August 14, Wednesday

"Sarai sit your butt down and eat!"I semi yelled at her.

She was up trying to take Sevyn's food.

"Mommy. When are we going back to school?"Kai asked me.

"Umm I'm two weeks baby."

"Oh okay, I can't wait."

"You're ready to go back?"

"Mhm."he nodded.

"That's good baby, I'm glad that you enjoy school and learning."

"I just can't wait for science class."

"You're gonna get an A in all of your classes right?"

"Yes."

I gave him a high five.

"That's right son."

Heaven came downstairs with a sad look on her face.

"Good morning."I said to her as she walked into the kitchen.

"Good morning."she said lowly.

"There's your food, how'd you sleep?"

"Good, thank you."she said and I nodded.

"Of course. Heaven I'm sorry for putting my hands on you and I'll never do it again. Last night I lost my temper and I really regret that. There's no excuse that I can make to prove my actions. I admit that I was wrong and I hope that we can move on from that situation..."

"I'm not mad at you and I don't want you to be mad at me. I also don't want you to be scared of me or anything because like I said before I lost my temper last night and I regret doing what I did. I want you to know that I love you with all of my heart and I genuinely am sorry...."

"However, I will not, under any circumstance, put up with disrespect from you or anyone of your siblings. What I did was wrong, yes, but Heaven you were also in the wrong. Now you can believe in what you want to believe in and have your opinions about things, but when you cross the line and disrespect me or your father, or grandparents, it's a big one..."

"Also, don't be stepping to me or anybody else I just named like you're grown because you're not. You can say what you want but all of that yelling and base in your voice is not called for! Another thing, your dad and I have your best interest at heart. We wouldn't be telling you things or keeping you away from certain things if we didn't care about you. So when we tell you no about something or not to worry about something or not do something or to do something then just accept that..."

"You might not understand our reason for no right now but as the years go by you'll start realizing why we said what we said. Like I said before you can believe what you want but it's up to us to make the better decision. If you let us do our part then maybe you can have your way when it comes to some things. With that being said, I'm going to need the passwords to your phone, iPad, and desktop because I'm restricting you from social media for a while."

"Oh and anything that goes on between me and your dad is our business. I know you're going to be exposed to it because of who we are but you shouldn't question me or him about anything. We've worked out our differences and now everything's fine. No matter what your dad and I will always love each other. I'm not saying that the things we go through are okay but they are for the better. Next time you want to ask me a question about our relationship, you come correct without all of the extra and maybe you'll get an answer. Im not mad at you at all, I just wanted you to feel where I'm coming from, okay?"

She nodded while wiping her tears and I hugged her.

"I love you okay, I'm not here to hurt you baby. Never will I ever and if I did, I apologize."I said while kissing her forehead.

"I love you too and I'm sorry mama."she said while hugging me back.

"Okay now finish eating your food before it gets cold."I said while grabbing my phone off of the counter and going to sit on the couch.

"Mommy yook."Sarai said to me as she walked over here with her iPad.

"Who did that!?"I asked her as I smiled while looking at the scribble scrabble she'd drew.

"Me."

"You did!!? That's sooo cute baby, just like you."I said while picking her up and tickling her.

She laughed while wrapping her arm around my neck as I blew on her neck.

Once I knew she'd had enough, I stopped and she went on about her day.

"Mommy go to park."Sevyn said while walking up to me and pointing outside in the backyard.

"You wanna go to the park?"I asked him.

"Park."Sarai ran back in here and said.

"I guess we can go."I said while standing up.

"Come on let's go put shoes on."I said to them and they followed me.

They were already dressed for the day so that wasn't a problem.

I took them to their room to put their shoes on before going to my room and putting mines on.

Once we were all settled with our shoes on, I took them outside to the backyard.

I walked them to their slide and swung set.

Sarai decided to get on the slide and Sevyn decided to get on the swing.

I sat him in the swing and began to push him.

"Sevyn how old are you?"I asked him.

"Two!!"he yelled while holding his head back.

"Boy stop doing that and how old is Sarai?"I asked him as I pointed at her.

"Mommy yook!!"she yelled as she went down the slide.

"Yaaaaay good job baby!!"I cheered her on.

"Rai two!"Sevyn said while still holding his head back.

I stopped the swing and held his cheeks as I got into his face.

"Didn't I just say stop doing doing that little boy?"

"No!"he said and I scrunched my face up while scooting back.

"Oooh yo breathe stink!!"I joked while fanning my nose and he laughed.

He reached for me to get back in his face and I did.

He blew his breathe in my face again and I did the same thing causing him to laugh harder.

After a few more times of doing that, I heard keys.

When I turned around, I saw my husband.

"Dada!!"Sarai exclaimed while running to him.

On her way, she fell and Scarr and I both turned around to laugh for a couple of seconds.

Yeah we're them type of parents, ain't shit.

"Awwww is daddy baby okay?"he asked her as he picked her up and held her close.

"You wanna go see daddy?"I asked Sevyn and he nodded while smiling.

I took him out of the swing before going up to Scarr.

When I got to Scarr he took Sevyn out of my arms.

"What's up son!?"

"Y'all been good to my wife?"

They both looked at him like nigga we don't know what the fuck that mean.

"Yes they've been good baby."I said while wiping Sevyn's cheek off.

"How you doing?"Scarr asked me.

"I'm doing better."

"Dada swing!!"Sarai said to him and we all walked back over to the swing.

He put both of them in a swing and we began pushing them.

"How was your day or morning?"I asked him.

"It was straight. I just went to do a couple interviews, sound check, and I might've stopped at Icebox."

"What you mean might've?"I chuckled.

"Just know I got some fire shit on the way. How did the talk with Heaven go?"

"How do you know I talked to her?"

"'Cause she apologized to me and gave me a hug when I walked in."

"Oh it was good, I took your advice. I apologized to her but I did let her know that she was wrong in many ways not only by what happened last night but her behavior as a whole lately. Then I told her that I'm gonna need her gadget passwords because she's on a restriction from social media for a while."

He widened his eyes at me.

"You know she loves her TikTok."

"Yea but I love my daughter."I said and he nodded.

"I get what you're saying but that's by far the only thing that's gonna keep her sane."

"I didn't say I wanted her gadgets, I said passwords. She's not restricted from her phone but she's restricted from social media. There's a lot of other things that she can do besides that and fuck TikTok anyways"

"What you mean fuck TikTok?—"

"Do I gotta get your passwords and restrict you from social media too?"I asked him.

"I'm grown."he said and I mugged him.

"Don't play with me."I said while raising my hand to hit him.

"Aight chill, I'm playing."he said while pushing my hand back.

"Yeah that's what I thought."

"What that is you cooked in there?"

"Lunch."

"What is it?"

"Club sandwiches and fries."

"White ass meal."he said and I hit him.

"You gone eat that white ass meal too right?"

"Hell yeah."

"Oh okay."

"Of course ima eat it baby, I love yo cooking just as much as I love everything else about you."he said while wrapping his arms around me and kissing my forehead.

I smiled as I continued pushing the twins.

"I love you baby."he said while letting me go and pushing Sarai.

"I love you more."

After about ten more minutes, we went back into the house and all watched a movie together in the living room.
