present day , some weeks later


she sighed in annoyance trying to keep her cool as Heaven continued to throw shit around the house after she repeatedly told her not to. She didn't give a fuck about what her momma was talking about and her patience was starting to run thin. She had to keep her home today because she was sick and she had half a mind to send her ass anyways. she had to get this article done and go on-site to get some b- roll of her subject. She did not have time for the hard-headed behavior, especially when it was unwarranted

"Heaven, if I gotta tell you one more time to stop throwing stuff, you not gonna like me" she spoke in a calm tone making her daughter stop and look at her. She looked like she wanted to test her mother's patience and she was close to doing so.  it was silent before she sat down on the couch with a pout on her face. she was upset because she wanted her mother's attention but she knew better than to try her.

Anastasia sighed before getting up, heading to her daughter, and pulling her close.  Instantly heaven accepted the affection from her and melted in her arms. She knew her mom had to get work done but she didn't care. She wanted to cuddle and watch movies with her mom.

"I know you're not feeling well and I'm sorry about that" she started "But this behavior isn't acceptable baby and you know that" she continued "Momma is almost finished with her article so ill make a deal with you"  heaven stayed quiet so she knew she caught her attention " We'll go take pictures of a couple things and afterwards we'll come back home and i can make you some potato and broccoli soup and we can have our own movie night"

" what about Jacob? wont he be bored without us?"

" I'll call daddy and see if he can come spend the night with him"

" Maybe they can join us at the end of the night instead" She suggested making her momma smile. She loved the relationship she created with the men in her life.

After they made their plans Anastasia kept her word and asked if he could spend the night with her and the kids tonight. She gave him the run down of heaven being sick and he made it easier for her by going to pick Jacob up from school.

She was thankful to have a baby daddy like him honestly. Ever  since he stepped into their lives he had been nothing but helpful with them. Whenever she needed something for the kids he didn't hesitate to drop that card off. Whenever she needed to go out of their normal routine he did his best at meeting her halfway. She never had to ask him to help with the kids homework or make himself known to their teachers.

Not to mention he was always on point on dropping that dick off too

It wasn't a set up that most agreed with but it worked for them and the kids. You could tell he wanted more but he wasn't pressuring her and she wasn't in a rush to get back in a serious relationship so she was cooling

As long as the kids were happy and everybody played their part she was fine

A little while later Anastasia went to take pictures for her article. She managed to give heaven a polaroid camera she had laying around so she could take some pictures herself. She was writing a story about a young man who was shot and killed over the weekend being in the wrong place at the wrong time. He was at a house party and ended up catching six bullets in a drive by shooting. The shooting was gang related and he was mistaken for somebody else in the opposing gang

What made his story so interesting was that he wasn't even a resident of the state let alone been a member of the gang. He was the step brother of the young man they were after and he was out with him and a group of his friends at the time of the shooting. He just so happened to be visiting his brother for the summer and unfortunately never made it home
