Eyes of Kai:

"I remember that day like it was yesterday"I said patting the spot by me on the bed..

"You DOO!"Kami said with her eyes wide open and hands over her heart..

I nodded "Mmhhmm hop on up I'll tell you all about it.. then after that it's lights out little bit.Way past your bedtime anyway and you still have yet to eat your dinner.."

Kami rolled her eyes.."Mom I'm practically 10 now..Don't I have rights, can't you cut me some slack?"

I ran my hands down the side of her face.."Aw you know what Kami you just made some valid points..Let me just..NO! Start paying rent and we'll talk about talking about it.."

"AYO WHAT'S GOOD MA DUKES!"Kamden said coming around the corner loudly.."Wassup big head!"He said flicking Kami in the head..

"OUCH that hurt you big dummy!"Kami screamed back at her brother..Those two were impossible..Night and day they were.

"Keep your damn hands to yourself boy!I can't wait till y'alls sister comes to get y'all for a week so me and your father can have a piece of mind JESUS!"I said shaking my head..

Kamden just laughed.."Scooch over and make room Dweebs..What cha in hea' talkin' bout?"

"WHY? WHY DOES MOM SEND US TO PRIVATE SCHOOL IF YOU GOING TO TALK LIKE YOU'RE FROM HARLEM SQUARE?I NEED ANSWERS!"Kami said throwing up her hands being over dramatic as usual...

"Well uh, ion know why she sent yo biscuit head but I'm goin' cause we ain't land on Plymouth Rock, Plymouth Rock landed on us!Uh HAAAA!"Kamden said squeezing in next to me and Kami..Thank God I had a King sized bed.

"That's my nigga!"Joshua came in dabbing up Kam..I cleared my throat giving them the eye.."My bad wifey.. The boys got me, in em'.Can't be slaty about greatness!"

"TUH! Hardly!"I said throwing up my hands.."Now if you don't mind watch your damn mouth around my precious children..Also take your son with you and LEAVE PLEASE!Come up in here walking on my beautiful new carpet with Timbs on, TUH LOST Y'ALL'S MINDS TONIGHT..Me and Kami were having girl talk thank you my raggedy men.."

Joshua just lean back laughing.."Buuut you cursed tho..How you gone tell me to watch mine and yours just as filthy"

"Joshua quit playing with me and leave!Take this one witcha!"I said pointing Kamdens way

"Awwwwe PHEWY!Girl talk, shmirl talk..Me an my son live hea' too, so whateva y'all nerds talk about can be said in front of the men of the house..Feel me little nigga?"Joshua said dabbing up Kam yet again..

"Word life!"Kamden said tryna keep up with Joshua's fool ass..

"Little boy just cause you got a shadow on you above ya lip and one string of hair on your 15 year old sack that ain't dropped don't get handled!"I said slightly pushing him...

"Oooooh! Mama BIG MAD, you betta' watch it kid..."Joshua said laughing and snikering with Kamden..

"OOOH that's funny is it..Let's see, what's tonight Wednesday night right Kami?"I said looking over at her..

She giggled.."Yup!"

"Keep up don't forget what tonight is, you still gotta be in here when they leave.."

"No BJ and Steak night?"Joshua mouthed to me..

"Nope!"I said crossing my arms looking away..

"Oh H H H HEEEEEL NO B!I be lookin' forward to this..Chill, chill, chill son..You gotta stop bein' so damn reckless and do what Ma says..Cause if I don't get my steak night..I'M BEATEN ASS!"He said tugging at his belt..

I laughed.."Boy hush up and go get that box with all of our wedding things inside of it.."

"All the way inna attack..Awe yeah you onna tip trip ma, ain't happenin'..Love you wifey but can't do it!"Joshua said sitting back down..

"Oh REEEALLY?"I said giving him the death face..

"Signed, sealed and delivered baby girl..That's out!"He said stomping.."I'm puttin' my big foot down.."

I nodded.."Understood..."No BJ for you then NEGRO!I mouthed back to him..

"On second thought, it's right there inna hall I be bugged out sometimes..I'll be back, son hook up that projector cause you know she gonna wanna watch the videos from that day an shit.."Kai gave Joshua the evil eye."Stuff I meant and stuff!Dang man!"He said heading out the room to grab the wedding box as Kam hooked up the projector..

