"don't play with me" flow told arie shaking her head in a no manner to let her know that she was serious. "i hear that come out of your mouth again i am slapping you" flow promised arie waving a finger at her

standing there arie stared at flow saying nothing because she knew she was wrong and it wasn't the first time that flow told her about saying the word fuck ass

"damn flow" cameron spoke coming into arie's room and seeing her holding arie by both her hands. turning around upon hearing her father's voice arie begun to make up her face as if she was going to cry.

"daddy" she called out to cameron her lips trembling.

"if one tear hits the floor i am going to give you something to cry for" flow told her dead serious "hmmm" flow hummed when arie open her mouth beginning to cry. "that is it corner time" flow told her pulling arie towards her time out area in her room despite the fact that arie was trying to pull away from her.

"flow, that is a lil harsh" cameron told her as flow pulled him out of the room. "could you not tell her to not do it again or something ?" he questioned her as they walked into their bedroom.

"no cameron i can't. i can't be all nice and super sweet to her like you are because she doesn't respond to that."

"yes she does. if you sit her down and talk to her nicely and explain to her why what she did is wrong she won't do it again"

"in front of you" flow told him

"no. period" cameron spoke in defense to flow's statement.

"cameron that child has you fooled okay" flow told him knowing arie did for a fact. "she plays nice in front of you, but behind your back it is a different story. like honestly babe you need to start getting serious with her ass. she is at the point where we have to reel her in let her know what time it is because i am not liking what i am seeing. she acts like a little diva and it isn't cute cameron. and if we allow her to continue the way she is she is going to become a brat and before you know you can't even talk to her"

"that is not going to happen flow. she is going to grow out of this stage. "

"not if you keep babying her cam' " flow pointed out

"flow i baby her because she is a baby"

"cam' she isn't a baby anymore. she is turning three in a couple of months . she carries full on conversations with people and know when she is in the wrong and damn near potty trained she is not a baby" flow told him

"yes flow she is . she is my baby girl" cameron told her his voice going soft at the realization that arie was really growing up and moving pass the stage where he had to do every little thing for her

cooing upon hearing that flow could not help but feel warm inside, but quickly snapped out of the feeling as the conversation they had were serious.

"any other time that would be so cute" she told him "but it is time to become firm cam'. she is always going to be your little baby girl no matter how old she gets, but wrong is wrong." flow told him "a part of loving her is disciplining her. letting her know when she has passed her place and even though it may break your heart to do it, it has got to be done. sometimes tough love is the best kind of love you can give"

"i know but flow i just can't. like i am not good at playing the bad guy with her. that is your role i am the good cop your the bad cop"

throwing cameron a glare at him saying that flow placed her hands on her side.

"what ?" he questioned innocently "it is the truth. i am the fun parent your the disciplinary"

"well i don't mind being a disciplinary cause' somebody got to keep her in check. but seriously cameron you and i need to form a united front when it comes to disciplining arie. because i can't say no and you be like okay - well we just won't tell mommy about it."

"when have i ever done that ?" cameron asked

"uhh lets see just yesterday you gave her a brownie after she had like two already and candy hence the reason why she didn't touch her dinner. then there is the fact that you continue to buy her toys when you guys go out and stuff them in your "domain" acting like i wouldn't find them when i am the one who cleans it" flow told him

"flow it was like one doll" cameron told her trying to defend his actions "and it was a ken doll. what is barbie without ken ?" he asked flow

"no cameron it was not just a doll it was a doll. a play house. then there is damn tickle me elmo that you stuffed in her closet that goes off at damn two in the morning. and i am sure there is like a bunch of stuff i can't remember right now that was on the receipt which you keep in your damn pants. like if your going to do things like that be smart enough to destroy the evidence" flow told him

"will do next time"

throwing him a side eye at him saying that a mellowed expression donned flow's face.

"i will pretend you were trying to joke with that" flow told him "anyways. back to the subject at hand we are going to create a united front. from now now on we both have to be on the same page with arie in terms of discipline. now her three minutes have been up i am going to call her in here and you and her are going to have a talk." flow told him "you are going to tell her it was wrong what she did. and explain to her that the next time she does it you will be punishing her" flow told him

"flow" cameron whined

"a united front cameron" flow told him going towards the door and calling arie.

watching arie as she came into their bedroom flow nodded her head to cameron as arie went over to him.

sitting her down on the chase like he normally did when he and arie where having a little talk cameron pulled the chair he was sitting on in front of her as flow stood beside him.

"pooty" he called her affectionately "it breaks my heart do t-"

"no you can't tell her it breaks your heart" flow told him.

"but it does." cameron told flow "now if i am going to discipline her i have to feel comfortable in how i am doing it" he told flow.

"okay" flow raised her hand up

"like i was saying pooty before your mom interrupt me it breaks my heart to do this ,but you can't go around saying fuck ass to people. the word is a bad bad bad word" cameron stressed "it is not nice." he shook his head "so please don't say it again." cameron told her

"is that it ?" flow asked him

"what else am i suppose to say ?" he questioned flow

"that there will be repercussions if she continues to say it."

frowning at that cameron sighed "i can't say that flow" cameron told her

"why not ?" flow asked

"because i won't do it. i won't hit her"camern told flow

"you don't have to but you just got to let her know there are consequences" flow coached

"pooty if you continue to say the word daddy will not be too happy" cameron told arie .

"ca-"

"flow it is the best i can do right now" he told flow .

"we're going to talk about this more later" flow told him realizing going back and forth with cameron in front of arie was not the way to go.

"yeah" cameron told her "anyways, pooty come give daddy a hug" cameron told her stretching his arms out to her. jumping off the chase upon hearing that arie flung herself into her dad arms climbing up on him laughing. hugging her tightly cameron begun to kiss her all over her cheek.

standing there flow could not even be mad especially when cameron grabbed her into a hug with them.

"tell mommy you love her" cameron told arie

"love you" arie told flow smiling

feeling warm inside flow forgot all about being rough on arie. hugging arie when she called for a group hug flow giggled when cameron pulled her onto his lap

"i love yaull" cameron told them kissing them both on their cheeks.

beginning to tickle arie with cameron flow could not help but feel good all over as she realized that cameron was the best father that he could be for arie
