[annoyedkayah2395]

Melanii: thank you for telling me.

KJ: Ma! You hear that?

Ray chuckled: Yall are welcome.

Kai moved closer to his mother: Yes ma'am

Nana Jones: We can have 5 more minutes together.

Harmony shushed her friend whispering: Yes and the pics are safe

Grandpa Jones: You not lying to me diamond?

Ardian chuckled: My bad Junie

Rezar: That's the mean twin one? @thatssonanii

[thatssonanii]

Bree nodded: No problem. I do what I can.

Tia chuckled: I heard it, KJ. What do you want me to do?

Kia popped him: I know you didn't bring a girl in here, give her food and not introduce her. Too busy smiling at her

Carlito smiled: I'd like that, Nana. I like having you to myself

JuJu squealed softly then whispered: Lemme see, lemme see. Did you tell your auntie or no?

Haleigh shook her head: Not really, no. I'll be alright

Roman chuckled: Technically Melly is the meanest one of the triplets. But out of the boys, Mikey is the meanest.

[annoyedkayah2395]

As promised Kai grabbed Bree hand and started dancing with her speaking softly to her: You good?

Hazel chuckled watching her daughter: oh that's who her dance partner is

Ray chuckled: Better be lucky the day over for us.

Nana Jones glanced at Lito then looked at Tilda

Ardian tapped his wife: aight mamas you can't tell me no

[thatssonanii]

Bree nodded dancing with him: Yeah, I'm okay. Trying to be cordial with her.

Apryl nodded: Yup that's Kai. He's the level headed cousin.

Tyrell: You good, big bro?

Grandma Jones spoke softly: I'm listening

Haleigh laughed: Hmmm I can't?

Melanii: Wanna dance, Lito?

[annoyedkayah2395]

Kai: And how is that going?

Hazel: Oh he's the one that make sure everything stays smooth?

Ray looked at his fathers picture and nodded: Yeah man. You?

Mir went to grab his camera to take pictures

Kia rubbed her temples: so not only is he happy feet but he got a girlfriend.

Nana Jones spoke softly: we gonna have to be patient with my baby.

Ardian grinned: Nope

Carlito shook his head: Nah we can just sit and talk.

[thatssonanii]

Bree shrugged: She only wanted to ask me about Nonna and she gave me a compliment. Other than that, she really didn't wanna talk to me. Which i figured

Apryl nodded: Yup, that's him. He's the daddy-cousin.

Tyrell shrugged: I always am. Ain't I l?

Junie helped his brother.

Kalina laughed: He's checking on Bree. And you know we have handsome sons, it was bound to happen

Grandma Jones: Yes, we are. You're right. He's young

Haleigh: Well let's go, Mr. Bekim.

Melanii nodded: Okay. What do you wanna talk about?

[annoyedkayah2395]

Kai mumbled: why she asking bout Auntie?

Hazel laughed: Poor baby I know he stay stressed

Kia stared at her: Who's side you on?

Ray pulled him outside: Talk to me and don't lie to me. What's wrong?

Nana jones: but how do we feel about his girlfriend?

Ardian: I'm sending you away for a week

Carlito: Did you have fun? Did you like the food?

[thatssonanii]

Bree: She can tell that Nonna doesn't like her or thinks she doesn't. Which ... is probably not entirely false.

Apryl laughed: Oooh always. But they listen to him. It's cute.

Kalina laughed and hugged her side: I'm on your but I'm just saying.

Tyrell shook his head: Nothing, I'm good. Just thinking about speedy, bope i gave him advice that pop would've. It's hard without him.

Grandma Jones: She's a nice girl. I think that jealousy brings out the ugliness that was already inside of us.

Haleigh frowned: Uhn uhn. A week? Ardi, no.

Melanii: The good was great like usual. I had fun, it was cool. You wanna come over when you're done here?

[annoyedkayah2395]

Kai snorted: Auntie just protective...

Kia pinched her: he's not my baby anymore

Nana Jones: a learning experience but our baby got it

Ray nodded: Yeah speedy don't look at this holiday the same. Shit we don't either. What you tell him?

Ardian grinned: Nah mamas.. you gonna go. I want you to not be in mommy mode.

Carlito: Nah.. I wanna hang with the old man and my siblings today. See how talented Mir is with the camera?

[thatssonanii]

Bree: Yeah, she is. But i also know she don't like mess. Anyway ... when after you gonna go out with Faidra?

Kalina hissed and laughed: Stop pinching me. No you mean he's not a baby anymore but he'll always be your baby.

Grandma Jones: Yes he does. He's smart. Same way Ardian figured it out, he will.

Tyrell shook his head: No. That not what I meant. I'm talking about the advice I gave him about Lito.

Haleigh shook her head: No, Ardi. I can't leave yall for a week. Could you imagine you with the five of them for seven days? No. I thought you were talking about something else not sending me away.

Melanii nodded: Okay. Yeah, he's very talented.

[annoyedkayah2395]

Kai: man.... don't you start Bree.

Hazel: Wait.. if Kai is the level headed one who's the trouble maker?

Junie put a piece of paper in front of tasha: That's going on your menu. You're welcome.

Nana Jones nodded: I hope so Tilda. Think uh... Re..

Ray rubbed his face: Aiden been discussing it.. what the fuck been happening?

Tasha stared at Junie then the paper

Ardian: I want you to. I don't want you burning yourself out or anything. I want you take this break please.

Carlito: Come on gotta show you my grandpas.

[thatssonanii]

Bree laughed: I'm just asking. She's pretty and you clearly like her.

Apryl snorted: Pick one. Aiden, Lil Nico and Malik.

Amir took a picture them smiled: Please, Nonna

Grandma Jones nodded giving her time to finish.

Tyrell: Basically Melanii don't want Lito around Bree. Told him that she couldn't ride with them in his car to whatever party. He spent that whole party not talking to none of them.

Kandice laughed: Say yes, Tasha

Haleigh: Baby ... I'm okay. I'm gonna miss yall too bad

[annoyedkayah2395]

Kai: When the time is right. Speaking of why you don't have anybody special?

Tasha: Get out my face.

Hazel laughed: Malik is his little brother right?

Ray rubbed his face: But she ain't buy that. Fuck

Nana Jones: Re... rezar.. think he take us home?

Junie grinned: That means yes. Come on Mir.

Ardian: We got FaceTime. Please mamas. I want you out of mommy and wife mode

[thatssonanii]

Bree frowned a little and laughed: For what? I don't need to have somebody. Especially not if they think they're gonna trip about me being friends with Lito and yall. Stress i don't need, I'm too young for that.

Amir giggled and hugged her then went back to taking pictures.

Kandice laughed: They don't care nothing about you being mean

Apryl nodded: Yeah that's his little brother. He love admitting Kai too but don't let nobody bother him.

Tyrell: Right but the issue is she think she can control what he doing tryna keep him to herself cause she scared Bree gon take em. Apparently the boys say stuff where she can hear.

Grandma Jones nodded then called Rezar over: I'm getting pretty tired. Do you mind taking us off, son?

Haleigh's eyes watered: You don't want me home? You hate me?

[annoyedkayah2395]

While Haleigh was away Ardian was bonding with the kids by teaching them different recipes. Ardian: I can't do the coco bread like your Nonna, auntie grandma, and nana but I'm trying. We can make some sandwiches with it

Harmony giggled: you did good daddy

[thatssonanii]

Carlito grinned: You did what you could, old man.

Junie giggled: We gotta taste it first. It might be nasty.

Cali reached trying to get it

[annoyedkayah2395]

Ardian laughed breaking small pieces off for them to try: next time I'll have your Nonna do the recipe. I got your old man.

Mir ate it and smiled: I like it

Harmony ate hers: That's not bad daddy

[thatssonanii]

Junie: Its not Nonna's but I like it, Daddy

Cali smacked on it and reached again.

Carlito laughed: My bad. It's good though, I like it. Cali, you gotta finish that piece first.

[annoyedkayah2395]

Mir giggled: Can't be greedy Cali. Chew that first

Harmony helped Cali

Ardian laughed: Thank yall. We make some sandwiches. Yall get your chips and juice we can have a movie date

[thatssonanii]

Cali babbled excitedlyas she ate.

Junie giggled: We be back, Daddy.

Carlito: Nugget, grab Bubbles so she don't fall. Dad, did you make something for Cali to eat?

[annoyedkayah2395]

Harmony nodded grabbing Cali: We be back.

Ardian nodded: I heated her up some of the rice and peas and shredded up some chicken

[thatssonanii]

Carlito: You gotta blend it, Dad. She's gonna choke on the shredded chicken. We'll be back.

Grandpa Jones bumped him once the kids were gone: He sounds like the dad, not you.

[annoyedkayah2395]

Ardian smiled going to blend Cali food: Yeah he do. You know Pigtails is my brains when it comes to the kids. But she needed the break.

[thatssonanii]

Grandpa Jones chuckled: She is and she did. Where'd she go?

[annoyedkayah2395]

Ardian: a 7 day cruise. Got the spa treatment and all that good stuff I know she needed. She didn't want to go but she had to.

[thatssonanii]

Grandpa Jones whistled and laughed: She is gonna get you when she gets back. You know how hard it is to make a call from a cruise ship? Well deserved though. You sent her alone?

[annoyedkayah2395]

Ardian laughed: I know but I want her to unwind and not think bout what could be going wrong here. Nah I sent her with the in laws, nicey, and Morgan. Try the bread grandpa

[thatssonanii]

Grandpa Jones laughed and tried it: Pretty good, I think your missing something. The secret ingredient. Well you know she's gonna think about that but hopefully not as much. She doesn't trust you not to be one of her kids which is fair

[annoyedkayah2395]

Ardian: What's the secret ingredient? Fussing? I know she thinks I'm go out and buy a dinosaur

[thatssonanii]

Grandpa Jones chuckled: Good guess. Sprinkle of nutmeg. Yes she does but you know better. Don't you?

[annoyedkayah2395]

Ardian pouted: Yes sir I do.

[thatssonanii]

Grandpa Jones: Good. Good thing is the kids are old enough to be self sufficient except Cali. However they are big enough to tell on you.

[annoyedkayah2395]

Ardian: They tell on me but they want me keep they bad deeds to myself.

[thatssonanii]

Grandpa Jones laughed: Life of a father. You and Cali doing okay?

[annoyedkayah2395]

Ardian nodded: Yeah I think we are. She smiles at me and talks to me. Especially when her big brothers or nugget do something for her

[thatssonanii]

Grandpa Jones: Good, enjoy it. Your crew is coming back, I'll check on you later.

[annoyedkayah2395]

Ardian smiled taking the sandwich meat out the refrigerator then checked his phone checking the reviews for Tasha restaurant

Mir giggled: We back! I got you a soda and chips for your sandwich daddy.

[thatssonanii]

Carlito peeked over his shoulder: What you doing, old man?

Junie: And we got Cali pudding.

Harmony adjusted Cali in her hip: You make her food?

[annoyedkayah2395]

Ardian smiled: Thank yall and yes I did. Checking your Nonna reviews. So far so good. One night we can have dinner there

Mir grinned: That's our Nonna!

Cali babbled loudly

[thatssonanii]

Carlito grinned: I'm proud of Nonna. We can do that. Umm Dad, the cousins wanna go to a pool party tonight. Can I?

Junie: Nonna do good because I helped her pick dishes!

Harmony: Say yaaaay, Bubbles. Your girlfriend going too so yall can be in the corner together?

Harmony and the twins made kissing noises.

[annoyedkayah2395]

Ardian became sad but shook it off: Who all gonna be there and do the parents know? And do Melanii parents know?

Cali giggled

[thatssonanii]

Carlito watched his dad: I won't go if you don't want me too. You don't look like you want me to go. They'll be alright without me tonight. Besides my cousins I don't know. Lanii wasnt going. Ima stay here though, don't worry about it.

[annoyedkayah2395]

Ardian frowned a little: Nah I want you go but i also don't want you getting into trouble. People you don't know? Parents aren't there?

Harmony stared: Wait... how daddy know that

[thatssonanii]

Carlito: You looked sad like you don't want me to go. I'll stay home. Parents not there. We ain't gon get in no trouble, we always good. I'm sure it'll be people there we know.

Junie shrugged: He like Mommy and know everything i guess.

[annoyedkayah2395]

Ardian: You can go Lil Man. Go have fun

Mir was fixing his sandwich

[thatssonanii]

Carlito stepped outside the kitchen with his dad: I'm still gonna eat dinner and watch a movie with y'all. Is that why you looked sad? Cause you thought i wasn't gonna spend time with y'all? Or you just ain't want me to go at all? Be honest with me, Dad.

Junie fixed his sandwich: Chicken nugget, do you go to parties?

[annoyedkayah2395]

Ardian shook his head: Nah just the dad blues that's all. I promise I'm good. Go to the party Lil Man... I'm not liking the whole parents not being there but I trust you and your cousins to leave when shit goes left

Harmony shook her head: No. Do the twins go to parties

Mir giggled: Junie don't like people

[thatssonanii]

Carlito was still unsure but nodded, smiling a bit: Okay, Dad. Parents are never at the parties we go to.

Junie shook her head: We been to birthday parties and stuff. But that's it. You don't like parties or mommy tell you no?

Cali grabbed a piece of turkey trying to stuff it in her mouth.

[annoyedkayah2395]

Ardian smiled grabbing one of his cards: curfew is 12 but in case yall leave early. Yall can get some snacks or something. Anything happens call. Aight?

Mir grabbed the turkey quickly breaking it up: Bubbles you can't do that. You can choke.

Harmony smiled: Good job Mir. Mommy tells me no but it's okay I like hanging with ny little brothers and my best friend Juju.

[thatssonanii]

Carlito took it smiling: Bet, thanks. But can I get a extra hour? We gon go to Waffle House after and I still gotta drop KJ and em back off.

Junie; Good job, Mir. You a good big brother like Lito and Daddy. We like hanging with you too, chicken nugget.

Cali frowned but ate anyway

[annoyedkayah2395]

Ardian nodded: No later than 1:30

Mir grinned: Thank you Junie. Good job Cali

Harmony kissed his head: Thank you

[thatssonanii]

Carlito grinned and hugged him to thank him then went back to the kitchen: Uh oh, Cali what you eating?

Junie giggled: She grabbed the turkey but Mir made sure she didn't choke.

Cali babbled excitedly to Carlito then snatched a pickle to suck on. Her face scrunched at the sourness

[annoyedkayah2395]

Ardian laughed: Good job Mir. It's sour Bubbles?

Harmony giggled: Why you snatch the pickle bubbles?

Mir giggled: Thank you

[thatssonanii]

Carlito laughed watching her: It's sour but she not letting go. Take a video and send it to twin, dad.

Junie giggled: She greedy like Daddy

Cali giggled but kept the pickle in her mouth.

[annoyedkayah2395]

Ardian recorded his kids sending it to his wife: sandwiches made?

Mir kissed Cali cheek: it's okay to be greedy. Yes sir mine is made

Harmony laughed: Kinda like when I had a lemon for the first time. Yes mine is made and we chose sharktale

[thatssonanii]

Carlito: I'm almost done. Yall go head and get started. Exactly like that, Nugget. Your face was tore up but you kept going.

Junie: Yes sir, it's made. You right, Mir. We all get that from Daddy. Chicken Nugget ate lemons?

Cali threw the pickle down then reached for Harmony sandwhich.

[annoyedkayah2395]

Ardian rubbed his head picking the pickle up: Bubbles no.

Mir: Can't be doing that bubbles

Harmony giggled: Yes I did and bubbles we don't do that

[thatssonanii]

Cali poked her lip out and cried.

Carlito picked her up and rocked her: Its alright, Cali. I know you hungry but that's not yours. Dad, got you some food. And you can have the pickle.

Junie: Bubbles probably hungry. I think it's been a long time since she ate, Daddy.

[annoyedkayah2395]

Ardian took them to their little movie theater making sure they were set up putting Sharktale on: come on Cali so daddy can feed you

Mir wiggled: I think daddy should do a little upgrade on the movie theater

[thatssonanii]

Cali reached for him giggling.

Junie: Me too! It's time

Carlito smiled: Yeah, what kinda upgrade you thinking, Mir?

[annoyedkayah2395]

Mir smiled: I think we should repaint it. Get another TV. Hang posters up. Pictures. And vending machines

Ardian chuckled grabbing Cali so he could feed her listening

Harmony: Ooooh cause we do need to hang some of Mir pictures up

[thatssonanii]

Junie: Yeah mir got nice pictures! And we can put up mommy favorite picture of her and daddy.

Carlito chewed his food up: So vending machines along with the lil concession area? We charging the cousins.

Cali bounced excitedly trying to get to the spoon

[annoyedkayah2395]

Mir smiled: Thank you. Yeah and we get to switch the snacks out and do different ones. And Lito can draw something cause he a good drawer and Junie can make us a Playlist

Harmony: I like those ideas.

Ardian smiled feeding Cali: Good bubbles?

[thatssonanii]

Junie: I like that, Mir. You have good ideas like Mommy.

Carlito: You really want me to draw something?

Cali wiggled and smacked on her food.

[annoyedkayah2395]

Mir grinned: Thank you Junie. Yeah I do Lito

Harmony: And we gotta hang mommy poster up

Ardian smiled: Taste good?

[thatssonanii]

Junie: You welcome. And yours too, chicken nugget, from the tour!

Carlito smiled: I got you, Mir. Ima do it that.

Cali giggled and leaned against him

[annoyedkayah2395]

Once Lito left Ardian made sure the twins and Harmony took their showers then went to clean up calling his wife

[thatssonanii]

Haleigh answered sitting up against her headboard: My big baby! Hiiii

Carlito pulled up to his grandparents house and texted his cousins to let them know he was outside

[annoyedkayah2395]

Ardian grinned: Pigtails! Hiiiiii mamas. How are you?

KJ ran out jumping in the front seat: what up menace!

[thatssonanii]

Haleigh grinned: I miss my babies but I'm good. I'm having fun. How are you? Are you getting beat up?

Jah and Dash hopped in the backseat.

Jah squeezed Carlito shoulder: What's up, big cuz?

[annoyedkayah2395]

Ardian smiled: Good exactly what I wanted. I'm good. Yeah I am but it's worth it. The bekim babies want to upgrade the movie theater

Dash: This car nice. Auntie or Unc's?

Carlito laughed: this mine

[thatssonanii]

Haleigh laughed softly: Of course they do. And we're going to do, aren't we? Is Cali okay?

KJ looked around: So this the car Melanii thought she could control? I mean shit nice as hell but cant let her do that.

Jah: This roomy as hell too. What you be doing in this backseat, menace? You cleaned it?

[annoyedkayah2395]

Ardian: Yeah we are. Paint job and everything. Vending machines as well. Yeah bubbles good. She tried a pickle then tried to take nugget sandwich

Dash hit KJ shaking his head

Carlito chuckled: My little brothers and sisters be back there with their snacks. Yes I cleaned it. She don't think she can control it

[thatssonanii]

Haleigh laughed I love that they wanna do that. How did she like the pickle? Nooo she tried to take gremlin sandwich. My baby was hungry.

KJ laughed and put the addressin the gps: Man, I'm just saying. Let's go, menace. I told Aiden we was gonna beat em there.

Jah laughed: Suuuure and it only be my siblings in my backseat too.

[annoyedkayah2395]

Ardian made Cali exact face: But she didn't let the pickle go. Did you get the video I sent?

Carlito laughed driving them to the house: My dad gave me a extra hour so no later than 1:30.

[thatssonanii]

Haleigh laughed: I can't with her. I did but I called my big baby first before I looked. Where my other babies?

KJ nodded: We can leave about 12:30. Aye there go the rest of em ... we beat em!

[annoyedkayah2395]

Ardian grinned: I'm your big baby! Me! Lito went to a pool party one of his cousins met a girl. The other three taking showers.

Carlito laughed stepping out: here we go

Aiden: Aye yall cheated!

[thatssonanii]

Haleigh smiled: Yeah m Yes, you're my big baby. Let me guess, Jah or KJ. You forgot one. Where's my mini me?

KJ laughed: Nah, my boy. You just drive like a granny. You beat Rik though.

Dash slapped hands with Aiden: What's up, cuzzo?

[annoyedkayah2395]

Ardian grabbed Cali showing her to his wife: say hey mommy

Aiden laughed: Nah I don't. Not trying get my ass beat. Nothing much ready for this pool party. Pretty princess joining us

Carlito mumbled: Don't start

[thatssonanii]

Cali giggled and babbled excitedly.

Haleigh smiled: There's mommy's mini me! Hiii my little baby. She look like she ready to go to sleep, y'all wore my baby out.

KJ glanced at Carlito then shook his head: Nah. He ain't wanna get in trouble so just us.

Malik snorted: But we wanted her here though. She fun and she let me say stuff that Kai don't.

Rik stared then wiped a hand over his face: Let's go inside. Don't none of y'all get us in trouble.... Malik, Lil Nico, Menace, KJ and Jah.

[annoyedkayah2395]

Ardian laughed: Yeah she been playing and eating and bullying me. Look just like you, Pigtails

Kai hit his brother; They not Rik.

Lil Nico grinned: No promises

Carlito mumbled

[thatssonanii]

Cali babbled to Haleigh and hit Ardian.

Haleigh laughed: Daddy did all that? You had to hit him? Yeah she does, my mini. Have you been sleeping and not drinking energy drinks?

Malik flinched: Aye, see? This is what I was talking about.

AJ hit his cousin: Auntie Ky said to behave.

KJ walked them into the backyard gate and looked around grinning: Damn, it's a ass of people. Lemme find shawty before she lose her spot.

[annoyedkayah2395]

Ardian made biting noises at Cali: I've been sleeping. I've had one ghost. Just one mamas.

Lil Nico scrunched his face: Long as she not bossy

Aiden laughed: It's some cute girls in here but Kai, Lito and Rik spoken for

[thatssonanii]

Cali hit him again and babbled at him.

Haleigh laughed: She gonna get you. Don't have anymore, Ardi. No more. What did yall have for dinner?

KJ frowned: Hell nah. My mama would beat my ass if I let her do that. Besides I'm only here for a few weeks, I'm just having fun. Found her, I'll be back.

Malik: Right so yall go find yall something safe to do. We gotta go look around.

Jah grinned: We gotta go see what we see.

[annoyedkayah2395]

Ardian bit Cali hands playfully: I got you mamas. I made homemade coco bread and we made sandwiches.

The cousins were walking around

Carlito: I'm buying waffle house for us when we leave

Kai nodded: Preciate that Cuz

[thatssonanii]

Cali growled at Ardian

Haleigh laughed: Alright, leave my little baby alone. Sounds good, I'm jealous though. You never made coco bread for me, Ardi.

Lil Nico grinned: That mean i get to keep my money. Good lookin out, menace.

Malik squinted then laughed and hit Aiden and AJ's arms. He spoke lowly: Aye ... ain't that Bree in that girl lap?

[annoyedkayah2395]

Ardian growled back smiling: When you come back I'll make it for you. Be our date night

Aiden looked then grinned: Well I be damned. Let's go say hi. Pretty princess, Bree is here

Carlito laughed: Yeah whatever. She is? She usually come says hi

Kai shook his head knowing: The three stooges

[thatssonanii]

Cali giggled and laid her head on his shoulder.

Haleigh: Deal. My baby sleepy, lay her down. Has she been sleeping in her crib?

Malik walked over with them and tapped Bree on the shoulder grinning: What's up, Bree?

Lil Nico grinned: You replacing us?

Bree laughed and got up: Of course yall would find me. No I'm not replacing yall. Hey pretty princess.

[annoyedkayah2395]

Ardian laid Cali down making sure she was comfortable: Yeah she has. So tell me what you been doing mamas?

Kai looked between Skyee and Bree nodding slowly: Aiden, Lil Nico, and Malik keep it cute and I mean it.

Aiden grinned at Skyee: What's up? What's your name and how you know Bree?

Carlito smiled going to hug her: Why you didn't tell me you was coming ? Who you with?

[thatssonanii]

Haleigh watched him and pouted: I miss my little baby. Umm we had port day today so we went snorkeling, did some shopping, took pictures. Uuh on the ship I've gone to the spa, the comedy show, we ate a bunch and had drinks.

Skye laughed as she got up and waved: Hey. I'm Skye. Me and her met at the mall not too long ago.

Malik sucked his teeth: I do what I want. Anyway, I'm Malik. Bree's favorite.

Bree hugged him and laughed: Aiden's my favorite, you're second cause you didn't share with me, Malik. I'm with Skye. Her friend is throwing the party and she wanted me to come with her. Where's your other half, pretty princess?

[annoyedkayah2395]

Ardian removed his shirt getting comfortable: Yeah? Good. I'm glad you had an eventful day. She miss you too but mommy needed this break.

Aiden: I'm Aiden. The mall huh? Yall was looking very comfortable.

Rik: I'm Rik and I have a twin name Nika. Nice to meet you

Kai hit his brother: I'm Kai. Nice to meet you.

AJ smirked: I'm AJ and this my cousin Jayceon but we call him Lil Nico. Nice to meet you

Carlito: KJ said don't bring her. Hi Skyee, I'm lito.

[thatssonanii]

Haleigh raised a brow: Yes, I did. I miss seeing that every day. What have you been doing?

Malik sucked his teeth and laughed: Don't be hitting on me, ignore Kai, he boring. Man, that was one time. Real comfortable. I like ya hair.

Lil Nico grinned looking between them then frowned: Stop telling people my name Jayceon. Anyway, we interrupt something?

Skye laughed: Thank you. Nice to meet yall. Bree told me all about yall. Especially you, Lito. I need to go check on my friend real quick. I'll be back, beautiful.

Skye squeezed Bree's side and kissed her cheek.

Bree blushed a little asks smiled: Okay, I'll probably be with them. But text if you can't find me. Yall are fine, you didn't interrupt nothing, we were just talking. Oooh since when you listen to KJ, princess?

[annoyedkayah2395]

Ardian flexed: Working out. Making sure the bekim kids behave. I got a little zoom call with Nas one day this week. I'm nervous

Aiden grinned at Bree: You like her?

Carlito watched the interaction: I feel like you didn't tell me something Bree

AJ: That she could've been liking melanii instead of you.

Kai rubbed his temples: This is why I'm the manager. Bree we like skyee. Long as she treat you right.

[thatssonanii]

Haleigh got distracted for a second: It shows. Don't be nervous. You rapping again?

Bree laughed: Maybe a little, Aiden. Thank you, Kai. We're just talking right now. I honestly hadn't told anybody yet, Lito. I didn't know how but since yall are here and saw me. I'm bi. Is that a problem?

Malik smiled: Nah ain't no problem with me. That's crazy, Melanii worried about Bree taking you when you should've been worried about Bree taking her.

Lil Nico laughed: You saw that blush, Kai. Skye definitely treating her right. You got good taste, Bree. She's pretty. But wait ... are yall like both fems? Or like one of y'all a stud and the other a fem? Or yall both studs?

[annoyedkayah2395]

Ardian grinned: You like it? Yes I do. Been practicing a little.

Kai: Of course it isn't Bree. I hate agreeing with my brother but he got a point

Rik snorted: I hate agreeing with Malik too

Aiden laughed: shit ain't no issue with me.

Carlito smiled: Of course not. Long as you happy bree.

[thatssonanii]

Haleigh: You know I do, Ardi. All it took was a video call with him to get you to rap? If i would've known that, I would've made it happen sooner.

Bree covered her laugh: I mean we're both fems but she's a little masculine sometimes. I appreciate the support.

Skye called out to Bree, she promised to find them before she left then went to Skye.

Malik, Lil Nico and AJ turned to grin at Carlito.

Malik: That's crazy. You got your girl stolen by another girl. Damn

Haleigh laughed: Aht aht, you're still going too. Says the actor and model. No behind the scenes, you should be in front of the camera sometimes.

Malik laughed: You know we can't do that.

Lil Nico shrugged: He should've been like Uncle Lo. Clearly she would've been down for it.

Carlito sucked his teeth at his cousins: I never said I liked Bree in the first place to even do that. Yall think she really like girls or she just doing that?

Haleigh laughed: Thank you, gremlin. Get him, Mir. Your daddy said that? Ardian, you don't miss me?

Carlito: Aight, yall the ones keep asking me about it. I'm good too.

Carlito stared at them and cracked a smile: Only fiend is, I'm actually funny and yall ain't

Aiden snorted: Remember earlier when you asked if we thought she like girls forreal or just doing it? I think you got your answer, pretty princess.

Kendrick sniffed and cleared his throat: And ima always do it, I'll don't care if she hit me. I appreciate that.

Lil Mikey watched them.

Vonte: Awe man, almost made me cry.

Nylah passed Myles a napkin: Here you go, Daddy

[annoyedkayah2395]

Thank you for believing in me even when I was fucking up. Sorry OG. Every giggle, every tear, every hug, every nightmare was worth it and no matter what I got you until my last breath.

Kia popped him: I know you didn't bring a girl in here, give her food and not introduce her. Too busy smiling at her

Carlito smiled: I'd like that, Nana. I like having you to myself

JuJu squealed softly then whispered: Lemme see, lemme see. Did you tell your auntie or no?

Haleigh shook her head: Not really, no. I'll be alright

Roman chuckled: Technically Melly is the meanest one of the triplets. But out of the boys, Mikey is the meanest.

[annoyedkayah2395]

As promised Kai grabbed Bree hand and started dancing with her speaking softly to her: You good?

Hazel chuckled watching her daughter: oh that's who her dance partner is

Ray chuckled: Better be lucky the day over for us.

Nana Jones glanced at Lito then looked at Tilda

Kai mumbled: why she asking bout Auntie?

Hazel laughed: Poor baby I know he stay stressed

Kia stared at her: Who's side you on?

Ray pulled him outside: Talk to me and don't lie to me. What's wrong?

Nana jones: but how do we feel about his girlfriend?

Ardian: I'm sending you away for a week

Carlito: Did you have fun? Did you like the food?

[thatssonanii]

Bree: She can tell that Nonna doesn't like her or thinks she doesn't. Which ... is probably not entirely false.

