~Breezy P.O.V.~

~A Few Days Later~

Leah's funeral happened and then DeShawn had to fly back to Chico so he could pack his shit and move back here. Rio was now in my care till he got back since Lolo got sick, so they asked me to watch him.

"So... You like waffles?" I asked Rio as we sat facing each other on the living room floor. We were playing with building blocks and then he said he was hungry.

"Mhm." He smiled at me. I nodded my head, standing up and walking over to the kitchen. M.C was passed out asleep under the tree in the backyard.

It's only been about twelve hours since Rio's been here and let me just say... It's really weird having a child in my house. Joel comes over but he doesn't stay with me like how Rio will be. He's really chill so far and likes to watch cartoons in my bed with me, so we've bonded over cartoons.

"Strawberry or maple?" I asked holding up the bottles of syrup while the waffles were in the microwave. He liked his in the microwave because that made 'em fluffier.

"That one." He said pointing to the red bottle. I nodded again and grabbed the waffles once the microwave beeped and began cutting them up in small pieces. Drenching the waffles in syrup, I carried it to the living room and set it down in front of him.

"Don't make a mess, I got white carpets." I laughed joining him on the ground. "You know you're real cute right?" He said stuffing a piece in his mouth. His cheeks were so full, it reminded me of a chipmunk, that's fuckin' cute.

"Morning Chris." Oooooh I heard that sweet voice! "Where are you?"

"Downstairs bathroom, hold up." I was drying off Rio since he got crazy with the syrup. None got on the carpet but he got a lot in his hair. "Rio, you're a handful when you eat. I'ma teach you how to eat properly." I wrapped the towel around him and picked him up.

"Awe who's that?" Yvonne asked, keeping her eyes locked on Rio.

"DeShawn's younger half brother. I'm watching him till the end of the week." He was reaching for the blocks and wiggling around.

"Down." He whined. I set him down and his naked self went right to playing with the blocks.

"That's sweet of you. How are you?" She was still in her pajamas and she looked good in plaid pants, work it girl.

"I actually feel pretty damn good. Still emotionally damaged but I'm gettin' by. What brought you over here?"

"I just wanted to make sure you were okay. I worry about you with all that's gone down."

"Thanks but you 'ont needa worry about me." I said rubbing the back of my neck. "What 'chu doin' today anyways?"

"I'm not sure. Ivette said she wanted me to help her move her things to Elia's but she hasn't called me or anything." She said with a quick shrug of her shoulders.

"Chill with Rio and I till Ivette calls. I actually needa get him dressed, his bare ass doesn't need to be all over my carpet." I bent down and scooped him up. "I'll be back down unless you wanna head upstairs." I said as I jogged up my stairs.

I honestly feel like an actual father right now. This was what it would have been like huh? Talk about a weird feeling but I kinda like it in a way.

"You should go blonde with me." I said as we laid in my bed. Rio was in his room with M.C.

"Well, you should dye it for me." She said tauntingly.
