"Hazelnut!"
"Ma'am?" I looked down at Royalty as I poured spaghetti sauce in the pot of ground beef.
"What happened to your stomach?" She asked, pointing at my baby bump.
"I'm pregnant." She frowned.
"Why?" I laughed.
"Cause daddy and I want a baby."
"But you have me!"
"I know but we want a little baby. Didn't you say you wanted a little sister?"
"Well that was only because you and daddy made me choose between a brother and a sister."
"Well now you have a brother." Chris said as he walked into the kitchen.
"Don't listen to daddy."
"How did you get pregnant?" Chris and I looked at each other, secretly laughing.
"Come here." I picked her up and sat her on my lap as I sat down.
"I have a biscuit, right?" She nodded "And daddy has a sausage, right?" She nodded again.
"Hazel!" Chris interrupted. I frowned.
"What?"
"What you doing?"
"I'm answering her question!" He shook his head and picked Ro up from my lap.
"She too young." I rolled my eyes as he sat her in the living room to watch TV. "What was your fool ass thinking?" He asked as he came back in. I shrugged.
"I just think you should start them off young. My mama taught me what sex was when I was eight."
"Well that's you and your mama. I don't want Ro knowing about that. What were you even about to tell her?"
"I was gonna say your sausage has gravy in it and you release it into my biscuit." He laughed
"You got some loose screws, for real." I shrugged.
"Maybe Nia is the one that's supposed to be teaching her about sex. Never mind then, i'm glad you stopped me. Her lil talking ass ain't finna snitch on me and get Nia popped."
"Why are you so violent?"
"I'm not, very gentle." He pursed his lips.
"Gentle my ass."
"Ro kinda slow ain't it?" He frowned.
"What you mean?"
"Sis been with me all day and just now noticing my stomach." He laughed.
"No my baby ain't slow."
"Well something ain't right with that picture."
"Maybe it's because you changed into a tighter shirt." I shrugged while rubbing my stomach. Four more months, I can do it.
"Remember Joyce and Karen are coming over with the girls in a few." He nodded.
"I'm finna go. I don't wanna be around y'all cackling hens." I gave him the finger.
