Chapter 10

"Why are we watching this?" Huey asked as himself, Riley and all three of the kids were on the couch.

"Come on get a touchdown…. YEAH THAT'S MY BOY!" Riley said as he jumped off the couch, cheering for his team. The kids look at him as if he was crazy as Jazmine and Cindy laughs in the kitchen.

"Man if I knew you were here sooner than I would have came sooner," Cindy said checking on what was going to be Riley's and Cindy's dinner.

"I'm surprise that you are not mad at me," Jazmine confessed stirring some stock in a pot.

"I was," she said, "but at the same time I knew something was wrong when your parents said you skip town."

"When did you see them?" she asked.

"After you split up with shithead," she said, "I found out what he did Jazzy and coming here and finding you had a baby? That was fucked up."

"He wanted me to abort along with my parents" Jazmine whispered, "and I wouldn't do it. I have her and I wanted her."

"Shit they didn't know you at all," Cindy said shocked.

"I'm sorry that I didn't call," Jazmine said sadly, "but I needed to leave."

"Hey you did the right thang," Cindy said, "and I don't blame ya. Now that I know everything."

"I'm sorry," Jazmine said.

"Hey," Cindy said hugging her, "I get it and you ain't doing too bad from what I see."

Jazmine smiled, she was glad that she had her friend back.

"By the way, I saw you coming out of Huey's room this morning," Cindy said teasing.

"Oh God!"

:::::

Early that Morning

Jazmine felt warm as she slowly woke up. It was the best night sleep Jazmine had in a long time. She didn't know if it was the bed or the warm comfortable body pillow that was curled up to her.

Wait warm body pillow? She didn't own a body pillow.

"Mama?"

She rolled over and saw Rosa's and Malcolm's eyes on her.

"What is it my babies?" Jazmine asked.

"Why are you in daddy's bed?" Malcolm asked with his little eyebrow raised.

Jazmine was more awake now that she heard that and sitting up straight. Seeing that she was indeed in Huey's bedroom, she wonder how she got from the couch to Huey's bed?

"Why are you in daddy's bed?" Malcolm demanded.

"Malcolm enough," Huey said getting up.

"Mama why you here?" Rosa asked as she held onto her stuff bunny.

"Ahhh…"

"It was a cold night Rosa," Huey said, "did you want your mom sick?"

"Mama you're sick?!" Rosa said panicked.

Malcolm crawled into the bed and touched Jazmine's forehead.

"What are you doing Malcolm?" Jazmine asked as Rosa crawled into bed as well.

"You sick?" he asked.

"You're daddy made sure that it didn't happen," Jazmine said kissing his forehead.

"And it's only for a few nights," Huey said, "so we all stay warm."

"Huey," Rosa asked, "are you gonna marry mommy?"

Huey raised an eyebrow at Rosa wondering where she got an idea like that.

"I'll tell you what," Jazmine said backtracking that question, "we'll decorate the tree today after breakfast what do you say?"

"Yeah!"

"Yeah."

"Alright go get dress and will have breakfast," Jazmine said.

The kids ran out of the room to get themselves ready for the day, as Jazmine stared at Huey.

"For a few days?" Jazmine asked as her eyebrow was raised at him.

"It still going to be cold for the next few nights," he said getting up and out.

Jazmine couldn't believe that he slept in his boxer. Why did he have to look so good?

:::

"Please let's not talk about that," Jazmine said getting the plates served up.

"Why because your embarrassed or because you actually like waking up next to Huey," Cindy teased.

"It's.. It's…"

"Alright alright alright let's eat!" Riley said coming into the kitchen with Jordan in his arms. Huey, Malcolm and Rosa all coming in from behind.

Jazmine wasn't more thankful than Riley's big appetite at that moment as she watched everyone sit down at the table. The only spot left was beside Huey, which Jazmine thinks Cindy did that on purpose.

"It looks good," Huey said as he started to serve himself and the kids.

"Yeah yeah," Riley said with his mouth full.

"Riley that disgusting!" Huey said, "eat with your mouth close!"

"Don't tell me what to do," he said eyeing his brother.

"Anyways, are we going Black Friday shopping tomorrow?" Cindy asked, "because I wanna hit up them deals."

"Yeah that would be great," Jazmine said, "we can make it a girl's day."

"Awesome," she said, "and will take Rosie with us."

"Can I mama can I?" Rosa begged her mother.

"I don't see why not?" Jazmine said smiling.

"YAY!" Rosa said throwing her hands in the air.

"Rosa finish your dinner," Huey said, pointing at her plate, "than you need to get to bed early if you want to go with your mom tomorrow."

