"I don't want your nasty food lyres I want mommy to cook" lyric yelled at her brother from on top of the island

"Moms not feeling good so I'm gonna cool for us" Lyres explained to his sister as Harlow's phone rung

"I got it" lyric quickly jumped of the island running to the phone

"Hi daddy" lyric beamed running back to the kitchen with the phone on speaker

"Hey baby girl what you up to" Lazarus asked smiling as lyric tried setting the phone up

"Lyres is trying to cook daddy but I know he can't so I'm waiting for him to mess up so we can get Uber eats" lyric explained in one go

"Tell my man I said Wassup" Lazarus yelled

"Hey dad" Lazarus waved from over by the stove

"How y'all been, I know ya mom keep y'all busy" Lazarus asked fixing breakfast for himself

"Yea she takes us out with her every single day even if it's just to go for a walk" lyric explained

"Where y'all going today" Lazarus asked knowing she'd have something planned for the weekend

" mama said we'd go indoor sky diving" lyric bounced around excited at the thought

"Ooh that's sound like fun" Lazarus said acting just as excited

"We're not going anymore lyric" lyres yelled out to her his head stuck in the refrigerator

"But mommy said so" Lyres placed her hand in her hip daring her brother to argue with her

"No we aren't" he shook his head cracking four eggs in a bowl

"YES WE ARE STOP SAYING THAT" lyric yelled her veins showing in her neck and forehead.

"Hey hey, lyric" Lazarus called our stopping the rising argument

"Put your mom on the phone" he said wondering where she was during all of this

"She sleep" lyric told him

"She's sick dad" Lyres told him

"What happened" Lyres cut the stove off giving them all his attention causing Monica who was in the back to do the same

"Yesterday she was acting weird and she went to bed at 5 and she slept in her shoes" Lyres explained to him

"Alright go take the food off the stove and hand her the phone" Lazarus told him

Doing as he was instructed, he removed the food before turning the stove off and going to hand her the phone.

"Momma" he called stepping into the room

"Mommy" lyric followed close behind climbing in the bed

"Ma" lyres gapped her shoulder

"Mommy it's daddy on the phone" lyric shook her mother too

"Ma" lyres shook her harder worry now filling his voice

"Stay in the phone with my Lyres I'm about to call Marley I'm in my way there" Lazarus stood from the stool knowing something was wrong

"Why won't mommy wake up" lyric asked her brother as she combed her finger through her mother's hair

"Aye lemme hold ya phone" Lazarus reached out for Monica's phone

"Aye Marley this me laz, something wrong with Harlow, the kids tried waking her up and she won't budge just go check it out" Lazarus spit out as soon as she answered
