"Good morning mama's babies" I smiled as I walked in my three month old twin's room with their bottles of pumped breast milk.

I walked over to their cribs, seeing only one twin was awake. I sat the bottles down and began changing her pamper, already knowing it was full.
After I changed her diaper, I fed her while sitting in the rocking chair

"You hungry lil mama?" I stared down at my beautiful daughter, Kacey

The only response I got back of course were the sucks from the bottle. I watched her as she drank, looking at all her little features. Both of them are the perfect mixture of me and Mekai.

My phone rang and I answered it quickly, not wanting it to wake up Kason.

"Hello?"  I put the phone between my ear and my shoulder

"Where my grandbabies?"

"Good morning to you too mama" I chuckled

"Good morning. Where my grandbabies?"

"Kacey is finishing up her bottle, and Kason is sleep." I rocked in the chair slowly

"I miss them and I've only been gone a week." She came down here with Cam last week.

She's been coming one week out of the month since the twins were born, to help me since I'm a new mom and all.

"I'm sure they miss their grandma too." I smiled

"Los Angeles is so far." She sighed

Yes, I moved to Los Angeles, where my job is. The only people that know are my mom and Laura.

"I know, but it's better here." I shrugged "For me and the-" Kason cried out, cutting me off

"Aw, lil man waking up" she said as I put Kacey's empty bottle down

"Yeah, hold on." I sent her a FaceTime call, then walked over to the crib

I laid Kacey in her swing while I changed Kason. She started whining a little from hearing her brother cry.

I shushed them, moving as fast as I could without any problems.

"You're such a good mama." My mom smiled in the camera

"I guess you can say I learned from the best" I picked him up, rocking him in my arms as I fed him his breakfast

"Thanks sweetie. Have you told Mekai yet?"

"Ma" I sighed

She asks me the same question almost every time we talk.

"They're his kids too, Ky."

"I know that."

"So he has a right to know about them."

"I gotta go, somebody's at the door. Love you"

"Love you too." She said before hanging up

I turned on the baby monitor and laid Kason in his swing beside his sister. I made sure they both were secure, then headed downstairs to answer the door.

"Sorry I took so long." I said to Liyah, my assistant.

"It's fine. I got you breakfast since I knew you'd be too busy to make any." She sat the bags on the counter

"Thanks. Can you start on the paperwork? I have to get the twins ready, I'm going to check out some daycares today."

My maternity leave allowed me four months. I had the choice of working at home for those four months or not working at all until I got back. I chose to work from home so I won't have much to catch up on when I get back.

Unfortunately, those four months are up next week, so I have to find a daycare for now.

"No problem." She smiled, opening her computer

"Did you hear anything I said?" Bridgett asked

"Bridgett I heard you. Stop repeating yourself."

"I'm just making sure you-"

"You said make sure I got both containers of formula. I heard you, now shut the fuck up." I picked up my son, Eric, putting him in his carrier

"Don't talk to me like that."

"Look, you irritating the shit outta' me. The only reason I deal with you is because we got a kid together, I can make you disappear and still take care of my child." I made sure he was locked in his car seat just right

"Are you threatening me?" She gasped

"You know it's not a threat" I moved her out of my way as I closed the door

"Don't get mad with me all because your lil' stuck up girlfriend left."

"Might wanna' get in the house before you get ran over." I said before getting in the car and buckling up

She quickly moved out of the way, standing on her lawn as I pulled off.

Eric cooed in the back as I drove.

"What you back there talking 'bout?" I smiled

My phone rang and I automatically connected it to the car, not wanting to hold it and drive with him in the back seat.

"Yeah?"

"Hey honey. How you doing?" My mama asked

"You don't gotta act like you called to check on me." I chuckled "Yes I got Eric, yes he's buckled up, yes I checked his diaper bag before I left, and no I did not give into Bridgett's bull-foolishness this time." I answered all of her questions before she could ask

"Good to hear." She chuckled "Your father wants to talk to you."

"Put the old man on."

"Who the hell you calling old?" Clinton's voice came through

"You, grandpa."

"I ain't nobody's grandpa. I still don't believe that baby yours."

"Clinton shut up!" Joyce said in the background

"It's true. He might be yellow, but none of them features match yours."

"Pop, he in the back." I sighed

"Oh...my fault." He stayed quiet for a few seconds "Well how you been?"

"I been good"

"Taking ya' medicine?"

"Yeah. You?"

"Of course, ya' mama start holding out when I miss days on my meds." He chuckled

"Goodbye."

"Aw, don't be like that." He laughed harder

I shook my head "Love y'all" then hung up

These chapters about to be jaw dropping & pearl clutching. ☺️
