"Baby, you see this shit going on with Mia and Haven?" Lonte asks as I sit Amir in his high chair. I pour some gerber biscuits on their trays and let me attack them. 
                          
"No, what is it?" I ask. 
                          
"This" He says handing me his phone. I scroll through the comments and pictures on each page. "Haven better chill out" 
                          
"Somebody need to pull up and beat her ass, karma ain't got her ass yet" I say rolling my eyes. 
                          
"Ma, I miss Ariel" A.J says walking into the kitchen. This boy acts so miserable when Ariel leaves. 
                          
"She'll see you at school" I say handing him lunch money. 
                          
"Yeah but still, she's always gone" He says grabbing it and sitting at the island. 
                          
"Quit being dramatic boy" I say causing him to smile. Leah walks in with her backpack and a frown on her face. "What's wrong with you ladybug?" I ask. 
                          
"I wanna hang out with Tamia" She says. That's all this child talks about now. 
                          
"Ooh Ariel's calling ma" A.J says answering the phone. He sits beside me and sits his phone on one of the twin's blocks. 
                          
"Hey" She says. 
                          
"Hey sis, what ya doing?" A.J asks. 
                          
"Listening to Mia rant about Haven, it's annoying" She says. I roll my eyes and grab his phone. "Hey ma" She says. 
                          
"Hey babe, what's going on with those two?" I ask. 
                          
"Haven posted a picture on Instagram with Kameryn throwing shade about our relationship then she dm'd Mia about some other stuff and just got out of line" Ariel explains. 
                          
"I'm just gone tell the bitch to pull up since she got so much shit to say, have her and shawty matching scars and I'll give her ass a few bullets for trophy too, I'll take that charge quick" Mia rants in the back. 
                          
"See" Ariel says. "Her nephew's getting ready and this is what she's been doing since she got up" 
                          
"If anything goes down, call me" Lonte says. 
                          
"Don't call him, call me, and Ayla" I say. He sucks his teeth and sits at the island. 
                          
"I will" She says. "When y'all leaving for school?" She asks. 
                          
"In about 15 minutes, Amir and Ayden won't eat their food so I'm bout to make them a bottle" I say putting my hair up. "And me and your dad have a few errands to run, so you and A.J got babysitting duty after school" I add. 
                          
"So y'all just wasn't gone tell us?" A.J asks. 
                          
"Yep" I say getting up. I grab two bottles and tops from the dish rack and rinse them out. 
                          
I get the twins' bottles made and hand it to them. "Mama, daddy and I have the baby bags ready and in the car" Leah says grabbing her lunch box from the fridge. 
                          
"Thanks baby girl, your lunch money is in your lunch box, put it in your bag" I say referring to her small Burberry Nova Check cross body bag. She wears it faithfully and she better cause she begged me for it for some months. 
                          
"Okay, thank you" She says. I grab Ayden and Lonte picks up Amir. We place them in their car seats and he grabs both. 
                          
We drop the kids off and I check my to do list to figure out what we gotta get done. 
                          
Ariel
                          
"Calm down" I say to Mia as Ty eats his breakfast. I'm just gonna go to Chick-Fil-A or something.
