For Better For Worst

8 Years Ago.....

Song Play- Love and Happiness by Al Green; kids running around by the playground; Tamkea shown yelling her daughter name; song fades

Tameka:(open front door) Niyah!? Niyah!? (yells)

Little Niyah running to her house to Tameka; go inside

Tameka: come (let little Niyah in) on baby (closing door behind little Niyah)

Tameka in kitchen cooking chicken with rice; Little Niyah come in the kitchen and sit at the kitchen table; Tameka stirring up the chicken with rice

Tameka: had fun outside baby? hm? (come sit at the kitchen table)

Little Niyah: yes ma'am, where's daddy? 

Tameka: he'll be home soon (get up and go to stove by food)

Quinton come in house; Little Niyah hears him and run to Quinton; Quinton opens his arms to Little Niyah for a big hug

Little Niyah: Daddy?! (run to Quinton in his arms)

Quinton:hey baby!!! (pick up Little Niyah) what you been up to? (kiss her cheek)

Little Niyah: nothing (wrap arm around Quinton neck)

Quinton and Tameka go in their room; Little Niyah still at the table eating

Night

Little Niyah: yes sir (take money) 

Quinton: give me some love and get up

Little Niyah: (hug Quinton) okay...

Quinton kiss Little Niyah cheek; walk out her room; leave to go to work; Little Niyah get out of bed; go in the bathroom; Little Niyah grab her toothbrush; turn on water; grab toothpaste; put toothpaste on toothbrush;  she brush her teeth; put toothbrush back; grab her washcloth; wet washcloth; wash her face; Tameka come in her room
