In Spite of the Bosset Life(7)

I asked Momma Dukes where the twins were and she said at Sya’s. I felt now Ace‘s little sisters and cousins were really on some bullshit about that money. Sya usually calls and the girls always come over. I had to just suck it up and keep going on. No matter how bogus they treat me, that wasn’t gon make me cash out money to them.

Today was the kids’ prom. I had spent a couple of thousands on each of them. It was they last year and I wanted them to enjoy it. Kori’s dress alone was twelve hundred dollars. She looked so cute in her cherry red dress. I allowed her and her prom date to take my Lambo. I never drove the damn car. I was pregnant anyway.

Kash looked so cute in his all white and almost made me cry. He looked just like his handsome father. ChaCha, of course, was his date and their color was pink. I also let Kash take the Ferrari. I was gone have the pink rims removed but he protested and said it matched their outfit. Which it did perfectly. I made sure they rocked Louboutins and was iced out. Ace would’ve wanted them to look fly, so I made sure of it. I had them do photo shoots and Akamai recorded the whole day from sun up to sun down. The kids weren’t camera shy at all.

“I want these cars parked by 8a.m. without a scratch, dent, or even a smudge! I’m not playin’ with y’all. I mean it! If I have to call y’all, it’s gon’ be on. Now, take this and have fun. I love you guys and please be safe,” I said, scolding the hell out my kids. I was pregnant as hell and they were not trying to upset me. They all agreed and thanked me for no damn reason. Kori kissed us all goodbye and left.

“Bye everybody! Love y’all,” said Kash, jumping in the Ferrari overly excited. I waved and Momma Dukes wheeled Big Momma back inside. Chanel and RaShad had already saw them at the photo shoot and was sending her little sister LaLa off to prom. Momma Dukes asked could the twins join in on the photo shoot earlier, and I went ahead and said yes. Since it was everybody’s prom day, I let them have their day. I wasn’t about to be petty on prom.

I had Kash call his mother, just to invite her to see his big moment, but of course, she said she couldn’t make it. I was actually inviting the bitch over but she still declined. Maya was trifling as hell because she knew all what had been going on. Kash was used to it though. He told me he wasn’t inviting her to his graduation and I couldn’t blame him. My son’s feelings were hurt. Ace was gone and I knew he was hurt about that too because we all was hurting. All I could do was let him know I was here for him and give him that love Maya never gave. Since those checks stopped, Maya hadn’t saw Kash once. Ace was right. Maya was just a user. She never had good intentions when it came to Kash. I just hoped she wouldn’t try no silly shit since Ace was gone. I had guardianship over Kash since me and Ace were legally married. I be damn if she started trying to ease herself this way just to get some money.

Nola was looking through the many photos she had taken. She had come to do Kori’s makeup and hair. I had been so tired lately, I couldn’t do much of nothing. Nola was a big help and assisted me with getting my darling dressed and ready for her prom.

“Koì, look at this one here,” said Nola cheesing. “I caught Kash feeling on ChaCha’s ass. Dis too funny! I’m posting this one,” said Nola, cracking up. I looked at the picture and had to just shake my head.

“He act like his daddy girl, I’m telling you,” I said, getting some water before sitting in the living room with my mother-in -laws. Big Momma kept looking at my belly. I gave her a kiss on the cheek and she mumbled something I couldn’t understand.

“I love you too,” I said, rubbing her frail hands.

“I got this movie from that man that be outside Lisa’s selling movies,” said Momma Dukes, kicking back.

“What is it?” I asked, sitting next to Nola. Nola was all in her phone, not paying attention to the DVD Momma Dukes had just put in.

“It’s supposed to be funny. Kevin Hart in it too.”

“I’ll watch it with y’all. But after, I’m going to bed. Them kids wore me out today,” I said sitting back. I was so damn big and felt like a whale. We were all cracking up at Kevin Hart’s crazy ass. Nola had tears coming down her face because she was laughing so hard.

“Omg, Nola, help me up. I think I just peed on myself,” I said laughing but trying to be serious. Nola started laughing because this wasn’t my first time peeing on myself while I was pregnant.

“You always pissing. Ohhh, I’m sorry, Momma. Excuse my language,” said Nola, covering her mouth. Big Momma just raised her hands. Momma Dukes just came to help me up because Nola was still laughing at me. I, too, was laughing. I was grown as f*ck and peeing on myself.

“Baby, I don’t think you peed. I think your water just broke, baby girl.” Everybody got quiet and Big Momma just smiled. She knew I was going into labor tonight. Once Ace left, her health declined and she didn’t talk or do much of nothing.

“My wahrter. Oh no, no,” I said freaking out.

“Calm down child. I’ll call Dr. Edmonds right now,” said Momma Dukes, pulling out her phone. She had her on speed dial. Nola stood me up and even more fluids came down my leg. I felt so disgusted. I knew my water broke and that this wasn’t no damn pee now. It was just too much.

“Go get the bags. They at the bottom of the steps already. Oh lawd,” said Momma Dukes, trying to stay calm. Unni didn’t help. She came out her room freaking out. She pissed Momma Dukes off because she wasn’t speaking English.
