Chapter 9

"Mommy what are you doing?" Rosa asked as they shopped around the mall. Jazmine was mapping out all of the places she wanted to shop for Black Friday. And it didn't help that she only had a limited budget but she was going to make it work. And finding a present for Huey was always hard because we all know how much he hated Christmas as much as Thanksgiving.

But she was able to get a tree and some decorations for a good deal so that was a good start. And the tree was small so Huey couldn't complain too hard on that one. And the kids were having fun on top of it too. Well it gave Huey a break while he was working on the third bedroom. And since Huey paid most of the bills and worked on the house, they decided that Huey should have the bedroom for himself and maybe putting the kids together until they can figure out what to do when they got older.

"I'm seeing what we can get for Christmas!" Jazmine said excited as she held both of the kids hands.

"What's that?" Malcolm asked as he look at her. Jazmine was trying to respect Huey wishes when it came to the holidays. But how do you tell that to a two year old who technically isn't your kid? But Jazmine did agree that she was going to be Malcolm's mother no matter what so she decided to play it safe.

"Well, it's a time where families get together and celebrate the year we had," Jazmine said smiling at herself. Let's see Huey complain about that.

"So why is everything so pretty?" Rosa asked as she had to look at every decoration that was put up.

"Because isn't it nice to have something pretty?" Jazmine said as the kids laugh with her.

She had ideas what to get for the kids after having fun at the toy store and what kind of clothing they would be needing. Malcolm saw an army jacket that he really wanted. It broke her heart that she had to say no but she was hoping that she will be able to get it on Black Friday.

"Alright I think we are almost done with everything," she said to the kids as they were walking towards the exit when the kids stopped her in her track.

"Jazz what's that?" Malcolm said pointing at the Santa Claus greeting place. He was greeting all of the kids who wanted to tell Santa what they wanted for Christmas.

Jazmine was filled with the memories of her childhood when Santa was one of the most important people in her life. Than the not so good memories when she found out that Santa wasn't real. Did she really want to put the kids through that?

"It's nothing really sweetie," Jazmine decided, "it's just a man in a silly suit."

"Oh," the kids said as they looked on. Than Jazmine saw the photographer taking pictures of the kids. She got an idea.

"Come on babies," Jazmine said pulling them towards Santa, "there is something we need to do."

::::

"Huey were back!" Jazmine shouted as they shuffled into the house. It was starting to get cold and things weren't going to get any warmer.

"In here," she heard Huey said coming from the living room. After getting the coats off the kids, they ran into the living room but Jazmine just chuckles and removes her own coat than follows.

"Hey did you get the bedroom finished?" Jazmine asked as she brought in her Christmas decorations.

"Yeah it needs a coat of paint but it's pretty much ready," Huey said playing a game on the TV. Riley for some reason brought it with him.

"Damn nigga you cheating!" Riley yelled out.

"What your mouth Riley," Huey and Jazmine said at the same time.

"Chill damn," he said losing the game.

"Did you find the leak in the ceiling?" she asked as she help the kids get undress from their outer clothing.

"There wasn't one," Huey said eyeing the bags she has, "and you know how I feel about Christmas Jazmine,"

"Oh stop it's not all for Christmas," Jazmine said, "knowing Riley he is going to want turkey for Thanksgiving."

"Ya ya you da bomb Jazzy," Riley said.

"And it's a small tree Huey," Jazmine said, "and it's for the kids. Be thankful that I didn't mention Santa."

"Oh great," he said, "what did you say?"

"It's just a man in a silly suit."

Riley starts laughing, "Man I remember you thought Santa was Jesus."

"Well I remember that you had a beef about some missing rims," Jazmine retorts.

"Jazmine you gave a vague describing on Santa Clause?" Huey asked.

They started arguing about Santa Clause until….

KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK

"Who could that be?" Jazmine asked, "where you expecting anyone Huey?"

"No."

KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK

Jazmine hurried down the hallway as the door kept knocking.

"Alright alright," Jazmine called out and opened the door. She wasn't expecting….

"Oh Jazzy!"

"Cindy?"

Cindy gave her friend a hug as Jazmine stood there in shock.

"What are you doing here?" Jazmine asked as she stood there.

"Getting out of Maryland and are you gonna let a girl freeze her ass off here with a baby?" Cindy said pointing to the baby carrier by her feet.

Jazmine quickly moved out of the way to make room for Cindy and her baby to come in with all of their stuff.

"Damn girl it's been too long!" Cindy said giving Jazmine another hug after setting down the baby carrier.

