*Before I start this chapter people who have been paying attention knows Vito is a flirt, especially when it comes to Maddy. Don't be surprise by his words . And let me in by H.E.R def fit these guys. But on that note to to the story. Hello Maria,what a surprise" Madison mumbles

"I hope it isn't an issue coming. I just couldn't miss my grand baby party." She says walking on the elevator

"No not at all." Madison mutters

Madison side eyed Vito making sure to make him read her anger through her eyes.

"I bought the birthday girl a gift." She smiles holding a big box wrapped up

"Thanks."

The door shuts and the ride up was silent,only the light snores of the children could be heard.

Maria leaves the elevator and waits out in the hallway,waiting to be led down to the apartment door.

Madison walks out followed by Vito who feels guilty. He didn't think she would be that angry about him inviting his mother.

Madison shifts Layla up some and opens the unlocked door. She opens the door to see Dre,Smiley,Raniyah,and Warren.

"Took ya long enough." Raniyah says from the couch rocking Ava.

"Well I'm going to go give her a bath." Madison mutters heading to her bedroom

Smiley walks up to Vito and shakes his head.

"I'll take my son,you go handle that ."

Vito daps Smiley up and hands him the carseat.

He follows Madison to her bedroom and closes the door behind him.

"Ivy you have to understand she's my mother-

"Who does not like me. Why -

"Shut up I'm talking, That's my mother right there and I get that y'all have y'all differences that y'all need to work out but she flew from Detroit all the way to New York to see her grandchild what does that tell you?" Vito asks

Madison furrows her eyebrows before looking at him crazy.

"Did you just tell me to shut up in my own house?" She asks calmly

"Madison now is not the time."

"No Victor, it's the right damn time. You can't just come into my house and tell me what to do, expecting that I should follow your needs and wishes. I don't care if your mama was the damn President. You're lucky she brought a gift." Madison says pointing at him and trying to push past him to get to the bathroom.

Vito slams the door shut and locks it before pushing her in a corner.

"All day you've been having that little nasty ass attitude and I let you slide. I apologized twice to you and you still want to walk around like you have something stuck in your ass. I won't continue to accept the disrespect so fix it. I don't care if this is your crib or not, learn to respect me as much as I respect you. The lady brung a gift and was being nice and retaliated the same way. Stop acting like you're so mad at the world."

"Get away from me." She puffs trying to push him out of her face

Vito stays put towering over her short frame.

"Ivy you just know how to get me riled up."

"Leave me alone Victor,just enjoy the time with your kids and leave." She mutters

Vito runs his tongue over his bottom lip before interrogating her.

"When's the last time you came?"

"Get out Victor." She mumbles

"No honestly,because when you're horny you act like a real meany."

"Don't worry about me or my needs. They are very fulfilled." She responds

"Oh really?"

"You're making me uncomfortable so could you exit my room."

Madison couldn't look him in his eyes. Her eyes stay connected to his all black timberland's.

"Look me in my eyes and tell me I'm making you uncomfortable." He states

Each time he spoke her eyelashes fluttered.

"Get away from me." She mumbles trying to push him away

"I have the cutest baby mom, you know that,right?" He mumbles lowering his head to her ear

"Victor leave me alone and get away from my ears"

Madison started getting agitated by the second. She was sort of being turned on but mostly angered by his presence.

"Can I-

"Can you move because I'm not getting turned on by this. " she announces now connecting with his eyes

"Ivy tell me the truth. Are we officially over or do I-

"This is over,I'm over. This between us ended a month ago. So you can keep your threats, your comments,and your seducing methods to yourself." She responds

Vito somehow couldn't believe her.

"So you don't miss my kisses? You don't miss the way I love you?" He asks

"Victor, you shot a man in front of me. Your the last person on earth I would be thinking about having sex with right now."

"So who's the first if I'm last?" He asks chuckling

"Not you ...that's for sure."

"You think he could pipe you down like how I can?" "Don't nobody know your body like me. Not even yourself knows your body more than me. I bet you right now your toes are curling. Your breath will soon get a little shaky and those nipples you have...hard. Ivy I know you. Invest yourself in a toy that can really hit the spot and then you can stop being so grumpy. I said I was sorry, do you accept my apology?"

