11:30 a.m
I pulled up to the rental house which Maylee's parents, grandma, kids, and brother were staying while we all got everything situated. I wanted to make sure this process for Maylee was as stress free as possible, which is why I was here right now. She didn't take the news about Zara and Zaire too good, so I wanted to make sure I did everything in my power to make her feel comfortable.
We decided to set the meeting for 12:30 so everybody could get the rest they needed since it was going to be a long day. I wanted to separate who she was meeting and when since I didn't want her to feel overwhelmed with everybody in her face.
I swiftly walked to the cozy two story home front door before knocking on the door. I stood to the side tapping my foot. I wasn't gonna lie and say that I wasn't stressed. Maylee's stress was my stress and I wanted to take most of it off.
The sound of the door being unlocked took me out of my daze. The door slowly opened revealing Ms. Dawn with a bright smile which seemed to ease my stress a little bit.
"Good morning JuJu! Come in." She opened the door widely allowing me to step into the house.
"Good morning Ms. Dawn. How are you feeling this morning?" I smiled smelling the scent of breakfast fill my nose.
"Chile I'm nervous ass hell. Shit got me shaking like a stripper in church." I looked at her shock while shaking my head. I guess her boldness was something we all had to get used to.
"I actually came to talk to y'all before the meeting in an hour. Is the family up?"
"Yeah they up. All they fat asses are in the kitchen eating like they never ate a day in their lives. Would you care for some breakfast?" She offered as we walked to the kitchen together.
"No ma'am I just ate." She smelled at me before walking into the kitchen revealing everybody talking and laughing together.
"Good morning JuJu!" Delilah noticed me first while standing to her feet.
"Good morning y'all." I hugged Delilah back before sitting down at the table with them.
"What brings you to the crazy house JuJu." Julian asked while stuffing his face with the cheese grits.
"I actually came to talk to y'all about the meeting today." A look of panic instantly displayed across Delilah's face.
"Wait she doesn't wanna meet us. What happened? Did we do something wrong?" I shook my head at all of her questions.
"No y'all didn't do anything wrong. She stills want to meet y'all but I was thinking we split y'all up so she's not so overwhelmed. I seen how she took the kids news yesterday and I think this is the best strategy."
"What's the order Ju?" Ms. Dawn asked while taking a sip of her coffee,
"The Kids, then Wynter and Delilah, then Julian, and finally Ms.Dawn." Everybody nodded while mentally taking a note of when they were meeting her.
"Well I'll go talk to the kids and explain everything to them. But, I think it's best for them to know that she's their mother instead of taking them by surprise. It'll be a change for everybody but we're gonna make it work." Delilah stood to her feet before walking to the room where the twins were playing toys at.
"Wynter can you stop all that damn shaking. Got me feeling nervous. Big headed ass bitch." Ms. Dawn complained while standing to her feet.
"Don't come for me. You need to be coming for the thing that's pushing your edges back." He stood to his feet following.