Rosa started eating again but still had her smile was still on her face. Jazmine shook her head but smile. Only Huey knew how to calm down her excited daughter.

:::

"Huey stop that," Jazmine said as she finish loading the dishes into the dishwasher as Huey was rearranging the decorations on the tree. Cindy, Riley and Jordan were already in bed because Cindy wanted to get up in the morning and Riley was in a food induce coma.

"It's uneven," Huey said.

"And you said that you didn't like Christmas if you care how the tree looks," Jazmine teased. That stop Huey from his rearranging.

"Did you give the kids a bath?" Jazmine asked.

"Yeah, Rosa wanted to go first because she wanted to go to bed," Huey said, "there was no fuss when I put on her pjs and she was already in bed by the time I got Malcolm finished."

Jazmine laughs at this and for some reason Huey's heart sore.

"Anyways I am heading to bed," Jazmine said, "are you sure it's alright for me to-"

"Jazmine," he said, "it's fine and as I said, it's only for a few nights."

"Alright. Just making sure," she said as Malcolm tugged on her shirt.

"Jazz?" Malcolm said, "do I have to go to bed?"

"Are you coming with us tomorrow?" she asked.

"No I wanna stay," he said.

"I don't see the problem if your dad say it's okay," Jazmine said looking over at Huey.

"I don't see the issue," he said.

"Okay go into the bedroom so I can read you and Rosa a bedtime story."

Malcolm walked into Huey's bedroom as Jazmine sighs. "I should get to bed as well, good night Huey."

"Good night Jazmine," he said as he watched her go into his bedroom.

After awhile, Malcolm came back out and sat beside him as they watch some TV.

"So what are we going to do tomorrow?" Huey asked Malcolm.

Malcolm just shrugged his shoulders as they continue to watch the movie. Huey was starting not to mind some of the kids movies out there. As long as they were educational and had the right facts. But Huey notice that Malcolm was starting to fall asleep.

"C'mon buddy," Huey said picking him up. Turning off all of the lights and the TV, Huey went into the bedroom. Huey kissed his forehead before putting him to bed. Like Jazmine told him about Rosa being the best thing that has ever happened to her, Malcolm was the best thing that has ever happen to him.

Speaking of Rosa, he checked on her before heading to bed himself. Giving her a kiss on the forehead, he got himself ready for bed. Huey did wonder if he made the right decision about not allowing Malcolm to call Jazmine mom. Because he did wonder what would it be like if Rosa called her dad? He turned towards both of the kids as they slept. They were great kids and he couldn't have anyone better. But the object of his distress was sleeping away in his bed. Soft snores and a peaceful look on her face made her beautiful.

Huey crawled into bed beside her and laid down. Huey fell asleep but his body moved towards hers and curled up against her as they slept soundly.

:::

"Oh these baby tims are so cute!" Cindy said grabbing a pair that was on sale. Jazmine was having a lot of fun and Rosa seemed to enjoy herself. It helped get her mind off of Huey, who was curled up against her. It did make her feel… desirable.

But she and her girls had some serious shopping to do. It reminded her of old times when herself and Cindy went Black Friday shopping when they were younger. If someone was trying to get an item either of them wanted, Cindy would pick a fight and Jazmine would snatch it away. And this time, they had an extra weapon because Rosa was so cute, no one could really say no to her and she manage to get the jacket Malcolm wanted with those big violet eyes she had. It defiantly came in handy when they were at the toy store.

"Oh are you going to get them?" Jazmine asked as she was eyeing a shirt she was interested in.

"Oh yeah I getting them," she said as she place her own, Riley's and now Jordan's into her bag, "I gotta make sure my baby boy looks fresh."

Jazmine laughs as she picks up a pair of shoes she needs.

"Mama I'm hungry," Rosa said.

"Yeah baby girl I'm hungry too," Cindy said picking her up and walking over to the register.

"So are we all finish?" Jazmine said.

"I got what I need," she said, "what about you?"

"I have to pick up something before we leave but yeah I'm finished."

"Good because I gotta eat," Cindy said.

Rosa was laughing at the funny voices Cindy was making as they waited in line. Jazmine was happy that her best friend was back in her life and her baby girl got along with her so well. If only….

"Oi Jazzy stop that," Cindy said, "none of that."

"I was just thinking you are so good with her," Jazmine said.

"Ahh she easy," Cindy said, "but you mind wandered so stop it."

Jazmine giggles as they paid for their purchases and left the store.

"So what's this thang you have to get?" Cindy said as they were walking around the mall.

"I couldn't find a Christmas present for Huey but when the kids asked me about Santa awhile back, it gave me a good idea," she said, "they ended up sending me to a studio who did great pictures. She will be in the mall this weekend."

