me.
“Mama, play,” he reached for me to pick him up.
“Mama will play with her baby in a minute; I want you to meet your uncles.”
“Uncle?”
“Yes.”
He looked at the four men standing in front of us. “Hi,” he said shyly.
“Wassup lil man,” Jason spoke. “I’m Uncle Jay, that’s Howie, Corey, and Lakey.”
Romell just smiled. “Play?” he asked Jason.
“Sure lil man, let’s play.”
I watched as Jason played with Romell and MJ. They were playing football. I felt so blessed to have those people in my life.
“Okay everybody, let’s eat,” Pop-Pop announced.
We sat at the big table that Pop-Pop had on his patio. “Uhh, I just know y’all about to go wash y’all hands?” Lani said with her hands on her hips.
“Well, excuse us,” Ramone laughed.
I grabbed my Fat Man and put him on my lap. I loved my son more than anything in the world. I never thought I could love someone so much. I could say Mykell had given me the best thing in the world. Everyone came back from washing their hands so we blessed the food and dug right on in. I started to feed Romell but he shook his head. “I want Daddy,” he said.
“You turning on me Fat Fat?” I asked faking hurt.
He kissed me on the lips and smiled with his two bottom teeth showing. I just laughed and took him over to Mykell. I gave him Fat Fat’s plate. He tried to make eye contact with me but I kept ignoring him.
“So bighead, how do you like motherhood?” Corey asked.
“I love it! Fat Fat is my world.” I smiled at my son.
“I remember when you were that little, we would all be chilling in Mone’s room and you would just walk in there like you owned the room,” he laughed.
“Yeah that’s when we liked you,” Howie joked
I rolled my eyes, “Whatever.”
“He make you want some more?”
Before I even could speak, Kamil jumped in. “We’re working on it.”
I looked at Lani then Ramone. “Uhh, naw I don’t want any more for a couple of years. Fat and MJ are enough for me right now,” I spoke up
He looked at me crazy. “So what you saying?”
“I think I made it plain and clear what I was saying. I don’t want any more kids for a few years.”
He chuckled. “That’s some bullshit.”
“How you figure?”
“Because yo ass was quick to get pregnant by that nigga. Not once but twice. When I try to get you pregnant, yo ass is quick to get on birth control.”
“Man,” Ramone started to say, but I cut him off, “Naw Mone, I got this.”
“Excuse you, but I went on birth control after I had Romell because what the fuck I look like being only 21 years old popping out babies back to back with no job because yo ass don’t want me working? Make it make sense Kamil.” I rolled my neck clearly getting pissed off.
“If that was the case, you would’ve got on birth control after you lost the first baby, but naw you laid on yo back and got knocked up again. I’m starting to think you just don’t want to have my baby because I ain’t that nigga!”
“Fuck you and this bullshit!” I was so mad I wanted to punch that nigga in his jaw for saying some shit like
