"YOUR eyes are so red." Juicy said as I sat on the couch.
"Are they?" I asked smiling at her. "You cute."
"Thank you." she laughed sitting next to me. "I think I'm getting sick."
"What kinda sick?" I eyed her feeling my high go away.
"Not pregnant sick boy, like a cold sick. My nose is stuffy and my throat is sore, it came from Kari laying up under me while he was sick."
"Oh, cause I was finna say..." I trailed off putting my hand on my chest.
"I've been feeling like something bad is gonna happen," she said laying her head on my chest. "I don't know how to explain it but I don't know it's like I've been so down and stressed and just worried but I don't know why."
"For how long?" I asked. "That's weird because I have been too, ever since you lost the baby."
"I don't know babe, I'm scared. I don't want anything to happen to anyone I love." she said making me look down at her. "Especially you."
"My mama came to me in a dream the other night." I told her.
"Really? What'd she say?"
"We talked about you and she said she liked you and thank you for stepping up for the twins and she told me to stay in good terms with you because the twins will need you more really soon. She told me she loved me and that she was proud of me." I said, my high really going away. "She told me to be careful and to make good decisions and she told me to count my blessings."
"Are you okay?" Juicy asked me. "Like there's nothing you need to tell me, right?"
"Nah, I'm good." I said honestly. "Anything you need to tell me?"
"No, well actually, yes." she said.
"What is it?"
"I talked to my dad like while ago and he asked me about the baby." she said.
"He about three months late.." I said.
"I told him that and I cut him off, I blocked his number and I've decided that I'm done trying with him and I'm done making the adult decisions in our relationship." I nodded.
"I'm happy for you, sometimes something's aren't worth the stress mamas." I said to her. "I appreciate you, you know that?"
"Mhm, I know."
"I do, for real. I appreciate you being there for me and the twins because you don't have to. You cook for us, make sure the twins straight, you do shit that you don't have to and I appreciate that. The twins need that structure in their lives." I told her.
"I do it because I want to, I love the twins like they're my own. You know that." she said.
"Promise me something." I said.