"AND TAKE THEM TIMBS OFF IN MY HOUSE THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN TAKEN CARE OF AT THE FRONT DOOR SIR!See what I gotta go through Kami?"I said looking over her way..

"If Rina was here we wouldn't have to go through this catastrophe!"Kami said putting her hand on her little hip, looking like a mini me..I smiled thinking about how far we've came..Marina had just turned 21.My first born Kamden was 15 and my soon to be middle baby girl Kami was 9.A boy for Joshua and a girl for me that God blessed us with collectively!In addition with another two cooking in the oven..I still haven't told Joshua yet!He swears he's broke now behindMarina, me and Kami..I can't believe he hasn't noticed I'm almost 5 months..I'm not sure about the genders, I wanted us to find out together..Kind of scared to tell him but I know I have to before I really begin to show.Joshua came back in and I snapped myself out of my thoughts.."Alright you two hoodlums, hop up here and come join the fun.."

Kami handed my a picture.."Look, look Mommy!There's GG Mama, she look good..Awwwwe and look daddy, look at Rina!!She was sooo little and cute!"

Kamden laughed snatching the picture out if Kami's hand.."Dang son, that is Rina wop sided head!"Me and Joshua both went upside his head this time.."OUCH WHAT I DO? DANNNG"

"AYO, you my first and only boy..Mad love kid but watch how you come for Rina..Know you wouldn't be poppin' that fly mess if she was hea'.."Joshua said as Kamden rubbed the spot we went upside on his head..

"Here's some chill pills please take them mother and father..Rina my sista, I could come at her any type of.."

"You wanna finish that sentence Kam?"I said not playing with his crazy ass anymore..

"No ma'am continue.."He said throwing his hands up..

"Okay my bad muchkin'..Where should I start?"

"Start at the part where you're getting ready before the walk down the aisle.."Kami said with eyes full of love..I smiled my heart was overdosing for sure.

"Alright, alright everyone squeeze in this is how it went down.."I said about to tell the story as Joshua intruded..

"Wait, wait, wait.. You tell your side and I'll tell mine."

I rolled my eyes.."Deal.. now shut up boy!"

"Yes ma'am!"He said saluting me..

I shook my head.."Okay now where was I ...So me and my mom were arguing about my hair.."

"You mean grandma Karroll?"Kami asked..

"Mmhhmm.."I said smiling down at Kami..

"Man I HATE HER!"Kamden said shooing the thought of her off..

"Son, hate is such a strong word..Just say you dis like her strong evil ways.."Josh said as I snickered..

"Are y'all ACTUALLY DONE!?Can we begin?"

"My bad wifey, proceed.."

June 5th, 2020Kai's side:

"Kai this makes absolutely no sense what's so ever!"My stress and nerves were already at the ultimate forces of sky high..

I sighed turning around crying.."Ma can you please just be on my side..I know how I want my hair and I only trust my hands.."

She sighed taking a paper towel and dabbing my face.."Weeell you are doing a good job..But you could've at least hired a makeup artist..And WHY on God's green earth would you only have Taylor and Kevin Jr. as your brides maids!?It's just not heard of"

"Knock, knock..Excuse me Mrs. Pres?"Taylor said coming in to save me..

"Oh Taylor, you're quite early..Surprising.."My mom said dryly..

"Riiiiight.Look, I just came to tell you those kids out there playing with your wigs..Trying them on in the lobby running around and allat..."

"OH HELL NO NOT MY GOOD WIGS!"She said feeling her head..

"Girl yes girl!The good ones Mrs. Pres.."Taylor said as my mom headed towards the door.."Run girl, RUN!"

"Okay I'll be back, talk some sense in your home girl please!"My mom said leaving out towards the elevators..

"Awe look at you Kai.. don't let ha drive you bonkers you look so beautiful honey.."

"I do?"I said trying not to let my make-up run..

"Ma you POPPIN', PERIOD!Now finish that head so we can get you down this Ilse!"Taylor said pulling out a flask and downing it..

"Girl usually I would say something but at this point I need a swig if that?"

"OOOH shit! TAKE IT TO THE HEAD!"Taylor said as I took a swig..

"Tequila Taylor!?"

"Aye be sippin' or be passin'.."Taylor said taking back the flask..

