Maralei's 2 and it amazes me how smart she is. She already said 'mama' and Pac's been ready for her to say 'dada'. I'm working on this new TLC album, my solo album, and I'm also planning Ly's birthday party with Pac.

I picked Maralei up off the grass and I walked in the house to a shirtless Pac cooking lunch for us. "What's all this??" I laughed. "Well I haven't been here in a minute, and I can't cook for my wife?" he laughed. "I ain't have no problem with it baby! It's just surprising.." I smiled and put Ly in her play pen.

Pac's cleaned up his act every since he got shot. He immediately came home and he hasn't been in any trouble with me or in his career. I think him getting shot that one last time made him realize life is too short to keep acting like a fool. I ain't mad at him for it. I'm glad he uses his voice for positivity, I don't want him being a target.

"OK, TLC needs to be in the studio cause we're working on our album. So, I need you to watch Maralei for the meantime." I nodded. "Mama!!" I went over to Ly. "Hey baby, mama will be back ok? She's goin with titi Roz and titi Boz." She started bouncing up and down then waved. "Bye, bye!!" I laughed and waved back. "I'll be back, luvs." I went out and got in my car then drove all the way to the studio.

As soon as I got there Ro and Ti were shooting me these dirty looks. "What I do?" I chuckled and shrugged. "So Dallas isn't finna be on the album now huh?"

FLASHBACK

"Do you think TLC's producer, Dallas Austin will be on the new project?" The interviewer asked. Kim and Missy both looked at Lisa. "Well...Dallas tried to charge us a lotta money for a few songs so as I look at it...mmmm Dallas won't be on the project." Lisa said fixing her hat in awkwardness. "Hey, she had to tell it like it was." Kim said as Missy laughed.

END OF FLASHBACK
ANONYMOUS

"Lisa, why would u go off like that as if you KNEW Dallas wasn't gon' be on the album?" Ro asked, crossing her arms. "Well, I mean, all press is good press!! I was just tryna hype us, that's all.." Ti and Ro looked at each other and shook their heads. "Whatever, the songs we working on this time is 'I'm Good At Being Bad', 'If They Knew' and 'Automatic'. You gon' be here for this one or you gon' disappear like you always do?" Tionne asked. Lisa smacked her lips, "Man, I'mma be here! Stop breathin' down my back about this!" She rolled her eyes and put her headphones on.

They finished IGABB and ITK but Lisa had to bounce for 'Automatic'. "Where you goin'?" Ro asked. "I have to go to the studio to work on my stuff, y'all KNOW this." She groaned and grabbed her bags. Tionne was pissed, this is the 3rd time Lisa did this. "Whatever man, we gon' use Vic-E. This album GON' get done."