Apryl laughed: Oooh always. But they listen to him. It's cute.

Kalina laughed and hugged her side: I'm on your but I'm just saying.

Tyrell shook his head: Nothing, I'm good. Just thinking about speedy, bope i gave him advice that pop would've. It's hard without him.

Grandma Jones: She's a nice girl. I think that jealousy brings out the ugliness that was already inside of us.

Haleigh frowned: Uhn uhn. A week? Ardi, no.

Melanii: The good was great like usual. I had fun, it was cool. You wanna come over when you're done here?

[annoyedkayah2395]

Kai snorted: Auntie just protective...

Kia pinched her: he's not my baby anymore

Nana Jones: a learning experience but our baby got it

Ray nodded: Yeah speedy don't look at this holiday the same. Shit we don't either. What you tell him?

Ardian grinned: Nah mamas.. you gonna go. I want you to not be in mommy mode.

Carlito: Nah.. I wanna hang with the old man and my siblings today. See how talented Mir is with the camera?

[thatssonanii]

Bree: Yeah, she is. But i also know she don't like mess. Anyway ... when after you gonna go out with Faidra?

Kalina hissed and laughed: Stop pinching me. No you mean he's not a baby anymore but he'll always be your baby.

Grandma Jones: Yes he does. He's smart. Same way Ardian figured it out, he will.

Tyrell shook his head: No. That not what I meant. I'm talking about the advice I gave him about Lito.

Haleigh shook her head: No, Ardi. I can't leave yall for a week. Could you imagine you with the five of them for seven days? No. I thought you were talking about something else not sending me away.

Melanii nodded: Okay. Yeah, he's very talented.

[annoyedkayah2395]

Kai: man.... don't you start Bree.

Hazel: Wait.. if Kai is the level headed one who's the trouble maker?

Junie put a piece of paper in front of tasha: That's going on your menu. You're welcome.

Nana Jones nodded: I hope so Tilda. Think uh... Re..

Ray rubbed his face: Aiden been discussing it.. what the fuck been happening?

Tasha stared at Junie then the paper

Ardian: I want you to. I don't want you burning yourself out or anything. I want you take this break please.

Carlito: Come on gotta show you my grandpas.

[thatssonanii]

Bree laughed: I'm just asking. She's pretty and you clearly like her.

Apryl snorted: Pick one. Aiden, Lil Nico and Malik.

Amir took a picture them smiled: Please, Nonna

Grandma Jones nodded giving her time to finish.

Tyrell: Basically Melanii don't want Lito around Bree. Told him that she couldn't ride with them in his car to whatever party. He spent that whole party not talking to none of them.

Kandice laughed: Say yes, Tasha

Haleigh: Baby ... I'm okay. I'm gonna miss yall too bad

[annoyedkayah2395]

Kai: When the time is right. Speaking of why you don't have anybody special?

Tasha: Get out my face.

Hazel laughed: Malik is his little brother right?

Ray rubbed his face: But she ain't buy that. Fuck

Nana Jones: Re... rezar.. think he take us home?

Junie grinned: That means yes. Come on Mir.

Ardian: We got FaceTime. Please mamas. I want you out of mommy and wife mode

[thatssonanii]

Bree frowned a little and laughed: For what? I don't need to have somebody. Especially not if they think they're gonna trip about me being friends with Lito and yall. Stress i don't need, I'm too young for that.

Amir giggled and hugged her then went back to taking pictures.

Kandice laughed: They don't care nothing about you being mean

Apryl nodded: Yeah that's his little brother. He love admitting Kai too but don't let nobody bother him.

Tyrell: Right but the issue is she think she can control what he doing tryna keep him to herself cause she scared Bree gon take em. Apparently the boys say stuff where she can hear.

Grandma Jones nodded then called Rezar over: I'm getting pretty tired. Do you mind taking us off, son?

Haleigh's eyes watered: You don't want me home? You hate me?

[annoyedkayah2395]

While Haleigh was away Ardian was bonding with the kids by teaching them different recipes. Ardian: I can't do the coco bread like your Nonna, auntie grandma, and nana but I'm trying. We can make some sandwiches with it

Harmony giggled: you did good daddy

[thatssonanii]

Carlito grinned: You did what you could, old man.

Junie giggled: We gotta taste it first. It might be nasty.

Cali reached trying to get it

[annoyedkayah2395]

Ardian laughed breaking small pieces off for them to try: next time I'll have your Nonna do the recipe. I got your old man.

Mir ate it and smiled: I like it

Harmony ate hers: That's not bad daddy

[thatssonanii]

Junie: Its not Nonna's but I like it, Daddy

Cali smacked on it and reached again.

Carlito laughed: My bad. It's good though, I like it. Cali, you gotta finish that piece first.

[annoyedkayah2395]

Mir giggled: Can't be greedy Cali. Chew that first

Harmony helped Cali

Ardian laughed: Thank yall. We make some sandwiches. Yall get your chips and juice we can have a movie date

[thatssonanii]

Cali babbled excitedlyas she ate.

Junie giggled: We be back, Daddy.

Carlito: Nugget, grab Bubbles so she don't fall. Dad, did you make something for Cali to eat?

[annoyedkayah2395]

Harmony nodded grabbing Cali: We be back.

Ardian nodded: I heated her up some of the rice and peas and shredded up some chicken

[thatssonanii]

Carlito: You gotta blend it, Dad. She's gonna choke on the shredded chicken. We'll be back.

Grandpa Jones bumped him once the kids were gone: He sounds like the dad, not you.

[annoyedkayah2395]

Ardian smiled going to blend Cali food: Yeah he do. You know Pigtails is my brains when it comes to the kids. But she needed the break.

[thatssonanii]

Grandpa Jones chuckled: She is and she did. Where'd she go?

[annoyedkayah2395]

Ardian: a 7 day cruise. Got the spa treatment and all that good stuff I know she needed. She didn't want to go but she had to.

[thatssonanii]

Grandpa Jones whistled and laughed: She is gonna get you when she gets back. You know how hard it is to make a call from a cruise ship? Well deserved though. You sent her alone?

[annoyedkayah2395]

Ardian laughed: I know but I want her to unwind and not think bout what could be going wrong here. Nah I sent her with the in laws, nicey, and Morgan. Try the bread grandpa

[thatssonanii]

Grandpa Jones laughed and tried it: Pretty good, I think your missing something. The secret ingredient. Well you know she's gonna think about that but hopefully not as much. She doesn't trust you not to be one of her kids which is fair

[annoyedkayah2395]

Ardian: What's the secret ingredient? Fussing? I know she thinks I'm go out and buy a dinosaur

[thatssonanii]

Grandpa Jones chuckled: Good guess. Sprinkle of nutmeg. Yes she does but you know better. Don't you?

[annoyedkayah2395]

Ardian pouted: Yes sir I do.

[thatssonanii]

Grandpa Jones: Good. Good thing is the kids are old enough to be self sufficient except Cali. However they are big enough to tell on you.

[annoyedkayah2395]

Ardian: They tell on me but they want me keep they bad deeds to myself.

[thatssonanii]

Grandpa Jones laughed: Life of a father. You and Cali doing okay?

[annoyedkayah2395]

Ardian nodded: Yeah I think we are. She smiles at me and talks to me. Especially when her big brothers or nugget do something for her

[thatssonanii]

Grandpa Jones: Good, enjoy it. Your crew is coming back, I'll check on you later.

[annoyedkayah2395]

Ardian smiled taking the sandwich meat out the refrigerator then checked his phone checking the reviews for Tasha restaurant

Mir giggled: We back! I got you a soda and chips for your sandwich daddy.

[thatssonanii]

Carlito peeked over his shoulder: What you doing, old man?

Junie: And we got Cali pudding.

Harmony adjusted Cali in her hip: You make her food?

[annoyedkayah2395]

Ardian smiled: Thank yall and yes I did. Checking your Nonna reviews. So far so good. One night we can have dinner there

Mir grinned: That's our Nonna!

Cali babbled loudly

[thatssonanii]

Carlito grinned: I'm proud of Nonna. We can do that. Umm Dad, the cousins wanna go to a pool party tonight. Can I?

Junie: Nonna do good because I helped her pick dishes!

Harmony: Say yaaaay, Bubbles. Your girlfriend going too so yall can be in the corner together?

Harmony and the twins made kissing noises.

[annoyedkayah2395]

Ardian became sad but shook it off: Who all gonna be there and do the parents know? And do Melanii parents know?

Cali giggled

[thatssonanii]

Carlito watched his dad: I won't go if you don't want me too. You don't look like you want me to go. They'll be alright without me tonight. Besides my cousins I don't know. Lanii wasnt going. Ima stay here though, don't worry about it.

[annoyedkayah2395]

Ardian frowned a little: Nah I want you go but i also don't want you getting into trouble. People you don't know? Parents aren't there?

Harmony stared: Wait... how daddy know that

[thatssonanii]

Carlito: You looked sad like you don't want me to go. I'll stay home. Parents not there. We ain't gon get in no trouble, we always good. I'm sure it'll be people there we know.

Junie shrugged: He like Mommy and know everything i guess.

[annoyedkayah2395]

Ardian: You can go Lil Man. Go have fun

Mir was fixing his sandwich

[thatssonanii]

Carlito stepped outside the kitchen with his dad: I'm still gonna eat dinner and watch a movie with y'all. Is that why you looked sad? Cause you thought i wasn't gonna spend time with y'all? Or you just ain't want me to go at all? Be honest with me, Dad.

Junie fixed his sandwich: Chicken nugget, do you go to parties?

[annoyedkayah2395]

Ardian shook his head: Nah just the dad blues that's all. I promise I'm good. Go to the party Lil Man... I'm not liking the whole parents not being there but I trust you and your cousins to leave when shit goes left

Harmony shook her head: No. Do the twins go to parties

Mir giggled: Junie don't like people

[thatssonanii]

Carlito was still unsure but nodded, smiling a bit: Okay, Dad. Parents are never at the parties we go to.

Junie shook her head: We been to birthday parties and stuff. But that's it. You don't like parties or mommy tell you no?

Cali grabbed a piece of turkey trying to stuff it in her mouth.

[annoyedkayah2395]

Ardian smiled grabbing one of his cards: curfew is 12 but in case yall leave early. Yall can get some snacks or something. Anything happens call. Aight?

Mir grabbed the turkey quickly breaking it up: Bubbles you can't do that. You can choke.

Harmony smiled: Good job Mir. Mommy tells me no but it's okay I like hanging with ny little brothers and my best friend Juju.

[thatssonanii]

Carlito took it smiling: Bet, thanks. But can I get a extra hour? We gon go to Waffle House after and I still gotta drop KJ and em back off.

Junie; Good job, Mir. You a good big brother like Lito and Daddy. We like hanging with you too, chicken nugget.

Cali frowned but ate anyway

[annoyedkayah2395]

Ardian nodded: No later than 1:30

Mir grinned: Thank you Junie. Good job Cali

Harmony kissed his head: Thank you

[thatssonanii]

Carlito grinned and hugged him to thank him then went back to the kitchen: Uh oh, Cali what you eating?

Junie giggled: She grabbed the turkey but Mir made sure she didn't choke.

Cali babbled excitedly to Carlito then snatched a pickle to suck on. Her face scrunched at the sourness

[annoyedkayah2395]

Ardian laughed: Good job Mir. It's sour Bubbles?

Harmony giggled: Why you snatch the pickle bubbles?

Mir giggled: Thank you

[thatssonanii]

Carlito laughed watching her: It's sour but she not letting go. Take a video and send it to twin, dad.

Junie giggled: She greedy like Daddy

Cali giggled but kept the pickle in her mouth.

[annoyedkayah2395]

Ardian recorded his kids sending it to his wife: sandwiches made?

Mir kissed Cali cheek: it's okay to be greedy. Yes sir mine is made

Harmony laughed: Kinda like when I had a lemon for the first time. Yes mine is made and we chose sharktale

[thatssonanii]

Carlito: I'm almost done. Yall go head and get started. Exactly like that, Nugget. Your face was tore up but you kept going.

Junie: Yes sir, it's made. You right, Mir. We all get that from Daddy. Chicken Nugget ate lemons?

Cali threw the pickle down then reached for Harmony sandwhich.

[annoyedkayah2395]

Ardian rubbed his head picking the pickle up: Bubbles no.

Mir: Can't be doing that bubbles

Harmony giggled: Yes I did and bubbles we don't do that

[thatssonanii]

Cali poked her lip out and cried.

Carlito picked her up and rocked her: Its alright, Cali. I know you hungry but that's not yours. Dad, got you some food. And you can have the pickle.

Junie: Bubbles probably hungry. I think it's been a long time since she ate, Daddy.

[annoyedkayah2395]

Ardian took them to their little movie theater making sure they were set up putting Sharktale on: come on Cali so daddy can feed you

Mir wiggled: I think daddy should do a little upgrade on the movie theater

[thatssonanii]

Cali reached for him giggling.

Junie: Me too! It's time

Carlito smiled: Yeah, what kinda upgrade you thinking, Mir?

[annoyedkayah2395]

Mir smiled: I think we should repaint it. Get another TV. Hang posters up. Pictures. And vending machines

Ardian chuckled grabbing Cali so he could feed her listening

Harmony: Ooooh cause we do need to hang some of Mir pictures up

[thatssonanii]

Junie: Yeah mir got nice pictures! And we can put up mommy favorite picture of her and daddy.

Carlito chewed his food up: So vending machines along with the lil concession area? We charging the cousins.

Cali bounced excitedly trying to get to the spoon

[annoyedkayah2395]

Mir smiled: Thank you. Yeah and we get to switch the snacks out and do different ones. And Lito can draw something cause he a good drawer and Junie can make us a Playlist

Harmony: I like those ideas.

Ardian smiled feeding Cali: Good bubbles?

[thatssonanii]

Junie: I like that, Mir. You have good ideas like Mommy.

Carlito: You really want me to draw something?

Cali wiggled and smacked on her food.

[annoyedkayah2395]

Mir grinned: Thank you Junie. Yeah I do Lito

Harmony: And we gotta hang mommy poster up

Ardian smiled: Taste good?

[thatssonanii]

Junie: You welcome. And yours too, chicken nugget, from the tour!

Carlito smiled: I got you, Mir. Ima do it that.

Cali giggled and leaned against him

[annoyedkayah2395]

Once Lito left Ardian made sure the twins and Harmony took their showers then went to clean up calling his wife

[thatssonanii]

Haleigh answered sitting up against her headboard: My big baby! Hiiii

Carlito pulled up to his grandparents house and texted his cousins to let them know he was outside

[annoyedkayah2395]

Ardian grinned: Pigtails! Hiiiiii mamas. How are you?

KJ ran out jumping in the front seat: what up menace!

[thatssonanii]

Haleigh grinned: I miss my babies but I'm good. I'm having fun. How are you? Are you getting beat up?

Jah and Dash hopped in the backseat.

Jah squeezed Carlito shoulder: What's up, big cuz?

[annoyedkayah2395]

Ardian smiled: Good exactly what I wanted. I'm good. Yeah I am but it's worth it. The bekim babies want to upgrade the movie theater

Dash: This car nice. Auntie or Unc's?

Carlito laughed: this mine

[thatssonanii]

Haleigh laughed softly: Of course they do. And we're going to do, aren't we? Is Cali okay?

KJ looked around: So this the car Melanii thought she could control? I mean shit nice as hell but cant let her do that.

Jah: This roomy as hell too. What you be doing in this backseat, menace? You cleaned it?

[annoyedkayah2395]

Ardian: Yeah we are. Paint job and everything. Vending machines as well. Yeah bubbles good. She tried a pickle then tried to take nugget sandwich

Dash hit KJ shaking his head

Carlito chuckled: My little brothers and sisters be back there with their snacks. Yes I cleaned it. She don't think she can control it

[thatssonanii]

Haleigh laughed I love that they wanna do that. How did she like the pickle? Nooo she tried to take gremlin sandwich. My baby was hungry.

KJ laughed and put the addressin the gps: Man, I'm just saying. Let's go, menace. I told Aiden we was gonna beat em there.

Jah laughed: Suuuure and it only be my siblings in my backseat too.

[annoyedkayah2395]

Ardian made Cali exact face: But she didn't let the pickle go. Did you get the video I sent?

Carlito laughed driving them to the house: My dad gave me a extra hour so no later than 1:30.

[thatssonanii]

Haleigh laughed: I can't with her. I did but I called my big baby first before I looked. Where my other babies?

KJ nodded: We can leave about 12:30. Aye there go the rest of em ... we beat em!

[annoyedkayah2395]

Ardian grinned: I'm your big baby! Me! Lito went to a pool party one of his cousins met a girl. The other three taking showers.

Carlito laughed stepping out: here we go

Aiden: Aye yall cheated!

[thatssonanii]

Haleigh smiled: Yeah m Yes, you're my big baby. Let me guess, Jah or KJ. You forgot one. Where's my mini me?

KJ laughed: Nah, my boy. You just drive like a granny. You beat Rik though.

Dash slapped hands with Aiden: What's up, cuzzo?

[annoyedkayah2395]

Ardian grabbed Cali showing her to his wife: say hey mommy

Aiden laughed: Nah I don't. Not trying get my ass beat. Nothing much ready for this pool party. Pretty princess joining us

Carlito mumbled: Don't start

[thatssonanii]

Cali giggled and babbled excitedly.

Haleigh smiled: There's mommy's mini me! Hiii my little baby. She look like she ready to go to sleep, y'all wore my baby out.

KJ glanced at Carlito then shook his head: Nah. He ain't wanna get in trouble so just us.

Malik snorted: But we wanted her here though. She fun and she let me say stuff that Kai don't.

Rik stared then wiped a hand over his face: Let's go inside. Don't none of y'all get us in trouble.... Malik, Lil Nico, Menace, KJ and Jah.

[annoyedkayah2395]

Ardian laughed: Yeah she been playing and eating and bullying me. Look just like you, Pigtails

Kai hit his brother; They not Rik.

Lil Nico grinned: No promises

Carlito mumbled

[thatssonanii]

Cali babbled to Haleigh and hit Ardian.

Haleigh laughed: Daddy did all that? You had to hit him? Yeah she does, my mini. Have you been sleeping and not drinking energy drinks?

Malik flinched: Aye, see? This is what I was talking about.

AJ hit his cousin: Auntie Ky said to behave.

KJ walked them into the backyard gate and looked around grinning: Damn, it's a ass of people. Lemme find shawty before she lose her spot.

[annoyedkayah2395]

Ardian made biting noises at Cali: I've been sleeping. I've had one ghost. Just one mamas.

Lil Nico scrunched his face: Long as she not bossy

Aiden laughed: It's some cute girls in here but Kai, Lito and Rik spoken for

[thatssonanii]

Cali hit him again and babbled at him.

Haleigh laughed: She gonna get you. Don't have anymore, Ardi. No more. What did yall have for dinner?

KJ frowned: Hell nah. My mama would beat my ass if I let her do that. Besides I'm only here for a few weeks, I'm just having fun. Found her, I'll be back.

Malik: Right so yall go find yall something safe to do. We gotta go look around.

Jah grinned: We gotta go see what we see.

[annoyedkayah2395]

Ardian bit Cali hands playfully: I got you mamas. I made homemade coco bread and we made sandwiches.

The cousins were walking around

Carlito: I'm buying waffle house for us when we leave

Kai nodded: Preciate that Cuz

[thatssonanii]

Cali growled at Ardian

Haleigh laughed: Alright, leave my little baby alone. Sounds good, I'm jealous though. You never made coco bread for me, Ardi.

Lil Nico grinned: That mean i get to keep my money. Good lookin out, menace.

Malik squinted then laughed and hit Aiden and AJ's arms. He spoke lowly: Aye ... ain't that Bree in that girl lap?

[annoyedkayah2395]

Ardian growled back smiling: When you come back I'll make it for you. Be our date night

Aiden looked then grinned: Well I be damned. Let's go say hi. Pretty princess, Bree is here

Carlito laughed: Yeah whatever. She is? She usually come says hi

Kai shook his head knowing: The three stooges

[thatssonanii]

Cali giggled and laid her head on his shoulder.

Haleigh: Deal. My baby sleepy, lay her down. Has she been sleeping in her crib?

Malik walked over with them and tapped Bree on the shoulder grinning: What's up, Bree?

Lil Nico grinned: You replacing us?

Bree laughed and got up: Of course yall would find me. No I'm not replacing yall. Hey pretty princess.

[annoyedkayah2395]

Ardian laid Cali down making sure she was comfortable: Yeah she has. So tell me what you been doing mamas?

Kai looked between Skyee and Bree nodding slowly: Aiden, Lil Nico, and Malik keep it cute and I mean it.

Aiden grinned at Skyee: What's up? What's your name and how you know Bree?

Carlito smiled going to hug her: Why you didn't tell me you was coming ? Who you with?

[thatssonanii]

Haleigh watched him and pouted: I miss my little baby. Umm we had port day today so we went snorkeling, did some shopping, took pictures. Uuh on the ship I've gone to the spa, the comedy show, we ate a bunch and had drinks.

Skye laughed as she got up and waved: Hey. I'm Skye. Me and her met at the mall not too long ago.

Malik sucked his teeth: I do what I want. Anyway, I'm Malik. Bree's favorite.

Bree hugged him and laughed: Aiden's my favorite, you're second cause you didn't share with me, Malik. I'm with Skye. Her friend is throwing the party and she wanted me to come with her. Where's your other half, pretty princess?

[annoyedkayah2395]

Ardian removed his shirt getting comfortable: Yeah? Good. I'm glad you had an eventful day. She miss you too but mommy needed this break.

Aiden: I'm Aiden. The mall huh? Yall was looking very comfortable.

Rik: I'm Rik and I have a twin name Nika. Nice to meet you

Kai hit his brother: I'm Kai. Nice to meet you.

AJ smirked: I'm AJ and this my cousin Jayceon but we call him Lil Nico. Nice to meet you

Carlito: KJ said don't bring her. Hi Skyee, I'm lito.

[thatssonanii]

Haleigh raised a brow: Yes, I did. I miss seeing that every day. What have you been doing?

Malik sucked his teeth and laughed: Don't be hitting on me, ignore Kai, he boring. Man, that was one time. Real comfortable. I like ya hair.

Lil Nico grinned looking between them then frowned: Stop telling people my name Jayceon. Anyway, we interrupt something?

Skye laughed: Thank you. Nice to meet yall. Bree told me all about yall. Especially you, Lito. I need to go check on my friend real quick. I'll be back, beautiful.

Skye squeezed Bree's side and kissed her cheek.

Bree blushed a little asks smiled: Okay, I'll probably be with them. But text if you can't find me. Yall are fine, you didn't interrupt nothing, we were just talking. Oooh since when you listen to KJ, princess?

[annoyedkayah2395]

Ardian flexed: Working out. Making sure the bekim kids behave. I got a little zoom call with Nas one day this week. I'm nervous

Aiden grinned at Bree: You like her?

Carlito watched the interaction: I feel like you didn't tell me something Bree

AJ: That she could've been liking melanii instead of you.

Kai rubbed his temples: This is why I'm the manager. Bree we like skyee. Long as she treat you right.

[thatssonanii]

Haleigh got distracted for a second: It shows. Don't be nervous. You rapping again?

Bree laughed: Maybe a little, Aiden. Thank you, Kai. We're just talking right now. I honestly hadn't told anybody yet, Lito. I didn't know how but since yall are here and saw me. I'm bi. Is that a problem?

Malik smiled: Nah ain't no problem with me. That's crazy, Melanii worried about Bree taking you when you should've been worried about Bree taking her.

Lil Nico laughed: You saw that blush, Kai. Skye definitely treating her right. You got good taste, Bree. She's pretty. But wait ... are yall like both fems? Or like one of y'all a stud and the other a fem? Or yall both studs?

[annoyedkayah2395]

Ardian grinned: You like it? Yes I do. Been practicing a little.

Kai: Of course it isn't Bree. I hate agreeing with my brother but he got a point

Rik snorted: I hate agreeing with Malik too

Aiden laughed: shit ain't no issue with me.

Carlito smiled: Of course not. Long as you happy bree.

[thatssonanii]

Haleigh: You know I do, Ardi. All it took was a video call with him to get you to rap? If i would've known that, I would've made it happen sooner.

Bree covered her laugh: I mean we're both fems but she's a little masculine sometimes. I appreciate the support.

Skye called out to Bree, she promised to find them before she left then went to Skye.

Malik, Lil Nico and AJ turned to grin at Carlito.

Malik: That's crazy. You got your girl stolen by another girl. Damn

[annoyedkayah2395]

Ardian laughed: and see I was gonna give you a little show while i took my shower. But you know I like to be behind the scenes mamas

Kai: Yall leave Carlito alone.

Aiden: Nah we gon fuck with the pretty princess

AJ: Damn melanii was worried about the wrong shit.

[thatssonanii]

Haleigh laughed: Aht aht, you're still going too. Says the actor and model. No behind the scenes, you should be in front of the camera sometimes.

Malik laughed: You know we can't do that.

Lil Nico shrugged: He should've been like Uncle Lo. Clearly she would've been down for it.

Carlito sucked his teeth at his cousins: I never said I liked Bree in the first place to even do that. Yall think she really like girls or she just doing that?

[annoyedkayah2395]

Ardian smirked: I mean I do like being in front of the camera with you

Rik looked: Yeah she do. Yall seen that blush on her face.

AJ: You good Lito?

Kai: And she was very comfortable sitting in her lap

[thatssonanii]

Haleigh smiled: Well when I come home we can do it again.

Malik: And Skye clearly like her too.

Aiden: She was in her lap like Lanii be in yours.

Carlito folded his arms for a second then nodded: Yeah, I'm good. I'm straight. Long as she happy.

[annoyedkayah2395]

Junie, Mir, and Harmony ran in the room: Daddy!

Ardian held his ear: Twin 1 and twin 2 and nugget im on the phone with your mommy

Kai watched Carlito: Let's just enjoy the party

Rik hit Carlito back: Yeah come on

AJ flinched: Rik you heavy handed

[thatssonanii]

Haleigh: Hey, babies. Hey gremlin. Everything okay?

Junie climbed in the bed and took the phone: Mommy! It's you!

Carlito hissed: Damn, Rik. Ima get something to drink.

Aiden laughed: You ain't going without us, you not getting away that easy, bruh.

[annoyedkayah2395]

Harmony snatched the phone: Hi mommy! Everything is okay! You okay?

Mir giggled jumping on Ardian: Hi mommy!

Ardian chuckled

The cousins got their drinks

AJ nudged Lito: Stop looking over there

[thatssonanii]

Junie frowned: Heeeeey! I was talking to mommy!

Haleigh laughed: Hey babies. Nugget, sit where they can see too. I miss yall.

Carlito frowned a little then cleared his throat: I was just making sure she was aight. We don't know that girl.

Aiden smirked: Riiiiight. That's why.

[annoyedkayah2395]

Harmony giggled setting the phone up: I was mommy. See Fuss Pot. We miss you too

Mir bit Ardian

Ardian hissed

AJ: Well Bree does and she likes her a lot.

Kai shook his head: Leave lito alone. Bree is good man. She good

[thatssonanii]

Junie giggled mischievously: Thank you, Chicken nugget. Mommy, I asked Daddy if ... if he miss you and he said no cause you steal his blanket.

Haleigh laughed: Thank you, gremlin. Get him, Mir. Your daddy said that? Ardian, you don't miss me?

Carlito: Aight, yall the ones keep asking me about it. I'm good too.

Malik snickered: Damn you bothered. You ain't choose her so Skye did.

[annoyedkayah2395]

Ardian got distracted then got super kicked by Mir: Damn it Mir.

Mir giggled

Harmony giggled: Daddy got super kicked!

Kai hit his brother: Leave him alone

Rik laughed

[thatssonanii]

Junie laughed: Good job, Mir Mir!

Haleigh laughed: That's what you get for saying you don't miss me.

Malik laughed: Did I lie though?

Carlito rolled his eyes: Yall irritating, yall know that?

Aiden grinned: Not as irritating as this situation is to you.

AJ: Payback for you getting us in trouble if you think about it

[annoyedkayah2395]

Mir giggled: Thank you. Hi mommy! What you doing? You need money? Daddy send mommy money? You eat?

Harmony laughed: Hows the cruise?

Ardian grumbled: I do miss my Pigtails

Kai laughed

Rik chuckled: You be cool Lito. You got us to lean on

Lil Nico: And having auntie fuss at us

[thatssonanii]

Junie: You been drinking water, mommy?

Haleigh laughed: So many questions. I'm just laying in my bed, Daddy sends me money twice a day, yes I ate and yes I drink water. It's fun, gremlin. Are you three being good?

Carlito stared at them and cracked a smile: Only fiend is, I'm actually funny and yall ain't

Malik shrugged playfully: We might not be but having your girl stole by light skin is.

Bree and Skye moved back to their seat.

Bree: I'm sorry, I didn't expect them to be here. I got you didn't feel awkward

[annoyedkayah2395]

Harmony: I am mommy. When you coming back home?

Ardian grumbled

Mir giggled: Me and Junie being good too. I listen to them mommy

Skye smiled: Am I complaining? It's fine. Are you okay?

Kai snorted

Aiden: There Bree go now Lito. All booed up

[thatssonanii]

Junie giggled: I'm like I always am, Mommy.

Haleigh laughed: I ... okay. I'm glad my babies are being good. I'll be home in 2 days. I love yall. Can I finish talking to daddy?

Bree laughed softly and kissed her: I'm just making sure. I'm alright, wasn't expecting to tell them yet. What do you think of them?

Carlito looked: Aiden, if Auntie Mo wouldn't whoop my ass. They look cool together.

Malik snickered: You really let her steal your girl.

[annoyedkayah2395]

Mir smiled: Yes mommy! I'm go edit pictures! Night night mommy love you

Harmony grinned: I gotta edit my vlog. Love you mommy.

Ardian smiled watching them

Skye raised a brow playfully: public display of affection. I won you over. I think they're cool and they very protective of you especially Lito.

AJ: Oh they together together Bree just kissed her

Kai mumbled: aight thats enough

[thatssonanii]

Junie: Gonna go finish my beat! Love you mommy!

