-- Amriel
(Five Months Later; July 21,2013)
"D-d-" Ivory stuttered as she studied Chris's face. She's been trying hard to say 'Da'. Being five months, she's an happy and loud baby as in talking gibberish. She loves being around Laden, always throwing things his way and if he throws it back she'll giggle. Laden has taken a liking as being a big brother, he's already protective of her too. Some nights we'll let him feed her or rock her to sleep.
"Mommy can i have some juice?" Laden asked, He gotten taller and now he comes to my waist. He just turned five two months ago, in May as the same for me who turned twenty one and Chris who turned twenty three.
Tearing my eyes from Chris who was smiling like an idiot at Ivory cooing the word 'Dada' at her so she could get it right i grabbed a caparison out of the refrigerator and handed to Laden who thanked me and ran upstairs to his room. Most likely to play the xbox Chris recently brought him.
In the first month of bringing Ivory home, it took time and i mean alot of time to get it through Chris skull that he'll have to give Ivory and Laden both equal attention. He became better at it. Before Ivory was born i told Chris about the late night, waking,crying,changing diapers and etc but i guess he never thought i was being serious and when she was here he looked like he wanted to pull whatever hair he had. As for Laden every since he turned five, he claimed he was a 'big boy' so i couldn't cradle him in my arms anymore which downed on me that my baby was growing up.
"Ivory what are you doin- ow!" Chris voice stiffed, "Shit, princess you can't hurt daddy." he muttered then Ivory giggled. She's already causing Chris pain.
Walking into the living room where they were at, i began picking up toys and putting them up when a hand stopped me. "i can clean babe," Chris said with a smile. I looked back to see Ivory back in her swing trying to reach for the toys hanging above her head. She such a cutie.
"You Sure?" I questioned, he nodded before kissing my lips. Putting the last toy i had in my hand into a toy chest, i went upstairs and started on taking a well needed shower.

When i got out the shower and got dressed, Chris was still cleaning and now dancing with it, while Ivory tried to stay awake and laugh at her father. Rubbing her eyes, her head jerk to the side. Pressing my lips in my firm line, i picked her up. She wrapped her arms around my neck then laid her head on my chest.
"You sleepy Mami?" I whispered, she closed her eyes as i rubbed her back. Looking back at Chris who's literally into dancing and cleaning with the vacuum.
"Your Daddy Crazy." i mutter taking her to her room and laying her in her crib. Making sure to turn on her baby monitor i walked out and pushed her bedroom door closed. When i was about to go into the direction of Laden's bedroom, i ran into something-somebody, Chris' chest.
When i looked up at him he had a smirk on his face, raising an confused eyebrow at him, he shrugged before moving out my way. When i made to the door, Chris was right behind me, nearly breathing down my neck. "Sir,back up." I laughed, he kissed my neck and held my waist tightly.
"I'll push forward," he mutter, i felt something hard in my back. "Ooh.." i mumbled in embarrassment. Not wanting this to escalate any further in front of an five year old door which was half way cracked.
I turned around and pecked his lips. "I'll handle you tonight. I have to go get Ivory some formula before she runs out."
"You not gon play me like you did the other night is you?" he asked with a raised eyebrow. I wanted to laugh but i feel bad kinda. I told him earlier this week i was going to let him get 'some' one night when he got home from the studio but i ended up bringing the kids in our room and we watched movies--we'll the movie watched me and Ivory, Laden was all into it. When Chris got home, he was eagered, When Laden saw him he told him to shush and Chris glared at me the whole night.
"Of course i wont baby. it'll be just me,you.." i ran my finger down his chest down to his area, he was wearing sweats so i could feel the lining easily. "And a non-latex condom on this." I winked.
he smacked his lips. "I wanna feel all of you though" he muttered.
"It's either some of me or none of me because this body, is finally back and staying for another couple years." i said. He complains every time because i don't let him go in raw, going in raw with birth control never helped.
Laden and Ivory are here to prove that.
The last three months me and Chris had sex, with a condom and im not pregnant.
All i can say he has some fast swimmers so....
"Fine." he said pecking my lips then walking away. I laughed a little. He was walking to the bathroom.
When i walked into Laden's room, for the first time, he wasn't playing the game. He was sitting on the floor drawing. He took his artistic ways from Chris, I wasn't the best drawer and still not, my creativity is in writing.
"Whatcha drawing Bubba?" I asked, he looked up at me then looked back down at the picture.
"Something for Ivory. Is she up?" he asked. It made me smile how he always asking for her. He needs to realize she's only five months and he's five years old.
"She's sleeping. How about this. When she wakes up, we'll let her see it, then we'll put it on the refrigerator. Deal?"
"Deal." he giggled giving me a high five, i smiled before leaving a sloppy kiss on his forehead which made him scream in horror.
"Boy, you better love my kisses." i said leaving out his room. When i went into the master bedroom, i grabbed my shoes and a pullover Nike sweatshirt.
"Where you going?" a voice behind me asked, i looked over my shoulder to see Chris, shirtless with a towel wrapped around his waist.
"If you listen to be nearly ten minutes ago, i said I'm going to get some formula, i might stop by Joy's to see Myles." I answered, pulling my hair up in a pony tail.
"Oh.."
"Why, you going somewhere?"
"The studio, but i'll see if my moms would watch them." i nodded as he turned around and grabbed a shirt out of the draw, sneaking up behind him, i snatch his towel off his waist then smacked his ass hard.
"Amriel imma fuck you up." he gritted out loudly from the bedroom, i was now in the hall about to run down the steps. laughing my ass off, i went ahead and left.

"Formula...Formula..." i muttered, before i came across it, picking it up. i looked at the box and at the price.
"30.00 for this?" i muttered, shrugging i kept walking when my phone buzzed.
Joy : Myles Misses his auntie Amri. Get yo ass over here.
I laughed a little as i held the box under my arm and replied.
Me: I'll be there in a minute, women don't rush me.
When i pressed send, i ran into a body. I swear I'm just bumping into folks today..
"I'm sorry miss- Amirel?" I looked up to see Don.. Uncle Don. He looked way older since the last time i seen him when i was thirteen, he had to be in his early forties now, i cringed to myself imaging if my dad didn't say i wasn't able to have kids then.