"I thought you were mad at me?" Jazmine whispered into her shoulder.

"Naw girl that man had you trippin' but your here and looking good!" Cindy said smiling.

"Hold up," they heard from the living room, "why does that sound like my wifey?"

"Because it is!" Cindy shouted as Jazmine took her jacket and led them into the living room as The Freeman' men never looked so shock from where they sat.

"What the fu- Why are you here?" Riley asked, checking himself with the kids also in the living room.

"My fam is messed up that's what," Cindy said, "so I came here to catch up with Jazzy."

"You wanted them there," Riley said standing up. Jazmine sat down beside Huey, knowing that this may take awhile. Huey just seemed pissed.

"I did until they started talking shit," Cindy said.

"Jazz she said a bad word," Malcolm said. Everyone had forgotten that the kids were on the floor playing as Rosa looked up at Cindy with curious eyes.

"We'll all talk about it later," Huey said.

But Cindy was staring right at Rosa.

"Aw man Jazzy she looks just like ya," she said in aww.

"Rosa come here I want you to meet her," Jazmine said as Rosa went to her mother. "Remember Riley telling you that I had a best friend?"

When Rosa nods Jazmine continued, "This is my best friend Cindy. Can you say hello?"

"Hi," she said putting her head into Jazmine's shoulder.

"Aww you are just like your mama," Cindy said.

"Rweelly?" Rosa asked.

"Really," Cindy said smiling, "and you! You are all grown up!"

Malcolm looked at her with a questionable face.

"Who are you?" he asked.

"I'm your aunt Cindy," she said, "and I haven't seen you since you were a baby."

"Okay…" he said still having a questionable look on his face.

"Are you gonna answer me or what?" Riley demanded.

"She will," Jazmine said, "but not when the kids are around."

Cindy nods as the baby cries from his carrier.

"Oh Jordan!" Cindy said taking him out of his carrier, "I'm sorry I forgot you were hungry."

Jordan was defiantly Cindy's and Riley's kid. You could tell that he was mixed between his parents. His little blond afro was short to his head and his blue eyes were defiantly from his mother. But other than that, he looked just like Huey, Riley and Malcolm. He had gotten the full Freeman's genes.

"Jazzy, is there anywhere I can heat up a bottle?" Cindy asked as she tried to comfort her son and took a bottle out of her diaper bag.

"Yeah, we'll just boil some water," Jazmine said letting her know to follow her into the kitchen.

The guys watched them go in as the crying Jordan was in Cindy's arms.

"Well, I guess were ordering in pizza," Huey said knowing that Jazmine will most likely be distracted.

"Pizza?" Rosa and Malcolm said as their eyes widen.

:::::

"Oh my god he is so cute!" Jazmine said holding Jordan. Riley was surprise that Jazmine was able to pick him up, even stating that his son already knowing who are hoes. Than earning a slap from Cindy and Huey.

"Yeah mama," Rosa said agreeing. Malcolm was looking at Jordan with curious eyes. After Huey told him that this was his cousin, they were sure Malcolm didn't know what to think.

"Are you sure it's alright for us to take your bedroom," Cindy said as they watch the guys take Rosa's bed into Huey's room.

"I'm sure and you both can't sleep on the couch," Jazmine said as Jordan slept on her shoulder, "and besides you are our guests."

"Guests that we didn't invite," Huey said coming into the living room with Riley right behind them.

"Behave Huey," Jazmine said giving him a warning.

Huey hated the fact that Jazmine had to give up her room. It was going to be a cold night and Huey didn't want her to get sick. But she convinced him and he didn't like it. But Cindy notice the look Huey was giving Jazmine. Well Jazmine really did look good with a baby in her arms. Huey wonder what she looked like pregnant with Rosa. What was she like when Rosa was a baby. Why were those thoughts suddenly entering his mind?

Cindy had to chuckle. Despites what Huey was trying to show himself as, she knew that he always had the thing for Jazmine. They were different but at the same time, they worked. But Huey was staring at Jazmine.

The looks was as if he was… longing?

Well that nigga better hurry the fuck up, Cindy thought to herself.

"Anyways, Rosa! Malcolm! Time for bed!" Jazmine called out as she handed Jordan back to Cindy.

The kids were protesting as Jazmine grab both of them to put them to bed in Huey's room. She was telling them to behave or they wouldn't be getting a story.

"I better get this one to bed too," Cindy said, getting up and headed towards Jazmine's bedroom.

"Yo what the fuck?" Riley said, "why the fuck are you pissed?"

