"I'm setting aside the money for the kids tonight." I said, Jackson wrapping his arms around my waist.

"Oh, don't worry about that. I got it."

"What do you want, Avery?" I asked. He laughed.

"Nothing. Just let me handle some things, superwoman.."

"Anytime. Feel free to take your demons off my hands."

"I got go. I have a surgery for Nisha." He said looking at his watch, referring to the biker who'd gotten hit instead of us.

"That woman is... definitely interesting." He said then bit his lip, watching her walk away.

"What's interesting is my daughter knowing what a hooker is. Wanna tell me why she suddenly knows that after spending the weekend with Uncle Daveed?" I eyed him.

"You see, um, she... I... I forgot to do my rounds so I'm gonna go." He rambled before walking away.

"Not if you're gonna eat. You wanna break the teeth you don't have?"

He glared at me, slapping my chest with his tiny hand as his way of saying he was angry with me. I laughed, putting him down then going to see Rae.
