I glanced at Shiya who nodded. "I'm going to let her take Zaya. She's great with them."

Sarah must have noticed my hesitance, so she motioned to the house. "We'll be just over there. You can see us from here and come peek in if you start missing her."

I nodded, kissed Avi's cheeks, and let Sarah take her. She collected Zaya as well, holding them both, one on each hip before she turned to head back into the house.

Zina walked over to the table of drinks and lifted one which she brought to me. "This is just juice, you're still breastfeeding, right?"

I frowned and Shiya spoke up. "I mentioned it just in case. I wasn't sure."

"Yes, just juice is fine." I occasionally drank but since I was driving I decided to play it safe.

"Wait, you're still breastfeeding. How old is your daughter?" Sabrina said with a frown.

"Eight months and I pump but wanted her to have at least a year."

"That's ambitious," Layla said, sharing a look with Sabrina. "Most of us skip that or stop early to make sure we have our freedom and our bodies back."

Of course you do…

"I pump so I have both and it's not really about me. It's about Avi."

"How does that work with whoever keeps her?" Sabrina asked and sipped her mimosa.

"We don't have anyone yet."

"So who keeps her?" Layla looked at me.

“Me and her father.”

Her parents. The fuck?

I heard stories about these women not raising their kids, but damn, was it really that deep.

"So basicallyyoubecause men don't raise their children. Notourvery wealthy men."

"Omiri is very hands on with Avi, so I'm not sure what you mean by our…"

"Hands on, that's cute." Sabrina smiled smugly.

"Sabrina, chill. Why are you worried about what they're doing in their house? Worry about your own," Zina warned.

"I'm just saying, we all know that man's reputation for denying babies left and right and now he's father of the year?"

And this was exactly why I had no interest in being around these hoes…

I opened my mouth to respond but Shiya cut in, "Speaking of reputations, Sabrina, how is your man doing with his little problem? He still accidentally responding to his ex's pussy pictures?"

Sabrina almost choked on her mimosa. "I know you don't believe those fake ass screenshots. That girl made those."

"Right, with his number and dick pics attached." Zina rolled her eyes.

Shiya smirked. "Yep, I'm sure it's completely innocent. Just checking up on her with that new baby they're having. She's what… three months pregnant and y'all have been together for a year and a half?"

She turned to Layla. "And your man just got caught with that Skroll model, right? The one who posted all the screenshots of how much money he's been sending her through CashMe for pussy pics. I hope that's fake too, or maybe you might want to get a little wax down there, because it seems that’s what he likes. I can recommend my girl to you if you need someone."

I almost sprayed the table with my juice, trying not to laugh. "So anyway, can we focus on some safer topics because neither of you has room to judge a damn thing Makari has going in her life," Zina said, rolling her eyes.

"Since you want to put our shit on blast, how about you let her know the real? Let's keep it cute. Even if he's playing house now, that can change. These men have opportunities everywhere. Women are constantly throwing themselves at them. Don't think my situation is any different than yours,” Sabrina said, sounding butt hurt.
