Gia Amour Brewster
"Omg Gia he really has your whole face." I read out loud smiling. "Finally everyone else think he look like his sperm donor." I said while licking my lips reading the rest of the comments.
"He's so cute"
"Look papa they said you cute, say thank you." I said looking down at my son watching him look at the phone as if he could actually read the comments.
"Thwank you." He spoke with the popsicle in his mouth causing me to laugh.
"It's not even 11 am yet and he eating a damn popsicle for breakfast ghetto."
"See ya this why I don't be getting on this shit like that. Always a bitch in my business. We been up since 8 this morning my son had breakfast weirdo." I said shaking my head.
"Yea I got time today. Sick of you hoes." I said.
"Hoes." I heard causing me to snap and turn to look at my son.
"ESSEX!" I yelled causing him to jump and look at me.
"Don't say that. Okay it's a bad word." I told him as he laughed.
"See ya got me cussing in front of my child. I'm getting off this." I said pressing the end button.
"Come on let me clean you up. And say another bad word imma pop you." I told him as he just stared at me laughing causing me to shake my head. Little nigga think everything is funny. I had no idea where he got it from. Damn sure wasn't me and definitely not his rude ass father.
"Give me this you just making a mess at this point now." I told him taking the popsicle disposing of it. Hearing my phone ring, I grabbed it seeing it was my mother FaceTiming me.
"Just doing my morning FaceTime call, where's my grand baby?" She asked as I flipped the camera showing him.
"Mamaaaa!" Essex yelled causing me to roll my eyes. My mom swear this was her child and instead of calling her grandma she insisted on him calling her mama. The lady was truly sick.
"Your sister is truly driving me crazy. She went from not wanting to celebrate her damn birthday to now she wants a dinner. And me ya dad to fly out there. I swear I'm taking your dad and destiny and we moving to some country without phones. Ya damn kids get in my nerve." She vented causing me to laugh.
"That girl don't know what she want. Just ignore her. She getting the surprise party and that's that." I said as my mom sighed.
"I know but hearing her complain is so draining. Now you sure Zach gonna let us do it at his club? Or we have to go to Troy's shit with the leaky ceiling." She said while making a face causing me to laugh.
"Yes, and Uncle Troy not gon be satisfied till someone trip and sue his ass." I said as she nodded her head.
"Well let me know if you need help with anything keep me posted." She said as I nodded my head pressing the red button.
Dior's 21st birthday was coming up and we were giving her a surprise birthday party. She was never big on birthdays which is crazy because everyone in our family is, yet she was the old ball out. She never had a party and never really did anything besides a small intimate dinner with our siblings and parents. But over the past two years I could say she has come out her little shell. She's way more out going and more confident with herself so I pray and hope she actually enjoys this party and not hate it.
"Mommy stwicky." Essex said holding has hands up as I nodded my head. "Yes papa let's go take a bath." I said picking him up making our way up the stairs.
"DADDDY!" Essex yelled pushing to her down as he ran on my bed to his father.
"Boy if you don't get off my white comforter." I yelled as Zach put his phone down picking Essex up.
"Tell mommy leave you." Zach said as I rolled my eyes. "Come on bath time." I said as Essex shook his head playing with the chains Zachary had on.
"I'll give him a bath." Zach said in his country ass accent causing me to nodd my head as I watched them interact with one another. Three years later and I still can't believe I had a baby. I swear on everything I love this nigga trapped me.
I remember when I found out I thought I was gon be a single mom. But nope this nigga brought a whole house and basically told me I was moving to Atlanta so we could raise our son. Me being me I wasn't with the shits. Especially since I had my doubts bout Zach. Wasn't gon jump cause a nigga said to. My mom was all for it especially since Dior was starting college out here in Atlanta. She didn't want her out here by herself but I did not give one fuck.
I did not no shit about being a mom. So we came up to an agreement, when Essex turned 1 then we would officially move to Atlanta. Now my baby going on two and although Atlanta has been good to us there's something in my gut telling me I won't be here for long.
Watching Zach and Essex walk into the bathroom I started making the bed. Grabbing Zach's phone out the way it lit up in my hands with a message.
Brandi 𤬠You let that bitch keep hers. So I'm keeping mine this time congratulations we 4lifers ! 𥳠ð
Reading the message my heart broke. Placing the phone down I didn't know how to feel. Tucking the ends of the comforter I sat on the bed collecting my thoughts.
Lord knows if he wasn't in the bathroom with Essex's I would have went in there and confronted him about this shit. I wasn't one to sit on something. But I wasn't about to let my son see a side of the both of us he's never seen before.
Tilting my head up I quickly made the sign of the cross across my chest "Lord help this man." I said out loud.
"You in here praying?" I heard causing me to look up and see him holding Essex who was rapped in a towel.
"Cold." Essex mumbled. "I'm going to my hair appointment he's with you today." I said getting up not saying anything else to him as he sucked his teeth.
I didn't care if we agreed on Essex being with me today. He didn't really have shit to do so he could watch his fucking son. Clearly I been giving him to much free time anyways.

"When I tell ya he's lucky Essex was in the house!" I shouted while taken another shot. I had just finished getting my hair done by Tae and me him, Skai and Simone were now at Copper Cove for lunch and drinks.
"I don't even know why you going through his phone." Simone spoke causing me to look at her. I've come to learn how to love this girl but I swear it was just certain shit she did and say that pissed me off.
"What part of it was in my hand and the message popped up you ain't understand?" I asked as she just looked at me. If that phone ain't go off I would have never read that message. I've never gone through no niggas phone because my mama always said you gon find some shit in there you ain't gonna like. So to save my ass I never went through no nigga I've dealt with phone. And Zach never gave me any reason to think he was fucking with other bitches.
From jump he was real with me. I knew he still dealt with bitches in the beginning but I guess it's my fault for thinking cause I had a baby with him three years ago he would stop fucking other bitches and I would be the only girl. Silly fucking me.
"So what you going to do?" Skai asked.
"Ya want to go out tonight?" I asked ignoring her question. I had already told these bitches too much of my business and they were pissing me off asking all these questions. I didn't know how I wanted to deal with the situation but I was in the mood to shake some ass now.

"Yeaaa she showing the fuck out." I heard as I bent over twerking throwing my ass in a circle.
"Um baby daddy alert." Dior said holding her phone up showing me that Zach was now calling her. Rolling my eyes I pressed the red decline button on her phone. He was really pissing me the fuck off.
"I don't know why he harassing me. Don't nobody be blowing his phone up." I said sitting down. Whenever he was out I let him do him. I didn't see the point of calling and texting a nigga. If he was gon come home he will come home. Wasn't about to loose sleep and stress over no nigga.
"Nah we gotta do this again! I miss you like this!" Skai slurred as I nodded my head.
This was the first time I had been out since I had Essex. If my baby wasn't allowed then I wasn't going. And especially living in a whole different state I ain't trust too many people with my baby. If it wasn't me, Zach my mom, or dad then I wasn't leaving my baby with you.
Deciding to call Zach back I placed the phone to my ear. "Yes Booby?" I said calling him by his nickname.
"Booby? YO WHERE THE FUCK YOU AT? Stop playing with me." He yelled causing me to laugh.
"I'll be home soon give papa bear a kiss for me." I said hanging up not letting him say anything. I ain't care how mad he was. That nigga was gon be livid when I press him bout that whole fucking baby bullshit.