Haleigh said it back and watched them run off: Wouldn't trade them for the world. Or you, braceface.

Bree laughed: You literally kissed me earlier. But yeah they are, told you me and him been best friends since we were 3. He's a menace but a sweetheart.

Aiden snorted: Remember earlier when you asked if we thought she like girls forreal or just doing it? I think you got your answer, pretty princess.

Malik snickered: Skye got to kiss her before you did.

Carlito huffed and ran his hand through his curls: Yall get on my nerves. Don't yall single asses needa be finding some girls or something? I got a girl, I'm not worried about what Bree doing as long as she safe and happy.

[annoyedkayah2395]

Once the food was done they were sitting outside eating. Ardian, Ari, and the twins were wiggling while they ate

Monique smiled: yall always cook enough to feed the neighborhood

Aj grinned grabbing a rib

Luke grinned: How often yall host barbeques?

Jabari smiled: This good, grandpa.

Tyrell: Pop, we need these barbecue sauces. Help your boys with our restaurant. @thatssonanii

[thatssonanii]

Grandma Jones laughed: Because the men and children in this family eat enough for a neighborhood of people.

Melinda: AJ, that's bigger than you.

Grandpa Jones: As often as I can get everybody here. Maybe I'll come down and teach you boys. Thank you, Jabari.

Haleigh laughed watching Ardian and his siblings: Yall all do that wiggle. The food is good though so I get it

[annoyedkayah2395]

Queenie laughed: We can tell Mama Jones.

Elijah: Well we gonna be here everytime. Long as a certain somebody invites us

AJ giggled trying to bite it

Ardian grinned: Yall still give food to that shelter? We don't mind taking a few plates to them. Wait who's the certain somebody?

Ray: Long as brat and Ty know im getting the recipe first

Tasha: Ray don't get cussed out. You get nothing first. I do.

[thatssonanii]

Grandma Jones laughed: Looks like your husbands are the same.

Luke: You, Ardian. You the certain somebody.

Melinda helped him: There. That better?

Tyrell: No, I'm the best child. I get it first.

Grandpa Jones: We do. I was going to take some later. Yall are always welcome. Don't argue. The oldest gets the recipe first.

Haleigh popped Jabari hand: Move, you have your own.

[annoyedkayah2395]

Trinity laughed: They gonna be asking Pop Jones for recipes

Ray smirked

Ardian: Fine but don't get too comfortable around my grandparents. Can we help grandpa? I can get some snacks and stuff and some candy for them.

AJ: tank you!

Tasha cussed her brother out in Patios

Monique laughed: this why nephew cuss people out in Albanian

Jabari pouted: Yeah but I'm your little brother. Can I help grandpa?

[thatssonanii]

Jimmy grinned: And he's gonna help us. Don't be jealous that he ain't gonna give it to you.

Luke frowned: Aye, be nice to us. Grandma Jones said you had to.

Melinda: You welcome, baby.

Tyrell: Wait what? How he get to?

Grandpa Jones chuckled: Tasha, be nice. Tyrell, calm down. I'm not dating that you two won't get them. I'm just saying Ray will be first. You may help, Adrian but you won't pay. You too, Jabari

Haleigh popped him again: Don't care. You steal from Ari not me.

[annoyedkayah2395]

Queenie laughed; nobody jealous Jimmy

Roman: Me and my cousins don't mind helping. What all do yall give to the shelter?

AJ ate his ribs

Nana Jones smiled: Chunky. Tash. I thought my babies were going to be nice

Ray grinned

Tasha: Yes nana.

Ardian: Yes nana. I'm be nice. Fine yall can share my.. our family. I'm not paying? You sure grandpa? Me and my brothers don't mind.

Elijah nodded:

Jabari hissed then stoled from Nova who giggled: Isa bites

[thatssonanii]

Jimmy laughed: Yeah you is, Spring

Grandpa Jones: I don't care that you don't mind. Food, beverages, toiletries, clothes, bedding, gift cards. Things they need

Grandma Jones smiled: Thank you for being nice and sharing.

Isa whispered to her twin.

Nova bit his finger and giggled.

Haleigh snorted: And so does Nova apparently

[annoyedkayah2395]

Queenie laughed: Never Jimmy

Roman stared at Ardian: You never said yall get things for the shelter. We could've gotten it when we were out

Ardian grinned then stared back: You never asked. Aight Grandpa. We got you

Apryl snorted

Jabari hissed: Aye ain't Nova the oldest? I thought we were cool Nova

[thatssonanii]

Jimmy pushed her playfully: Thats what you say now.

Kandice hit her husband's arm laughing: Stop staring at him.

Grandpa Jones: Well now everybody knows and it's okay. I appreciate all the help.

Nova giggled: We are but you touch my food and didn't ask.

Haleigh nudged Ardian smiling: You and my daddy act alike.

[annoyedkayah2395]

Queenie: Trin get your husband

Roman: But he... he.. look at the grin.

Ari: I can help Grandpa?

Monique: Ari you be with us we got you

Jabari made biting noises then frowned at Ari: No no no. What if me and the big brothers gotta shoot somebody?

Morgan laughed: Jabari Grandpa and our uncles not gonna let anything happen to us

Ardian smiled a little at her

[thatssonanii]

Trinity laughed: Leave Queenie alone.

Kandice: And you have the same grin.

Grandpa Jones: Of course you can, babygirl. Jabari.

Grandma Jones frowned, waving her hands to stop him: Hey, uhn uhn. I do not want to hear anymore about shooting people and guns that's inappropriate in front of the children and frankly disrespectful in front of me and your grandfather. My sons don't say it in front of me so neither will anyone else. We're eating and discussing charity.

Apryl: Yes ma'am, I agree.

Haleigh raised a brow at Ardian and whispered: Be nice, you don't have up be a little shit all the time. Please?

[annoyedkayah2395]

Roman: I'm not that bad.

Rich: How much yall usually buy in gift cards?

Nova giggled: Bari got in trouble

AJ giggled

Jabari: Sorry Grandma. My bad. I didn't get in trouble Nova. Who's side you on? Sorry grandpa

Ardian nodded smiling: I got you mamas. Me and ya pops cool

[thatssonanii]

Kandice laughed: Yes, you are.

Grandpa Jones: Honestly, I never really look at the number. I just know it's more than enough. Ray usually looks at the number that's his job. Its okay, Jabari

Isa giggled: He did. Him was bad.

Grandma Jones: It's fine.

Haleigh: Promise?

[annoyedkayah2395]

Roman smiled: Maybe

Rich nodded: I'll help

Apryl: Do yall know the owner of the shelter? We can get them something.

Nana Jones smiled and winked at Jabari

Jabari grinned: I'm liked again!

Luke laughed: Me and my brothers get toys

Ardian grinned: I promise

[thatssonanii]

Kandice laughed: Maybe... okay

Grandpa Jones: We appreciate the help and I know they will too.

Grandma Jones smiled: You were never disliked, Jabari. Correction doesn't mean you're unloved

Morgan: And we can get the female products too

Haleigh closed her eyes for a second: You know I love you

[annoyedkayah2395]

Ray: We always got you pop.

Ty grinned

Chenice squealed: Look at us!

Jabari nodded: Yes grandma.

Ardian kissed her cheek: I love you more.

Nova giggled stealing from Ari plate

[thatssonanii]

Grandpa Jones: That's why I love yall.

Elijah: Being charitable and helping the people. We should do a bank to school drive at home.

Grandma Jones: I love you, okay Jabari?

Haleigh: I picked up with you

Ari gasped: Did my Novie take from my plate?

[annoyedkayah2395]

When they were done Ardian was standing next to Grandpa Jones with Haleigh: That's for Mr. Willie and his wife?

Jabari was standing next to Grandma Jones smiling: I'm sorry for saying what I said. I didn't mean to offend.

Chenice: Nana Jones im gonna be your favorite!

Ray, Ty, and Tasha was standing next to each other watching everybody while Tasha held AJ

[thatssonanii]

Grandpa Jones: Yup that's for them. What you think?

Grandma Jones kissed his head: I accept your apology. I know you didn't.

Nana Jones laughed: I like your spunk. You know that?

Tyrell: What yall thinking?

Haleigh bumped her mama: Still okay?

[annoyedkayah2395]

Chenice squealed: Yall heard that?! Nana likes my spunk!

Jabari grinned: thank you for accepting me.

Ardian looked and nodded: That's good grandpa.

Tasha tickled AJ: I think I need to get paid next time I have to be nice

Ray laughed

Kandice smiled: Yes pretty girl. You? You was right at home

[thatssonanii]

Morgan laughed: We heard it, Nicey. Please.

Nana Jones laughed: You always so happy and that's what everybody needs. You have a sweet spirit and you mean well.

Grandma Jones: You have me no reason not to accept you, Jabari. You are always enough.

Grandpa Jones: Glad I have your approval. What's on your mind?

Tyrell laughed: How much you think would be enough?

Haleigh: Yes ma'am. Cause I am. Home away from home

[annoyedkayah2395]

Chenice: Really nana? My happiness is needed around yall!

Jabari: Yeah? Even if I dont like people? Call people stupid?

Ardian: All of this. I was content with it just being us but I know Pigtails needed this. Wanted this.

Tasha hummed: Until my little heart is happy. Right AJ? What yall two thinking?

Ray: Just watching

Kandice chuckled: this was where he had you and Sassy when we couldn't get in contact with you?

[thatssonanii]

Nana Jones laughed and squeezed her hand: Okay, baby, okay. You don't have to broadcast it all. Some stuff is just for you and I.

Grandma Jones smiled: You're not the only one in this family that does that so those are not deal breakers.

Grandpa Jones: And you needed and wanted this too. Don't leave you out.

Tyrell chuckled: Yeah okay, brat. Same, thinking.

AJ giggled: Yeah!

Haleigh nodded: Yeah we were here. She loved it

[annoyedkayah2395]

Chenice grinned: Thank you nana... for everything.

Jabari: Yeah? Cause ari doll mean alot to me I don't wanna mess it up cause I disappointed yall. Yall mean a lot to me as well

Ardian twisted his mouth glancing at his grandfather

Tasha nodded kissing AJ cheek: Are yall happy?

Ray: I mean this shit nice.

Kandice smiled: I bet they spoil her. He's a lil shit but he loves you

[thatssonanii]

Nana Jones: Thank you for bringing joy no matter what. You are yourself and you do not water it down or adjust for anyone. I know that's why Morgan and Haleigh love you.

Grandma Jones: You will know if you mess up before I ever said a word. But that time won't come.

Grandpa Jones chuckled: Don't twist your lips at me. Keep going, include yourself. Because you absolutely needed and wanted it.

Tyrell: The people I love is happy so am I.

Haleigh laughed: Yes, they do. He is, I told him that he doesn't have to be like that all the time because he's not like that at home with just me and Sassy. I also told him that he's just like Daddy.

[annoyedkayah2395]

Chenice: It is. I try to make sure they're always happy

Jabari hugged her: Thank you Grandma.

Isa yelled: Don't hug my grandma Bari!

Tasha nodded: I'm glad Pretty gyal is getting this

Ardian: I'm not gonna necessarily say I needed it. But I wanted it for my girls. Best you getting grandpa.

Kandice laughed: I told your father the same thing and he denied it. One day they get along. We hope

[thatssonanii]

Nana Jones: I know they make sure youre happy as well. But does Luke make sure?

Grandma Jones laughed: Isabella, are you being like your mama and big brother?

Tyrell kissed her head: I'm glad you and nephew are getting it too.

Grandpa Jones chuckled: Fine, be hard headed like your father in law and dont say it. I know the truth.

Haleigh laughed: One day. Im glad you and Mama Tasha are getting along.

[annoyedkayah2395]

Chenice smiled: Yes he do

Isa giggled: Noooooo

Ardian laughed putting his hands in his pockets: I mean it's cool and all. But you know who my focus is on grandpa

Tasha stared at her brother

AJ giggled

Kandice: Yeah she's our mean gyal. Stubborn as hell. She act like she don't wanna be around us but then we see a different side to her

[thatssonanii]

Nana Jones nodded and smiled: Good, I figured but I had to ask. I like him for you.

Grandma Jones laughed: Uhuh, I'm watching you. Jabari, you okay?

Grandpa Jones stared at him for a moment: You are just as hard headed and stubborn as your mama, maybe more. And the thing about hard headed and stubborn people, they're the lucky ones cause they don't have to deal with it we do.

Tyrell laughed: I ain't lie. You and nephew be acting like yall unaffected and uninterested. Glad niece people ain't the type to be deterred by that

Haleigh nodded: Yeah, Ardian acts like that too. To be honest it's one of the things I don't particularly care for about him but I choose my battles.

[annoyedkayah2395]

Chenice squealed: Really?

Jabari smiled: I'm good grandma. You aight?

Tasha tickled AJ: We just being careful. Is that wrong?

Ray: Nah it ain't

Ardian: Yes I'm stubborn but within good reason grandpa. I'm blessed that we got this. I don't take this granted. I guess I'm still protecting Hae in case things go left.

Kandice: he's stubborn in general or when it comes to you and sassy?

[thatssonanii]

Nana Jones: Yes ma'am. He's a sweetheart. I can tell by how he looks at you that he loves you.

Grandma Jones: As long as my babies are okay, I'm okay

Tyrell stared at them: Careful isn't wrong. You can be careful and still enjoy yourself and act like you like them instead of acting like you hate that they're all here.

Grandpa Jones chuckled to himself: I hear you but I'll leave you with this. You can be protective without checking out. If you constantly keep watch for the other shoe to drop you won't enjoy the other and you just might lose it.

Grandpa Jones squeezed his shoulder then walked off.

Haleigh: In general but today me and Rai. Don't get me wrong I love that he wants to protect me and her and I know that Luke and Elijah got used to it but I don't know. It can't be fun having to always guess if someone likes or hates you and is just tolerating you. I'm gonna go to the bathroom.

[annoyedkayah2395]

Chenice: You said what Nana?

Jabari: Ha! I'm one of your babies

Ray stared back: this is bout my niece.

Tasha sighed tickling AJ: Yeah i guess you right. Kandi, can I talk to you please?

Ari went to stand next to her brother: Whatever grandpa said got to you. And I think that I agree with him and you should break the ice. Show the side we see.

Ardian sighed nodding: Yeah... Yeah... Fuck.

[thatssonanii]

Nana Jones: I think you heard me. He loves you, I can see it.

Grandma Jones laughed: Yes you are. As long as it's okay with you.

Tyrell: Its about yall too. Mean ass.

AJ giggled and wiggled around.

Kandice smiled: Sure. Is something wrong?

Haleigh used the bathroom then looked around the living room at all the family pictures

[annoyedkayah2395]

Chenice smiled: He treats me really good Nana.

Tasha kissed AJ cheek: I am very stubborn. Don't say anything smart. But I do like you and I am sorry if it doesn't seem like it. My parents raised me to have sense... sometimes

Jabari: of course it is Grandma!

Ray: What I say?

Ardian approached Roman: Mr. Reigns... Pop... Wanna play a little basketball game before Granda gives us our instructions? My team vs your team?

Grandpa Jones smiled at Haleigh: We have to put more pictures up that grand boy sent us from the father's day brunch

[thatssonanii]

Nana Jones smiled: Good, I knew it. And how are you treating him?

Kandice laughed softly: Not saying anything smart. Its okay, just figured you were still warning up. I'm sorry if I annoyed you, I can be too bubbly when I like people.

Grandma Jones laughed: Ari did good picking you.

Tyrell: Don't care. You heard what i said.

Roman glanced at him and smiled: You wanna play ball with me? Sure.

Haleigh smiled: I can't believe i didn't know he sent those

[annoyedkayah2395]

Chenice : I hope good nana. I hope so.

Jabari smiled: Yeah? She really said let me like the mean one.

Tasha smiled: Bubbly don't bother me you see Ari and Nova. But I like you too fun gyal

Ardian nodded: Luke and Elijah with me of course.

Luke grinned: Before yall even attempt uncle Amell with us.

Grandpa Jones: Yeah he did. Every picture... accomplishment he shares it with us.

Ari smiled watching her mommy and big brother with the twins: See look at mommy and big brother

[thatssonanii]

Nana Jones: He's still here asks happy so I'd say you are.

Grandma Jones: Cause she saw what ride you had in there beyond that mean exterior

Kandice smiled: Wasn't sure. Good. Sooo

Roman shook his head laughing: Nah, nah, don't work that way. Ardian made his 2 picks, I get my 2 picks now. Amell and Jim.

Elijah: Ardian, you should've picked me and Uncle Mel.

Haleigh: I don't know how I feel about that. He's so proud of Sarai. Loves her like she's apart of him.

Isa scrunched her face: Eew they be nice

[annoyedkayah2395]

Chenice smiled: Thank you nana. Do you like all of us?

Tasha glanced at her chuckling: Out with it.

Jabari: Long as her and you guys see it that's all that matters

Ardian laughed: Uncle Ray and Uncle Jey.

Jimmy snorted: Jey sucks at basketball

Grandpa Jones smiled: He's not only proud of Sarai. He's proud of you too. Whenever you had a paper due he call and brag about how you got an a because you that smart.

Nova giggled: Yay mommy and big brother

[thatssonanii]

Nana Jones: You all wouldn't be here if I didn't.

Kandice laughed: We besties now? Or no?

Grandma Jones: Good answer

Jey sucked his teeth: I do not.

Roman: Uuuh Rich and Ty.

Haleigh laughed softly: I can believe it. He acts like this is all for me and her but I know he's enjoying having this. I wouldn't be with him if I thought or found out that he didn't. It would feel like pity and I never needed that.

Isa: Yay, I guess. They happy, Ari?

[annoyedkayah2395]

Chenice laughed softly going to hug her: Thank you nana.

Jabari: So we always giving back to the shelter?

Ardian grinned at his dad

Rezar rubbed his head: don't get chopped

Tasha snorted: Yes we are

AJ clapped giggling

Grandpa Jones smiled: he never felt pity for you. Boy been talking highly about you since the day yall met.

Ari laughed: Yeah they happy. What about my minis?

Nova giggled: I happy

[thatssonanii]

Nana Jones kissed her face: Thank you, sweet girl. Do me a favor ... seems Morgan over here. Please

Grandma Jones nodded: Yes, always. When we can.

Roman laughed: Go on, big man. Nico come on.

Kandice did a dance then hugged her: I knew it!

Haleigh: I know, I was just saying how he acts. Getting your grandson to talk about his feelings is sometimes like pulling teeth.

Isa: I happy too!

[annoyedkayah2395]

Myles laughed hyping Lil Mikey up:Say go Papa! Gotta get papa a little apron. @thatssonanii

[thatssonanii]

Cairo giggled: Go! Go!

Lil Mikey giggled: Good job, Cai! Yeah, I need a aspirin, Daddy

Denise: Why you fussing? He'll let papa help.

Lil Mikey: Don't fuss, Cai. Its okay

[annoyedkayah2395]

Cai mumbled

Myles mumbled as well

[thatssonanii]

Lil Mikey giggled helping: Cai you act just like daddy.

Denise snorted: I been saying that too, Papa

[annoyedkayah2395]

Cai stared at his brother

Myles: Now who's side yall on?

[thatssonanii]

Lil Mikey giggled harder: Sorry, Cai. But you do.

Denise laughed: There's no sides

[annoyedkayah2395]

Cai reached for a pancake fussing

Myles: Now when yall don't get no money.

[thatssonanii]

Lil Mikey: You can't do that, Daddy.

Lil Mikey grinned: And you never be broke

Cai giggled loudly

Myles mumbled

[thatssonanii]

After breakfast, Lil Mikey and Cairo play fought withMyles in the living room floor while Denise watched them.

Denise: Yall are so rough

[annoyedkayah2395]

Myles tried to bite them both: No the boys are.. I was minding my own business

Lil Mikey giggled: Daddy teach us to be rough

[thatssonanii]

Cairo giggled and tried to hit him: Yeah!

Denise laughed: He did and so did Uncle Vonte. Babe ... I've seen you and Vonte wrestle.

[annoyedkayah2395]

Myles dodged and gave playful hits: We wrestle calm

[thatssonanii]

Cairo landed his next hit and cheered.

Denise laughed: there is nothing calm about Vonte so I know that's a lie

[annoyedkayah2395]

Lil Mikey grinned: Good job Cai!

Myles groaned playfully: oh no Cai got me. Well true

[thatssonanii]

Cairo giggled then pointed and babbled to Lil Mikey.

They was sitting inside and waiting for the line up. Myles was looking at the paper and found Malia name

Kiara smiled: You did a good job dad

Alexis: You really did brother in law

Aubree cheered: Yay, Lia!

Issac: Where our other cousin? I don't see him

Denise kissed his cheek: You so proud of your baby

Nylah laughed: That's right. He's mine now

[annoyedkayah2395]

Jacob pointed: I see him. See he smiling

Mama Johnson wiped her eyes

Myles nodded: I am.

Lil Hakeem made small noises

Kiara laughed: Not him agreeing

[thatssonanii]

Issac looked and waved: Kendrick! You see us?

Vonte: Yeeeeeah, nephew!

Tori passed mama Johnson a small pack of tissues: I came prepared.

Denise: It seems like time flew, doesn't it?

Nylah stuck her tongue out laughing: That's right, tell her best friend.

Myles kissed her head: Taking her to her little dance recital and karate classes.

Kendrick grinned widely: What's up?!

After the graduation Malia looked around for her family and spotted them running to go hug Myles tightly: I did it daddy. I got it for us

Myles sniffled: Yeah you did princess 3. I'm proud of you

Kiara wiped her eyes

[thatssonanii]

Nylah cleared her throat trying not to cry as she watched them.

Mama Johnson: My baby did it. I'm so proud

Denise rubbed their backs

[annoyedkayah2395]

Malia pulled away crying showing her diploma: Malia Johnson College graduate. Don't ever beat yourself up again cause your princess 3 did it with your help and guidance. You got it out the mud but made sure I didn't have to. Best daddy ever.

Myles nodded sniffling: And I'll do it again in a heartbeat

Malia grinned hugging Denise: Thank you Mama for everything. Yesssss I'm a baddie with a degree!

Myles kept his gaze on malia diploma

Vonte nodded: Yeah allergies

[thatssonanii]

Denise squeezed her tight and rocked: Oh it was a privilege to be here for you, Lia.

Nylah nudged Myles: You looking at Lia's degree like Mama looked at Ki's. It's like you know it's coming but when you have the degree in hand ... its different. Huh?

Alexis laughed: Allergies my foot

[annoyedkayah2395]

Malia: And I owe you too mama. I know having a teenage daughter wasn't on your to do list but you never treated me differently

Myles nodded: Yeah. It's surreal. My three girls accomplished something I didn't

Vonte sniffled: Who's side you on ?

[thatssonanii]

Denise: You only owe me being happy in your life. You are one of my girls and you will forever be. I wouldn't treat you any differently than them.

Nylah laid her head on his shoulder: Two, dad. But there's still time for you to accomplish it.

Alexis laughed: Yours, babe, yours

[annoyedkayah2395]

Malia smiled: Thank you Mama. Glad your love is unconditional.

Myles smiled a little: Nah college isn't my thing

Vonte: Thank you. Niece you a brainiac!

[thatssonanii]

Denise kissed her face repeatedly: It always will be. Okay?

Nylah: I tried to tell Ki no about it but she told me she didn't wanna hear that. But you can think about it.

Isaac giggled: What's that mean, Daddy?

[annoyedkayah2395]

They were at Mama Johnson house laughing and eating.

Malia grinned: I'm glad I'm done with college. And now dad you have the full green light to get Brandon. Thank yall for celebrating with us. We know you busy

Myles: Really? Cool. You and Kendrick accomplished something big of course we gonna celebrate yall

Vonte grinned: Ayyyyyye! We can get him! We never to busy for y'all

Nylah looked between her dad and uncle: Can i help?

Kendrick laughed: I was about to ask the same thing.

[annoyedkayah2395]

Myles chuckled

Issa grinned: We wanna come too

Kiara: no they can't. Your best friend said no Lah

Mama Johnson laughed

[thatssonanii]

Vonte laughed: Nah, not this time, lil dino. When you're bigger.

Nylah frowned: My best friend would not say that. And you not the boss of us, Ki. Daddy and Mama is. Right, Kendrick?

Kendrick nodded: Right, big sis. We can go. Ain't that right, Dad?

[annoyedkayah2395]

Cai grabbed Myles lip

Myles hissed: Shit Cai.. aye

Kiara chuckled: Oh he wouldn't?

Issac pouted: Well then take Jacob

[thatssonanii]

Lil Mikey giggled: Cai, let daddy go. It's okay.

Nylah grinned: No he wouldn't. He would want his best friend to do it for his other auntie.

Vonte smiled: I need you and Jacob to protect the ladies while we gone.

[annoyedkayah2395]

Myles grumbled staring at Cai: I'll like to say something to the graduates even though this ain't my strong suit

Kiara laughed rolling her eyes: Uh huh

Jacob smiled: We got it daddy!

[thatssonanii]

Denise: Says the person who gives the best speeches.

Nylah: Daddy didn't say no so I get to go.

Vonte kissed their heads: And ima pay yall. Go head jellybean

Kendrick grinned and put his arm around the back of Malia chair: We listening

[annoyedkayah2395]

Myles cleared his throat: To my princess 3 I got it out the mud with you. And I don't regret anything because you turned out better than I imagined. I'm so damn proud of you. And to my son in law you been making me proud since yall was in high school. You always protected Lia even if she fussed about it. Shit...

Cai tugged on Myles shirt: Dada

Malia wiped her eyes

[thatssonanii]

Kendrick sniffed and cleared his throat: And ima always do it, I'll don't care if she hit me. I appreciate that.

Lil Mikey watched them.

Vonte: Awe man, almost made me cry.

Nylah passed Myles a napkin: Here you go, Daddy

[annoyedkayah2395]

Once the food was done they were sitting outside eating. Ardian, Ari, and the twins were wiggling while they ate

Monique smiled: yall always cook enough to feed the neighborhood

Aj grinned grabbing a rib

Luke grinned: How often yall host barbeques?

Jabari smiled: This good, grandpa.

Tyrell: Pop, we need these barbecue sauces. Help your boys with our restaurant. @thatssonanii

[thatssonanii]

Grandma Jones laughed: Because the men and children in this family eat enough for a neighborhood of people.

Melinda: AJ, that's bigger than you.

Grandpa Jones: As often as I can get everybody here. Maybe I'll come down and teach you boys. Thank you, Jabari.

Haleigh laughed watching Ardian and his siblings: Yall all do that wiggle. The food is good though so I get it

[annoyedkayah2395]

Queenie laughed: We can tell Mama Jones.

Elijah: Well we gonna be here everytime. Long as a certain somebody invites us

AJ giggled trying to bite it

Ardian grinned: Yall still give food to that shelter? We don't mind taking a few plates to them. Wait who's the certain somebody?

Ray: Long as brat and Ty know im getting the recipe first

Tasha: Ray don't get cussed out. You get nothing first. I do.

[thatssonanii]

Grandma Jones laughed: Looks like your husbands are the same.

Luke: You, Ardian. You the certain somebody.

Melinda helped him: There. That better?

Tyrell: No, I'm the best child. I get it first.

Grandpa Jones: We do. I was going to take some later. Yall are always welcome. Don't argue. The oldest gets the recipe first.

Haleigh popped Jabari hand: Move, you have your own.

[annoyedkayah2395]

Trinity laughed: They gonna be asking Pop Jones for recipes

Ray smirked

Ardian: Fine but don't get too comfortable around my grandparents. Can we help grandpa? I can get some snacks and stuff and some candy for them.

AJ: tank you!

Tasha cussed her brother out in Patios

Monique laughed: this why nephew cuss people out in Albanian

Jabari pouted: Yeah but I'm your little brother. Can I help grandpa?

[thatssonanii]

Jimmy grinned: And he's gonna help us. Don't be jealous that he ain't gonna give it to you.

Luke frowned: Aye, be nice to us. Grandma Jones said you had to.

Melinda: You welcome, baby.

Tyrell: Wait what? How he get to?

Grandpa Jones chuckled: Tasha, be nice. Tyrell, calm down. I'm not dating that you two won't get them. I'm just saying Ray will be first. You may help, Adrian but you won't pay. You too, Jabari

Haleigh popped him again: Don't care. You steal from Ari not me.

[annoyedkayah2395]

Queenie laughed; nobody jealous Jimmy

Roman: Me and my cousins don't mind helping. What all do yall give to the shelter?

AJ ate his ribs

Nana Jones smiled: Chunky. Tash. I thought my babies were going to be nice

Ray grinned

Tasha: Yes nana.

Ardian: Yes nana. I'm be nice. Fine yall can share my.. our family. I'm not paying? You sure grandpa? Me and my brothers don't mind.

Elijah nodded:

Jabari hissed then stoled from Nova who giggled: Isa bites

[thatssonanii]

Jimmy laughed: Yeah you is, Spring

Grandpa Jones: I don't care that you don't mind. Food, beverages, toiletries, clothes, bedding, gift cards. Things they need

Grandma Jones smiled: Thank you for being nice and sharing.

Isa whispered to her twin.

Nova bit his finger and giggled.

Haleigh snorted: And so does Nova apparently

[annoyedkayah2395]

Queenie laughed: Never Jimmy

Roman stared at Ardian: You never said yall get things for the shelter. We could've gotten it when we were out

Ardian grinned then stared back: You never asked. Aight Grandpa. We got you

Apryl snorted

Jabari hissed: Aye ain't Nova the oldest? I thought we were cool Nova

[thatssonanii]

Jimmy pushed her playfully: Thats what you say now.

Kandice hit her husband's arm laughing: Stop staring at him.

Grandpa Jones: Well now everybody knows and it's okay. I appreciate all the help.

Nova giggled: We are but you touch my food and didn't ask.

Haleigh nudged Ardian smiling: You and my daddy act alike.

[annoyedkayah2395]

Queenie: Trin get your husband

Roman: But he... he.. look at the grin.

Ari: I can help Grandpa?

