14 years later...
Layla POV

Long time no see? My big boy Langston aka Man Man is now 17. He's mama's baby no matter what. After we left Atlanta, we moved to New Orleans, Louisiana. Of course I still kept in touch with Shawn. He still spent time with Langston. I would never keep my son away from his father, even though Langston admitted that he doesn't like his father anymore.  It's sad that Langston remember that night when he beat me. It hurt Shawn's feelings that his son even said that, but he understands the reason why. Shawn has a 14 year old daughter name Mya, that Langston loves to death. I love her too, she's my baby. Shawn was a single parent because her mother died after giving birth to her and I was willing to become a mother figure to her. Shawn lives in New Orleans too, I forgave him from what happened 14 years ago. He explained to me why he acted that way, I was happy he was clean now. Shawn is currently dating someone, her name is Sierra. She's beautiful, Shawn has good taste.

Anyways, as for me? I have my own dance studio. I train teenage girls and boys and we go to different states and have competitions  every two weeks. The girls team is called New Orleans HoneyBees, the boys team is called New Orlean Boyz.

Enough about what happened over the years, back to the story.....

⬇⬇⬇⬇⬇

"Mama" i heard Mya asked she came into the kitchen.

"Hey Baby. How was basketball practice?" I asked while flipped over the fried chicken in the pan

"I didn't make the team" she said sadly

"I'm sorry to hear that baby girl, you can always do another sport" i said

"Mom you know I only love basketball" she said as she grabbed a water bottle

"Try something new like, softball or track" I said

"I haven't thought about track! I might do shot put" she exclaimed

"Go wash up because you stink" i said

She rolled her eyes playfully and ran upstairs.

I heard the front door open and close and multiple footsteps coming towards the kitchen.

"Hey ma" Langston said kissing my cheek

I turned around and his friends was here.

"I texted you that they were coming but you didn't answer" Langston said

I rolled my eyes.

"Hey Mama LayLay" they said calling me the nickname they gave me

"Hey boys" i said

"Mama" Mya said running downstairs

"Hey Mya" Langston said

She ran and jumped on him.

"Man Man I miss you" she said

They haven't seen each other for two weeks since they were busy with school, since today is Friday I asked Shawn can she come over so we can spend time with her.

"I miss you too" he said putting her down

"Mama can we camp out to get them Legend 11s" she asked

I cut the fire off and put the chicken in a pan. I turned around to face them.

"Who paying for them?" I.asked

"Mama" Langston and Mya groaned

"Y'all better ask y'all daddy. Because I don't have no damn money to be wasting on some damn shoes that's gonna get dirty in two weeks." I said