"What are you talking about?" Cindy said as they haul their purchases and a very tired Rosa.

"You will see," she said as they walked into a photography studio, "Hi Ming!"

A lady who look really busy shooting photos turned towards the girls. She was a Chinese woman with really long black hair and big brown eyes.

"Oh hello Jazmine," she said getting a couple more shots of the family, "I'll be with you in a minute."

"Take your time," she said, "I figured you would be busy."

After some time, Ming finished up with the family and gave them their information on the shots they have chosen to pick up.

"Sorry about that," she said, "I didn't think I would be this busy during Black Friday."

"Did you at least get some shopping done?" Jazmine asked.

"Of course," Ming said, "I came in early to get what I need."

"That's good," Jazmine said, "Oh! I'm sorry, this is Cindy. She my friend visiting from Maryland."

"Hi nice to meet you," Ming said holding out her hand.

"Likewise," Cindy said returning her handshake. "So what is it that you do?"

"Well I was an athletic at one point in time but I tore my ACL," Ming told her.

"OUCH! That's bad and I use to play basketball," Cindy said.

"I was in Chinese kickball," she said, "but I found my way through photography and I haven't looked back. Hi Rosa."

"Hi," Rosa said sleepy. They could tell she was getting hungry and needed to go down for a nap soon.

"That's awesome but why are we here Jazmine?" Cindy asked as Ming went to the back of her store.

"We didn't have any pictures of the kids so I got some for the house and wallet sizes for Huey," Jazmine explained, "it was a good option for someone who hates Christmas."

"Alright, check them out," Ming said giving her her photos.

"Oh wow," Jazmine said looking at the photos of the kids. They were amazing.

"Wow you do some good work," Cindy said as she eyed them.

"Thank you and they were a joy compare to some other kids," Ming said laughing, "that one reminds me of Huey Freeman."

Jazmine froze. She knew Huey?

But Cindy starts laughing, "That is Huey Freeman's son."

"Oh wow, he looks just like him," Ming said in aww.

"How do you know him?" Jazmine asked.

"Oh he is good friends with my husband," Ming said, "him, Caesar and Huey always seems to cause some kind of trouble in Brooklyn."

"Oh," Jazmine said relief. She didn't want to be dealing with some kind of ex.

"We grew up with him," Cindy said.

Ming turned and looked at Jazmine, "Oh! your that Jazmine?"

"I have no idea what you are talking about," Jazmine said confused.

"Huey kept talking about a girl he grew up with. Said her name was Jazmine. Blond hair, big eyes and had a huge animal rights thing going on," Ming said.

"Yup that sounds like Jazzy here," Cindy said.

"Wait? Huey talked about me?" Jazmine asked wondering why.

"Yeah he did a lot," Ming said wrapping up her photos, "I wish I could talk longer but I have another family shoot to do in about five minutes."

"Oh than we won't take up more of your time," Jazmine said, kinda wanting to get out of there.

"Here and I am going to give you a 15% discount."

"Oh I can't take that," Jazmine protest.

"No I insists. Huey did a lot for us back in the day and I know that Hiro will want to get back in contact with him," she said handing her a card, "both of our numbers are on the back. Give us a call. And I want to get to know Huey's girlfriend."

"I am not his girlfriend, just his roommate," Jazmine stated.

"For now," Ming winked, "trust me and please call. I got a little girl about Rosa's age, we can meet at the park or something."

"I will," Jazmine said paying for her purchases, "thank you for the discount."

"No problem, see you soon," Ming said going to the back of the store.

"What was that all about?" Cindy asked.

"I have no idea," Jazmine said as they turned to leave.

"Mama," Rosa said, "I want food."

Cindy laughs, "Well we better get this little one fed."

::::

"Huey were home!" Jazmine said bringing in her purchases with Rosa in her arms.

"Whatcha do? Buy out the mall?" Riley said eyeing some of the bags.

"Yeah and half the people in Chicago," Cindy replied.

"That kid looks like she is going to pass out," Riley said.

"I am going to put her down for a nap," Jazmine said, "than I am going to take one. Where's Huey?"

"Right here," Huey said coming up from the basement with Malcolm behind him.

"What did you all do?" Jazmine said as she put down a sleepy Rosa as she got both of their outer wear off.

"We trained for a bit than went out for breakfast," Huey said, hanging up all of their stuff.

"Oh did you have fun Malcolm?"

"Yes," Malcolm said looking like he was about to fall asleep himself.

"I'm going to put this in your another bedroom until after dinner," Jazmine said, "if that is alright with you?"