Monique: Ari you be with us we got you

Jabari made biting noises then frowned at Ari: No no no. What if me and the big brothers gotta shoot somebody?

Morgan laughed: Jabari Grandpa and our uncles not gonna let anything happen to us

Ardian smiled a little at her

[thatssonanii]

Trinity laughed: Leave Queenie alone.

Kandice: And you have the same grin.

Grandpa Jones: Of course you can, babygirl. Jabari.

Grandma Jones frowned, waving her hands to stop him: Hey, uhn uhn. I do not want to hear anymore about shooting people and guns that's inappropriate in front of the children and frankly disrespectful in front of me and your grandfather. My sons don't say it in front of me so neither will anyone else. We're eating and discussing charity.

Apryl: Yes ma'am, I agree.

Haleigh raised a brow at Ardian and whispered: Be nice, you don't have up be a little shit all the time. Please?

[annoyedkayah2395]

Roman: I'm not that bad.

Rich: How much yall usually buy in gift cards?

Nova giggled: Bari got in trouble

AJ giggled

Jabari: Sorry Grandma. My bad. I didn't get in trouble Nova. Who's side you on? Sorry grandpa

Ardian nodded smiling: I got you mamas. Me and ya pops cool

[thatssonanii]

Kandice laughed: Yes, you are.

Grandpa Jones: Honestly, I never really look at the number. I just know it's more than enough. Ray usually looks at the number that's his job. Its okay, Jabari

Isa giggled: He did. Him was bad.

Grandma Jones: It's fine.

Haleigh: Promise?

[annoyedkayah2395]

Roman smiled: Maybe

Rich nodded: I'll help

Apryl: Do yall know the owner of the shelter? We can get them something.

Nana Jones smiled and winked at Jabari

Jabari grinned: I'm liked again!

Luke laughed: Me and my brothers get toys

Ardian grinned: I promise

[thatssonanii]

Kandice laughed: Maybe... okay

Grandpa Jones: We appreciate the help and I know they will too.

Grandma Jones smiled: You were never disliked, Jabari. Correction doesn't mean you're unloved

Morgan: And we can get the female products too

Haleigh closed her eyes for a second: You know I love you

[annoyedkayah2395]

Ray: We always got you pop.

Ty grinned

Chenice squealed: Look at us!

Jabari nodded: Yes grandma.

Ardian kissed her cheek: I love you more.

Nova giggled stealing from Ari plate

[thatssonanii]

Grandpa Jones: That's why I love yall.

Elijah: Being charitable and helping the people. We should do a bank to school drive at home.

Grandma Jones: I love you, okay Jabari?

Haleigh: I picked up with you

Ari gasped: Did my Novie take from my plate?

[annoyedkayah2395]

When they were done Ardian was standing next to Grandpa Jones with Haleigh: That's for Mr. Willie and his wife?

Jabari was standing next to Grandma Jones smiling: I'm sorry for saying what I said. I didn't mean to offend.

Chenice: Nana Jones im gonna be your favorite!

Ray, Ty, and Tasha was standing next to each other watching everybody while Tasha held AJ

[thatssonanii]

Grandpa Jones: Yup that's for them. What you think?

Grandma Jones kissed his head: I accept your apology. I know you didn't.

Nana Jones laughed: I like your spunk. You know that?

Tyrell: What yall thinking?

Haleigh bumped her mama: Still okay?

[annoyedkayah2395]

Chenice squealed: Yall heard that?! Nana likes my spunk!

Jabari grinned: thank you for accepting me.

Ardian looked and nodded: That's good grandpa.

Tasha tickled AJ: I think I need to get paid next time I have to be nice

Ray laughed

Kandice smiled: Yes pretty girl. You? You was right at home

[thatssonanii]

Morgan laughed: We heard it, Nicey. Please.

Nana Jones laughed: You always so happy and that's what everybody needs. You have a sweet spirit and you mean well.

Grandma Jones: You have me no reason not to accept you, Jabari. You are always enough.

Grandpa Jones: Glad I have your approval. What's on your mind?

Tyrell laughed: How much you think would be enough?

Haleigh: Yes ma'am. Cause I am. Home away from home

[annoyedkayah2395]

Chenice: Really nana? My happiness is needed around yall!

Jabari: Yeah? Even if I dont like people? Call people stupid?

Ardian: All of this. I was content with it just being us but I know Pigtails needed this. Wanted this.

Tasha hummed: Until my little heart is happy. Right AJ? What yall two thinking?

Ray: Just watching

Kandice chuckled: this was where he had you and Sassy when we couldn't get in contact with you?

[thatssonanii]

Nana Jones laughed and squeezed her hand: Okay, baby, okay. You don't have to broadcast it all. Some stuff is just for you and I.

Grandma Jones smiled: You're not the only one in this family that does that so those are not deal breakers.

Grandpa Jones: And you needed and wanted this too. Don't leave you out.

Tyrell chuckled: Yeah okay, brat. Same, thinking.

AJ giggled: Yeah!

Haleigh nodded: Yeah we were here. She loved it

[annoyedkayah2395]

Chenice grinned: Thank you nana... for everything.

Jabari: Yeah? Cause ari doll mean alot to me I don't wanna mess it up cause I disappointed yall. Yall mean a lot to me as well

Ardian twisted his mouth glancing at his grandfather

Tasha nodded kissing AJ cheek: Are yall happy?

Ray: I mean this shit nice.

Kandice smiled: I bet they spoil her. He's a lil shit but he loves you

[thatssonanii]

Nana Jones: Thank you for bringing joy no matter what. You are yourself and you do not water it down or adjust for anyone. I know that's why Morgan and Haleigh love you.

Grandma Jones: You will know if you mess up before I ever said a word. But that time won't come.

Grandpa Jones chuckled: Don't twist your lips at me. Keep going, include yourself. Because you absolutely needed and wanted it.

Tyrell: The people I love is happy so am I.

Haleigh laughed: Yes, they do. He is, I told him that he doesn't have to be like that all the time because he's not like that at home with just me and Sassy. I also told him that he's just like Daddy.

[annoyedkayah2395]

Chenice: It is. I try to make sure they're always happy

Jabari hugged her: Thank you Grandma.

Isa yelled: Don't hug my grandma Bari!

Tasha nodded: I'm glad Pretty gyal is getting this

Ardian: I'm not gonna necessarily say I needed it. But I wanted it for my girls. Best you getting grandpa.

Kandice laughed: I told your father the same thing and he denied it. One day they get along. We hope

[thatssonanii]

Nana Jones: I know they make sure youre happy as well. But does Luke make sure?

Grandma Jones laughed: Isabella, are you being like your mama and big brother?

Tyrell kissed her head: I'm glad you and nephew are getting it too.

Grandpa Jones chuckled: Fine, be hard headed like your father in law and dont say it. I know the truth.

Haleigh laughed: One day. Im glad you and Mama Tasha are getting along.

[annoyedkayah2395]

Chenice smiled: Yes he do

Isa giggled: Noooooo

Ardian laughed putting his hands in his pockets: I mean it's cool and all. But you know who my focus is on grandpa

Tasha stared at her brother

AJ giggled

Kandice: Yeah she's our mean gyal. Stubborn as hell. She act like she don't wanna be around us but then we see a different side to her

[thatssonanii]

Nana Jones nodded and smiled: Good, I figured but I had to ask. I like him for you.

Grandma Jones laughed: Uhuh, I'm watching you. Jabari, you okay?

Grandpa Jones stared at him for a moment: You are just as hard headed and stubborn as your mama, maybe more. And the thing about hard headed and stubborn people, they're the lucky ones cause they don't have to deal with it we do.

Tyrell laughed: I ain't lie. You and nephew be acting like yall unaffected and uninterested. Glad niece people ain't the type to be deterred by that

Haleigh nodded: Yeah, Ardian acts like that too. To be honest it's one of the things I don't particularly care for about him but I choose my battles.

[annoyedkayah2395]

Chenice squealed: Really?

Jabari smiled: I'm good grandma. You aight?

Tasha tickled AJ: We just being careful. Is that wrong?

Ray: Nah it ain't

Ardian: Yes I'm stubborn but within good reason grandpa. I'm blessed that we got this. I don't take this granted. I guess I'm still protecting Hae in case things go left.

Kandice: he's stubborn in general or when it comes to you and sassy?

[thatssonanii]

Nana Jones: Yes ma'am. He's a sweetheart. I can tell by how he looks at you that he loves you.

Grandma Jones: As long as my babies are okay, I'm okay

Tyrell stared at them: Careful isn't wrong. You can be careful and still enjoy yourself and act like you like them instead of acting like you hate that they're all here.

Grandpa Jones chuckled to himself: I hear you but I'll leave you with this. You can be protective without checking out. If you constantly keep watch for the other shoe to drop you won't enjoy the other and you just might lose it.

Grandpa Jones squeezed his shoulder then walked off.

Haleigh: In general but today me and Rai. Don't get me wrong I love that he wants to protect me and her and I know that Luke and Elijah got used to it but I don't know. It can't be fun having to always guess if someone likes or hates you and is just tolerating you. I'm gonna go to the bathroom.

[annoyedkayah2395]

Chenice: You said what Nana?

Jabari: Ha! I'm one of your babies

Ray stared back: this is bout my niece.

Tasha sighed tickling AJ: Yeah i guess you right. Kandi, can I talk to you please?

Ari went to stand next to her brother: Whatever grandpa said got to you. And I think that I agree with him and you should break the ice. Show the side we see.

Ardian sighed nodding: Yeah... Yeah... Fuck.

[thatssonanii]

Nana Jones: I think you heard me. He loves you, I can see it.

Grandma Jones laughed: Yes you are. As long as it's okay with you.

Tyrell: Its about yall too. Mean ass.

AJ giggled and wiggled around.

Kandice smiled: Sure. Is something wrong?

Haleigh used the bathroom then looked around the living room at all the family pictures

[annoyedkayah2395]

Chenice smiled: He treats me really good Nana.

Tasha kissed AJ cheek: I am very stubborn. Don't say anything smart. But I do like you and I am sorry if it doesn't seem like it. My parents raised me to have sense... sometimes

Jabari: of course it is Grandma!

Ray: What I say?

Ardian approached Roman: Mr. Reigns... Pop... Wanna play a little basketball game before Granda gives us our instructions? My team vs your team?

Grandpa Jones smiled at Haleigh: We have to put more pictures up that grand boy sent us from the father's day brunch

[thatssonanii]

Nana Jones smiled: Good, I knew it. And how are you treating him?

Kandice laughed softly: Not saying anything smart. Its okay, just figured you were still warning up. I'm sorry if I annoyed you, I can be too bubbly when I like people.

Grandma Jones laughed: Ari did good picking you.

Tyrell: Don't care. You heard what i said.

Roman glanced at him and smiled: You wanna play ball with me? Sure.

Haleigh smiled: I can't believe i didn't know he sent those

[annoyedkayah2395]

Chenice : I hope good nana. I hope so.

Jabari smiled: Yeah? She really said let me like the mean one.

Tasha smiled: Bubbly don't bother me you see Ari and Nova. But I like you too fun gyal

Ardian nodded: Luke and Elijah with me of course.

Luke grinned: Before yall even attempt uncle Amell with us.

Grandpa Jones: Yeah he did. Every picture... accomplishment he shares it with us.

Ari smiled watching her mommy and big brother with the twins: See look at mommy and big brother

[thatssonanii]

Nana Jones: He's still here asks happy so I'd say you are.

Grandma Jones: Cause she saw what ride you had in there beyond that mean exterior

Kandice smiled: Wasn't sure. Good. Sooo

Roman shook his head laughing: Nah, nah, don't work that way. Ardian made his 2 picks, I get my 2 picks now. Amell and Jim.

Elijah: Ardian, you should've picked me and Uncle Mel.

Haleigh: I don't know how I feel about that. He's so proud of Sarai. Loves her like she's apart of him.

Isa scrunched her face: Eew they be nice

[annoyedkayah2395]

Chenice smiled: Thank you nana. Do you like all of us?

Tasha glanced at her chuckling: Out with it.

Jabari: Long as her and you guys see it that's all that matters

Ardian laughed: Uncle Ray and Uncle Jey.

Jimmy snorted: Jey sucks at basketball

Grandpa Jones smiled: He's not only proud of Sarai. He's proud of you too. Whenever you had a paper due he call and brag about how you got an a because you that smart.

Nova giggled: Yay mommy and big brother

[thatssonanii]

Nana Jones: You all wouldn't be here if I didn't.

Kandice laughed: We besties now? Or no?

Grandma Jones: Good answer

Jey sucked his teeth: I do not.

Roman: Uuuh Rich and Ty.

Haleigh laughed softly: I can believe it. He acts like this is all for me and her but I know he's enjoying having this. I wouldn't be with him if I thought or found out that he didn't. It would feel like pity and I never needed that.

Isa: Yay, I guess. They happy, Ari?

[annoyedkayah2395]

Melanii: thank you for telling me.

KJ: Ma! You hear that?

Ray chuckled: Yall are welcome.

Kai moved closer to his mother: Yes ma'am

Nana Jones: We can have 5 more minutes together.

Harmony shushed her friend whispering: Yes and the pics are safe

Grandpa Jones: You not lying to me diamond?

Ardian chuckled: My bad Junie

Rezar: That's the mean twin one? @thatssonanii

[thatssonanii]

Bree nodded: No problem. I do what I can.

Tia chuckled: I heard it, KJ. What do you want me to do?

Kia popped him: I know you didn't bring a girl in here, give her food and not introduce her. Too busy smiling at her

Carlito smiled: I'd like that, Nana. I like having you to myself

JuJu squealed softly then whispered: Lemme see, lemme see. Did you tell your auntie or no?

Haleigh shook her head: Not really, no. I'll be alright

Roman chuckled: Technically Melly is the meanest one of the triplets. But out of the boys, Mikey is the meanest.

[annoyedkayah2395]

As promised Kai grabbed Bree hand and started dancing with her speaking softly to her: You good?

Hazel chuckled watching her daughter: oh that's who her dance partner is

Ray chuckled: Better be lucky the day over for us.

Nana Jones glanced at Lito then looked at Tilda

Ardian tapped his wife: aight mamas you can't tell me no

[thatssonanii]

Bree nodded dancing with him: Yeah, I'm okay. Trying to be cordial with her.

Apryl nodded: Yup that's Kai. He's the level headed cousin.

Tyrell: You good, big bro?

Grandma Jones spoke softly: I'm listening

Haleigh laughed: Hmmm I can't?

Melanii: Wanna dance, Lito?

[annoyedkayah2395]

Kai: And how is that going?

Hazel: Oh he's the one that make sure everything stays smooth?

Ray looked at his fathers picture and nodded: Yeah man. You?

Mir went to grab his camera to take pictures

Kia rubbed her temples: so not only is he happy feet but he got a girlfriend.

Nana Jones spoke softly: we gonna have to be patient with my baby.

Ardian grinned: Nope

Carlito shook his head: Nah we can just sit and talk.

[thatssonanii]

Bree shrugged: She only wanted to ask me about Nonna and she gave me a compliment. Other than that, she really didn't wanna talk to me. Which i figured

Apryl nodded: Yup, that's him. He's the daddy-cousin.

Tyrell shrugged: I always am. Ain't I l?

Junie helped his brother.

Kalina laughed: He's checking on Bree. And you know we have handsome sons, it was bound to happen

Grandma Jones: Yes, we are. You're right. He's young

Haleigh: Well let's go, Mr. Bekim.

Melanii nodded: Okay. What do you wanna talk about?

[annoyedkayah2395]

Kai mumbled: why she asking bout Auntie?

Hazel laughed: Poor baby I know he stay stressed

Kia stared at her: Who's side you on?

Ray pulled him outside: Talk to me and don't lie to me. What's wrong?

Nana jones: but how do we feel about his girlfriend?

Ardian: I'm sending you away for a week

Carlito: Did you have fun? Did you like the food?

[thatssonanii]

Bree: She can tell that Nonna doesn't like her or thinks she doesn't. Which ... is probably not entirely false.

Apryl laughed: Oooh always. But they listen to him. It's cute.

Kalina laughed and hugged her side: I'm on your but I'm just saying.

Tyrell shook his head: Nothing, I'm good. Just thinking about speedy, bope i gave him advice that pop would've. It's hard without him.

Grandma Jones: She's a nice girl. I think that jealousy brings out the ugliness that was already inside of us.

Haleigh frowned: Uhn uhn. A week? Ardi, no.

Melanii: The good was great like usual. I had fun, it was cool. You wanna come over when you're done here?

[annoyedkayah2395]

Kai snorted: Auntie just protective...

Kia pinched her: he's not my baby anymore

Nana Jones: a learning experience but our baby got it

Ray nodded: Yeah speedy don't look at this holiday the same. Shit we don't either. What you tell him?

Ardian grinned: Nah mamas.. you gonna go. I want you to not be in mommy mode.

Carlito: Nah.. I wanna hang with the old man and my siblings today. See how talented Mir is with the camera?

[thatssonanii]

Bree: Yeah, she is. But i also know she don't like mess. Anyway ... when after you gonna go out with Faidra?

Kalina hissed and laughed: Stop pinching me. No you mean he's not a baby anymore but he'll always be your baby.

Grandma Jones: Yes he does. He's smart. Same way Ardian figured it out, he will.

Tyrell shook his head: No. That not what I meant. I'm talking about the advice I gave him about Lito.

Haleigh shook her head: No, Ardi. I can't leave yall for a week. Could you imagine you with the five of them for seven days? No. I thought you were talking about something else not sending me away.

Melanii nodded: Okay. Yeah, he's very talented.

[annoyedkayah2395]

Kai: man.... don't you start Bree.

Hazel: Wait.. if Kai is the level headed one who's the trouble maker?

Junie put a piece of paper in front of tasha: That's going on your menu. You're welcome.

Nana Jones nodded: I hope so Tilda. Think uh... Re..

Ray rubbed his face: Aiden been discussing it.. what the fuck been happening?

Tasha stared at Junie then the paper

Ardian: I want you to. I don't want you burning yourself out or anything. I want you take this break please.

Carlito: Come on gotta show you my grandpas.

[thatssonanii]

Bree laughed: I'm just asking. She's pretty and you clearly like her.

Apryl snorted: Pick one. Aiden, Lil Nico and Malik.

Amir took a picture them smiled: Please, Nonna

Grandma Jones nodded giving her time to finish.

Tyrell: Basically Melanii don't want Lito around Bree. Told him that she couldn't ride with them in his car to whatever party. He spent that whole party not talking to none of them.

Kandice laughed: Say yes, Tasha

Haleigh: Baby ... I'm okay. I'm gonna miss yall too bad

[annoyedkayah2395]

Kai: When the time is right. Speaking of why you don't have anybody special?

Tasha: Get out my face.

Hazel laughed: Malik is his little brother right?

Ray rubbed his face: But she ain't buy that. Fuck

Nana Jones: Re... rezar.. think he take us home?

Junie grinned: That means yes. Come on Mir.

Ardian: We got FaceTime. Please mamas. I want you out of mommy and wife mode

[thatssonanii]

Bree frowned a little and laughed: For what? I don't need to have somebody. Especially not if they think they're gonna trip about me being friends with Lito and yall. Stress i don't need, I'm too young for that.

Amir giggled and hugged her then went back to taking pictures.

Kandice laughed: They don't care nothing about you being mean

Apryl nodded: Yeah that's his little brother. He love admitting Kai too but don't let nobody bother him.

Tyrell: Right but the issue is she think she can control what he doing tryna keep him to herself cause she scared Bree gon take em. Apparently the boys say stuff where she can hear.

Grandma Jones nodded then called Rezar over: I'm getting pretty tired. Do you mind taking us off, son?

Haleigh's eyes watered: You don't want me home? You hate me?

[annoyedkayah2395]

While Haleigh was away Ardian was bonding with the kids by teaching them different recipes. Ardian: I can't do the coco bread like your Nonna, auntie grandma, and nana but I'm trying. We can make some sandwiches with it

Harmony giggled: you did good daddy

[thatssonanii]

Carlito grinned: You did what you could, old man.

Junie giggled: We gotta taste it first. It might be nasty.

Cali reached trying to get it

[annoyedkayah2395]

Ardian laughed breaking small pieces off for them to try: next time I'll have your Nonna do the recipe. I got your old man.

Mir ate it and smiled: I like it

Harmony ate hers: That's not bad daddy

[thatssonanii]

Junie: Its not Nonna's but I like it, Daddy

Cali smacked on it and reached again.

Carlito laughed: My bad. It's good though, I like it. Cali, you gotta finish that piece first.

[annoyedkayah2395]

Mir giggled: Can't be greedy Cali. Chew that first

Harmony helped Cali

Ardian laughed: Thank yall. We make some sandwiches. Yall get your chips and juice we can have a movie date

[thatssonanii]

Cali babbled excitedlyas she ate.

Junie giggled: We be back, Daddy.

Carlito: Nugget, grab Bubbles so she don't fall. Dad, did you make something for Cali to eat?

[annoyedkayah2395]

Harmony nodded grabbing Cali: We be back.

Ardian nodded: I heated her up some of the rice and peas and shredded up some chicken

[thatssonanii]

Carlito: You gotta blend it, Dad. She's gonna choke on the shredded chicken. We'll be back.

Grandpa Jones bumped him once the kids were gone: He sounds like the dad, not you.

[annoyedkayah2395]

Ardian smiled going to blend Cali food: Yeah he do. You know Pigtails is my brains when it comes to the kids. But she needed the break.

[thatssonanii]

Grandpa Jones chuckled: She is and she did. Where'd she go?

[annoyedkayah2395]

Ardian: a 7 day cruise. Got the spa treatment and all that good stuff I know she needed. She didn't want to go but she had to.

[thatssonanii]

Grandpa Jones whistled and laughed: She is gonna get you when she gets back. You know how hard it is to make a call from a cruise ship? Well deserved though. You sent her alone?

[annoyedkayah2395]

Ardian laughed: I know but I want her to unwind and not think bout what could be going wrong here. Nah I sent her with the in laws, nicey, and Morgan. Try the bread grandpa

[thatssonanii]

Grandpa Jones laughed and tried it: Pretty good, I think your missing something. The secret ingredient. Well you know she's gonna think about that but hopefully not as much. She doesn't trust you not to be one of her kids which is fair

[annoyedkayah2395]

Ardian: What's the secret ingredient? Fussing? I know she thinks I'm go out and buy a dinosaur

[thatssonanii]

Grandpa Jones chuckled: Good guess. Sprinkle of nutmeg. Yes she does but you know better. Don't you?

[annoyedkayah2395]

Ardian pouted: Yes sir I do.

[thatssonanii]

Grandpa Jones: Good. Good thing is the kids are old enough to be self sufficient except Cali. However they are big enough to tell on you.

[annoyedkayah2395]

Ardian: They tell on me but they want me keep they bad deeds to myself.

[thatssonanii]

Grandpa Jones laughed: Life of a father. You and Cali doing okay?

[annoyedkayah2395]

Ardian nodded: Yeah I think we are. She smiles at me and talks to me. Especially when her big brothers or nugget do something for her

[thatssonanii]

Grandpa Jones: Good, enjoy it. Your crew is coming back, I'll check on you later.

[annoyedkayah2395]

Ardian smiled taking the sandwich meat out the refrigerator then checked his phone checking the reviews for Tasha restaurant

Mir giggled: We back! I got you a soda and chips for your sandwich daddy.

[thatssonanii]

Carlito peeked over his shoulder: What you doing, old man?

Junie: And we got Cali pudding.

Harmony adjusted Cali in her hip: You make her food?

[annoyedkayah2395]

Ardian smiled: Thank yall and yes I did. Checking your Nonna reviews. So far so good. One night we can have dinner there

Mir grinned: That's our Nonna!

Cali babbled loudly

[thatssonanii]

Carlito grinned: I'm proud of Nonna. We can do that. Umm Dad, the cousins wanna go to a pool party tonight. Can I?

Junie: Nonna do good because I helped her pick dishes!

Harmony: Say yaaaay, Bubbles. Your girlfriend going too so yall can be in the corner together?

Harmony and the twins made kissing noises.

[annoyedkayah2395]

Ardian became sad but shook it off: Who all gonna be there and do the parents know? And do Melanii parents know?

Cali giggled

[thatssonanii]

Carlito watched his dad: I won't go if you don't want me too. You don't look like you want me to go. They'll be alright without me tonight. Besides my cousins I don't know. Lanii wasnt going. Ima stay here though, don't worry about it.

[annoyedkayah2395]

Ardian frowned a little: Nah I want you go but i also don't want you getting into trouble. People you don't know? Parents aren't there?

Harmony stared: Wait... how daddy know that

[thatssonanii]

Carlito: You looked sad like you don't want me to go. I'll stay home. Parents not there. We ain't gon get in no trouble, we always good. I'm sure it'll be people there we know.

Junie shrugged: He like Mommy and know everything i guess.

[annoyedkayah2395]

Ardian: You can go Lil Man. Go have fun

Mir was fixing his sandwich

[thatssonanii]

Carlito stepped outside the kitchen with his dad: I'm still gonna eat dinner and watch a movie with y'all. Is that why you looked sad? Cause you thought i wasn't gonna spend time with y'all? Or you just ain't want me to go at all? Be honest with me, Dad.

Junie fixed his sandwich: Chicken nugget, do you go to parties?

[annoyedkayah2395]

Ardian shook his head: Nah just the dad blues that's all. I promise I'm good. Go to the party Lil Man... I'm not liking the whole parents not being there but I trust you and your cousins to leave when shit goes left

Harmony shook her head: No. Do the twins go to parties

Mir giggled: Junie don't like people

[thatssonanii]

Carlito was still unsure but nodded, smiling a bit: Okay, Dad. Parents are never at the parties we go to.

Junie shook her head: We been to birthday parties and stuff. But that's it. You don't like parties or mommy tell you no?

Cali grabbed a piece of turkey trying to stuff it in her mouth.

[annoyedkayah2395]

Ardian smiled grabbing one of his cards: curfew is 12 but in case yall leave early. Yall can get some snacks or something. Anything happens call. Aight?

Mir grabbed the turkey quickly breaking it up: Bubbles you can't do that. You can choke.

Harmony smiled: Good job Mir. Mommy tells me no but it's okay I like hanging with ny little brothers and my best friend Juju.

[thatssonanii]

Carlito took it smiling: Bet, thanks. But can I get a extra hour? We gon go to Waffle House after and I still gotta drop KJ and em back off.

Junie; Good job, Mir. You a good big brother like Lito and Daddy. We like hanging with you too, chicken nugget.

Cali frowned but ate anyway

[annoyedkayah2395]

Ardian nodded: No later than 1:30

Mir grinned: Thank you Junie. Good job Cali

Harmony kissed his head: Thank you

[thatssonanii]

Carlito grinned and hugged him to thank him then went back to the kitchen: Uh oh, Cali what you eating?

Junie giggled: She grabbed the turkey but Mir made sure she didn't choke.

Cali babbled excitedly to Carlito then snatched a pickle to suck on. Her face scrunched at the sourness

[annoyedkayah2395]

Ardian laughed: Good job Mir. It's sour Bubbles?

Harmony giggled: Why you snatch the pickle bubbles?

Mir giggled: Thank you

[thatssonanii]

Carlito laughed watching her: It's sour but she not letting go. Take a video and send it to twin, dad.

Junie giggled: She greedy like Daddy

Cali giggled but kept the pickle in her mouth.

[annoyedkayah2395]

Ardian recorded his kids sending it to his wife: sandwiches made?

Mir kissed Cali cheek: it's okay to be greedy. Yes sir mine is made

Harmony laughed: Kinda like when I had a lemon for the first time. Yes mine is made and we chose sharktale

[thatssonanii]

Carlito: I'm almost done. Yall go head and get started. Exactly like that, Nugget. Your face was tore up but you kept going.

Junie: Yes sir, it's made. You right, Mir. We all get that from Daddy. Chicken Nugget ate lemons?

Cali threw the pickle down then reached for Harmony sandwhich.

[annoyedkayah2395]

Ardian rubbed his head picking the pickle up: Bubbles no.

Mir: Can't be doing that bubbles

Harmony giggled: Yes I did and bubbles we don't do that

[thatssonanii]

Cali poked her lip out and cried.

Carlito picked her up and rocked her: Its alright, Cali. I know you hungry but that's not yours. Dad, got you some food. And you can have the pickle.

Junie: Bubbles probably hungry. I think it's been a long time since she ate, Daddy.

[annoyedkayah2395]

Ardian took them to their little movie theater making sure they were set up putting Sharktale on: come on Cali so daddy can feed you

Mir wiggled: I think daddy should do a little upgrade on the movie theater

[thatssonanii]

Cali reached for him giggling.

Junie: Me too! It's time

Carlito smiled: Yeah, what kinda upgrade you thinking, Mir?

[annoyedkayah2395]

Mir smiled: I think we should repaint it. Get another TV. Hang posters up. Pictures. And vending machines

Ardian chuckled grabbing Cali so he could feed her listening

Harmony: Ooooh cause we do need to hang some of Mir pictures up

[thatssonanii]

Junie: Yeah mir got nice pictures! And we can put up mommy favorite picture of her and daddy.

Carlito chewed his food up: So vending machines along with the lil concession area? We charging the cousins.

Cali bounced excitedly trying to get to the spoon

[annoyedkayah2395]

Mir smiled: Thank you. Yeah and we get to switch the snacks out and do different ones. And Lito can draw something cause he a good drawer and Junie can make us a Playlist

Harmony: I like those ideas.

Ardian smiled feeding Cali: Good bubbles?

[thatssonanii]

Junie: I like that, Mir. You have good ideas like Mommy.

Carlito: You really want me to draw something?

Cali wiggled and smacked on her food.

[annoyedkayah2395]

Mir grinned: Thank you Junie. Yeah I do Lito

Harmony: And we gotta hang mommy poster up

Ardian smiled: Taste good?

[thatssonanii]

Junie: You welcome. And yours too, chicken nugget, from the tour!

Carlito smiled: I got you, Mir. Ima do it that.

