Shawn and I have been dating a little over two months now and things have been great. He's attentive and I think it's finally time he meets my kids. I'd rather him interact with them early on so he'll know what he's dealing with, if he decides to further our relationship. I didn't want to overwhelm Shawn with Ryan and RJ by meeting him at a public place, so we're going to chill at the house. Kelly is out of town so this was the perfect weekend.
                          
"Mommy, is Mr. Shawn coming today?" Ryan ran into my room asking. I was currently curling my hair in my bathroom.
                          
"Yes baby." I turned to look at her and her hair was messed up. "Ry what happened to your hair? I just did it." I literally left her alone for an hour and now her hair is a hot mess.
                          
"Uh I don't know." She said. She looked everywhere in the bathroom but me.
                          
"Uhhh I don't know." I mocked her.
                          
"Sit by my bed so I can redo it." 
                          
She left out the bathroom and I finished my hair before tending to hers again. Once I was done, I tapped her butt to leave and I walked to RJ's room and saw him on his ipad. I got eye level to him and took the tablet away from him.
                          
"RJ baby, you feeling good?" Sometimes he gets in a little mood so I always try to keep his spirits up with things that stimulate his mind. He loves watching Michael Jackson music videos so I made an extensive playlist on YouTube and it works every time.
                          
"Yes mommy." He dragged. He kept patting my arm to get the iPad back but I took it out of his eyesight.
                          
"You remember Mommy said that Mr. Shawn is visiting today?" I asked.
                          
"Mr. Shawn. Hov. Rapper. Jay-Z. Mr. Shawn. The Roc. Rapper. Jigga. Rapper." He repeated for his memory. It was lowkey funny hearing him repeat all of Shawn's personas.
                          
"Alright honey that's enough. You gonna be good when he comes? He knows all about you and he's excited to see you and your sister." I said.
                          
"Really?" His eyes lit up.
                          
"Uh huh! Let's go downstairs to wait for him." I took his hand and walked him down the stairs.

I pulled into the driveway, with my gifts in tow, as I rang the doorbell. It didn't take long for Beyoncé to answer.
                          
"Hey babe." I said, kissing her on the lips. She blushed.
                          
"Hey baby. What's all this?" She pointed at the gifts under my arms.
                          
"They're for the kids." I said.
                          
"You didn't have to get them anything for them to like you. You're already lovable." She said.
                          
"Oh really? I think that deserves another kiss then." She smirked and kissed me again.
                          
"Alright enough of that, come in." She said, pulling me into the house. She led me to the living room and I saw the back of the kids first as we walked inside.
                          
"Kids, this is Mr. Shawn. This is my baby girl Ryan and right here is my son RJ." Beyonce introduced. Ryan got up to greet me while RJ stayed seated giving me no eye contact. I looked confused. 
                          
"Did he hear me?" I kinda whispered to Beyoncé. 
                          
"Yeah baby. Just go and sit by him." She coached. I slowly made my way to RJ and sat down like she said. I tried to read up on everything related to autism, but each case is different for everyone. I didn't want to upset him or make him act out.
                          
"Uh Hey RJ. I heard you like music. I got you something." I said to him. He slowly turned to look at me in the face. I took the bag from under my arm and placed it in his lap.
                          
"You need any help?" I asked. He didn't try to open the gift yet.
                          
"Yes." He said. Okay, that's progress, I thought. Beyoncé and Ryan looked as I helped him open it and he gasped seeing what I got him. Beyoncé did too.
                          
"Shawn that cannot be what I think it is." She said.
                          
"Well if you think that's the glove that Michael Jackson wore and the last autographed cd he ever signed, then you're right." I said smiling.
                          
"Mommy look! It's MJ's glove! His glove!" RJ said, never taking his eyes off the glove.
                          
"What do you say baby?" Beyonce said to RJ, grabbing his chin to look at her.
                          
"Thank you Mr. Shawn." He said looking at me.
                          
"You're welcome lil man. And I didn't forget about you Ryan." She perked up at the mention of her name and walked closer to where I was sitting.
                          
"Whatcha get me?" She asked. She had the most adorable voice. It sounded like Bey's but more higher.
                          
"Ion know. Open up and see." I handed her the bag and she ripped open the gift.
                          
"OOOH MOMMY! It's the Nintendo Switch I wanted!" She said. I got her a personalized Nintendo Switch with pink graffiti on it with her name written in cursive. Bey mentioned how Ryan is kinda a tomboy and video games are her favorite so  I thought of this gift for her.
                          
"I see baby. What do you say?" Beyonce said. Ryan damn near tackled me with a hug.
                          
"Thank you, thank you!" She said. I laughed and hugged her back. I know gifts can't buy their love, but it doesn't hurt to butter them up a bit.
                          
"You're welcome. Hope you and RJ like your gifts." I said.
                          
"Kids me and Mr. Shawn are going to the kitchen, you two sit here and play okay?" Beyonce said. They were so focused on their gifts, they barely heard us leave the room. Once we were out of sight, Beyoncé wrapped her arms around my waist and hugged me tight.
                          
"You really outdid yourself and it's only your first time meeting them." She said in disbelief. We both laughed.
                          
"I had to impress them like I impressed you." She rolled her eyes and I kissed her lips. 
                          
"This never gets old." She said after awhile.
                          
"What doesn't get old?" I said, looking down at her.
                          
"Being in your arms. Talking to you. Kissing you. You make me feel like a kid again when we're together and I know it hasn't been long but I'm really feeling you." She confessed. I smiled and kissed her forehead.
                          
"I feel the same way Bey. I never gotten so attached to a woman before like I have for you." I said.
                          
"I just don't want us to get caught up so fast to where you don't wanna be with me anymore." She said lowly.
                          
"Hey, that can never happen. I met the kids and they're great so we'll be good. And if you're concerned about me handling RJ, I read up on his condition and I won't get steered away or scared." I said. I meant every word and I knew she could tell.
She stared into my eyes.
                          
"I love you." She said. 
                          
"I love you too."