"Only until after dinner," Huey said, "and be careful, we painted the walls."

"Sure," she said going into Huey's new bedroom. She was surprise of the colour he picked out. She knew that he was going to pick grey but there was an accent wall of the colour blue on the back wall. The colour she thought would be nice for the room. Deciding she would ask Huey about it, she quickly put things away in the closet and headed back to the living room, where the kids were no longer on the couch.

"Huey where are the kids?" she asked.

"I put them down for a nap," he said, "and you should get one in too."

"No no I'll be fine," Jazmine said sleepy, "I still have to make dinner and-"

"We'll order out," he said, "get some rest."

Jazmine smiles, "Thank you Huey."

She turned before she even saw the smallest smile on Huey's face.

"Oh before I forget," Jazmine said taking out the card from her pocket, "I was talking to a woman who was helping me with something. She said she knows you."

"Who?" Huey said eyeing her.

"Her name is Ming Otomo. She said you were good friends with her husband," Jazmine said, giving her the card, "she was hoping that you would get back into contact with them."

"What are they doing in Chicago?" Huey wondered as he took the card.

"So you know them?" Jazmine asked.

"Yeah I went to college for the summer there," he said, "around the time I met Adrianne."

"Adrianne?"

"Yeah that was Malcolm's mother," Huey confessed, "we all used to hang out."

"Oh," Jazmine said, wondering what else had happened.

"Thanks for this, I will give them a call later," he said, "go get some sleep."

"Alright thank you," Jazmine said walking into the bedroom. She wasn't going to bother getting out of her clothes because that's how tired she was. She looked on her sleeping babies and smile. They always looked so peaceful like little angels. Kissing both of their foreheads before laying down for her own nap, she couldn't sleep.

Who was this Adrianne and why would she leave a beautiful little boy like Malcolm?

But sadly those thoughts were out by the time sleep finally took her.

::::

"Oh I hate that you have to go," Jazmine said giving Cindy a hug, "I only got you back."

It had been a great weekend for them, catching up with each other and getting to know their new additions. It was like the last four years never happened. Malcolm had warmed up to Cindy while Rosa just loves her. Both were even calling her Auntie Cindy and Unca Riley. And Huey's new bedroom was ready. They agree for the kids to crash together until they figure out what to do in Huey's old bedroom. The house was coming along nicely thanks to Riley and Cindy who was more than willing to help out. Well Cindy mostly.

Cindy laughs, "Girl we'll visit and you can visit us when you and McHater get the chance."

"I heard that," Huey said.

"You were suppose to," Cindy said teasing, "hey Rosie I got something for ya."

Rosa went running up to Cindy and giving her a big hug, "Here ya go baby girl."

It was a stuff pink elephant to which Rosa's eyes lit up, "TANK YOU!"

"You're welcome," Cindy said turning to Jazmine, "I got her and Malcolm something for Christmas as well. It is with your wrapped presents."

"Oh Cindy you didn't have to," Jazmine said.

"Girl I gotta lots of time to make up for," she said, "she's my niece and I love her ta death!"

"I got something for you, Riley and Jordan in that bag," Jazmine said pointing to one of her luggage.

"Thought so," she said teasing.

"Enough with that emotional shi… stuff," Riley said with Jordan in his carrier sleeping away.

"Yeah we gotta bounce before that plane leaves without us," she said taking the carrier.

"Call me when you get back to Baltimore," Jazmine said giving her another hug.

"I will," she said, "bye guys!"

"BYE!" Both Malcolm and Rosa said.

Jazmine watched the taxi take her best friend away. She couldn't help but feel sad by it.

"Have they left?" Huey asked.

"Yeah they're gone," Jazmine said wiping the stray tear away from her eye.

"You alright?" Huey said looking at her.

"Yeah, it's hard though," she said, "because I really missed out on a lot."

"What do you mean?"

"Because my ex didn't like a lot of my friends when we were going out. I didn't realize that I drifted away from them until it was too late," she said, "that was my regret because now I know I should have never listened to him."

"Jazmine when you are ready to talk-"

"I know Huey," she said smiling, "and I know you won't judge me but it hurts bad because he ripped a lot of things away from Rosa and me."

"What do you mean?" Huey said eyeing her.

"A chance for Rosa to have a father for one and a chance for me to have a loving husband because of the shit he pulled," she said bitterly, "I haven't gotten over it just yet."

Huey didn't say anything. He wanted to know more.

"Anyways I'm going to get dinner started. Do you want anything special?" Jazmine asked.

"No anything is fine," he said.

"Okay it should be ready in an hour."

Huey watched her walk away. But he stood there wondering what hell did that asshole do to her?
