Kierra
I decided to take Khari to the mall since he's growing out of his clothes and shoes.
"I talked to your auntie Lisa."
Khari looked up at me from the clothes.
"What she say?"
"She wanted to know was you coming to Memphis for your dad birthday."
"And what did you tell her?"
"That I'll talk to you I know you're 6 but I want to know what you want."
"I don't want to go."
"He's your dad Khari and I know he's dead-," Khari cut me off.
"It was hard to tell that he was my dad he was barely there the only face I saw a lot when I turned 3 was yours it was like he didn't want me or something then several months ago I see you get abused and then he comes after me but you protected me so yeah I'm 6 but Ima smart 6 year old thanks to my mama they and you can tell me that my dad loved me but I never saw or got that. Aug have done more for me than my own dad and we've been in his life for some time now well for you all of your life since y'all are best friends."
"Alright baby I'll let your auntie know and I made sure that if you didn't have a father you'll definitely have a mama I'm your biggest supporter."
"I know that's why I love you."
"I love you too baby."
"So does that mean I finally get the PS4 I've been wanting?"
"You've been doing well in school so why not."
Khari smiled and went back looking at different clothes.
"Mama."
"Yes baby."
"Why you and Aug didn't get together before?"
"Nosy much?"
"Yes yes I am."
I laughed.
"By the time I got ready to tell Aug how I felt he had already found someone else."
"Oh. You plan on getting married to him?"
"Why you don't want me to?"
"No just make sure or ask him to adopt me when y'all do get married," Khari looked at the shirt he had and nodded.
"Ky what's on your mind?"
"Nothing."
"I'm your mama I know you better than yourself."
"I know it's soon but I got attached to Aug and I've been wanting to call him dad for the longest but I'm scared that he won't accept me being as my own dad stopped accepting me."
"I'll have a conversation with him about your concerns okay."
"Okay."
"I think you have enough shirts let's get you some pants to go with them."
"Alrighty."
I grabbed Ky hand and lead him over to the pants section I stood back and let him do his thing my phone rung and it was my mama.
August
When I picked up the kids from school I noticed both of them looking sad K took Ky shopping and I took Shanee grocery shopping with me and we got frozen yogurt now we're back at the house.
"Shanee what's wrong?"
"Nothing."
I stopped her from doing her homework and made her look up at me seeing tears in her eyes.
"Now you wanna try that again on me cause you're crying."
"I don't wanna go to school anymore I get tired of getting bullied by the other girls who have mamas and I don't."
I sighed.
"I know baby your mom died after she gave birth to you the doctors tried everything they could."
"Can K be my mama," Shanee asked.
"Baybeh it's not that easy."
"I hate I hate you," Shanee got off of the barstool and ran upstairs.
I let out another sigh her saying that she hates me stung I walked out the kitchen and made my way upstairs behind Shanee. I walked into her room.
"Baybeh girl."
"Go away I wished I wasn't even born I hate you."
"You hate me?"
Shanee didn't look at me.
"Look at me Shanee you hate me," Shanee looked up at me.
"Yes."
I walked over to Shanee knowing she was bluffing she can't hate me.
"Well I don't hate you I love you and I'm glad that you was born because you're my baybeh girl."
Shanee crawled into my lap and laid her head on my chest.
"I just want a mama daddy that's all you're great and everything I just want that love that a daughter supposed to get from a mama."
Too damn smart for her age.
"I know you do and I'll talk to K and see what she has to say."
"Okay."
"I love you Shanee."
"I love you too daddy and I'm sorry I don't hate you."
"I know you don't baybeh."
I sat with Shanee for a few minutes I looked down and Shanee she was passed out I kissed her forehead and laid her down I covered her up with her covers. I walked out of her room and turns her light off I closed the door and turned seeing K carrying Ky upstairs.
"He fell asleep in the car."
"I'll let him down."
"Okay."
K handed me Ky I walked into his room and laid him down I covered him up.
"Love you dad," Ky mumbled.
I walked out of Ky room and turned the light off I closed the door I made my way down the stairs to the living room seeing K with bags at her feet.
"See y'all had fun."
"Yeah we need to talk."
"Yeah we do."
"Ky wants you to adopt him."
"Really?"
"Yeah he said he sees you as his father fighter and he's been wanting you to call you dad for the longest but he's afraid you want accept him because his dad stopped accepting him."
"It's crazy cause once I laid down he said I love you dad and I'm not going to lie that made me feel good."
"Bet it did."
"Shanee wants you to be her mom she done got attached to you."
"Same with Ky."
"Guess we can meet with the lawyer and get the adoption papers for Ky started."
"You're going to adopt Ky?"
"Yeah why not he called me dad we're going to be getting married soon so why not."
"We never discussed marriage."
"Oh yes we did right after we had drunk sex."
"You remember that."
"Yep."
I grabbed the bags and made my way upstairs to Ky room I placed Ky bags next to his TV stand then I made my way downstairs I walked into the kitchen seeing K putting up the rest of the groceries I smirked I picked her up and sat her in the counter.
