A week later.

"Oh my god." India pouted, about to start crying as Skylar cried loudly.

Both Von and Kentrell were at the studio, so she was here alone with Skylar, and she couldn't stop crying.

She'd took a bath with her, fed her, tried laying her on her chest and nothing was working. This was the first time she couldn't get Skylar to calm down and it was stressing her out.

"What do you want baby?" India sniffed, wiping her face and rolling her eyes in frustration.

"Please stop crying." She mumbled, rocking her in her arms.

India heard a knock on her door, and she wiped her face, walking to look out her peephole, before swinging the door open.

"Awww." Koda laughed, grabbing Skylar from her.

"Wassup mama? What happened?" Koda kissed over her face, wiping her tears.

"She won't stop. I don't know what's wrong. I can't help her, I don't know how." India sniffed, wiping her face as Kendall chuckled.

"Wassup nannie baby. Why you crying fat girl?" Koda pulled her hoodie off, letting Skylar lay on her chest as she sat on the couch.

Skylar's cries softened almost immediately, making India frown.

"What the hell?" She mugged Sky as she sat next to Kendall who laughed.

"I think it's your cologne. She miss her daddies." She frowned, and Koda smiled, rubbing her back as she began to doze off.

"How long she been crying for?" Kendall asked, looking over at her.

"Man like two hours. Had me over here crying and shit." India wiped her face, and she laughed.

"You look like a mom. It's cute." Kendall looked over her attire of a T shirt, able to see her boobs through the shirt with baby slobber on her.

"Thank you, I think. Where you coming from?" India asked, rubbing over her dreads.

"Straight off the plane to you mama." She slouched on the couch, closing her eyes.

"Thank you for coming. And for helping me with her. I missed you." India kissed her cheek, pulling her throw blanket over the three of them.

"I missed you too baby. You know I got you." Kendall wrapped her arm around her, eventually dozing off.

3 hours later.

"Nikani wake up." India felt Kendall softly tapping her, and her eyes fluttered open, looking around.

"My baby. Where my baby at?" India mumbled, and Kendall chuckled, pointing behind her where Skylar was in her rocking chair watching Moana.

"I made you food. Hm, sit up." Koda helped her, passing her a plate of cheese fettuccine Alfredo pasta.

"Thank you Koda. Shit look bomb." India took the plate and caprisun from her, and Koda sat next to her.

"You okay?" Kendall asked, and she nodded as she put a forkful of food in her mouth.

"You're lying. Why you lying to me?" She rose her eyebrow, and India looked over at her.

"I am okay. I just didn't realize how much of a full time job being a mom was. And Von and Ken be gone sometimes and it just be too much. I don't know." India played with her food as Kendall watched her.

"Why ain't you told them? You need a break too Kani." Kendall said, and she shrugged.

"I'm not upset with them or anything, and I don't mind doing it because she's my daughter. I signed up for this the day I found out I was pregnant. I'm not tired of it or anything it just gets overwhelming sometimes." India told her, eating the pasta.

"You can be a mom and still take a break baby. You gone tire yourself out, and if they gone be at work, who gone take care of Sky when you break your body down? You gotta take a break girl." Kendall pushed her hair behind her ear, and she sighed, putting her plate down.

"I love my baby so much. What if I'm a bad mom?" India covered her face in her hands as she began crying.

Kendall stood up, grabbing Skylar out of her rocker before sitting back next to India.

"India look at her baby." Kendall spoke, and India looked up from her hands, wiping her face. India laughed, watching Sky coo, reaching for her.

"You see that? Whenever she see you her fat ass face light up. You doing a damn good job Nikani. She love you. You can tell you doing everything right." Kendall said, watching Skylar lay on India's chest.

"I love her. My baby my best friend. I be by myself a lot now. It just be me and her." India mumbled, rubbing Skylar's back.

"Why ain't you told them none of this?" She frowned, and India shrugged.

"I don't wanna seem like a brat. I know they have work and they have to get music out for their labels. They not doing it on purpose I'm just dramatic." India said, and Koda waved her off.

"India it don't matter mama. If you feeling some type of way about anything, you need to tell them. It's okay to feel how you do India you not being a brat." Kendall told her, and she sniffed.

"I love you so bad." She mumbled, laying her head in her neck, and Kendall smiled.