Cali giggled and leaned against him

[annoyedkayah2395]

Once Lito left Ardian made sure the twins and Harmony took their showers then went to clean up calling his wife

[thatssonanii]

Haleigh answered sitting up against her headboard: My big baby! Hiiii

Carlito pulled up to his grandparents house and texted his cousins to let them know he was outside

[annoyedkayah2395]

Ardian grinned: Pigtails! Hiiiiii mamas. How are you?

KJ ran out jumping in the front seat: what up menace!

[thatssonanii]

Haleigh grinned: I miss my babies but I'm good. I'm having fun. How are you? Are you getting beat up?

Jah and Dash hopped in the backseat.

Jah squeezed Carlito shoulder: What's up, big cuz?

[annoyedkayah2395]

Ardian smiled: Good exactly what I wanted. I'm good. Yeah I am but it's worth it. The bekim babies want to upgrade the movie theater

Dash: This car nice. Auntie or Unc's?

Carlito laughed: this mine

[thatssonanii]

Haleigh laughed softly: Of course they do. And we're going to do, aren't we? Is Cali okay?

KJ looked around: So this the car Melanii thought she could control? I mean shit nice as hell but cant let her do that.

Jah: This roomy as hell too. What you be doing in this backseat, menace? You cleaned it?

[annoyedkayah2395]

Ardian: Yeah we are. Paint job and everything. Vending machines as well. Yeah bubbles good. She tried a pickle then tried to take nugget sandwich

Dash hit KJ shaking his head

Carlito chuckled: My little brothers and sisters be back there with their snacks. Yes I cleaned it. She don't think she can control it

[thatssonanii]

Haleigh laughed I love that they wanna do that. How did she like the pickle? Nooo she tried to take gremlin sandwich. My baby was hungry.

KJ laughed and put the addressin the gps: Man, I'm just saying. Let's go, menace. I told Aiden we was gonna beat em there.

Jah laughed: Suuuure and it only be my siblings in my backseat too.

[annoyedkayah2395]

Ardian made Cali exact face: But she didn't let the pickle go. Did you get the video I sent?

Carlito laughed driving them to the house: My dad gave me a extra hour so no later than 1:30.

[thatssonanii]

Haleigh laughed: I can't with her. I did but I called my big baby first before I looked. Where my other babies?

KJ nodded: We can leave about 12:30. Aye there go the rest of em ... we beat em!

[annoyedkayah2395]

Ardian grinned: I'm your big baby! Me! Lito went to a pool party one of his cousins met a girl. The other three taking showers.

Carlito laughed stepping out: here we go

Aiden: Aye yall cheated!

[thatssonanii]

Haleigh smiled: Yeah m Yes, you're my big baby. Let me guess, Jah or KJ. You forgot one. Where's my mini me?

KJ laughed: Nah, my boy. You just drive like a granny. You beat Rik though.

Dash slapped hands with Aiden: What's up, cuzzo?

[annoyedkayah2395]

Ardian grabbed Cali showing her to his wife: say hey mommy

Aiden laughed: Nah I don't. Not trying get my ass beat. Nothing much ready for this pool party. Pretty princess joining us

Carlito mumbled: Don't start

[thatssonanii]

Cali giggled and babbled excitedly.

Haleigh smiled: There's mommy's mini me! Hiii my little baby. She look like she ready to go to sleep, y'all wore my baby out.

KJ glanced at Carlito then shook his head: Nah. He ain't wanna get in trouble so just us.

Malik snorted: But we wanted her here though. She fun and she let me say stuff that Kai don't.

Rik stared then wiped a hand over his face: Let's go inside. Don't none of y'all get us in trouble.... Malik, Lil Nico, Menace, KJ and Jah.

[annoyedkayah2395]

Ardian laughed: Yeah she been playing and eating and bullying me. Look just like you, Pigtails

Kai hit his brother; They not Rik.

Lil Nico grinned: No promises

Carlito mumbled

[thatssonanii]

Cali babbled to Haleigh and hit Ardian.

Haleigh laughed: Daddy did all that? You had to hit him? Yeah she does, my mini. Have you been sleeping and not drinking energy drinks?

Malik flinched: Aye, see? This is what I was talking about.

AJ hit his cousin: Auntie Ky said to behave.

KJ walked them into the backyard gate and looked around grinning: Damn, it's a ass of people. Lemme find shawty before she lose her spot.

[annoyedkayah2395]

Ardian made biting noises at Cali: I've been sleeping. I've had one ghost. Just one mamas.

Lil Nico scrunched his face: Long as she not bossy

Aiden laughed: It's some cute girls in here but Kai, Lito and Rik spoken for

[thatssonanii]

Cali hit him again and babbled at him.

Haleigh laughed: She gonna get you. Don't have anymore, Ardi. No more. What did yall have for dinner?

KJ frowned: Hell nah. My mama would beat my ass if I let her do that. Besides I'm only here for a few weeks, I'm just having fun. Found her, I'll be back.

Malik: Right so yall go find yall something safe to do. We gotta go look around.

Jah grinned: We gotta go see what we see.

[annoyedkayah2395]

Ardian bit Cali hands playfully: I got you mamas. I made homemade coco bread and we made sandwiches.

The cousins were walking around

Carlito: I'm buying waffle house for us when we leave

Kai nodded: Preciate that Cuz

[thatssonanii]

Cali growled at Ardian

Haleigh laughed: Alright, leave my little baby alone. Sounds good, I'm jealous though. You never made coco bread for me, Ardi.

Lil Nico grinned: That mean i get to keep my money. Good lookin out, menace.

Malik squinted then laughed and hit Aiden and AJ's arms. He spoke lowly: Aye ... ain't that Bree in that girl lap?

[annoyedkayah2395]

Ardian growled back smiling: When you come back I'll make it for you. Be our date night

Aiden looked then grinned: Well I be damned. Let's go say hi. Pretty princess, Bree is here

Carlito laughed: Yeah whatever. She is? She usually come says hi

Kai shook his head knowing: The three stooges

[thatssonanii]

Cali giggled and laid her head on his shoulder.

Haleigh: Deal. My baby sleepy, lay her down. Has she been sleeping in her crib?

Malik walked over with them and tapped Bree on the shoulder grinning: What's up, Bree?

Lil Nico grinned: You replacing us?

Bree laughed and got up: Of course yall would find me. No I'm not replacing yall. Hey pretty princess.

[annoyedkayah2395]

Ardian laid Cali down making sure she was comfortable: Yeah she has. So tell me what you been doing mamas?

Kai looked between Skyee and Bree nodding slowly: Aiden, Lil Nico, and Malik keep it cute and I mean it.

Aiden grinned at Skyee: What's up? What's your name and how you know Bree?

Carlito smiled going to hug her: Why you didn't tell me you was coming ? Who you with?

[thatssonanii]

Haleigh watched him and pouted: I miss my little baby. Umm we had port day today so we went snorkeling, did some shopping, took pictures. Uuh on the ship I've gone to the spa, the comedy show, we ate a bunch and had drinks.

Skye laughed as she got up and waved: Hey. I'm Skye. Me and her met at the mall not too long ago.

Malik sucked his teeth: I do what I want. Anyway, I'm Malik. Bree's favorite.

Bree hugged him and laughed: Aiden's my favorite, you're second cause you didn't share with me, Malik. I'm with Skye. Her friend is throwing the party and she wanted me to come with her. Where's your other half, pretty princess?

[annoyedkayah2395]

Ardian removed his shirt getting comfortable: Yeah? Good. I'm glad you had an eventful day. She miss you too but mommy needed this break.

Aiden: I'm Aiden. The mall huh? Yall was looking very comfortable.

Rik: I'm Rik and I have a twin name Nika. Nice to meet you

Kai hit his brother: I'm Kai. Nice to meet you.

AJ smirked: I'm AJ and this my cousin Jayceon but we call him Lil Nico. Nice to meet you

Carlito: KJ said don't bring her. Hi Skyee, I'm lito.

[thatssonanii]

Haleigh raised a brow: Yes, I did. I miss seeing that every day. What have you been doing?

Malik sucked his teeth and laughed: Don't be hitting on me, ignore Kai, he boring. Man, that was one time. Real comfortable. I like ya hair.

Lil Nico grinned looking between them then frowned: Stop telling people my name Jayceon. Anyway, we interrupt something?

Skye laughed: Thank you. Nice to meet yall. Bree told me all about yall. Especially you, Lito. I need to go check on my friend real quick. I'll be back, beautiful.

Skye squeezed Bree's side and kissed her cheek.

Bree blushed a little asks smiled: Okay, I'll probably be with them. But text if you can't find me. Yall are fine, you didn't interrupt nothing, we were just talking. Oooh since when you listen to KJ, princess?

[annoyedkayah2395]

Ardian flexed: Working out. Making sure the bekim kids behave. I got a little zoom call with Nas one day this week. I'm nervous

Aiden grinned at Bree: You like her?

Carlito watched the interaction: I feel like you didn't tell me something Bree

AJ: That she could've been liking melanii instead of you.

Kai rubbed his temples: This is why I'm the manager. Bree we like skyee. Long as she treat you right.

[thatssonanii]

Haleigh got distracted for a second: It shows. Don't be nervous. You rapping again?

Bree laughed: Maybe a little, Aiden. Thank you, Kai. We're just talking right now. I honestly hadn't told anybody yet, Lito. I didn't know how but since yall are here and saw me. I'm bi. Is that a problem?

Malik smiled: Nah ain't no problem with me. That's crazy, Melanii worried about Bree taking you when you should've been worried about Bree taking her.

Lil Nico laughed: You saw that blush, Kai. Skye definitely treating her right. You got good taste, Bree. She's pretty. But wait ... are yall like both fems? Or like one of y'all a stud and the other a fem? Or yall both studs?

[annoyedkayah2395]

Ardian grinned: You like it? Yes I do. Been practicing a little.

Kai: Of course it isn't Bree. I hate agreeing with my brother but he got a point

Rik snorted: I hate agreeing with Malik too

Aiden laughed: shit ain't no issue with me.

Carlito smiled: Of course not. Long as you happy bree.

[thatssonanii]

Haleigh: You know I do, Ardi. All it took was a video call with him to get you to rap? If i would've known that, I would've made it happen sooner.

Bree covered her laugh: I mean we're both fems but she's a little masculine sometimes. I appreciate the support.

Skye called out to Bree, she promised to find them before she left then went to Skye.

Malik, Lil Nico and AJ turned to grin at Carlito.

Malik: That's crazy. You got your girl stolen by another girl. Damn

[annoyedkayah2395]

Ardian laughed: and see I was gonna give you a little show while i took my shower. But you know I like to be behind the scenes mamas

Kai: Yall leave Carlito alone.

Aiden: Nah we gon fuck with the pretty princess

AJ: Damn melanii was worried about the wrong shit.

[thatssonanii]

Haleigh laughed: Aht aht, you're still going too. Says the actor and model. No behind the scenes, you should be in front of the camera sometimes.

Malik laughed: You know we can't do that.

Lil Nico shrugged: He should've been like Uncle Lo. Clearly she would've been down for it.

Carlito sucked his teeth at his cousins: I never said I liked Bree in the first place to even do that. Yall think she really like girls or she just doing that?

[annoyedkayah2395]

Ardian smirked: I mean I do like being in front of the camera with you

Rik looked: Yeah she do. Yall seen that blush on her face.

AJ: You good Lito?

Kai: And she was very comfortable sitting in her lap

[thatssonanii]

Haleigh smiled: Well when I come home we can do it again.

Malik: And Skye clearly like her too.

Aiden: She was in her lap like Lanii be in yours.

Carlito folded his arms for a second then nodded: Yeah, I'm good. I'm straight. Long as she happy.

[annoyedkayah2395]

Junie, Mir, and Harmony ran in the room: Daddy!

Ardian held his ear: Twin 1 and twin 2 and nugget im on the phone with your mommy

Kai watched Carlito: Let's just enjoy the party

Rik hit Carlito back: Yeah come on

AJ flinched: Rik you heavy handed

[thatssonanii]

Haleigh: Hey, babies. Hey gremlin. Everything okay?

Junie climbed in the bed and took the phone: Mommy! It's you!

Carlito hissed: Damn, Rik. Ima get something to drink.

Aiden laughed: You ain't going without us, you not getting away that easy, bruh.

[annoyedkayah2395]

Harmony snatched the phone: Hi mommy! Everything is okay! You okay?

Mir giggled jumping on Ardian: Hi mommy!

Ardian chuckled

The cousins got their drinks

AJ nudged Lito: Stop looking over there

[thatssonanii]

Junie frowned: Heeeeey! I was talking to mommy!

Haleigh laughed: Hey babies. Nugget, sit where they can see too. I miss yall.

Carlito frowned a little then cleared his throat: I was just making sure she was aight. We don't know that girl.

Aiden smirked: Riiiiight. That's why.

[annoyedkayah2395]

Harmony giggled setting the phone up: I was mommy. See Fuss Pot. We miss you too

Mir bit Ardian

Ardian hissed

AJ: Well Bree does and she likes her a lot.

Kai shook his head: Leave lito alone. Bree is good man. She good

[thatssonanii]

Junie giggled mischievously: Thank you, Chicken nugget. Mommy, I asked Daddy if ... if he miss you and he said no cause you steal his blanket.

Haleigh laughed: Thank you, gremlin. Get him, Mir. Your daddy said that? Ardian, you don't miss me?

Carlito: Aight, yall the ones keep asking me about it. I'm good too.

Malik snickered: Damn you bothered. You ain't choose her so Skye did.

[annoyedkayah2395]

Ardian got distracted then got super kicked by Mir: Damn it Mir.

Mir giggled

Harmony giggled: Daddy got super kicked!

Kai hit his brother: Leave him alone

Rik laughed

[thatssonanii]

Junie laughed: Good job, Mir Mir!

Haleigh laughed: That's what you get for saying you don't miss me.

Malik laughed: Did I lie though?

Carlito rolled his eyes: Yall irritating, yall know that?

Aiden grinned: Not as irritating as this situation is to you.

AJ: Payback for you getting us in trouble if you think about it

[annoyedkayah2395]

Mir giggled: Thank you. Hi mommy! What you doing? You need money? Daddy send mommy money? You eat?

Harmony laughed: Hows the cruise?

Ardian grumbled: I do miss my Pigtails

Kai laughed

Rik chuckled: You be cool Lito. You got us to lean on

Lil Nico: And having auntie fuss at us

[thatssonanii]

Junie: You been drinking water, mommy?

Haleigh laughed: So many questions. I'm just laying in my bed, Daddy sends me money twice a day, yes I ate and yes I drink water. It's fun, gremlin. Are you three being good?

Carlito stared at them and cracked a smile: Only fiend is, I'm actually funny and yall ain't

Malik shrugged playfully: We might not be but having your girl stole by light skin is.

Bree and Skye moved back to their seat.

Bree: I'm sorry, I didn't expect them to be here. I got you didn't feel awkward

[annoyedkayah2395]

Harmony: I am mommy. When you coming back home?

Ardian grumbled

Mir giggled: Me and Junie being good too. I listen to them mommy

Skye smiled: Am I complaining? It's fine. Are you okay?

Kai snorted

Aiden: There Bree go now Lito. All booed up

[thatssonanii]

Junie giggled: I'm like I always am, Mommy.

Haleigh laughed: I ... okay. I'm glad my babies are being good. I'll be home in 2 days. I love yall. Can I finish talking to daddy?

Bree laughed softly and kissed her: I'm just making sure. I'm alright, wasn't expecting to tell them yet. What do you think of them?

Carlito looked: Aiden, if Auntie Mo wouldn't whoop my ass. They look cool together.

Malik snickered: You really let her steal your girl.

[megamindsecretlair]

Daemon's like "I will happily commit the most heinous war crimes for you, my beloved queen, but do not ever ask me to pretend to pray in a sept AGAIN 😒"

Yes 😭🤣🤣🤣🤣

He said ew its poor in here, dont ever summon me here again 🤣🤣🤣🤣

I adore when they slip into High Valyrian together 😭

[annoyedkayah2395]

Once the food was done they were sitting outside eating. Ardian, Ari, and the twins were wiggling while they ate

Monique smiled: yall always cook enough to feed the neighborhood

Aj grinned grabbing a rib

Luke grinned: How often yall host barbeques?

Jabari smiled: This good, grandpa.

Tyrell: Pop, we need these barbecue sauces. Help your boys with our restaurant. @thatssonanii

[thatssonanii]

Grandma Jones laughed: Because the men and children in this family eat enough for a neighborhood of people.

Melinda: AJ, that's bigger than you.

Grandpa Jones: As often as I can get everybody here. Maybe I'll come down and teach you boys. Thank you, Jabari.

Haleigh laughed watching Ardian and his siblings: Yall all do that wiggle. The food is good though so I get it

[annoyedkayah2395]

Queenie laughed: We can tell Mama Jones.

Elijah: Well we gonna be here everytime. Long as a certain somebody invites us

AJ giggled trying to bite it

Ardian grinned: Yall still give food to that shelter? We don't mind taking a few plates to them. Wait who's the certain somebody?

Ray: Long as brat and Ty know im getting the recipe first

Tasha: Ray don't get cussed out. You get nothing first. I do.

[thatssonanii]

Grandma Jones laughed: Looks like your husbands are the same.

Luke: You, Ardian. You the certain somebody.

Melinda helped him: There. That better?

Tyrell: No, I'm the best child. I get it first.

Grandpa Jones: We do. I was going to take some later. Yall are always welcome. Don't argue. The oldest gets the recipe first.

Haleigh popped Jabari hand: Move, you have your own.

[annoyedkayah2395]

Trinity laughed: They gonna be asking Pop Jones for recipes

Ray smirked

Ardian: Fine but don't get too comfortable around my grandparents. Can we help grandpa? I can get some snacks and stuff and some candy for them.

AJ: tank you!

Tasha cussed her brother out in Patios

Monique laughed: this why nephew cuss people out in Albanian

Jabari pouted: Yeah but I'm your little brother. Can I help grandpa?

[thatssonanii]

Jimmy grinned: And he's gonna help us. Don't be jealous that he ain't gonna give it to you.

Luke frowned: Aye, be nice to us. Grandma Jones said you had to.

Melinda: You welcome, baby.

Tyrell: Wait what? How he get to?

Grandpa Jones chuckled: Tasha, be nice. Tyrell, calm down. I'm not dating that you two won't get them. I'm just saying Ray will be first. You may help, Adrian but you won't pay. You too, Jabari

Haleigh popped him again: Don't care. You steal from Ari not me.

[annoyedkayah2395]

Queenie laughed; nobody jealous Jimmy

Roman: Me and my cousins don't mind helping. What all do yall give to the shelter?

AJ ate his ribs

Nana Jones smiled: Chunky. Tash. I thought my babies were going to be nice

Ray grinned

Tasha: Yes nana.

Ardian: Yes nana. I'm be nice. Fine yall can share my.. our family. I'm not paying? You sure grandpa? Me and my brothers don't mind.

Elijah nodded:

Jabari hissed then stoled from Nova who giggled: Isa bites

[thatssonanii]

Jimmy laughed: Yeah you is, Spring

Grandpa Jones: I don't care that you don't mind. Food, beverages, toiletries, clothes, bedding, gift cards. Things they need

Grandma Jones smiled: Thank you for being nice and sharing.

Isa whispered to her twin.

Nova bit his finger and giggled.

Haleigh snorted: And so does Nova apparently

[annoyedkayah2395]

Queenie laughed: Never Jimmy

Roman stared at Ardian: You never said yall get things for the shelter. We could've gotten it when we were out

Ardian grinned then stared back: You never asked. Aight Grandpa. We got you

Apryl snorted

Jabari hissed: Aye ain't Nova the oldest? I thought we were cool Nova

[thatssonanii]

Jimmy pushed her playfully: Thats what you say now.

Kandice hit her husband's arm laughing: Stop staring at him.

Grandpa Jones: Well now everybody knows and it's okay. I appreciate all the help.

Nova giggled: We are but you touch my food and didn't ask.

Haleigh nudged Ardian smiling: You and my daddy act alike.

[annoyedkayah2395]

Queenie: Trin get your husband

Roman: But he... he.. look at the grin.

Ari: I can help Grandpa?

Monique: Ari you be with us we got you

Jabari made biting noises then frowned at Ari: No no no. What if me and the big brothers gotta shoot somebody?

Morgan laughed: Jabari Grandpa and our uncles not gonna let anything happen to us

Ardian smiled a little at her

[thatssonanii]

Trinity laughed: Leave Queenie alone.

Kandice: And you have the same grin.

Grandpa Jones: Of course you can, babygirl. Jabari.

Grandma Jones frowned, waving her hands to stop him: Hey, uhn uhn. I do not want to hear anymore about shooting people and guns that's inappropriate in front of the children and frankly disrespectful in front of me and your grandfather. My sons don't say it in front of me so neither will anyone else. We're eating and discussing charity.

Apryl: Yes ma'am, I agree.

Haleigh raised a brow at Ardian and whispered: Be nice, you don't have up be a little shit all the time. Please?

[annoyedkayah2395]

Roman: I'm not that bad.

Rich: How much yall usually buy in gift cards?

Nova giggled: Bari got in trouble

AJ giggled

Jabari: Sorry Grandma. My bad. I didn't get in trouble Nova. Who's side you on? Sorry grandpa

Ardian nodded smiling: I got you mamas. Me and ya pops cool

[thatssonanii]

Kandice laughed: Yes, you are.

Grandpa Jones: Honestly, I never really look at the number. I just know it's more than enough. Ray usually looks at the number that's his job. Its okay, Jabari

Isa giggled: He did. Him was bad.

Grandma Jones: It's fine.

Haleigh: Promise?

[annoyedkayah2395]

Roman smiled: Maybe

Rich nodded: I'll help

Apryl: Do yall know the owner of the shelter? We can get them something.

Nana Jones smiled and winked at Jabari

Jabari grinned: I'm liked again!

Luke laughed: Me and my brothers get toys

Ardian grinned: I promise

[thatssonanii]

Kandice laughed: Maybe... okay

Grandpa Jones: We appreciate the help and I know they will too.

Grandma Jones smiled: You were never disliked, Jabari. Correction doesn't mean you're unloved

Morgan: And we can get the female products too

Haleigh closed her eyes for a second: You know I love you

[annoyedkayah2395]

Ray: We always got you pop.

Ty grinned

Chenice squealed: Look at us!

Jabari nodded: Yes grandma.

Ardian kissed her cheek: I love you more.

Nova giggled stealing from Ari plate

[thatssonanii]

Grandpa Jones: That's why I love yall.

Elijah: Being charitable and helping the people. We should do a bank to school drive at home.

Grandma Jones: I love you, okay Jabari?

Haleigh: I picked up with you

Ari gasped: Did my Novie take from my plate?

[annoyedkayah2395]

When they were done Ardian was standing next to Grandpa Jones with Haleigh: That's for Mr. Willie and his wife?

Jabari was standing next to Grandma Jones smiling: I'm sorry for saying what I said. I didn't mean to offend.

Chenice: Nana Jones im gonna be your favorite!

Ray, Ty, and Tasha was standing next to each other watching everybody while Tasha held AJ

[thatssonanii]

Grandpa Jones: Yup that's for them. What you think?

Grandma Jones kissed his head: I accept your apology. I know you didn't.

Nana Jones laughed: I like your spunk. You know that?

Tyrell: What yall thinking?

Haleigh bumped her mama: Still okay?

[annoyedkayah2395]

Chenice squealed: Yall heard that?! Nana likes my spunk!

Jabari grinned: thank you for accepting me.

Ardian looked and nodded: That's good grandpa.

Tasha tickled AJ: I think I need to get paid next time I have to be nice

Ray laughed

Kandice smiled: Yes pretty girl. You? You was right at home

[thatssonanii]

Morgan laughed: We heard it, Nicey. Please.

Nana Jones laughed: You always so happy and that's what everybody needs. You have a sweet spirit and you mean well.

Grandma Jones: You have me no reason not to accept you, Jabari. You are always enough.

Grandpa Jones: Glad I have your approval. What's on your mind?

Tyrell laughed: How much you think would be enough?

Haleigh: Yes ma'am. Cause I am. Home away from home

[annoyedkayah2395]

Chenice: Really nana? My happiness is needed around yall!

Jabari: Yeah? Even if I dont like people? Call people stupid?

Ardian: All of this. I was content with it just being us but I know Pigtails needed this. Wanted this.

Tasha hummed: Until my little heart is happy. Right AJ? What yall two thinking?

Ray: Just watching

Kandice chuckled: this was where he had you and Sassy when we couldn't get in contact with you?

[thatssonanii]

Nana Jones laughed and squeezed her hand: Okay, baby, okay. You don't have to broadcast it all. Some stuff is just for you and I.

Grandma Jones smiled: You're not the only one in this family that does that so those are not deal breakers.

Grandpa Jones: And you needed and wanted this too. Don't leave you out.

Tyrell chuckled: Yeah okay, brat. Same, thinking.

AJ giggled: Yeah!

Haleigh nodded: Yeah we were here. She loved it

[annoyedkayah2395]

Chenice grinned: Thank you nana... for everything.

Jabari: Yeah? Cause ari doll mean alot to me I don't wanna mess it up cause I disappointed yall. Yall mean a lot to me as well

Ardian twisted his mouth glancing at his grandfather

Tasha nodded kissing AJ cheek: Are yall happy?

Ray: I mean this shit nice.

Kandice smiled: I bet they spoil her. He's a lil shit but he loves you

[thatssonanii]

Nana Jones: Thank you for bringing joy no matter what. You are yourself and you do not water it down or adjust for anyone. I know that's why Morgan and Haleigh love you.

Grandma Jones: You will know if you mess up before I ever said a word. But that time won't come.

Grandpa Jones chuckled: Don't twist your lips at me. Keep going, include yourself. Because you absolutely needed and wanted it.

Tyrell: The people I love is happy so am I.

Haleigh laughed: Yes, they do. He is, I told him that he doesn't have to be like that all the time because he's not like that at home with just me and Sassy. I also told him that he's just like Daddy.

[annoyedkayah2395]

Chenice: It is. I try to make sure they're always happy

Jabari hugged her: Thank you Grandma.

Isa yelled: Don't hug my grandma Bari!

Tasha nodded: I'm glad Pretty gyal is getting this

Ardian: I'm not gonna necessarily say I needed it. But I wanted it for my girls. Best you getting grandpa.

Kandice laughed: I told your father the same thing and he denied it. One day they get along. We hope

[thatssonanii]

Nana Jones: I know they make sure youre happy as well. But does Luke make sure?

Grandma Jones laughed: Isabella, are you being like your mama and big brother?

Tyrell kissed her head: I'm glad you and nephew are getting it too.

Grandpa Jones chuckled: Fine, be hard headed like your father in law and dont say it. I know the truth.

Haleigh laughed: One day. Im glad you and Mama Tasha are getting along.

[annoyedkayah2395]

Chenice smiled: Yes he do

Isa giggled: Noooooo

Ardian laughed putting his hands in his pockets: I mean it's cool and all. But you know who my focus is on grandpa

Tasha stared at her brother

AJ giggled

Kandice: Yeah she's our mean gyal. Stubborn as hell. She act like she don't wanna be around us but then we see a different side to her

[thatssonanii]

Nana Jones nodded and smiled: Good, I figured but I had to ask. I like him for you.

Grandma Jones laughed: Uhuh, I'm watching you. Jabari, you okay?

Grandpa Jones stared at him for a moment: You are just as hard headed and stubborn as your mama, maybe more. And the thing about hard headed and stubborn people, they're the lucky ones cause they don't have to deal with it we do.

Tyrell laughed: I ain't lie. You and nephew be acting like yall unaffected and uninterested. Glad niece people ain't the type to be deterred by that

Haleigh nodded: Yeah, Ardian acts like that too. To be honest it's one of the things I don't particularly care for about him but I choose my battles.

[annoyedkayah2395]

Chenice squealed: Really?

Jabari smiled: I'm good grandma. You aight?

Tasha tickled AJ: We just being careful. Is that wrong?

Ray: Nah it ain't

Ardian: Yes I'm stubborn but within good reason grandpa. I'm blessed that we got this. I don't take this granted. I guess I'm still protecting Hae in case things go left.

Kandice: he's stubborn in general or when it comes to you and sassy?

[thatssonanii]

Nana Jones: Yes ma'am. He's a sweetheart. I can tell by how he looks at you that he loves you.

Grandma Jones: As long as my babies are okay, I'm okay

Tyrell stared at them: Careful isn't wrong. You can be careful and still enjoy yourself and act like you like them instead of acting like you hate that they're all here.

Grandpa Jones chuckled to himself: I hear you but I'll leave you with this. You can be protective without checking out. If you constantly keep watch for the other shoe to drop you won't enjoy the other and you just might lose it.

Grandpa Jones squeezed his shoulder then walked off.

Haleigh: In general but today me and Rai. Don't get me wrong I love that he wants to protect me and her and I know that Luke and Elijah got used to it but I don't know. It can't be fun having to always guess if someone likes or hates you and is just tolerating you. I'm gonna go to the bathroom.

[annoyedkayah2395]

Chenice: You said what Nana?

Jabari: Ha! I'm one of your babies

Ray stared back: this is bout my niece.

Tasha sighed tickling AJ: Yeah i guess you right. Kandi, can I talk to you please?

Ari went to stand next to her brother: Whatever grandpa said got to you. And I think that I agree with him and you should break the ice. Show the side we see.

Ardian sighed nodding: Yeah... Yeah... Fuck.

[thatssonanii]

Nana Jones: I think you heard me. He loves you, I can see it.

Grandma Jones laughed: Yes you are. As long as it's okay with you.

Tyrell: Its about yall too. Mean ass.

AJ giggled and wiggled around.

Kandice smiled: Sure. Is something wrong?

Haleigh used the bathroom then looked around the living room at all the family pictures

[annoyedkayah2395]

Chenice smiled: He treats me really good Nana.

Tasha kissed AJ cheek: I am very stubborn. Don't say anything smart. But I do like you and I am sorry if it doesn't seem like it. My parents raised me to have sense... sometimes

Jabari: of course it is Grandma!