"Because I didn't expect people to come to my house like it was a crash pad," Huey said sitting down on the couch.

"So what? We fam aren't we?" Riley said pissed off.

"You both came here unannounced," Huey said, "Jazmine shouldn't have to give up her room because of this."

"I offered," Jazmine said coming back after some time, "and I'll be fine on the couch."

"It's going to get cold Jazmine," Huey said.

"Than I will have to get a few more blankets," Jazmine replied.

"Or she could hook up with you in your bed," Cindy said walking back in and sat down beside Riley.

Riley starts laughing as Huey and Jazmine's eyes widen.

"Anyways Cindy," Jazmine said coming out of it, "why are you in Chicago?"

"What I can't visit my best friend?" Cindy said looking not to happy.

"Yeah Cindy," Riley said, "why ya here?"

"Look I came when they got on my case," Cindy said, "they wanted me to leave Riley and I ain't doing that shit. So they told my ass if it going to be you or them."

"What?!" Riley said, "ya fam is fucked!"

"That is pretty fucked up," Huey admitted.

"So when I told them that I wasn't gonna leave Riley they got on my case about Jordan needing a father," Cindy said pissed off, "and that when I told them to leave and never come back because Riley is a good daddy to my baby."

"Shit Cindy I knew this would happen!" Riley said, "I told you that I don't like your fam because we were going to do shit our way."

"Yeah and when you told me Jazzy was here I couldn't resist. After the last time-"

"Cindy!" Jazmine said, "please."

Cindy eyed her, "He did a number on you didn't he?"

"What?" Huey said, "did…whoever hurt you?"

"Not physically but emotionally he did do a number on me," Jazmine confess, "I don't want to talk about it anymore."

"What he doesn't know?" Cindy said in shock.

"And I don't know anything about Malcolm's mother," Jazmine stated, "I can't talk about it just yet because I have Rosa to think about. I don't want her thinking she was unwanted because I wanted her. I want a clear mind when I do talk about… him."

Huey eyed Jazmine. As much as he wanted to know she did make a good point. Jazmine didn't know anything about Malcolm's mother. After his trip to New York and learning about her, he wasn't sure what to think either.

"Alright Jazzy," Cindy said, "but I do want to know about it."

"You will, when I'm ready," Jazmine promised.

Huey was curious to what happen to Jazmine because every time anyone brings up Rosa's real father, she shuts down. Whoever this man was, Huey already wants to kill him.

"Anyways are you planning on going Black Friday shopping?" Cindy asked.

"Oh yeah," Jazmine said, "I already got plans to know which store to hit for the Christmas presents for the kids."

"And on that note," Huey interrupted, "you know how much I dislike Christmas."

"Oh give it a rest," Jazmine said, "I know you hate Christmas but you are not going to spoil it for the kids."

"Even if they believe in Santa Clause?" Huey asked.

"I just said it was a man in a silly suit!" Jazmine said heated.

Cindy and Riley starts laughing.

"Oh man I remember that," Riley said.

#FFB#

"Welcome to the Woodcrest Mall, it's Santa Clause!"

Eleven year old Jazmine screamed out loud as Huey and Riley looked on with disgust for completely different reasons.

"OH I can't believe he is here!" Jazmine said, "there are so many things I want to tell him!"

"Oh this is going to be the year Huey," nine year old Riley said, "I am going to make the punk ass bitch pay!"

"Don't do anything stupid," Huey whispered, "I need to know if he is part of the Illuminati."

"Fuck that shit I want my rims!"

"Alright little girl," the elf said, "go on up!"

Jazmine skipped Santa and sat in his lap.

"Oh aren't you a pretty girl what's your name?" Santa said.

"My name is Jazmine and I think you are the greatest!" Jazmine replied.

"Oh Thank you! Now what would you like for Christmas?"

"I want-"

"Excuse me," Huey said walking up to the platform, "I have a few questions to ask."

"Huey what are you doing?!" Jazmine said embarrassed.

"Excuse me young man," Santa said, "I will be with you in a minute."

"No no. I want to know if you are working with the Illuminati? Because do you know that Santa is just another word for Satan?" Huey said.

The look of shock were on both Santa and Jazmine's faces.

"Huey stop it!" Jazmine demanded.

"And what kind of man sneaks into people's houses in the middle of the night? To leave gifts? Are you sure that you are not taking anything away?" Huey demand.

"Now young man that is enough!" Santa said throwing Jazmine off of his lap and standing up.

