I finished flat ironing my hair before I unplugged it, yesterday my daughter and I had just came back from Maldives.

It was actually a fun place to go, she's ready to go to the Bahamas next since she's finna be 6.

"Mommy your thick.." she said walking up to me.

I held my head sideways,"Girl- don't say that." I said shaking my head.

"Come on and lemme do this head.." I said as I sat on the bed and she sat in between my legs.

She got on her iPad as I started spraying water on her hair to brush it up.

"Mama.."

"Yes Acadia." I said as I parted her hair.

her name was actually Journeys middle name...

"Can we go see mom...and then go by papa house." She said and I nodded.

"Yes we can...." I said putting her hair into two small buns

β€’β€’β€’β€’

"Here." I handed her bag she always took with her.

"Blrrddd blrrddd..." She sung as we walked out the house.

"Been around Amare too much..." I said as she got in the passengers seat.

"Hold on...you ain't suppose to be up here." I said and she smiled at me.

"Gonna get my ass arrested.." I said as I got in and buckled up.

"Mama.." she said as I backed out the driveway.

"Yes."

"Are we gonna see uncle Amare?"

"Yes him Yana Mariah and Destiny..and they kids." I said shaking my head.

"Okay...mama."

"Acadia."

"Can we go buy the store??"

"You got money?" She held up a $5 bill.

β€’β€’β€’β€’

I held Acadia's hand as we walked toward Journey grave.

Acadia let my hand go and removed the flowers that had been there for a while with the new ones she bought.

Imma give her another $5 just for that

"Mama...I miss her." She said and I squatted down beside her.

"What you mean..?" I asked running my hand over Journeys tombstone.

"I don't know..I see how your mood changes when you show me videos or pictures of her." She said messing with the small rocks.

"Mmm.." I hummed.

"When will I see her..?" She asked and I felt an heavy weight on my chest.

"You'll see her one day...Somewhere better." I said wiping the tears that had fallen.

"Will you be there too mama?" She asked tracing the letters on the tombstone.

"I hope so.." I said standing up fixing my dress.

"Can I see a picture of her again?" She asked as we walked back to the car.

"Yeah..." I said as her ass got back in the damn front and I got in the driver.

I handed her my phone and watched as she smiled making my eyes water a lil.

"Her smile pretty..." She said handing my phone back to me.

"Like yours mommy..." she added and I kissed her cheek before pulling out the church yard.

β€’β€’β€’β€’

"What y'all asses doing here?" My dad asked as he picked up Acadia.

"We staying the night papa." She said.

"So all y'all nigga finna be staying the night." He said

"Unt unt that's too many kids for me take your child.." he said handing Acadia back to me.

I laughed as I walked inside.

"ADALIYAAA!!" Yana basically ran and hugged me.

"I missed you too." I said laughing and she grabbed Acadia.

"Where's my new nephew??" I asked her.

"On the couch with Amare." She said and I went into the living room where Amare was on the couch playing the game with Jahari in his lap.

Their son.

"Damn like he knew you was coming..." Amare said handing him to me.

"Yeahhh he know wassup..." I said as he smiled showing his gums.

He started grabbing on hair,"Nevermind get yo child finna fuck up my damn wig." I said and Amare laughed as he took him back.

"TT liya!" I turned and saw iniko running towards me.

"Wassup lil boy." I said as he jumped up onto the couch to hug me.

"TT liya next time you go somewhere can I go?" He asked and I laughed.

"Yeah I'll ask your mom and make sure you can come." I said and he smiled hard.

"Can you do my hair later too??" He asked and I nodded.

"When was the last time your hair was washed??" I asked and he shrugged.

"Chile...okay where's your lil sister?" I asked.

"Outside with mama and destiny." He said.

Destiny was Mariah's girlfriend.

So we were right all along.

I walked to the back door and opened it.

"Got my baby out here in this heat." I said shaking my head and Mariah got up.

"Heyyyy!" She hugged me and I noticed she was limping.

"Strap game..."I whispered to her

"Out of this world." She whispered back and I laughed as I let her go.

"Hey destiny." I said.

She looked up from her phone," Hey you had fun on your trip?" She asked as she rocked India in her arms.

"Yup, it was good ." I said then looked over at India more.

"Awe yall done for her ears pierced..." I said and picked her up.

She stayed asleep for a few minutes before opening them and looking around.

"She like I ain't go to sleep in this nigga arms now." Mariah said and I laughed as I bounced her in my arms.

"She'll be back out in a minute watch..." Destiny said.

"Girl when iniko hair was washed??" I asked her.

"Last month cause that's when I braided it." Mariah said and I nodded.

"Wanna go lay her down??" Mariah asked and I nodded.

I walked up to my old room and laid her in the bassinet in there.

I walked back out and went to the bathroom, I scrolled on my phone once I washed my hands.

I sat my phone down and sighed as a memory came back.

"Baeee imma fall mane..." I said standing on the bathtub rim.

"Mamas i gotchu." Journey laughed before kissing me.

"Now come on bitch." She said and I smacked my lips.

"I'm trying BitCh hell.." I said as she squatted down.

I threw one of my legs over her shoulder than the other before she grabbed both of my hands with hers.

"You drop me you gonna know sumn I tell you that right now." I said and she shook her head as she went to Instagram.

"If you scared just say dat..." she said and I looked at her phone seeing she was recording.

"Mmcht...nigga-" I said moving making me fall back but Journey turned and caught me fast as fuck.

"Now if I ain't love you I would've let Yo ass break up damn neck..." she said and I only stared at her as my heart was racing.

She helped me stand up, she grabbed my waist pulling me closer to her before placing a kiss on my forehead then my lips.

I quickly shook my head as I wiped tears from my eyes,"Wish you was still here..." I mumbled looking down.

"Didn't I say don't grieve for long..."

I jumped back and looked to my side,"J-Journey..."

"I mean yeah kinda..." she said and I felt tears in my eyes.

"Hey mamas come here don't cry..." she said and I slowly walked up to her before hugging her.

"You gonna be okay Ight??" She said kissing my forehead and I shook my head no.

"Bae...I can't I miss you..." I said and she wiped my face.

"You will....and promise me sumn.." she said and I nodded.

"Stop doing this..." she said pulling up my sleeve and pointed at my slits on my wrist.

I gulped as I made eye contact with her again,"You promise?" She said holding her pinky out.

"I promise..." I said holding mines out also.

"Thank you... I love you baby okay, and I'm so proud of you for everything...even with raising Acadia your doing awesome..." she said and softly kissed my lips making my eyes close

I opened my eyes back and looked around seeing me by myself again. I sighed before I heard a knock on the door.

"We finna go smoke while dad watch the kids you coming??" I heard Amare voice making me open the door.

"Yeah...I'll come." I said grabbing my phone.

"You good? Yo eyes red.." he said and I nodded.

He shook his head as he threw his arm around mf shoulder,"Come on I know you deserve a blunt or 5." He said and I laughed.