Ray: What I say?

Ardian approached Roman: Mr. Reigns... Pop... Wanna play a little basketball game before Granda gives us our instructions? My team vs your team?

Grandpa Jones smiled at Haleigh: We have to put more pictures up that grand boy sent us from the father's day brunch

[thatssonanii]

Nana Jones smiled: Good, I knew it. And how are you treating him?

Kandice laughed softly: Not saying anything smart. Its okay, just figured you were still warning up. I'm sorry if I annoyed you, I can be too bubbly when I like people.

Grandma Jones laughed: Ari did good picking you.

Tyrell: Don't care. You heard what i said.

Roman glanced at him and smiled: You wanna play ball with me? Sure.

Haleigh smiled: I can't believe i didn't know he sent those

[annoyedkayah2395]

Chenice : I hope good nana. I hope so.

Jabari smiled: Yeah? She really said let me like the mean one.

Tasha smiled: Bubbly don't bother me you see Ari and Nova. But I like you too fun gyal

Ardian nodded: Luke and Elijah with me of course.

Luke grinned: Before yall even attempt uncle Amell with us.

Grandpa Jones: Yeah he did. Every picture... accomplishment he shares it with us.

Ari smiled watching her mommy and big brother with the twins: See look at mommy and big brother

[thatssonanii]

Nana Jones: He's still here asks happy so I'd say you are.

Grandma Jones: Cause she saw what ride you had in there beyond that mean exterior

Kandice smiled: Wasn't sure. Good. Sooo

Roman shook his head laughing: Nah, nah, don't work that way. Ardian made his 2 picks, I get my 2 picks now. Amell and Jim.

Elijah: Ardian, you should've picked me and Uncle Mel.

Haleigh: I don't know how I feel about that. He's so proud of Sarai. Loves her like she's apart of him.

Isa scrunched her face: Eew they be nice

[annoyedkayah2395]

Once the food was done they were sitting outside eating. Ardian, Ari, and the twins were wiggling while they ate

Monique smiled: yall always cook enough to feed the neighborhood

Grandma Jones: You will know if you mess up before I ever said a word. But that time won't come.

Grandpa Jones chuckled: Don't twist your lips at me. Keep going, include yourself. Because you absolutely needed and wanted it.

Tyrell: The people I love is happy so am I.

Haleigh laughed: Yes, they do. He is, I told him that he doesn't have to be like that all the time because he's not like that at home with just me and Sassy. I also told him that he's just like Daddy.

[annoyedkayah2395]

Chenice: It is. I try to make sure they're always happy

Jabari hugged her: Thank you Grandma.

Isa yelled: Don't hug my grandma Bari!

Tasha nodded: I'm glad Pretty gyal is getting this

Ardian: I'm not gonna necessarily say I needed it. But I wanted it for my girls. Best you getting grandpa.

Kandice laughed: I told your father the same thing and he denied it. One day they get along. We hope

[thatssonanii]

Nana Jones: I know they make sure youre happy as well. But does Luke make sure?

Grandma Jones laughed: Isabella, are you being like your mama and big brother?

Tyrell kissed her head: I'm glad you and nephew are getting it too.

Grandpa Jones chuckled: Fine, be hard headed like your father in law and dont say it. I know the truth.

Haleigh laughed: One day. Im glad you and Mama Tasha are getting along.

[annoyedkayah2395]

Chenice smiled: Yes he do

Isa giggled: Noooooo

Ardian laughed putting his hands in his pockets: I mean it's cool and all. But you know who my focus is on grandpa

Tasha stared at her brother

AJ giggled

Kandice: Yeah she's our mean gyal. Stubborn as hell. She act like she don't wanna be around us but then we see a different side to her

[thatssonanii]

Nana Jones nodded and smiled: Good, I figured but I had to ask. I like him for you.

Grandma Jones laughed: Uhuh, I'm watching you. Jabari, you okay?

Grandpa Jones stared at him for a moment: You are just as hard headed and stubborn as your mama, maybe more. And the thing about hard headed and stubborn people, they're the lucky ones cause they don't have to deal with it we do.

Tyrell laughed: I ain't lie. You and nephew be acting like yall unaffected and uninterested. Glad niece people ain't the type to be deterred by that

Haleigh nodded: Yeah, Ardian acts like that too. To be honest it's one of the things I don't particularly care for about him but I choose my battles.

[annoyedkayah2395]

Chenice squealed: Really?

Jabari smiled: I'm good grandma. You aight?

Tasha tickled AJ: We just being careful. Is that wrong?

Ray: Nah it ain't

Ardian: Yes I'm stubborn but within good reason grandpa. I'm blessed that we got this. I don't take this granted. I guess I'm still protecting Hae in case things go left.

Kandice: he's stubborn in general or when it comes to you and sassy?

[thatssonanii]

Nana Jones: Yes ma'am. He's a sweetheart. I can tell by how he looks at you that he loves you.

Grandma Jones: As long as my babies are okay, I'm okay

Tyrell stared at them: Careful isn't wrong. You can be careful and still enjoy yourself and act like you like them instead of acting like you hate that they're all here.

Grandpa Jones chuckled to himself: I hear you but I'll leave you with this. You can be protective without checking out. If you constantly keep watch for the other shoe to drop you won't enjoy the other and you just might lose it.

Grandpa Jones squeezed his shoulder then walked off.

Haleigh: In general but today me and Rai. Don't get me wrong I love that he wants to protect me and her and I know that Luke and Elijah got used to it but I don't know. It can't be fun having to always guess if someone likes or hates you and is just tolerating you. I'm gonna go to the bathroom.

[annoyedkayah2395]

Chenice: You said what Nana?

Jabari: Ha! I'm one of your babies

Ray stared back: this is bout my niece.

Tasha sighed tickling AJ: Yeah i guess you right. Kandi, can I talk to you please?

Ari went to stand next to her brother: Whatever grandpa said got to you. And I think that I agree with him and you should break the ice. Show the side we see.

Ardian sighed nodding: Yeah... Yeah... Fuck.

[thatssonanii]

Nana Jones: I think you heard me. He loves you, I can see it.

Grandma Jones laughed: Yes you are. As long as it's okay with you.

Tyrell: Its about yall too. Mean ass.

AJ giggled and wiggled around.

Kandice smiled: Sure. Is something wrong?

Haleigh used the bathroom then looked around the living room at all the family pictures

[annoyedkayah2395]

Chenice smiled: He treats me really good Nana.

Tasha kissed AJ cheek: I am very stubborn. Don't say anything smart. But I do like you and I am sorry if it doesn't seem like it. My parents raised me to have sense... sometimes

Jabari: of course it is Grandma!

Ray: What I say?

Ardian approached Roman: Mr. Reigns... Pop... Wanna play a little basketball game before Granda gives us our instructions? My team vs your team?

Grandpa Jones smiled at Haleigh: We have to put more pictures up that grand boy sent us from the father's day brunch

[thatssonanii]

Nana Jones smiled: Good, I knew it. And how are you treating him?

Kandice laughed softly: Not saying anything smart. Its okay, just figured you were still warning up. I'm sorry if I annoyed you, I can be too bubbly when I like people.

Grandma Jones laughed: Ari did good picking you.

Tyrell: Don't care. You heard what i said.

Roman glanced at him and smiled: You wanna play ball with me? Sure.

Haleigh smiled: I can't believe i didn't know he sent those

[annoyedkayah2395]

Once the food was done they were sitting outside eating. Ardian, Ari, and the twins were wiggling while they ate

Monique smiled: yall always cook enough to feed the neighborhood

Aj grinned grabbing a rib

Luke grinned: How often yall host barbeques?

Jabari smiled: This good, grandpa.

Tyrell: Pop, we need these barbecue sauces. Help your boys with our restaurant. @thatssonanii

[thatssonanii]

Grandma Jones laughed: Because the men and children in this family eat enough for a neighborhood of people.

Melinda: AJ, that's bigger than you.

Grandpa Jones: As often as I can get everybody here. Maybe I'll come down and teach you boys. Thank you, Jabari.

Haleigh laughed watching Ardian and his siblings: Yall all do that wiggle. The food is good though so I get it

[annoyedkayah2395]

Queenie laughed: We can tell Mama Jones.

Elijah: Well we gonna be here everytime. Long as a certain somebody invites us

AJ giggled trying to bite it

Ardian grinned: Yall still give food to that shelter? We don't mind taking a few plates to them. Wait who's the certain somebody?

Ray: Long as brat and Ty know im getting the recipe first

Tasha: Ray don't get cussed out. You get nothing first. I do.

[thatssonanii]

Grandma Jones laughed: Looks like your husbands are the same.

Luke: You, Ardian. You the certain somebody.

Melinda helped him: There. That better?

Tyrell: No, I'm the best child. I get it first.

Grandpa Jones: We do. I was going to take some later. Yall are always welcome. Don't argue. The oldest gets the recipe first.

Haleigh popped Jabari hand: Move, you have your own.

[annoyedkayah2395]

Trinity laughed: They gonna be asking Pop Jones for recipes

Ray smirked

Ardian: Fine but don't get too comfortable around my grandparents. Can we help grandpa? I can get some snacks and stuff and some candy for them.

AJ: tank you!

Tasha cussed her brother out in Patios

Monique laughed: this why nephew cuss people out in Albanian

Jabari pouted: Yeah but I'm your little brother. Can I help grandpa?

[thatssonanii]

Jimmy grinned: And he's gonna help us. Don't be jealous that he ain't gonna give it to you.

Luke frowned: Aye, be nice to us. Grandma Jones said you had to.

Melinda: You welcome, baby.

Tyrell: Wait what? How he get to?

Grandpa Jones chuckled: Tasha, be nice. Tyrell, calm down. I'm not dating that you two won't get them. I'm just saying Ray will be first. You may help, Adrian but you won't pay. You too, Jabari

Haleigh popped him again: Don't care. You steal from Ari not me.

[annoyedkayah2395]

Queenie laughed; nobody jealous Jimmy

Roman: Me and my cousins don't mind helping. What all do yall give to the shelter?

AJ ate his ribs

Nana Jones smiled: Chunky. Tash. I thought my babies were going to be nice

Ray grinned

Tasha: Yes nana.

Ardian: Yes nana. I'm be nice. Fine yall can share my.. our family. I'm not paying? You sure grandpa? Me and my brothers don't mind.

Elijah nodded:

Jabari hissed then stoled from Nova who giggled: Isa bites

[thatssonanii]

Jimmy laughed: Yeah you is, Spring

Grandpa Jones: I don't care that you don't mind. Food, beverages, toiletries, clothes, bedding, gift cards. Things they need

Grandma Jones smiled: Thank you for being nice and sharing.

Isa whispered to her twin.

Nova bit his finger and giggled.

Haleigh snorted: And so does Nova apparently

[annoyedkayah2395]

Queenie laughed: Never Jimmy

Roman stared at Ardian: You never said yall get things for the shelter. We could've gotten it when we were out

Ardian grinned then stared back: You never asked. Aight Grandpa. We got you

Apryl snorted

Jabari hissed: Aye ain't Nova the oldest? I thought we were cool Nova

[thatssonanii]

Jimmy pushed her playfully: Thats what you say now.

Kandice hit her husband's arm laughing: Stop staring at him.

Grandpa Jones: Well now everybody knows and it's okay. I appreciate all the help.

Nova giggled: We are but you touch my food and didn't ask.

Haleigh nudged Ardian smiling: You and my daddy act alike.

[annoyedkayah2395]

Queenie: Trin get your husband

Roman: But he... he.. look at the grin.

Ari: I can help Grandpa?

Monique: Ari you be with us we got you

Jabari made biting noises then frowned at Ari: No no no. What if me and the big brothers gotta shoot somebody?

Morgan laughed: Jabari Grandpa and our uncles not gonna let anything happen to us

Ardian smiled a little at her

[thatssonanii]

Trinity laughed: Leave Queenie alone.

Kandice: And you have the same grin.

Grandpa Jones: Of course you can, babygirl. Jabari.

Grandma Jones frowned, waving her hands to stop him: Hey, uhn uhn. I do not want to hear anymore about shooting people and guns that's inappropriate in front of the children and frankly disrespectful in front of me and your grandfather. My sons don't say it in front of me so neither will anyone else. We're eating and discussing charity.

Apryl: Yes ma'am, I agree.

Haleigh raised a brow at Ardian and whispered: Be nice, you don't have up be a little shit all the time. Please?

[annoyedkayah2395]

Roman: I'm not that bad.

Rich: How much yall usually buy in gift cards?

Nova giggled: Bari got in trouble

AJ giggled

Jabari: Sorry Grandma. My bad. I didn't get in trouble Nova. Who's side you on? Sorry grandpa

Ardian nodded smiling: I got you mamas. Me and ya pops cool

[thatssonanii]

Kandice laughed: Yes, you are.

Grandpa Jones: Honestly, I never really look at the number. I just know it's more than enough. Ray usually looks at the number that's his job. Its okay, Jabari

Isa giggled: He did. Him was bad.

Grandma Jones: It's fine.

Haleigh: Promise?

[annoyedkayah2395]

Roman smiled: Maybe

Rich nodded: I'll help

Apryl: Do yall know the owner of the shelter? We can get them something.

Nana Jones smiled and winked at Jabari

Jabari grinned: I'm liked again!

Luke laughed: Me and my brothers get toys

Ardian grinned: I promise

[thatssonanii]

Kandice laughed: Maybe... okay

Grandpa Jones: We appreciate the help and I know they will too.

Grandma Jones smiled: You were never disliked, Jabari. Correction doesn't mean you're unloved

Morgan: And we can get the female products too

Haleigh closed her eyes for a second: You know I love you

[annoyedkayah2395]

Ray: We always got you pop.

Ty grinned

Chenice squealed: Look at us!

Jabari nodded: Yes grandma.

Ardian kissed her cheek: I love you more.

Nova giggled stealing from Ari plate

[thatssonanii]

Grandpa Jones: That's why I love yall.

Elijah: Being charitable and helping the people. We should do a bank to school drive at home.

Grandma Jones: I love you, okay Jabari?

Haleigh: I picked up with you

Ari gasped: Did my Novie take from my plate?

[annoyedkayah2395]

When they were done Ardian was standing next to Grandpa Jones with Haleigh: That's for Mr. Willie and his wife?

Jabari was standing next to Grandma Jones smiling: I'm sorry for saying what I said. I didn't mean to offend.

Chenice: Nana Jones im gonna be your favorite!

Ray, Ty, and Tasha was standing next to each other watching everybody while Tasha held AJ

[thatssonanii]

Grandpa Jones: Yup that's for them. What you think?

Grandma Jones kissed his head: I accept your apology. I know you didn't.

Nana Jones laughed: I like your spunk. You know that?

Tyrell: What yall thinking?

Haleigh bumped her mama: Still okay?

[annoyedkayah2395]

Chenice squealed: Yall heard that?! Nana likes my spunk!

Jabari grinned: thank you for accepting me.

Ardian looked and nodded: That's good grandpa.

Tasha tickled AJ: I think I need to get paid next time I have to be nice

Ray laughed

Kandice smiled: Yes pretty girl. You? You was right at home

[thatssonanii]

Morgan laughed: We heard it, Nicey. Please.

Nana Jones laughed: You always so happy and that's what everybody needs. You have a sweet spirit and you mean well.

Grandma Jones: You have me no reason not to accept you, Jabari. You are always enough.

Grandpa Jones: Glad I have your approval. What's on your mind?

Tyrell laughed: How much you think would be enough?

Haleigh: Yes ma'am. Cause I am. Home away from home

[annoyedkayah2395]

Chenice: Really nana? My happiness is needed around yall!

Jabari: Yeah? Even if I dont like people? Call people stupid?

Ardian: All of this. I was content with it just being us but I know Pigtails needed this. Wanted this.

Tasha hummed: Until my little heart is happy. Right AJ? What yall two thinking?

Ray: Just watching

Kandice chuckled: this was where he had you and Sassy when we couldn't get in contact with you?

[thatssonanii]

Nana Jones laughed and squeezed her hand: Okay, baby, okay. You don't have to broadcast it all. Some stuff is just for you and I.

Grandma Jones smiled: You're not the only one in this family that does that so those are not deal breakers.

Grandpa Jones: And you needed and wanted this too. Don't leave you out.

Tyrell chuckled: Yeah okay, brat. Same, thinking.

AJ giggled: Yeah!

Haleigh nodded: Yeah we were here. She loved it

[annoyedkayah2395]

Chenice grinned: Thank you nana... for everything.

Jabari: Yeah? Cause ari doll mean alot to me I don't wanna mess it up cause I disappointed yall. Yall mean a lot to me as well

Ardian twisted his mouth glancing at his grandfather

Tasha nodded kissing AJ cheek: Are yall happy?

Ray: I mean this shit nice.

Kandice smiled: I bet they spoil her. He's a lil shit but he loves you

[thatssonanii]

Nana Jones: Thank you for bringing joy no matter what. You are yourself and you do not water it down or adjust for anyone. I know that's why Morgan and Haleigh love you.

Grandma Jones: You will know if you mess up before I ever said a word. But that time won't come.

Nana Jones: I know they make sure youre happy as well. But does Luke make sure?

Grandma Jones laughed: Isabella, are you being like your mama and big brother?

Tyrell kissed her head: I'm glad you and nephew are getting it too.

Grandpa Jones chuckled: Fine, be hard headed like your father in law and dont say it. I know the truth.

Haleigh laughed: One day. Im glad you and Mama Tasha are getting along.

Chenice smiled: Yes he do

Tasha stared at her brother

AJ giggled

Kandice: Yeah she's our mean gyal. Stubborn as hell. She act like she don't wanna be around us but then we see a different side to her

[thatssonanii]

Nana Jones nodded and smiled: Good, I figured but I had to ask. I like him for you.

Haleigh nodded: Yeah, Ardian acts like that too. To be honest it's one of the things I don't particularly care for about him but I choose my battles.

[annoyedkayah2395]

Grandma Jones laughed: Yes you are. As long as it's okay with you.

Tyrell: Its about yall too. Mean ass.

AJ giggled and wiggled around.

Kandice smiled: Sure. Is something wrong?

Haleigh used the bathroom then looked around the living room at all the family pictures

[annoyedkayah2395]

Carisi smiled: Yes ma'am second chair.

Serafina sanitized her hands: Wait second chair?

Quincy: Oh shit. Big money @thatssonanii

[thatssonanii]

Diedra: I'm so proud of you. You'll have to tell me about the case a little later.

Peach: No cursing in front of him. Here you go, Mama Carisi.

Nate laughed: My boy got 2 kids to pay for now, he need that

[annoyedkayah2395]

Quincy laughed: my bad.

Serafina gently grabbed her grandson: Hi little guy. You know me?

Carisi smiled taking more pictures: I will. I know I'm need Bibi by my side

[thatssonanii]

Peach: It's okay. I'll be there in spirit and in court when I can.

He smiled a little hearing her voice.

Diedra: Awwe that little smile. I'll be here as well, I have to see my sonshine in action.

[annoyedkayah2395]

Serafina smiled: Oh you're a cutie pie.

Carisi grinned taking more pictures: And I'll take all the help

Nate smiled: I know that check going to look good

[thatssonanii]

Baby Carisi yawned and stared at her.

Deidra: And I love that about you, son.

Quincy grinned: It is. Aye, brother in law, the family get a little piece of the check too, right?

Peach laughed softly watching and listening.

[annoyedkayah2395]

Serafina cooed: Those eyes

Carisi laughed: thank you Ma. How about this when I get the check I'll treat us to a family vacation

Nate grinned: A vacation? We get to choose the place?

[thatssonanii]

Diedre laughed softly: Eyes just like his daddy. We appreciate that, sonshine

Quincy grinned: Preciate that, bro

Peach laughed: I get to pick the place.

[annoyedkayah2395]

Once it was a little more calmer Carisi was able to get Sunshine so she could meet her little brother: You excited?

[thatssonanii]

Sunshine: For mommy

[annoyedkayah2395]

Carisi chuckled: what bout for daddy?

[thatssonanii]

Sunshine nodded: Yeah. Not that baby

[annoyedkayah2395]

Carisi laughed softly entering the suite: Hey bibi. Up for a visitor?

[thatssonanii]

Peach looked to from baby boy and smiled: If that's my Sunny, I am. Hey big girl.

Sunshine waved and giggled: Hey mommy! Daddy what's that?

[annoyedkayah2395]

Carisi: That's your baby brother sunshine.

[thatssonanii]

Peach: Come closer so you can see him. He's wide awake. You can get on the bed.

Sunshine slowly moved over to the bed and let Carisi help her up. She peeked at the baby then sat back frowning: That baby white

[annoyedkayah2395]

Carisi laughed: Yes sunshine baby brother is... he looks like me

[thatssonanii]

Peach snorted: Yeah, we're all different colors, Sunny.

Sunshine looked at her parents then at the baby again: That baby hab blue eyes. Daddy hab blue eyes.

[annoyedkayah2395]

Carisi smiled: Yeah he does sunshine. Cool right?

[thatssonanii]

Sunshine nodded slowly: Yeah, cool, daddy. Me can hold that baby?

Peach tried not to laugh: Yeah, you can good your baby brother. Ask Daddy to help you move closer

[annoyedkayah2395]

Carisi helped Sunshine move closer: He looking at you sunshine.

[thatssonanii]

Peach carefully put him in Sunshine's arms: He's smiling. Tell him who you are.

Sunshine stared at the baby slightly unimpressed: Me Sunshine Carisi. What that baby name?

[annoyedkayah2395]

Carisi: He's named after me sunshine. Dominic Carisi

[thatssonanii]

Sunshine frowned: Why? Me daddy baby, not that baby

Peach held in her laugh because it wasn't funny but it was absolutely funny: I ... well Daddy is named after your grandpa too. Its like ... like a tradition.

[annoyedkayah2395]

Little Carisi smiled at sunshine

Carisi: Yeah sunshine just a tradition. Look he's smiling at you. Wanna say something nice to him?

[thatssonanii]

Peach: He remembers your voice, sweet girl.

Sunshine looked at her parents then her baby brother: Me daddy baby, not you. You hab mommy.

[annoyedkayah2395]

Little Carisi kept smiling

Carisi laughed: He loves his big sister sunshine

[thatssonanii]

Peach laughed: And his big sister loves him too. Right?

Sunshine frowned at the baby then smiled a little: Yeah, Mommy.

[annoyedkayah2395]

Carisi snorted: Can daddy get a picture with you, baby brother, and Mommy?

[thatssonanii]

Peach carefully took the baby back and smiled: We can hang it in baby brother's room or in daddy's office.

Sunshine rolled her eyes dramatically getting in Peach's lap carefully: I guess

[annoyedkayah2395]

Carisi took the pictures: thank you my sunshine

[thatssonanii]

Peach glanced at her husband: Well this is going ... well.

Little Carisi grunted.

Sunshine frowned immediately and moved away: Ewww! That baby stink!

[annoyedkayah2395]

Carisi snorted grabbing Lil Carisi: You scared your sister mini me. I'll change him.

[thatssonanii]

Sunshine frowned: That nasty. He need the potty.

Peach laughed: He's not potty trained yet, big girl. He's only a day old. You used to poop in your diaper too. Right, Dominic?

[annoyedkayah2395]

Carisi nodded laughing going to change his son: Yes you did sunshine.

[thatssonanii]

Sunshine shook her head: Uhn uhn. Me not do that.

Peach laughed: Sure. Me and Daddy must have dreamed it

[annoyedkayah2395]

Carisi changed his son throwing the soiled pamper out: He's clean now sunshine

[thatssonanii]

Peach: And he smells better now

Sunshine stared between them: That baby come home with us?

[annoyedkayah2395]

Carisi: Yes he is but good thing is he have his own room. He smiled hearing your voice again sunshine

[thatssonanii]

Sunshine: That baby like me?

Peach laughed: Yes, that baby like you.

[annoyedkayah2395]

Carisi snorted showing Sunshine her brother smiling: See? He's happy you're his big sister

[thatssonanii]

Sunshine smiled a little looking at him: He kinda cute

Peach: He is. Like you

[annoyedkayah2395]

Carisi smiled: Me and your mommy have two of the cutest kids

[thatssonanii]

Peach: Yeah we do. And smart too

Sunshine giggled a little: Me and that baby?

[annoyedkayah2395]

Carisi: Yes you and your brother sunshine

[thatssonanii]

A little later both children were napping beside each other best the foot of the bed.

Peach: We're a family of four now. Any regrets?

[annoyedkayah2395]

Carisi smiled: absolutely no regrets. You?

[thatssonanii]

Peach: Nope, not one. Things are going better than I thought with Sunny

[annoyedkayah2395]

Carisi chuckled: I mean mini me is still that baby but I'm proud of her and you

[thatssonanii]

Peach gasped playfully: My Dominic is proud of me? Really?

[annoyedkayah2395]

Carisi laughed: Yes my beautiful Peach. I'm extremely proud of you. I know sometimes I may not show it but I love you and I appreciate you

[thatssonanii]

Peach smiled wide: You always show it unless your second wife is involved. I how that i always show how proud I am of you, how much i love you and how much i appreciate you. I picked the right man to be my husband and the father of my babies

[annoyedkayah2395]

Carisi: Yeah? That means a lot to me. And I owe you a special trip to Italy when all of this is over

[thatssonanii]

Peach: Ooh Italy? Two babies got me that? I'll take it

[annoyedkayah2395]

Carisi laughed: I was going to take you back there anyway but yes my bibi deserves another trip to Italy

[thatssonanii]

Peach laughed softly: Well thank you. Your nieces and nephew have informed me that they've got a surprise set up when we get home and your parents nor your brother and sister will tell me what it is.

[annoyedkayah2395]

Carisi: How much they charging for this surprise?

[thatssonanii]

Peach: That i don't know but I'm sure it's not free.

[annoyedkayah2395]

Carisi snorted: they should be glad I love them like I love you.

[thatssonanii]

Peach: We all feel very lucky. How many more do you want?

[annoyedkayah2395]

Carisi: depends on my beautiful wife

[thatssonanii]

Peach: Hmmm ... maybe 2 more.

[annoyedkayah2395]

Carisi: Sounds good to me. But we gotta work on the that baby with Sunshine

[thatssonanii]

Peach nodded: Yeah we do. She's still not convinced that she likes him being here now but she did ask to hold him. I didnt think she would so soo

[annoyedkayah2395]

Once home Carisi had gently helped his wife and sunshine out the car then went to grab his son: We home

[thatssonanii]

Peach slowly walked to the porch with Sunshine: Finally. You excited, big girl?

Little Carisi watched Carisi.

Ant snatched the door open grinning: Auntie! Unc! Baby cuz! Welcome home! We have rules!

[annoyedkayah2395]

Carisi held his ear: Well we are home mini me. That was your cousin Ant. What rules Ant?

Sunshine grinned: Yeah mommy! Ant!

[thatssonanii]

Little Carisi frowned a little.

Peach stared at him: Make it quick, Ant and don't make him cry

Ant grinned: You know I wouldn't do that. First rule, parents don't do anything for themselves. Need something let me, Kaci or Mia know. Got it?

[annoyedkayah2395]

Carisi chuckled: I see you're not a fan of the yelling. Okay we can do that. How much you guys charging?

Sunshine tugged on Ant arm: Say hi to that baby

[thatssonanii]

Peach laughed: Yes go meet Third. That's simple, I guess.

Ant laughed: Ima say hi to him when come in the house, Sunny. Second rule, uncle you not allowed to cook. We taking care of all that. Third rule, we gon take Sunshine on adventures every day.

[annoyedkayah2395]

Carisi frowned: No cooking?

Sunshine grinned: Yay!

Peach frowned and let him help her up the porch steps: Them who's gonna do it?

Ant helped both still grinning: Me, Kaci, Mia, the grands and ma and dad. Yall not doing nothing but loving us. Come on in and relax. Figured you'd like that, baby cuz. You like swimming right?

[annoyedkayah2395]

Carisi chuckled glancing at his wife: looks like we have been out voted

Sunshine giggled: Yeah ant

[thatssonanii]

Ant picked Sunshine up them held the screen door open for them: Then that'll be our first adventure. Come on in.

Peach smiled a little as she carefully walked in: Looks like we have.

[annoyedkayah2395]

Carisi helped his wife making sure she's okay: You okay?

Sunshine giggled

[thatssonanii]

Peach nodded: Yeah, just sore still.

Ant kissed her face then tickled her: I got my sunshine bear!

Monica: My babies are home! Where's Auntie's babies?

[annoyedkayah2395]

Lil Carisi looked around

Carisi gently helped his wife sit down; I got you bibi.

Sunshine squealed: Auntie! Baby here! Not that baby!

[thatssonanii]

Ant froze and looked at Sunshine then everybody else: That baby?

Peach winced a little as she sat: Thank you, Sonny. It's what she calls her brother

Monica kissed Sunshine's face: Hey my baby. Baby brother can't be my baby too?

Kaci laughed: She really is not happy about him being here yet.

[annoyedkayah2395]

Sunshine stared: No me auntie baby.

Carisi chuckled: youre welcome. She isn't but she said he's cute so I guess we take that win. The stare is Bibi.

[thatssonanii]

Monica got her from Ant: You don't think that might make baby brother sad?

Peach stared at him: I do not stare like that. Hers is scary.

Ant peeked at the baby: He cute. He white though, baby cuz wasn't that white. Kaci, Mia ... come look.

[annoyedkayah2395]

Sunshine: No

Carisi snorted and kissed her: Of course bibi

Kaci and Mia went to go look and smiled: Look at his eyes

[thatssonanii]

Monica nodded slowly: oookay then. Well you're my baby girl and he's my baby boy. Better?

Peach nodded: Thank you. Ant, that's the same thing your cousin said. Be nice to my ba... little Dominic

Quincy smacked the back of his son's head: I don't know why you said that anyway.

Kaci laughed: I ... well just was unexpected. His eyes are blue like Uncle's. Uncle Sonny was your hair blonde before it went well salt and pepper from them stressing you out? Or were you a brunette?