"You promise kids presents so they let you into their houses and-"

"Santa don't let this little nigga bother you," Uncle Ruckus said, "they are a breed that-"

POP POP POP

"It's the Santa Stalker!" someone screamed as the mall went into chaos.

"Santa! I told you I was coming for your ass!" Riley/ Santa Stalker said popping off rounds of the BB guns. Uncle Ruckus and Santa ran off as Riley followed them.

"RILEY!" Huey shouted going after them with Jazmine running behind.

"DON'T HURT SANTA!"

"I'm coming for your ass Santa until you pay what you owe!" Riley said as the Santa ran to the exit of the mall. But he didn't expect…

"POLICE!"

The police officers obtain Riley, Huey and Jazmine as Santa got away.

::::

The three kids were held up in a interrogation room as Riley was pissed, Jazmine was crying and Huey sat there wondering if they will be going to jail.

"How could you do that?" Jazmine cried.

"Because he didn't pay what he owe!" Riley said.

"Because you are a bad boy!" Jazmine scream, "and now we are going to jail!"

"Shut up!" Huey said to the both of them.

No one said anything and Jazmine softly cries.

The door opens revealing a police officer.

"Alright kids, your parents and guardians are here to take you home."

:

"Oh Jazmine don't scare us like that again!" Tom cried, "because if anything happen than there is a possibility I could be anally raped!"

"Oh Tom don't be so dramatic!" Sarah cried.

They started arguing as Robert was screaming at the boys.

"Do you know how much it cost to bail you little niggas out of jail?" Granddad screamed. "all for some man in a silly suit!"

"WHAT!" Jazmine cried out.

"What?" Huey said calmer.

"WHAT THE FUCK!" Riley yelled out.

"So there is no such thing as Santa Clause?" Huey asked.

"Well Huey there is a man-" Tom started.

"Tom their old enough to know the truth," Granddad said, "there is no such thing as Santa Clause."

Jazmine started crying all over again but louder.

"So you guys use Santa as a rues to get kids to be good?" Huey asked.

"Pretty much yes," Sarah admitted.

"Mommy daddy why?!" Jazmine cried out.

"ROBERT YOU RUIN MY DAUGHTER!" Tom cried out.

"Granddad you owe me my rims!" Riley accursed.

"Boy come here!" Granddad said as he took off his belt.

As Jazmine cried and Granddad giving Riley the whipping of his life. Huey just walked upstairs.

#FFE#

"It was just a man in a silly suit," Huey said shaking his head.

"I thought it was the best way," Jazmine said, "what your Granddad told us."

"And I still didn't get my rims," Riley complained.

Cindy laughs, "Alright big boy time for bed."

"Good night!" Jazmine said getting her bed ready for the night.

"Night Jazzy!" they said going to bed in Jazmine's room.

Huey stood there watching made up a bed on the couch.

"Jazmine take my bed," Huey said.

"Huey I'll be fine, Go."

Huey didn't like it one bit. But he headed to bed anyways as Jazmine laid down to sleep.

::::

Jazmine tried to get warm but she was unsuccessful. She brought the blankets closer to her body to try and get a bit more warmth from them. The night was as cold as Huey predicted and Jazmine wished she put on an extra layer of clothing or something. But they had guests and she needed to get at least some sleep.

Suddenly the blankets were ripped off her body.

"Hey!"

"SHHH keep it down!" Huey whispered as he started gathering the blankets and her pillows, "come with me."

Jazmine wasn't sure if it was the lack of sleep or the cold getting to her, but she followed Huey into his bedroom as he put two more on their sleeping kids.

"Huey…what?"

"It's too cold and you are going to get sick," he said putting the rest of the pillows and blankets onto his bed, "and if you are going to be stubborn about me sleeping on the couch than we'll share my bed."

"Please tell me you are not serious?" Jazmine asked.

"We are both adults and we are both tired and freezing. You can go back to the couch but it isn't a big deal if we use the same bed for sleeping," he said getting in, "the choice is yours."

Jazmine crawled into bed as if it was a no brainer because it looked warm and inviting than the couch she was trying to sleep on.

"Mama?" Rosa said.

"Go back to sleep baby," Jazmine whispered. Once she saw Rosa sleeping again, Jazmine laid down. It was defiantly more warmer and more comfortable than the couch in the living room.

"Good night Jazmine."

"Good night Huey."

But either one could sleep right away. It was hard for the both of them not to notice their sleeping compaion for the night as they both lay far from each other. They went to sleep but it wasn't easy. Wasn't anything ever easy in their life?