"What if he decides he doesn't want me or he's not ready.. or what if I fall or have bad gas..So much could go wrong..And I just.."

"Hey, hey, hey.. calm down Kai, you mad bugged ma.."Taylor said taking another sip..

I sighed as the door opened.."I know what will help you was the tension big sis..I got some weed!"

"Oooooh right on time Kev but I have on make up and.."

"Shh shh shh shhhh...Just take this one to the face.."Kevin said handing me a nice fatty.."Smoke it off sis.."

Joshua interrupted..

"Damn, so that explains you acting type strange."Joshua said busting out laughing..

"What did Mommy do daddy?"Kami said looking over Joshua's way.

"Well for one she slapped the preacher dead on the ass talkin' bout some..Let's Dooo this JOHNNY!OH WAIT BUT THIS THE FUNNY PART.."He couldn't even finish without making himself laugh.."AYOO when ya's papa Kev was walkin' this nerd down the isle she turned to him half way down and said..That's enough! I'm good I got this..Oh and when Rina was coming down the isle throwing the flowers and allat jazz ya momma stopped dead in her tracks and saidYou betta' throw the SHIT out them flowers love bug!"

"Fake news!I won't allow it!"Kai said crossing her arms

"Oh really is that sooo?"Joshua said tugging at his beard..

"You heard what I said!"Kai battered her eyes..

"You getting tight or you done cause I have the video be to prove it cornball!"

"Put it in, gahead' I want you to put it in!"Kai said as they both started play fighting..

"Does anyone plan on telling the fucking truth tonight, no more lies!"The room all fell silent turning their heads towards Marina..

"What happened baby girl?"Joshua asked as Kai, Kamden & Kami all looked confused..

"You said my mom died from and overdose, what the fuck happened!?Cause these police reports say other wise..Was it you Kai, did you fucking do it!?"Marina stud in a rage throwing papers..

"AYO YOU BETTER CALM DOWN AND TALK TO YOUR MOTHER WITH SOME RESPECT!"Joshua said standing up..

"It's okay Joshua let Marina feel her emotions..It's time you told her the truth..I'll get the kids ready for bed.."Kai got up turning Marina grabbing her hands.."No matter what your mom was battling I would have never done anything to harm her!That just wasn't my place no matter how bad things got.And believe you me they got bad!I had nothing to do with her death Rina..You gotta believe me.."

Marina sighed crying.."I know I'm sorry, I just I ....I need the truth and Uncle Jonesy and Quan won't tell me zlich..I can'tremember anything I've blocked so much of it out of my memory I just I want to know.I didn't mean what I said Kai..You know you'll always be my mom, I just need answers.."

Kai nodded.."And the truth you shall get love bug..Kami, Kamden give your sister some love and say goodnight.."Kai said backing away..

"Night Rina.."Kami said giving her bug sister a hug..

"Night ugly!"Kamden said bucking..

"Boy take yo sister and heat up y'all's plates..After that it's over for tonight,Capiche?"Kai said making an okay with her hand..

"Capiche."Kami and Kamden both said back heading out..

"Goodnight love y'all.."Marina said feeling bad for her actions as a big sister and how she busted in on everybody..She knew she had let out anger get the best of her.

"Okay well I'll go make you and your dad a plate you guys talk amongst yourselves.."Kai said nodding and leaving the room..

Later on that midnight around 12:30 AM...

"Psssst. Psssst Kam.."Kami snuck into her brother's room calling him trying to whisper but loud enough where wasn't..

He rubbed his eyes turning over making out his sister in the corridor."What you still doin' up dweeb?"

"I can't sleep can I come in here with you pleeeaaase Kamden.."

"Huuuuuuuu fine! Come on but no farts or gas of any kind in hea' yo..You know how you get!"He said buttoning his little sister's nose..

"Sooo, is it true Kam?Was daddy really a big dealer!?"Kami asked with a strange twinkle in her eyes..

Kamden sighed he knew the truth and wanted his little sister far from it.."Thas crazy mad man talk..Get some sleep we got school tomarr nerd.."

"Okaaay.."Kami said turning over going to sleep..Kamden just laid there looking at the ceiling..There were parts if their life he didn't understand..He didn't know it all but he was going to find out..No matter what!