[annoyedkayah2395]

Sunshine thought

Ant hissed: Ouch. Auntie I got hit

Carisi chuckled: Thank you for the reminder of the salt and pepper hair. I was a brunette

[thatssonanii]

Monica bounced her a little waiting for her answer.

Quincy: And I'll do it again. Can I hold my nephew?

Peach: Don't hit my Ant again. He was just caught off guard. Kaci ... I. Babe, I like your hair like that.

Kaci giggled: Sorry, Unc. But oooh so little unc might have that too? Or blonde hair like grandma?

[annoyedkayah2395]

Sunshine nodded: otay

Carisi nodded gently passing his son to Quincy: Thank you, Bibi. I hope blonde

Mia smiled: I want him to have aunt bibi personality

[thatssonanii]

Monica kissed her face: That's my big girl. Guess what? We got cupcakes for the new big sister. Wanna get one?

Quincy bounced him gently: Hey, lil man. You a handsome lil guy. Yeah, you cool like your pops and your uncle.

Peach smiled: I think Sunny may be enough. I want him to be like his dad without the stomach issues

[annoyedkayah2395]

Sunshine grinned: Yes!

Little Carisi smiled at him

Kaci laughed: I mean I agree with auntie. Especially with the stomach issues

Carisi: You guys done?

[thatssonanii]

Monica took her to the kitchen: We got you bluey. Do you want chocolate or vanilla?

Quincy smiled back: Yeah, you know you handsome, don't you?

Mia laughed: Grandma fussed at him for having nothing but pepto a week straight.

Peach tried to stop laughing: We're sorry, baby. We're done

[annoyedkayah2395]

Sunshine hummed: Nilla pease

Ant looked: I can't wait to take him to the mall with me

Carisi stared: I'm glad my stomach issues is funny

Kaci giggled: It kinda is uncle

[thatssonanii]

Monica got one for both of them then sat at the table: I'm proud of you for using your manners. You happy to be back home?

Quincy snorted: And what you taking him to the mall for, son?

Peach laughed: Yeah...it is.

Diedra kissed his head: Alright, that's enough. Leave my sonshine alone.

[annoyedkayah2395]

Sunshine smile: tank you! Yeah baby happy

Ant grinned: What you mean?

Carisi grinned: Thank you ma

Kaci laughed: Fine fine fine

[thatssonanii]

Monica smiled: Good, Auntie is glad. Did you get to hold baby brother?

Quincy started at his son then laughed: You know exactly what I mean.

Peach scrunched her face: Mama Carisi, tell him stop being a baby.

[annoyedkayah2395]

Sunshine nodded: Yeah

Ant: Gotta show the workers my little cousin

Serafina laughed: Dominic

Carisi: not the first name

[thatssonanii]

Monica peeled the cupcake liner off for her: Yeah? Was that cool?

Quincy bounced the baby gently: The employees? Or the girls?

Peach grinned: Thank you.

Diedra laughed: He's allowed some comfort. She's just jealous. Right son?

[annoyedkayah2395]

Sunshine frowned: Tank you. Yeah. That baby cry

Ant laughed: Come on now

Carisi laughed: Yes. We really do thank you guys for being here

[thatssonanii]

Monica laughed a little: You're welcome. And it was really loud i bet. Was he hungry?

Quincy laughed: Uhuh exactly. You wanna hold him?

Diedra gave him a look: Where else would we be? Don't than us for being family.

Peach: Be careful, Sonny. A hit usually follows that look

[annoyedkayah2395]

Sunshine thought: Yeah mommy feed that baby

Ant nodded smiling: Yeah I do

Carisi: I... wait a hit? No hit

[thatssonanii]

Monica: Good. Did he have stinky diapers?

Quincy carefully handed him over and helped Ant adjust his arms: He longer than Sunshine was so be careful.

Diedra popped his arm: Don't you thank us again. You hear me?

Peach snorted: Told you

[annoyedkayah2395]

Sunshine frowned: Yeah that baby stink

Ant carefully held his cousin: This is so cool.

Carisi pouted: Yes ma'am

Serafina laughed

[thatssonanii]

Monica laughed: Yeah babies are stinky sometimes. I bet you're gonna be a good big sister.

Quincy smiled: Yeah it is. Another little baby.

Kaci: Ant, stop hogging him. Me and Mia wanna hold him too.

Diedra nodded: Thank you. Take your wife so she can lay down. She needs rest and so do you. And no working.

Peach whispered to Carisi: And you call me bossy

[annoyedkayah2395]

Sunshine smiled a little

Ant frowned playfully: but he like me better. Mia and Kaci wanna hold you now

Carisi gently helped his wife up taking her upstairs to their room: I got popped

[thatssonanii]

Monica: What do you wanna do after we eat our cupcakes?

Little Carisi smiled a little

Mia laughed: That's right. Don't be greedy with the baby snuggles

Peach laughed softly: I told you it was coming.

[annoyedkayah2395]

Sunshine: Watch bluey

Quincy laughed: Oh he a little spoiled already

Carisi smiled kissing her head: Yes you did beautiful. Happy to be home?

[thatssonanii]

Monica: Okay so we'll watch bluey and color or play. Just me and auntie's baby girl

Ant carefully passed him to Mia: Be careful with my lil cuz. He fragile.

Kaci: Says the guy that squeezes Sunshine's juice boxes to tight when he's putting the straw in.

[annoyedkayah2395]

Sunshine smiled: Yeah Auntie baby!

Mia smiled holding him: Hey little cousin

Ant: Well im helping my cousin

[thatssonanii]

Monica laughed softly: Close enough. Yes, you're my baby.

Kaci: Helping her by squeezing out all her juice, HeMan

Peach eased up on the bed: Very happy to be home and be in our bed

[annoyedkayah2395]

Sunshine giggled: yay

Ant grinned: She didn't fuss

Carisi made sure she was comfortable

[thatssonanii]

Monica took Sunshine to her room one she was done and turned on Bluey: Are we coloring, playing or just watching Bluey?

Kaci laughed: Whatever, Ant.

Diedra: Okay me and Serafina are going to prep dinner. Can we trust you all with baby Dominic?

Peach thanked him: Are you gonna lay with me or you gonna go hover over the kids and check on them?

[annoyedkayah2395]

Sunshine thought: watch bluey

Quincy: I'll watch them ma. I got them and nephew

Ant: You know you can trust me

Carisi: I'm lay with you and hold you

[thatssonanii]

Monica made sure she was comfortable so they could watch.

Nate: Me and Senior helped yall raise the kids. We got this. Go on, ladies.

Diedra started at her husband then her grandson: Quincy, girls ... watch them.

Peach smiled: Oooh, pushing out baby perks. I like that.

[annoyedkayah2395]

Serafina followed Diedra laughing: You trust them?

Ant scrunched his face hearing his cousin grunt: I'm not changing him

Carisi laughed getting comfortable behind her: I always like laying with you

[thatssonanii]

Diedra laughed going to the fridge: Just enough. What about you?

Kaci: Me neither.

Mia: Nope

Quincy shook his head laughing: Come on, nephew. I got you. They scared of a lil diaper like they didn't do it too.

Peach laughed a little: Uhuh and that's how we got two babies. My body hurts more than it did with Sunshine. I'm fine though, do not panic

[annoyedkayah2395]

Serafina shook her head: No I don't but we love them

Little Carisi stared at Quincy smiling

Ant: Good job Dad

Carisi frowned a little: Bibi you can't tell me not to panic after saying that

[thatssonanii]

Diedra laughed: Unfortunately

Quincy took him to the changing table and laid him down gently: Look at that smile, look like your dad man. You the know if you're gonna babysit, you have to change diapers.

Kaci: Grandpa didn't volunteer either.

Peach frowned a little trying to get comfortable: Sonny, I'm fine. I'm okay. He was bigger than Sunshine was.

[annoyedkayah2395]

Once the food was done they were sitting outside eating. Ardian, Ari, and the twins were wiggling while they ate

Monique smiled: yall always cook enough to feed the neighborhood

Aj grinned grabbing a rib

Luke grinned: How often yall host barbeques?

Jabari smiled: This good, grandpa.

Tyrell: Pop, we need these barbecue sauces. Help your boys with our restaurant. @thatssonanii

[thatssonanii]

Grandma Jones laughed: Because the men and children in this family eat enough for a neighborhood of people.

Melinda: AJ, that's bigger than you.

Grandpa Jones: As often as I can get everybody here. Maybe I'll come down and teach you boys. Thank you, Jabari.

Haleigh laughed watching Ardian and his siblings: Yall all do that wiggle. The food is good though so I get it

[annoyedkayah2395]

Queenie laughed: We can tell Mama Jones.

Elijah: Well we gonna be here everytime. Long as a certain somebody invites us

AJ giggled trying to bite it

Ardian grinned: Yall still give food to that shelter? We don't mind taking a few plates to them. Wait who's the certain somebody?

Ray: Long as brat and Ty know im getting the recipe first

Tasha: Ray don't get cussed out. You get nothing first. I do.

[thatssonanii]

Grandma Jones laughed: Looks like your husbands are the same.

Luke: You, Ardian. You the certain somebody.

Melinda helped him: There. That better?

Tyrell: No, I'm the best child. I get it first.

Grandpa Jones: We do. I was going to take some later. Yall are always welcome. Don't argue. The oldest gets the recipe first.

Haleigh popped Jabari hand: Move, you have your own.

[annoyedkayah2395]

Trinity laughed: They gonna be asking Pop Jones for recipes

Ray smirked

Ardian: Fine but don't get too comfortable around my grandparents. Can we help grandpa? I can get some snacks and stuff and some candy for them.

AJ: tank you!

Tasha cussed her brother out in Patios

Monique laughed: this why nephew cuss people out in Albanian

Jabari pouted: Yeah but I'm your little brother. Can I help grandpa?

[thatssonanii]

Jimmy grinned: And he's gonna help us. Don't be jealous that he ain't gonna give it to you.

Luke frowned: Aye, be nice to us. Grandma Jones said you had to.

Melinda: You welcome, baby.

Tyrell: Wait what? How he get to?

Grandpa Jones chuckled: Tasha, be nice. Tyrell, calm down. I'm not dating that you two won't get them. I'm just saying Ray will be first. You may help, Adrian but you won't pay. You too, Jabari

Haleigh popped him again: Don't care. You steal from Ari not me.

[annoyedkayah2395]

Queenie laughed; nobody jealous Jimmy

Roman: Me and my cousins don't mind helping. What all do yall give to the shelter?

AJ ate his ribs

Nana Jones smiled: Chunky. Tash. I thought my babies were going to be nice

Ray grinned

Tasha: Yes nana.

Ardian: Yes nana. I'm be nice. Fine yall can share my.. our family. I'm not paying? You sure grandpa? Me and my brothers don't mind.

Elijah nodded:

Jabari hissed then stoled from Nova who giggled: Isa bites

[thatssonanii]

Jimmy laughed: Yeah you is, Spring

Grandpa Jones: I don't care that you don't mind. Food, beverages, toiletries, clothes, bedding, gift cards. Things they need

Grandma Jones smiled: Thank you for being nice and sharing.

Isa whispered to her twin.

Nova bit his finger and giggled.

Haleigh snorted: And so does Nova apparently

[annoyedkayah2395]

Queenie laughed: Never Jimmy

Roman stared at Ardian: You never said yall get things for the shelter. We could've gotten it when we were out

Ardian grinned then stared back: You never asked. Aight Grandpa. We got you

Apryl snorted

Jabari hissed: Aye ain't Nova the oldest? I thought we were cool Nova

[thatssonanii]

Jimmy pushed her playfully: Thats what you say now.

Kandice hit her husband's arm laughing: Stop staring at him.

Grandpa Jones: Well now everybody knows and it's okay. I appreciate all the help.

Nova giggled: We are but you touch my food and didn't ask.

Haleigh nudged Ardian smiling: You and my daddy act alike.

[annoyedkayah2395]

Queenie: Trin get your husband

Roman: But he... he.. look at the grin.

Ari: I can help Grandpa?

Monique: Ari you be with us we got you

Jabari made biting noises then frowned at Ari: No no no. What if me and the big brothers gotta shoot somebody?

Morgan laughed: Jabari Grandpa and our uncles not gonna let anything happen to us

Ardian smiled a little at her

[thatssonanii]

Trinity laughed: Leave Queenie alone.

Kandice: And you have the same grin.

Grandpa Jones: Of course you can, babygirl. Jabari.

Grandma Jones frowned, waving her hands to stop him: Hey, uhn uhn. I do not want to hear anymore about shooting people and guns that's inappropriate in front of the children and frankly disrespectful in front of me and your grandfather. My sons don't say it in front of me so neither will anyone else. We're eating and discussing charity.

Apryl: Yes ma'am, I agree.

Haleigh raised a brow at Ardian and whispered: Be nice, you don't have up be a little shit all the time. Please?

[annoyedkayah2395]

Roman: I'm not that bad.

Rich: How much yall usually buy in gift cards?

Nova giggled: Bari got in trouble

AJ giggled

Jabari: Sorry Grandma. My bad. I didn't get in trouble Nova. Who's side you on? Sorry grandpa

Ardian nodded smiling: I got you mamas. Me and ya pops cool

[thatssonanii]

Kandice laughed: Yes, you are.

Grandpa Jones: Honestly, I never really look at the number. I just know it's more than enough. Ray usually looks at the number that's his job. Its okay, Jabari

Isa giggled: He did. Him was bad.

Grandma Jones: It's fine.

Haleigh: Promise?

[annoyedkayah2395]

Roman smiled: Maybe

Rich nodded: I'll help

Apryl: Do yall know the owner of the shelter? We can get them something.

Nana Jones smiled and winked at Jabari

Jabari grinned: I'm liked again!

Luke laughed: Me and my brothers get toys

Ardian grinned: I promise

[thatssonanii]

Kandice laughed: Maybe... okay

Grandpa Jones: We appreciate the help and I know they will too.

Grandma Jones smiled: You were never disliked, Jabari. Correction doesn't mean you're unloved

Morgan: And we can get the female products too

Haleigh closed her eyes for a second: You know I love you

[annoyedkayah2395]

Ray: We always got you pop.

Ty grinned

Chenice squealed: Look at us!

Jabari nodded: Yes grandma.

Ardian kissed her cheek: I love you more.

Nova giggled stealing from Ari plate

[thatssonanii]

Grandpa Jones: That's why I love yall.

Elijah: Being charitable and helping the people. We should do a bank to school drive at home.

Grandma Jones: I love you, okay Jabari?

Haleigh: I picked up with you

Ari gasped: Did my Novie take from my plate?

[annoyedkayah2395]

When they were done Ardian was standing next to Grandpa Jones with Haleigh: That's for Mr. Willie and his wife?

Jabari was standing next to Grandma Jones smiling: I'm sorry for saying what I said. I didn't mean to offend.

Chenice: Nana Jones im gonna be your favorite!

Ray, Ty, and Tasha was standing next to each other watching everybody while Tasha held AJ

[thatssonanii]

Grandpa Jones: Yup that's for them. What you think?

Grandma Jones kissed his head: I accept your apology. I know you didn't.

Nana Jones laughed: I like your spunk. You know that?

Tyrell: What yall thinking?

Haleigh bumped her mama: Still okay?

[annoyedkayah2395]

Chenice squealed: Yall heard that?! Nana likes my spunk!

Jabari grinned: thank you for accepting me.

Ardian looked and nodded: That's good grandpa.

Tasha tickled AJ: I think I need to get paid next time I have to be nice

Ray laughed

Kandice smiled: Yes pretty girl. You? You was right at home

[thatssonanii]

Morgan laughed: We heard it, Nicey. Please.

Nana Jones laughed: You always so happy and that's what everybody needs. You have a sweet spirit and you mean well.

Grandma Jones: You have me no reason not to accept you, Jabari. You are always enough.

Grandpa Jones: Glad I have your approval. What's on your mind?

Tyrell laughed: How much you think would be enough?

Haleigh: Yes ma'am. Cause I am. Home away from home

[annoyedkayah2395]

Chenice: Really nana? My happiness is needed around yall!

Jabari: Yeah? Even if I dont like people? Call people stupid?

Ardian: All of this. I was content with it just being us but I know Pigtails needed this. Wanted this.

Tasha hummed: Until my little heart is happy. Right AJ? What yall two thinking?

Ray: Just watching

Kandice chuckled: this was where he had you and Sassy when we couldn't get in contact with you?

[thatssonanii]

Nana Jones laughed and squeezed her hand: Okay, baby, okay. You don't have to broadcast it all. Some stuff is just for you and I.

Grandma Jones smiled: You're not the only one in this family that does that so those are not deal breakers.

Grandpa Jones: And you needed and wanted this too. Don't leave you out.

Tyrell chuckled: Yeah okay, brat. Same, thinking.

AJ giggled: Yeah!

Haleigh nodded: Yeah we were here. She loved it

[annoyedkayah2395]

Chenice grinned: Thank you nana... for everything.

Jabari: Yeah? Cause ari doll mean alot to me I don't wanna mess it up cause I disappointed yall. Yall mean a lot to me as well

Ardian twisted his mouth glancing at his grandfather

Tasha nodded kissing AJ cheek: Are yall happy?

Ray: I mean this shit nice.

Kandice smiled: I bet they spoil her. He's a lil shit but he loves you

[thatssonanii]

Nana Jones: Thank you for bringing joy no matter what. You are yourself and you do not water it down or adjust for anyone. I know that's why Morgan and Haleigh love you.

Grandma Jones: You will know if you mess up before I ever said a word. But that time won't come.

Grandpa Jones chuckled: Don't twist your lips at me. Keep going, include yourself. Because you absolutely needed and wanted it.

Tyrell: The people I love is happy so am I.

Haleigh laughed: Yes, they do. He is, I told him that he doesn't have to be like that all the time because he's not like that at home with just me and Sassy. I also told him that he's just like Daddy.

[annoyedkayah2395]

Chenice: It is. I try to make sure they're always happy

Jabari hugged her: Thank you Grandma.

Isa yelled: Don't hug my grandma Bari!

Tasha nodded: I'm glad Pretty gyal is getting this

Ardian: I'm not gonna necessarily say I needed it. But I wanted it for my girls. Best you getting grandpa.

Kandice laughed: I told your father the same thing and he denied it. One day they get along. We hope

[thatssonanii]

Nana Jones: I know they make sure youre happy as well. But does Luke make sure?

Grandma Jones laughed: Isabella, are you being like your mama and big brother?

Tyrell kissed her head: I'm glad you and nephew are getting it too.

Grandpa Jones chuckled: Fine, be hard headed like your father in law and dont say it. I know the truth.

Haleigh laughed: One day. Im glad you and Mama Tasha are getting along.

[annoyedkayah2395]

Chenice smiled: Yes he do

Isa giggled: Noooooo

Ardian laughed putting his hands in his pockets: I mean it's cool and all. But you know who my focus is on grandpa

Tasha stared at her brother

AJ giggled

Kandice: Yeah she's our mean gyal. Stubborn as hell. She act like she don't wanna be around us but then we see a different side to her

[thatssonanii]

Nana Jones nodded and smiled: Good, I figured but I had to ask. I like him for you.

Grandma Jones laughed: Uhuh, I'm watching you. Jabari, you okay?

Grandpa Jones stared at him for a moment: You are just as hard headed and stubborn as your mama, maybe more. And the thing about hard headed and stubborn people, they're the lucky ones cause they don't have to deal with it we do.

Tyrell laughed: I ain't lie. You and nephew be acting like yall unaffected and uninterested. Glad niece people ain't the type to be deterred by that

Haleigh nodded: Yeah, Ardian acts like that too. To be honest it's one of the things I don't particularly care for about him but I choose my battles.

[annoyedkayah2395]

Chenice squealed: Really?

Jabari smiled: I'm good grandma. You aight?

Tasha tickled AJ: We just being careful. Is that wrong?

Ray: Nah it ain't

Ardian: Yes I'm stubborn but within good reason grandpa. I'm blessed that we got this. I don't take this granted. I guess I'm still protecting Hae in case things go left.

Kandice: he's stubborn in general or when it comes to you and sassy?

[thatssonanii]

Nana Jones: Yes ma'am. He's a sweetheart. I can tell by how he looks at you that he loves you.

Grandma Jones: As long as my babies are okay, I'm okay

Tyrell stared at them: Careful isn't wrong. You can be careful and still enjoy yourself and act like you like them instead of acting like you hate that they're all here.

Grandpa Jones chuckled to himself: I hear you but I'll leave you with this. You can be protective without checking out. If you constantly keep watch for the other shoe to drop you won't enjoy the other and you just might lose it.

Grandpa Jones squeezed his shoulder then walked off.

Haleigh: In general but today me and Rai. Don't get me wrong I love that he wants to protect me and her and I know that Luke and Elijah got used to it but I don't know. It can't be fun having to always guess if someone likes or hates you and is just tolerating you. I'm gonna go to the bathroom.

Grandma Jones frowned, waving her hands to stop him: Hey, uhn uhn. I do not want to hear anymore about shooting people and guns that's inappropriate in front of the children and frankly disrespectful in front of me and your grandfather. My sons don't say it in front of me so neither will anyone else. We're eating and discussing charity.

Apryl: Yes ma'am, I agree.

Haleigh raised a brow at Ardian and whispered: Be nice, you don't have up be a little shit all the time. Please?

[annoyedkayah2395]

Roman: I'm not that bad.

Rich: How much yall usually buy in gift cards?

Nova giggled: Bari got in trouble

AJ giggled

Jabari: Sorry Grandma. My bad. I didn't get in trouble Nova. Who's side you on? Sorry grandpa

Ardian nodded smiling: I got you mamas. Me and ya pops cool

[thatssonanii]

Kandice laughed: Yes, you are.

Grandpa Jones: Honestly, I never really look at the number. I just know it's more than enough. Ray usually looks at the number that's his job. Its okay, Jabari

Isa giggled: He did. Him was bad.

Grandma Jones: It's fine.

Haleigh: Promise?

[annoyedkayah2395]

Roman smiled: Maybe

Rich nodded: I'll help

Apryl: Do yall know the owner of the shelter? We can get them something.

Nana Jones smiled and winked at Jabari

Jabari grinned: I'm liked again!

Luke laughed: Me and my brothers get toys

Ardian grinned: I promise

[thatssonanii]

Kandice laughed: Maybe... okay

Grandpa Jones: We appreciate the help and I know they will too.

Grandma Jones smiled: You were never disliked, Jabari. Correction doesn't mean you're unloved

Morgan: And we can get the female products too

Haleigh closed her eyes for a second: You know I love you

[annoyedkayah2395]

Ray: We always got you pop.

Ty grinned

Chenice squealed: Look at us!

Jabari nodded: Yes grandma.

Ardian kissed her cheek: I love you more.

Nova giggled stealing from Ari plate

[thatssonanii]

Grandpa Jones: That's why I love yall.

Elijah: Being charitable and helping the people. We should do a bank to school drive at home.

Grandma Jones: I love you, okay Jabari?

Haleigh: I picked up with you

Ari gasped: Did my Novie take from my plate?

[annoyedkayah2395]

When they were done Ardian was standing next to Grandpa Jones with Haleigh: That's for Mr. Willie and his wife?

Jabari was standing next to Grandma Jones smiling: I'm sorry for saying what I said. I didn't mean to offend.

Chenice: Nana Jones im gonna be your favorite!

Ray, Ty, and Tasha was standing next to each other watching everybody while Tasha held AJ

[thatssonanii]

Grandpa Jones: Yup that's for them. What you think?

Grandma Jones kissed his head: I accept your apology. I know you didn't.

Nana Jones laughed: I like your spunk. You know that?

Tyrell: What yall thinking?

Haleigh bumped her mama: Still okay?

[annoyedkayah2395]

Chenice squealed: Yall heard that?! Nana likes my spunk!

Jabari grinned: thank you for accepting me.

Ardian looked and nodded: That's good grandpa.

Tasha tickled AJ: I think I need to get paid next time I have to be nice

Ray laughed

Kandice smiled: Yes pretty girl. You? You was right at home

[thatssonanii]

Morgan laughed: We heard it, Nicey. Please.

Nana Jones laughed: You always so happy and that's what everybody needs. You have a sweet spirit and you mean well.

Grandma Jones: You have me no reason not to accept you, Jabari. You are always enough.

Grandpa Jones: Glad I have your approval. What's on your mind?

Tyrell laughed: How much you think would be enough?

Haleigh: Yes ma'am. Cause I am. Home away from home

[annoyedkayah2395]

Chenice: Really nana? My happiness is needed around yall!

Jabari: Yeah? Even if I dont like people? Call people stupid?

Ardian: All of this. I was content with it just being us but I know Pigtails needed this. Wanted this.

Tasha hummed: Until my little heart is happy. Right AJ? What yall two thinking?

Ray: Just watching

Kandice chuckled: this was where he had you and Sassy when we couldn't get in contact with you?

[thatssonanii]

Nana Jones laughed and squeezed her hand: Okay, baby, okay. You don't have to broadcast it all. Some stuff is just for you and I.

Grandma Jones smiled: You're not the only one in this family that does that so those are not deal breakers.

Grandpa Jones: And you needed and wanted this too. Don't leave you out.

Tyrell chuckled: Yeah okay, brat. Same, thinking.

AJ giggled: Yeah!

Haleigh nodded: Yeah we were here. She loved it

[annoyedkayah2395]

Chenice grinned: Thank you nana... for everything.

Jabari: Yeah? Cause ari doll mean alot to me I don't wanna mess it up cause I disappointed yall. Yall mean a lot to me as well

Ardian twisted his mouth glancing at his grandfather

Tasha nodded kissing AJ cheek: Are yall happy?

Ray: I mean this shit nice.

Kandice smiled: I bet they spoil her. He's a lil shit but he loves you

[thatssonanii]

Nana Jones: Thank you for bringing joy no matter what. You are yourself and you do not water it down or adjust for anyone. I know that's why Morgan and Haleigh love you.

Grandma Jones: You will know if you mess up before I ever said a word. But that time won't come.

Grandpa Jones chuckled: Don't twist your lips at me. Keep going, include yourself. Because you absolutely needed and wanted it.

Tyrell: The people I love is happy so am I.

Haleigh laughed: Yes, they do. He is, I told him that he doesn't have to be like that all the time because he's not like that at home with just me and Sassy. I also told him that he's just like Daddy.

[annoyedkayah2395]

Chenice: It is. I try to make sure they're always happy

Jabari hugged her: Thank you Grandma.

Isa yelled: Don't hug my grandma Bari!

Tasha nodded: I'm glad Pretty gyal is getting this

Ardian: I'm not gonna necessarily say I needed it. But I wanted it for my girls. Best you getting grandpa.

Kandice laughed: I told your father the same thing and he denied it. One day they get along. We hope

[thatssonanii]

Nana Jones: I know they make sure youre happy as well. But does Luke make sure?

Grandma Jones laughed: Isabella, are you being like your mama and big brother?

Tyrell kissed her head: I'm glad you and nephew are getting it too.

Grandpa Jones chuckled: Fine, be hard headed like your father in law and dont say it. I know the truth.

Haleigh laughed: One day. Im glad you and Mama Tasha are getting along.

[annoyedkayah2395]

Chenice smiled: Yes he do

Isa giggled: Noooooo

Ardian laughed putting his hands in his pockets: I mean it's cool and all. But you know who my focus is on grandpa

Tasha stared at her brother

AJ giggled

Kandice: Yeah she's our mean gyal. Stubborn as hell. She act like she don't wanna be around us but then we see a different side to her

[thatssonanii]

Nana Jones nodded and smiled: Good, I figured but I had to ask. I like him for you.

Grandma Jones laughed: Uhuh, I'm watching you. Jabari, you okay?

Grandpa Jones stared at him for a moment: You are just as hard headed and stubborn as your mama, maybe more. And the thing about hard headed and stubborn people, they're the lucky ones cause they don't have to deal with it we do.

Tyrell laughed: I ain't lie. You and nephew be acting like yall unaffected and uninterested. Glad niece people ain't the type to be deterred by that

Haleigh nodded: Yeah, Ardian acts like that too. To be honest it's one of the things I don't particularly care for about him but I choose my battles.

[annoyedkayah2395]

Melanii: thank you for telling me.

KJ: Ma! You hear that?

Ray chuckled: Yall are welcome.

Kai moved closer to his mother: Yes ma'am

Nana Jones: We can have 5 more minutes together.

Harmony shushed her friend whispering: Yes and the pics are safe

Grandpa Jones: You not lying to me diamond?

Ardian chuckled: My bad Junie

Rezar: That's the mean twin one? @thatssonanii

[thatssonanii]

Bree nodded: No problem. I do what I can.

Tia chuckled: I heard it, KJ. What do you want me to do?

Kia popped him: I know you didn't bring a girl in here, give her food and not introduce her. Too busy smiling at her

Carlito smiled: I'd like that, Nana. I like having you to myself

JuJu squealed softly then whispered: Lemme see, lemme see. Did you tell your auntie or no?

Haleigh shook her head: Not really, no. I'll be alright

Roman chuckled: Technically Melly is the meanest one of the triplets. But out of the boys, Mikey is the meanest.

[annoyedkayah2395]

As promised Kai grabbed Bree hand and started dancing with her speaking softly to her: You good?

Hazel chuckled watching her daughter: oh that's who her dance partner is

Ray chuckled: Better be lucky the day over for us.

Nana Jones glanced at Lito then looked at Tilda

Ardian tapped his wife: aight mamas you can't tell me no

[thatssonanii]

Bree nodded dancing with him: Yeah, I'm okay. Trying to be cordial with her.

Apryl nodded: Yup that's Kai. He's the level headed cousin.

Tyrell: You good, big bro?

Grandma Jones spoke softly: I'm listening

Haleigh laughed: Hmmm I can't?

Melanii: Wanna dance, Lito?

[annoyedkayah2395]

Kai: And how is that going?

Hazel: Oh he's the one that make sure everything stays smooth?

Ray looked at his fathers picture and nodded: Yeah man. You?

Mir went to grab his camera to take pictures

Kia rubbed her temples: so not only is he happy feet but he got a girlfriend.

Nana Jones spoke softly: we gonna have to be patient with my baby.

