"Daddy! 'mon" Hendrix grabbed my hand and pulled me to the table where my momma was sitting
"You better sitcho ass down and eat that food" I told him as I sat beside him at the table and he picked up a piece of bacon off of his plate eating it
"Y'all be feeding my baby like he a grown man" my momma said to me while she watched Hendrix
"Cause that nigga is a grown man, look at him"
She looked over at Hendrix and laughed at him while he rubbed his stomach with one hand and ate with the other
"That's grandmas big boy" she smiled "and he about to be a big brother. You excited Hendrix?"
He smiled while looking down at his food again and I watched him for a little bit, slouched back in my seat
" the real question is are you and Kay ready?" She looked at me and I laughed
"Shittt we ain got no choice but to be"
"You right. But y'all still have a couple of months then you back to square one, times two"
"Kay remind me every chance she get. Trust me ma, you ain tellin me shit I ain hear from karma"
"I bet so.. where my girl at?"
"She went shopping with her sister this morning"
"Which sister? The one she got into it with?"
"Nah, milani"
"Okay, that's better. I like Lani but that other one.. I'd just hate for her to try something with my daughter and I'll have to go whoop her ass" she told me with a straight face making me laugh
" London ain stupid. I'll light the whole block up bout kay. Ion mind then being cool or whatever cause kay a grown ass woman but she already know ima keep a eye on her. Cross my girl once and I ain lookin at you the same"
"And stay that way cause I love karma but she too forgiving sometimes. And it's nothing wrong with being forgiving but some people use that to their advantage and like I said, somebody mess with her ima whoop they ass"
"Look at you" I smiled "always ready to beat somebody ass bout kay.. you ain ever been like that for everybody else I used to fuck with"
"Because I like karma. She ain no girl compared to all them other lil heffas you used to run around with"
"Heffas?" I repeated with a chuckle and she nodded
"Yeah, heffas. That's exactly what they were. Them lil hoes wasn't no good for you and you know it. Now look at what happens when you get a good girl.. you came a long way Benji and I wish you knew how proud I am of you cause at one point, I can't lie, I just knew you would either end up in jail or in a grave too and that hurt me"
"Nah, it ain gone be none of that" I shook my head
"I believe that now but at one point all I could do was worry. You don't even realize how deep you were in these streets or you just didn't care"
"I just ain care honestly. To be real I felt like I ain really had no reason to stay out the streets. Now I'm just tryina make sure I keep my family safe"
I tried to pick Hendrix cup up and move it closer to him but he reached and grabbed it with both hands, lowkey snatching the shit
"Damn nigga ion want yo shit"
"Mine" he told me with a smile and started drinking the orange juice out of the cup
"Why he eating breakfast so late?"