"I love you too. I want you to take a break. You want me to take her with me? Just for a day Kani." Koda said, and India shook her head.

"No. I'm not ready to be away from her." She wiped her face as Sky slept quietly on her chest.

"But I will. I promise I will. Thank you." India kissed her cheek, and Kendall held her face.

"I'm serious Kani. Take a break. I love you." She kissed her forehead, and India's face flushed a light pink.

"I love you too. Be safe, Ima call you later. And thank you for coming Kendall. It meant a lot, foreal." India said as she stood up.

"You welcome baby. Bye fat mama." Kendall kissed Skylar's forehead, before waving at India and walking out.

India sighed, leaning back in the couch and putting the blanket over her and Skylar.

India loved being a mom, it was her most favorite thing ever. She'd never felt so needed and loved before her baby. It felt like Skylar's love for her would never end, and she loved that.

But it was hard for her. It was hard, and it was new. Something she'd never done before, so she overthought everything, hoping she was doing it right.

She didn't want Sky to feel how she did growing up. It was hard for India, adjusting to motherhood, but she was going to do whatever for her.

India was shook out of her thoughts, keeping her eyes closed as her front door opened.

"Shut the fuck up nigga you see her sleep." Von punched Kentrell's shoulder as they walked in.

"Boy don't hit me I'll beat yo ass innis bitch." Kentrell chuckled, and India felt him kiss her forehead.

"She ain't even sleep. Why you faking fa' guh'?" Kentrell stood over her, and she chuckled.

"I didn't say I was asleep. Y'all just assumed." She shrugged, and Von smacked his lips, making her laugh.

"Please don't wake her up Ken she just went to sleep." India mumbled, watching him grab Skylar.

"I'll put her back to sleep." Kentrell said, and India shook her head.

"No, don't wake her up." India told him, and he held his hand up in surrender, carrying Skylar to her room.

"Wassup baby? You okay?" Von asked, sensing a slight attitude.

"Yes, I just don't want him to wake her up. He won't even put her back to sleep if he does he'll just give her to me and I'll have to stay up all n-." India began to ramble, and Von cut her off.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa ma. Calm down baby I was just asking. Chill out ma." Von sat beside her, pulling her in his lap.

"What's wrong?" He asked as she laid her head on his shoulder.

"I feel like I'm doing this by myself." India mumbled as Kentrell walked back in with a caprisun.

"What?" Von frowned, and she hid her face in his chest, softly crying.

"India I'm not mad ma, I just want you to explain more." Von rubbed her back, and Kentrell sat down with his eyebrows furrowed.

"Y'all be at work so much more than y'all did before I had her and now that she's here it feels like I've been doing it by myself. And I know I haven't, I love when y'all help me but most of the time it's just me and Sky at home by ourself. I don't wanna be spoiled and ask y'all to stay home from work I just want a little more help. Just a little bit please. I'm so overwhelmed and I'm so sleepy all the time because my baby always need me. And I jus-I don't know. Don't be upset with me please." She rambled to them, and Kentrell leaned over to kiss her cheek, making her smile.

"I'm sorry Nene I didn't realize baby." He wiped her face, and she nodded, sniffing.

"Kani why you ain't tell us when you first felt like that?" Von rubbed her back, and she shrugged, trying to stop crying.

"I didn't wanna be a brat. Because I know I'm not doing it by myself it just feels like it a little bit. I'm sorry." She sniffed, groaning in frustration as she aggressively wiped her tears, making Kentrell laugh, and she smiled.

"You don't have nothin' to apologize for. I wish you would've said something earlier. You know ion like you keeping shit yourself, that's why this work remember? Cause we talk about it. I got you now though aight? I'm only working on the weekends and I'm with you all week." Von kissed her cheek, and she smiled, hugging around his neck.

She pulled Kentrell in on the hug, holding around his neck as he kissed her face.

"I tell you too many times that you are a brat, but you my brat. I got you baby, I'm sorry." Kentrell mumbled, and her smile grew.

"I love you." She mumbled, poking her lips out, and he smiled, kissing her.

"I love you more." Kentrell wiped her face, and she turned to look at Von.

"And I love my boo so much." She held his face, and he smiled, kissing all over hers, making her laugh.

"I love you too fat mama."

I love them too 😩👏🏻