Ardian grinned: Nope

Carlito shook his head: Nah we can just sit and talk.

[thatssonanii]

Bree shrugged: She only wanted to ask me about Nonna and she gave me a compliment. Other than that, she really didn't wanna talk to me. Which i figured

Apryl nodded: Yup, that's him. He's the daddy-cousin.

Tyrell shrugged: I always am. Ain't I l?

Junie helped his brother.

Kalina laughed: He's checking on Bree. And you know we have handsome sons, it was bound to happen

Grandma Jones: Yes, we are. You're right. He's young

Haleigh: Well let's go, Mr. Bekim.

Melanii nodded: Okay. What do you wanna talk about?

[annoyedkayah2395]

Kai mumbled: why she asking bout Auntie?

Hazel laughed: Poor baby I know he stay stressed

Kia stared at her: Who's side you on?

Ray pulled him outside: Talk to me and don't lie to me. What's wrong?

Nana jones: but how do we feel about his girlfriend?

Ardian: I'm sending you away for a week

Carlito: Did you have fun? Did you like the food?

[thatssonanii]

Bree: She can tell that Nonna doesn't like her or thinks she doesn't. Which ... is probably not entirely false.

Apryl laughed: Oooh always. But they listen to him. It's cute.

Kalina laughed and hugged her side: I'm on your but I'm just saying.

Tyrell shook his head: Nothing, I'm good. Just thinking about speedy, bope i gave him advice that pop would've. It's hard without him.

Grandma Jones: She's a nice girl. I think that jealousy brings out the ugliness that was already inside of us.

Haleigh frowned: Uhn uhn. A week? Ardi, no.

Melanii: The good was great like usual. I had fun, it was cool. You wanna come over when you're done here?

[annoyedkayah2395]

Kai snorted: Auntie just protective...

Kia pinched her: he's not my baby anymore

Nana Jones: a learning experience but our baby got it

Ray nodded: Yeah speedy don't look at this holiday the same. Shit we don't either. What you tell him?

Ardian grinned: Nah mamas.. you gonna go. I want you to not be in mommy mode.

Carlito: Nah.. I wanna hang with the old man and my siblings today. See how talented Mir is with the camera?

[thatssonanii]

Bree: Yeah, she is. But i also know she don't like mess. Anyway ... when after you gonna go out with Faidra?

Kalina hissed and laughed: Stop pinching me. No you mean he's not a baby anymore but he'll always be your baby.

Grandma Jones: Yes he does. He's smart. Same way Ardian figured it out, he will.

Tyrell shook his head: No. That not what I meant. I'm talking about the advice I gave him about Lito.

Haleigh shook her head: No, Ardi. I can't leave yall for a week. Could you imagine you with the five of them for seven days? No. I thought you were talking about something else not sending me away.

Melanii nodded: Okay. Yeah, he's very talented.

[annoyedkayah2395]

Kai: man.... don't you start Bree.

Hazel: Wait.. if Kai is the level headed one who's the trouble maker?

Junie put a piece of paper in front of tasha: That's going on your menu. You're welcome.

Nana Jones nodded: I hope so Tilda. Think uh... Re..

Ray rubbed his face: Aiden been discussing it.. what the fuck been happening?

Tasha stared at Junie then the paper

Ardian: I want you to. I don't want you burning yourself out or anything. I want you take this break please.

Carlito: Come on gotta show you my grandpas.

[thatssonanii]

Bree laughed: I'm just asking. She's pretty and you clearly like her.

Apryl snorted: Pick one. Aiden, Lil Nico and Malik.

Amir took a picture them smiled: Please, Nonna

Grandma Jones nodded giving her time to finish.

Tyrell: Basically Melanii don't want Lito around Bree. Told him that she couldn't ride with them in his car to whatever party. He spent that whole party not talking to none of them.

Kandice laughed: Say yes, Tasha

Haleigh: Baby ... I'm okay. I'm gonna miss yall too bad

[annoyedkayah2395]

Kai: When the time is right. Speaking of why you don't have anybody special?

Tasha: Get out my face.

Hazel laughed: Malik is his little brother right?

Ray rubbed his face: But she ain't buy that. Fuck

Nana Jones: Re... rezar.. think he take us home?

Junie grinned: That means yes. Come on Mir.

Ardian: We got FaceTime. Please mamas. I want you out of mommy and wife mode

[thatssonanii]

Bree frowned a little and laughed: For what? I don't need to have somebody. Especially not if they think they're gonna trip about me being friends with Lito and yall. Stress i don't need, I'm too young for that.

Amir giggled and hugged her then went back to taking pictures.

Kandice laughed: They don't care nothing about you being mean

Apryl nodded: Yeah that's his little brother. He love admitting Kai too but don't let nobody bother him.

Tyrell: Right but the issue is she think she can control what he doing tryna keep him to herself cause she scared Bree gon take em. Apparently the boys say stuff where she can hear.

Grandma Jones nodded then called Rezar over: I'm getting pretty tired. Do you mind taking us off, son?

Haleigh's eyes watered: You don't want me home? You hate me?

[annoyedkayah2395]

While Haleigh was away Ardian was bonding with the kids by teaching them different recipes. Ardian: I can't do the coco bread like your Nonna, auntie grandma, and nana but I'm trying. We can make some sandwiches with it

Harmony giggled: you did good daddy

[thatssonanii]

Carlito grinned: You did what you could, old man.

Junie giggled: We gotta taste it first. It might be nasty.

Cali reached trying to get it

[annoyedkayah2395]

Ardian laughed breaking small pieces off for them to try: next time I'll have your Nonna do the recipe. I got your old man.

Mir ate it and smiled: I like it

Harmony ate hers: That's not bad daddy

[thatssonanii]

Junie: Its not Nonna's but I like it, Daddy

Cali smacked on it and reached again.

Carlito laughed: My bad. It's good though, I like it. Cali, you gotta finish that piece first.

[annoyedkayah2395]

Mir giggled: Can't be greedy Cali. Chew that first

Harmony helped Cali

Ardian laughed: Thank yall. We make some sandwiches. Yall get your chips and juice we can have a movie date

[thatssonanii]

Cali babbled excitedlyas she ate.

Junie giggled: We be back, Daddy.

Carlito: Nugget, grab Bubbles so she don't fall. Dad, did you make something for Cali to eat?

[annoyedkayah2395]

Harmony nodded grabbing Cali: We be back.

Ardian nodded: I heated her up some of the rice and peas and shredded up some chicken

[thatssonanii]

Carlito: You gotta blend it, Dad. She's gonna choke on the shredded chicken. We'll be back.

Grandpa Jones bumped him once the kids were gone: He sounds like the dad, not you.

[annoyedkayah2395]

Ardian smiled going to blend Cali food: Yeah he do. You know Pigtails is my brains when it comes to the kids. But she needed the break.

[thatssonanii]

Grandpa Jones chuckled: She is and she did. Where'd she go?

[annoyedkayah2395]

Ardian: a 7 day cruise. Got the spa treatment and all that good stuff I know she needed. She didn't want to go but she had to.

[thatssonanii]

Grandpa Jones whistled and laughed: She is gonna get you when she gets back. You know how hard it is to make a call from a cruise ship? Well deserved though. You sent her alone?

[annoyedkayah2395]

Ardian laughed: I know but I want her to unwind and not think bout what could be going wrong here. Nah I sent her with the in laws, nicey, and Morgan. Try the bread grandpa

[thatssonanii]

Grandpa Jones laughed and tried it: Pretty good, I think your missing something. The secret ingredient. Well you know she's gonna think about that but hopefully not as much. She doesn't trust you not to be one of her kids which is fair

[annoyedkayah2395]

Ardian: What's the secret ingredient? Fussing? I know she thinks I'm go out and buy a dinosaur

[thatssonanii]

Grandpa Jones chuckled: Good guess. Sprinkle of nutmeg. Yes she does but you know better. Don't you?

[annoyedkayah2395]

Ardian pouted: Yes sir I do.

[thatssonanii]

Grandpa Jones: Good. Good thing is the kids are old enough to be self sufficient except Cali. However they are big enough to tell on you.

[annoyedkayah2395]

Ardian: They tell on me but they want me keep they bad deeds to myself.

[thatssonanii]

Grandpa Jones laughed: Life of a father. You and Cali doing okay?

[annoyedkayah2395]

Ardian nodded: Yeah I think we are. She smiles at me and talks to me. Especially when her big brothers or nugget do something for her

[thatssonanii]

Grandpa Jones: Good, enjoy it. Your crew is coming back, I'll check on you later.

[annoyedkayah2395]

Ardian smiled taking the sandwich meat out the refrigerator then checked his phone checking the reviews for Tasha restaurant

Mir giggled: We back! I got you a soda and chips for your sandwich daddy.

[thatssonanii]

Carlito peeked over his shoulder: What you doing, old man?

Junie: And we got Cali pudding.

Harmony adjusted Cali in her hip: You make her food?

[annoyedkayah2395]

Ardian smiled: Thank yall and yes I did. Checking your Nonna reviews. So far so good. One night we can have dinner there

Mir grinned: That's our Nonna!

Cali babbled loudly

[thatssonanii]

Carlito grinned: I'm proud of Nonna. We can do that. Umm Dad, the cousins wanna go to a pool party tonight. Can I?

Junie: Nonna do good because I helped her pick dishes!

Harmony: Say yaaaay, Bubbles. Your girlfriend going too so yall can be in the corner together?

Harmony and the twins made kissing noises.

[annoyedkayah2395]

Ardian became sad but shook it off: Who all gonna be there and do the parents know? And do Melanii parents know?

Cali giggled

[thatssonanii]

Carlito watched his dad: I won't go if you don't want me too. You don't look like you want me to go. They'll be alright without me tonight. Besides my cousins I don't know. Lanii wasnt going. Ima stay here though, don't worry about it.

[annoyedkayah2395]

Ardian frowned a little: Nah I want you go but i also don't want you getting into trouble. People you don't know? Parents aren't there?

Harmony stared: Wait... how daddy know that

[thatssonanii]

Carlito: You looked sad like you don't want me to go. I'll stay home. Parents not there. We ain't gon get in no trouble, we always good. I'm sure it'll be people there we know.

Junie shrugged: He like Mommy and know everything i guess.

[annoyedkayah2395]

Ardian: You can go Lil Man. Go have fun

Mir was fixing his sandwich

[thatssonanii]

Carlito stepped outside the kitchen with his dad: I'm still gonna eat dinner and watch a movie with y'all. Is that why you looked sad? Cause you thought i wasn't gonna spend time with y'all? Or you just ain't want me to go at all? Be honest with me, Dad.

Junie fixed his sandwich: Chicken nugget, do you go to parties?

[annoyedkayah2395]

Ardian shook his head: Nah just the dad blues that's all. I promise I'm good. Go to the party Lil Man... I'm not liking the whole parents not being there but I trust you and your cousins to leave when shit goes left

Harmony shook her head: No. Do the twins go to parties

Mir giggled: Junie don't like people

[thatssonanii]

Carlito was still unsure but nodded, smiling a bit: Okay, Dad. Parents are never at the parties we go to.

Junie shook her head: We been to birthday parties and stuff. But that's it. You don't like parties or mommy tell you no?

Cali grabbed a piece of turkey trying to stuff it in her mouth.

[annoyedkayah2395]

Ardian smiled grabbing one of his cards: curfew is 12 but in case yall leave early. Yall can get some snacks or something. Anything happens call. Aight?

Mir grabbed the turkey quickly breaking it up: Bubbles you can't do that. You can choke.

Harmony smiled: Good job Mir. Mommy tells me no but it's okay I like hanging with ny little brothers and my best friend Juju.

[thatssonanii]

Carlito took it smiling: Bet, thanks. But can I get a extra hour? We gon go to Waffle House after and I still gotta drop KJ and em back off.

Junie; Good job, Mir. You a good big brother like Lito and Daddy. We like hanging with you too, chicken nugget.

Cali frowned but ate anyway

[annoyedkayah2395]

Ardian nodded: No later than 1:30

Mir grinned: Thank you Junie. Good job Cali

Harmony kissed his head: Thank you

[thatssonanii]

Carlito grinned and hugged him to thank him then went back to the kitchen: Uh oh, Cali what you eating?

Junie giggled: She grabbed the turkey but Mir made sure she didn't choke.

Cali babbled excitedly to Carlito then snatched a pickle to suck on. Her face scrunched at the sourness

[annoyedkayah2395]

Ardian laughed: Good job Mir. It's sour Bubbles?

Harmony giggled: Why you snatch the pickle bubbles?

Mir giggled: Thank you

[thatssonanii]

Carlito laughed watching her: It's sour but she not letting go. Take a video and send it to twin, dad.

Junie giggled: She greedy like Daddy

Cali giggled but kept the pickle in her mouth.

[annoyedkayah2395]

Ardian recorded his kids sending it to his wife: sandwiches made?

Mir kissed Cali cheek: it's okay to be greedy. Yes sir mine is made

Harmony laughed: Kinda like when I had a lemon for the first time. Yes mine is made and we chose sharktale

[thatssonanii]

Carlito: I'm almost done. Yall go head and get started. Exactly like that, Nugget. Your face was tore up but you kept going.

Junie: Yes sir, it's made. You right, Mir. We all get that from Daddy. Chicken Nugget ate lemons?

Cali threw the pickle down then reached for Harmony sandwhich.

[annoyedkayah2395]

Ardian rubbed his head picking the pickle up: Bubbles no.

Mir: Can't be doing that bubbles

Harmony giggled: Yes I did and bubbles we don't do that

[thatssonanii]

Cali poked her lip out and cried.

Carlito picked her up and rocked her: Its alright, Cali. I know you hungry but that's not yours. Dad, got you some food. And you can have the pickle.

Junie: Bubbles probably hungry. I think it's been a long time since she ate, Daddy.

[annoyedkayah2395]

Ardian took them to their little movie theater making sure they were set up putting Sharktale on: come on Cali so daddy can feed you

Mir wiggled: I think daddy should do a little upgrade on the movie theater

[thatssonanii]

Cali reached for him giggling.

Junie: Me too! It's time

Carlito smiled: Yeah, what kinda upgrade you thinking, Mir?

[annoyedkayah2395]

Mir smiled: I think we should repaint it. Get another TV. Hang posters up. Pictures. And vending machines

Ardian chuckled grabbing Cali so he could feed her listening

Harmony: Ooooh cause we do need to hang some of Mir pictures up

[thatssonanii]

Junie: Yeah mir got nice pictures! And we can put up mommy favorite picture of her and daddy.

Carlito chewed his food up: So vending machines along with the lil concession area? We charging the cousins.

Cali bounced excitedly trying to get to the spoon

[annoyedkayah2395]

Mir smiled: Thank you. Yeah and we get to switch the snacks out and do different ones. And Lito can draw something cause he a good drawer and Junie can make us a Playlist

Harmony: I like those ideas.

Ardian smiled feeding Cali: Good bubbles?

[thatssonanii]

Junie: I like that, Mir. You have good ideas like Mommy.

Carlito: You really want me to draw something?

Cali wiggled and smacked on her food.

[annoyedkayah2395]

Mir grinned: Thank you Junie. Yeah I do Lito

Harmony: And we gotta hang mommy poster up

Ardian smiled: Taste good?

[thatssonanii]

Junie: You welcome. And yours too, chicken nugget, from the tour!

Carlito smiled: I got you, Mir. Ima do it that.

Cali giggled and leaned against him

[annoyedkayah2395]

Once Lito left Ardian made sure the twins and Harmony took their showers then went to clean up calling his wife

[thatssonanii]

Haleigh answered sitting up against her headboard: My big baby! Hiiii

Carlito pulled up to his grandparents house and texted his cousins to let them know he was outside

[annoyedkayah2395]

Ardian grinned: Pigtails! Hiiiiii mamas. How are you?

KJ ran out jumping in the front seat: what up menace!

[thatssonanii]

Haleigh grinned: I miss my babies but I'm good. I'm having fun. How are you? Are you getting beat up?

Jah and Dash hopped in the backseat.

Jah squeezed Carlito shoulder: What's up, big cuz?

[annoyedkayah2395]

Ardian smiled: Good exactly what I wanted. I'm good. Yeah I am but it's worth it. The bekim babies want to upgrade the movie theater

Dash: This car nice. Auntie or Unc's?

Carlito laughed: this mine

[thatssonanii]

Haleigh laughed softly: Of course they do. And we're going to do, aren't we? Is Cali okay?

KJ looked around: So this the car Melanii thought she could control? I mean shit nice as hell but cant let her do that.

Jah: This roomy as hell too. What you be doing in this backseat, menace? You cleaned it?

[annoyedkayah2395]

Ardian: Yeah we are. Paint job and everything. Vending machines as well. Yeah bubbles good. She tried a pickle then tried to take nugget sandwich

Dash hit KJ shaking his head

Carlito chuckled: My little brothers and sisters be back there with their snacks. Yes I cleaned it. She don't think she can control it

[thatssonanii]

Haleigh laughed I love that they wanna do that. How did she like the pickle? Nooo she tried to take gremlin sandwich. My baby was hungry.

KJ laughed and put the addressin the gps: Man, I'm just saying. Let's go, menace. I told Aiden we was gonna beat em there.

Jah laughed: Suuuure and it only be my siblings in my backseat too.

[annoyedkayah2395]

Ardian made Cali exact face: But she didn't let the pickle go. Did you get the video I sent?

Carlito laughed driving them to the house: My dad gave me a extra hour so no later than 1:30.

[thatssonanii]

Haleigh laughed: I can't with her. I did but I called my big baby first before I looked. Where my other babies?

KJ nodded: We can leave about 12:30. Aye there go the rest of em ... we beat em!

[annoyedkayah2395]

Ardian grinned: I'm your big baby! Me! Lito went to a pool party one of his cousins met a girl. The other three taking showers.

Carlito laughed stepping out: here we go

Aiden: Aye yall cheated!

[thatssonanii]

Haleigh smiled: Yeah m Yes, you're my big baby. Let me guess, Jah or KJ. You forgot one. Where's my mini me?

KJ laughed: Nah, my boy. You just drive like a granny. You beat Rik though.

Dash slapped hands with Aiden: What's up, cuzzo?

[annoyedkayah2395]

Ardian grabbed Cali showing her to his wife: say hey mommy

Aiden laughed: Nah I don't. Not trying get my ass beat. Nothing much ready for this pool party. Pretty princess joining us

Carlito mumbled: Don't start

[thatssonanii]

Cali giggled and babbled excitedly.

Haleigh smiled: There's mommy's mini me! Hiii my little baby. She look like she ready to go to sleep, y'all wore my baby out.

KJ glanced at Carlito then shook his head: Nah. He ain't wanna get in trouble so just us.

Malik snorted: But we wanted her here though. She fun and she let me say stuff that Kai don't.

Rik stared then wiped a hand over his face: Let's go inside. Don't none of y'all get us in trouble.... Malik, Lil Nico, Menace, KJ and Jah.

[annoyedkayah2395]

Ardian laughed: Yeah she been playing and eating and bullying me. Look just like you, Pigtails

Kai hit his brother; They not Rik.

Lil Nico grinned: No promises

Carlito mumbled

[thatssonanii]

Cali babbled to Haleigh and hit Ardian.

Haleigh laughed: Daddy did all that? You had to hit him? Yeah she does, my mini. Have you been sleeping and not drinking energy drinks?

Malik flinched: Aye, see? This is what I was talking about.

AJ hit his cousin: Auntie Ky said to behave.

KJ walked them into the backyard gate and looked around grinning: Damn, it's a ass of people. Lemme find shawty before she lose her spot.

[annoyedkayah2395]

Ardian made biting noises at Cali: I've been sleeping. I've had one ghost. Just one mamas.

Lil Nico scrunched his face: Long as she not bossy

Aiden laughed: It's some cute girls in here but Kai, Lito and Rik spoken for

[thatssonanii]

Cali hit him again and babbled at him.

Haleigh laughed: She gonna get you. Don't have anymore, Ardi. No more. What did yall have for dinner?

KJ frowned: Hell nah. My mama would beat my ass if I let her do that. Besides I'm only here for a few weeks, I'm just having fun. Found her, I'll be back.

Malik: Right so yall go find yall something safe to do. We gotta go look around.

Jah grinned: We gotta go see what we see.

[annoyedkayah2395]

Ardian bit Cali hands playfully: I got you mamas. I made homemade coco bread and we made sandwiches.

The cousins were walking around

Carlito: I'm buying waffle house for us when we leave

Kai nodded: Preciate that Cuz

[thatssonanii]

Cali growled at Ardian

Haleigh laughed: Alright, leave my little baby alone. Sounds good, I'm jealous though. You never made coco bread for me, Ardi.

Lil Nico grinned: That mean i get to keep my money. Good lookin out, menace.

Malik squinted then laughed and hit Aiden and AJ's arms. He spoke lowly: Aye ... ain't that Bree in that girl lap?

[annoyedkayah2395]

Ardian growled back smiling: When you come back I'll make it for you. Be our date night

Aiden looked then grinned: Well I be damned. Let's go say hi. Pretty princess, Bree is here

Carlito laughed: Yeah whatever. She is? She usually come says hi

Kai shook his head knowing: The three stooges

[thatssonanii]

Cali giggled and laid her head on his shoulder.

Haleigh: Deal. My baby sleepy, lay her down. Has she been sleeping in her crib?

Malik walked over with them and tapped Bree on the shoulder grinning: What's up, Bree?

Lil Nico grinned: You replacing us?

Bree laughed and got up: Of course yall would find me. No I'm not replacing yall. Hey pretty princess.

[annoyedkayah2395]

Ardian laid Cali down making sure she was comfortable: Yeah she has. So tell me what you been doing mamas?

Kai looked between Skyee and Bree nodding slowly: Aiden, Lil Nico, and Malik keep it cute and I mean it.

Aiden grinned at Skyee: What's up? What's your name and how you know Bree?

Carlito smiled going to hug her: Why you didn't tell me you was coming ? Who you with?

[thatssonanii]

Haleigh watched him and pouted: I miss my little baby. Umm we had port day today so we went snorkeling, did some shopping, took pictures. Uuh on the ship I've gone to the spa, the comedy show, we ate a bunch and had drinks.

Skye laughed as she got up and waved: Hey. I'm Skye. Me and her met at the mall not too long ago.

Malik sucked his teeth: I do what I want. Anyway, I'm Malik. Bree's favorite.

Bree hugged him and laughed: Aiden's my favorite, you're second cause you didn't share with me, Malik. I'm with Skye. Her friend is throwing the party and she wanted me to come with her. Where's your other half, pretty princess?

[annoyedkayah2395]

Ardian removed his shirt getting comfortable: Yeah? Good. I'm glad you had an eventful day. She miss you too but mommy needed this break.

Aiden: I'm Aiden. The mall huh? Yall was looking very comfortable.

Rik: I'm Rik and I have a twin name Nika. Nice to meet you

Kai hit his brother: I'm Kai. Nice to meet you.

AJ smirked: I'm AJ and this my cousin Jayceon but we call him Lil Nico. Nice to meet you

Carlito: KJ said don't bring her. Hi Skyee, I'm lito.

[thatssonanii]

Haleigh raised a brow: Yes, I did. I miss seeing that every day. What have you been doing?

Malik sucked his teeth and laughed: Don't be hitting on me, ignore Kai, he boring. Man, that was one time. Real comfortable. I like ya hair.

Lil Nico grinned looking between them then frowned: Stop telling people my name Jayceon. Anyway, we interrupt something?

Skye laughed: Thank you. Nice to meet yall. Bree told me all about yall. Especially you, Lito. I need to go check on my friend real quick. I'll be back, beautiful.

Skye squeezed Bree's side and kissed her cheek.

Bree blushed a little asks smiled: Okay, I'll probably be with them. But text if you can't find me. Yall are fine, you didn't interrupt nothing, we were just talking. Oooh since when you listen to KJ, princess?

[annoyedkayah2395]

Ardian flexed: Working out. Making sure the bekim kids behave. I got a little zoom call with Nas one day this week. I'm nervous

Aiden grinned at Bree: You like her?

Carlito watched the interaction: I feel like you didn't tell me something Bree

AJ: That she could've been liking melanii instead of you.

Kai rubbed his temples: This is why I'm the manager. Bree we like skyee. Long as she treat you right.

[thatssonanii]

Haleigh got distracted for a second: It shows. Don't be nervous. You rapping again?

Bree laughed: Maybe a little, Aiden. Thank you, Kai. We're just talking right now. I honestly hadn't told anybody yet, Lito. I didn't know how but since yall are here and saw me. I'm bi. Is that a problem?

Malik smiled: Nah ain't no problem with me. That's crazy, Melanii worried about Bree taking you when you should've been worried about Bree taking her.

Lil Nico laughed: You saw that blush, Kai. Skye definitely treating her right. You got good taste, Bree. She's pretty. But wait ... are yall like both fems? Or like one of y'all a stud and the other a fem? Or yall both studs?

[annoyedkayah2395]

Ardian grinned: You like it? Yes I do. Been practicing a little.

Kai: Of course it isn't Bree. I hate agreeing with my brother but he got a point

Rik snorted: I hate agreeing with Malik too

Aiden laughed: shit ain't no issue with me.

Carlito smiled: Of course not. Long as you happy bree.

[thatssonanii]

Haleigh: You know I do, Ardi. All it took was a video call with him to get you to rap? If i would've known that, I would've made it happen sooner.

Bree covered her laugh: I mean we're both fems but she's a little masculine sometimes. I appreciate the support.

Skye called out to Bree, she promised to find them before she left then went to Skye.

Malik, Lil Nico and AJ turned to grin at Carlito.

Malik: That's crazy. You got your girl stolen by another girl. Damn

[annoyedkayah2395]

Ardian laughed: and see I was gonna give you a little show while i took my shower. But you know I like to be behind the scenes mamas

Kai: Yall leave Carlito alone.

Aiden: Nah we gon fuck with the pretty princess

AJ: Damn melanii was worried about the wrong shit.

[thatssonanii]

Haleigh laughed: Aht aht, you're still going too. Says the actor and model. No behind the scenes, you should be in front of the camera sometimes.

Malik laughed: You know we can't do that.

Lil Nico shrugged: He should've been like Uncle Lo. Clearly she would've been down for it.

Carlito sucked his teeth at his cousins: I never said I liked Bree in the first place to even do that. Yall think she really like girls or she just doing that?

[annoyedkayah2395]

Ardian smirked: I mean I do like being in front of the camera with you

Rik looked: Yeah she do. Yall seen that blush on her face.

AJ: You good Lito?

Kai: And she was very comfortable sitting in her lap

[thatssonanii]

Haleigh smiled: Well when I come home we can do it again.

Malik: And Skye clearly like her too.

Aiden: She was in her lap like Lanii be in yours.

Carlito folded his arms for a second then nodded: Yeah, I'm good. I'm straight. Long as she happy.

[annoyedkayah2395]

Junie, Mir, and Harmony ran in the room: Daddy!

Ardian held his ear: Twin 1 and twin 2 and nugget im on the phone with your mommy

Kai watched Carlito: Let's just enjoy the party

Rik hit Carlito back: Yeah come on

AJ flinched: Rik you heavy handed

[thatssonanii]

Haleigh: Hey, babies. Hey gremlin. Everything okay?

Junie climbed in the bed and took the phone: Mommy! It's you!

Carlito hissed: Damn, Rik. Ima get something to drink.

Aiden laughed: You ain't going without us, you not getting away that easy, bruh.

[annoyedkayah2395]

Harmony snatched the phone: Hi mommy! Everything is okay! You okay?

Mir giggled jumping on Ardian: Hi mommy!

Ardian chuckled

The cousins got their drinks

AJ nudged Lito: Stop looking over there

[thatssonanii]

Junie frowned: Heeeeey! I was talking to mommy!

Haleigh laughed: Hey babies. Nugget, sit where they can see too. I miss yall.

Carlito frowned a little then cleared his throat: I was just making sure she was aight. We don't know that girl.

Aiden smirked: Riiiiight. That's why.

[annoyedkayah2395]

Harmony giggled setting the phone up: I was mommy. See Fuss Pot. We miss you too

Mir bit Ardian

Ardian hissed

AJ: Well Bree does and she likes her a lot.

Kai shook his head: Leave lito alone. Bree is good man. She good

[thatssonanii]

Junie giggled mischievously: Thank you, Chicken nugget. Mommy, I asked Daddy if ... if he miss you and he said no cause you steal his blanket.

Haleigh laughed: Thank you, gremlin. Get him, Mir. Your daddy said that? Ardian, you don't miss me?

Carlito: Aight, yall the ones keep asking me about it. I'm good too.

Malik snickered: Damn you bothered. You ain't choose her so Skye did.

[annoyedkayah2395]

Ardian got distracted then got super kicked by Mir: Damn it Mir.

Mir giggled

Harmony giggled: Daddy got super kicked!

Kai hit his brother: Leave him alone

Rik laughed

[thatssonanii]

Junie laughed: Good job, Mir Mir!

Haleigh laughed: That's what you get for saying you don't miss me.

Malik laughed: Did I lie though?

Carlito rolled his eyes: Yall irritating, yall know that?

Aiden grinned: Not as irritating as this situation is to you.

AJ: Payback for you getting us in trouble if you think about it

[annoyedkayah2395]

Mir giggled: Thank you. Hi mommy! What you doing? You need money? Daddy send mommy money? You eat?

Harmony laughed: Hows the cruise?

Ardian grumbled: I do miss my Pigtails

Kai laughed

Rik chuckled: You be cool Lito. You got us to lean on

Lil Nico: And having auntie fuss at us

[thatssonanii]

Junie: You been drinking water, mommy?

Haleigh laughed: So many questions. I'm just laying in my bed, Daddy sends me money twice a day, yes I ate and yes I drink water. It's fun, gremlin. Are you three being good?

Carlito stared at them and cracked a smile: Only fiend is, I'm actually funny and yall ain't

Malik shrugged playfully: We might not be but having your girl stole by light skin is.

Bree and Skye moved back to their seat.

Bree: I'm sorry, I didn't expect them to be here. I got you didn't feel awkward
