Elijah POV

Since we got back from Aruba things have basically went back to how it was before Jaelynn moved out. She rules this house for now until we get a new one. The boys are happy she's back only because she cooks and cleans.

Tonight I decided to have a nice dinner for everyone. I made sure to tell everyone to get dressed up and make sure they clean up good. Plus, I wanted to tell my boys the ideas I came up with and see what they think.

Looking up I see most of them coming into the dining room looking surprisingly good. I nod as they took a seat.

"Why the hell are we acting like we bad and boujie right now?" Damian said.

"Can't we have nice dinners for once?" I joked.

"What the hell has Jaelynn done to you?" He joked back.

Specifically hiring a personal chef so Jaelynn didn't have to cook for once. The chef came in and announced what would be on the menu.

"Where is Jaelynn?" I asked.

"She's coming... she can only waddle to fast. So I had Renzo walk behind her to make sure she's okay".

"Can any of y'all use chop sticks?" I asked. Looking around the room no one nodded. I wanted to face palm myself. "Well you better try".

About 4 mins later I hear heels clicking against the marble floor leading its way to the dining room. I don't know what was going on but Jaelynn was laughing.

"Damn those floors are slippery. I almost ate it" Jaelynn told Renzo as they walked in together. Shaking my head she will never learn.

"Nice of you both to join us" she mugged me before sitting down next to me. "You okay?".

She nodded "Yeah but those floors tried to take me down just now".

"Baby, how many times do I have to remind you about wearing heels in this house. It's not made for heels".

"Well a girl gotta look pretty. Let me live. Pain is beauty right" she smiled.

"I hope our daughter doesn't act like this or I'm going gray".

The chef came out with the appetizer with a shrimp salad. He handed everyone a plate as he got to Jaelynn I shook my head "What? Why?" She asked.

"Because the doctor said no seafood. Take this back and just give her a Caesar salad instead" the chef nodded and went to the kitchen.

In the midst of everyone finishing up their food I clinked my glass with my fork getting everyone's attention.

"I want to thank everyone for cooperating with getting dressed up and just having a nice dinner for a change".

"This is me all day everyday" Jaelynn joked. Side eyeing her and smirking.

"Anyway, I called this dinner because I wanted to discuss some things. As my boys you are my family. You all were there when shit was real and now things are starting to change. We have a baby coming soon and Jaelynn and I thought it would be best if we move into our own house".

All I heard were snickering and gasp. Shaking my head these boys were childish as hell.

"Where we going now?" Damian asked.

"You ain't going nowhere we are" Jaelynn chimed in.

"What the fuck? What she mean?" He asked.

"Okay, so before I was interrupted with the unnecessary side noises. We are going to move but I was going to let you guys stay in this house".

"Pshh.. that's what I thought" Damian mumbled.

"Uh Uh rudeness.. you should be grateful he's even thinking about any of you. Instead of leaving you guys to fend for yourself. Hella disrespectful right now" Jaelynn was that girl. She as sweet but let something happen she would be the first one there saying something.

The silence filled the room after Jaelynn came out of her mouth. Even though I know the guys wanted to say something they knew better to be disrespectful to Jaelynn.

"So can I say you guys will be okay here in this house when we move?" I asked.

"Come on now you act like we little kids. Of course we'll be okay" Damian said.

"Y'all act like children that's why he has to make sure" Jaelynn chimed in. Sighing I grabbed her hand and tightened my grip. She side eyed me and rolled her eyes.

"Like I was saying... we'll be fine just go ahead and do you" Damian said. Jaelynn was about to respond to that but I tightened my grip on her hand and shook my head.

"Alexis should've tried harder" Damian quickly mumbled.

My eyes shot wide open as he said what he said. Jaelynn flipped her hair "what'd you say?".

"Nothin' can we eat now?" He asked.

"No you don't get to eat unless you repeat that punk ass statement you said just now. This is the problem with you Damian, your mouth doesn't seem to just stop. How old are you? 5?. Come on now grow up. And if you want Alexis so damn bad you go after her thirsty ass".

Closing my eyes because this was going to get ugly fast. "Damian, what you said wasn't needed. I don't know what you were trying to accomplish. Only to get Jaelynn all riled up when she should be relaxed. Since day one you were rude to Jaelynn... it needs to stop right here and now".

Damian didn't say anything but he got up and left the room.

"I don't need you to fight my battles. Shit I may be short but I can fight my own if needed to. Y'all don't want the old Jaelynn to come back. Don't fuckin tempt me!".

"Baby relax okay. Don't need to be rushing you to the hospital later. Just chill". She nodded and started counting to 10.

Well this dinner didn't go as planned. What else is new?. Now I have to worry about damian and Alexis now. Maybe that electrical fence Jaelynn keeps mentioning might be needed.

Plz don't mind the gif of Tammy Rivera just imagine it was her walking into the dining room laughing... have a happy new year and be safe!
