I'll sleep with you. You want me too?"

"Uh. Yea you can sleep with me. I pulled the covers back on Jamal's side. She climbed in and laid close to my face. 

"Daddy's not coming huh?"

"I dont think so Maddy. I'm sorry"

"Its okay, I can sleep with you until he comes back" I smiled and kissed her forehead. 

"Night babygirl"

"Night momma" SHe grabbed my face and kissed my cheek. We fell right asleep.

Jamal POV

I came inside, the lights were off. It was pitch black in here. I tunre don the lights. The kitchen was clean, but it smelled like curry rice. I went to the fridge.

"Your dinner is in the microwave" The note Africa clearly wrote said. I went to the microwave and warmed it up. While it was warming up I went to the living room. A couple toys. A giant ass puzzle that aint done. That aint nothing but Madison. I got my food and ate it quick so I could find the girls. I checked my phone it was 2 in the morning. Shit. I turned off the lights and went upstairs. I look in Madison room and she aint in there. I got to my room and see Madison sprawled out in the bed. I look to my right and its empty. I checked the bathroom and Africa aint in there. Hmm? I went out my room and checked the hall bathroom. Nope. I turned around because I heard sniffling. I went into the baby's room and there she was on the floor. She was sitting against the wall holding a dinosaur. She heard me come in and looked up at me. She immediately tried to get up. Fail. She got on her knees and then got up. She wobbled out the room and to our room closing the door behind her. THats my que. I went downstairs, grabbed some blankets and a pillow out the closet and went to the couch. I den fucked up. 

This was just a little something. Tell me what you guys think. I know I lost some of ya'll because I waited so long to update, but for those that are still here lol Sorry I will update more often.