Madison rolls her eyes and stands in the corner still agitated by his existence.

"Do you accept my apology ?" He asks again

Vito looks over at the bed to see Layla still sleep. He places one hand next to her body(on the wall) barricading her.

"Ivy Do.you.accept.my.apology?"

"Yes ,Gosh." She pushes him out of her face and walks over to the bed to wake Layla up.

"Let her sleep, she drained herself out."

Madison walks over to her dresser in search of a new outfit to wear when she feels the presence of him behind her.

"Please don't start again, just get out so I can sleep with my baby."

Vito chuckles and makes his way out of her room. He heads to the living room to let everyone in on the news.

"The birthday girl is asleep. So I'll order a bunch of food and we can eat and stuff till she gets up."

Dre sits on the chair unbothered. He isn't worried about Vito and vice versa. He gets up from his spot and heads to Madison's room to check on her. He knocks on the door twice before calling out.

"Sis are you okay?"

He opens the door and walks to see her sleep with Layla on her chest.

He leaves her room,making sure to close it. He goes into the bathroom and locks the door. He opens the small window occupied near the bath and places the floor towel at the end of the door. Dre takes a blunt from his ear and sparks it up before putting it to his lips.

He sat on the toilet and smoked the whole blunt down to a roach.

"Thats some good stuff right there." He coughs

Someone at the door knocking gets his attention.

"Who is it?"

"Who blowing down in there?" Smiley asks

"Man you already know who it is."

Dre unlocks the door to see Smiley with three blunts in his hand.

"Ayeee"

"Whatchu Ayyeeeeing for? Nigga these is mine." Smiley says laughing

"Man let me get one,you can still have two for yourself."

Vito walks by the bathroom to see the two talking. His eyes connect with Dre and on cue departed.

"S lemme speak to him real quick."

Smiley nods and daps Dre up before leaving.

"I don't want to speak with you,you oversized dinosaur." Dre says taking a seat on the toilet

"I just got high and I don't have time for this."

Vito shakes his head before speaking.

"You know you my dawg,wassup with you man"

"The question is wassup with you nigga. You been on some shaky ish" Dre says looking up at him

"How Dre?"

"Nigga your just being weird. How are you going to tell that girl she needs to get rid of her baby?" Dre said shaking his head

"Dre your cousin trapped me. I never nutted in that girl. That's why I told her to get rid of it. Why should I make her get a free meal ticket?"

"Man, whatever , I don't care." Dre says trying to keep his low eyes open

"Who's in here smoking?" Madison asks groggily

"Vito." Dre answers getting up out of the bathroom

Madison looks up at him and scowls her face.

"Smell me, it was him."

"Get out the bathroom so I can use it." Madison groans

"I think I rather watch." Vito tries flirting

"Can somebody come get their son or cousin." Madison shouts making Smiley come around the corner

"Come on man."

Everyone sat somewhere drinking some form of alcoholic drink. The kids still slept while their parents sip on their styrofoam cups.

"Madison are you still breastfeeding ?" Maria asks looking at her little cup

Madison looks at her and shakes her head.

"No"

Vito stayed silent watching the interaction,hoping he didn't have to break an argument up

"You can stop staring at me." Madison mutters catching Vito's attention

"You talking to me?" He asks getting up from his spot and moving next to her

"Don't come over here."

"You drunk already?" Vito asks

"M-Mind your business Vict-or"

"Yea ima take this."

He grabs the cup from her hand and places it on the coffee table.

"Come get some water."

Vito hand slips in hers and he directs her to the kitchen so he could get her a fresh bottle of water.

"You know you're not even scary,it's just the stuff you do. Like shoot people." She announces

"I forgot your a chatterbox when you're drunk."

He hands her a bottle of water and watches as she guzzles it down.

"So are we cutting this cake or what?" Vito asks

"M-My baby is still sleeping sooo no." " why would we c-

"Shhhhh go lay down or something."

"I don't want to and stop telling me what to do because you're irrelevant and this is my housssseee." Madison says

"Ouch that hurt my feelings." He fake cries

"Good now you know how it feels " she says smiling in satisfaction

"You're so cute." Vito smiles

"Thanks but I don't find you cute."

A moment of silent past before they bust out laughing.

"I'm just joking. You're fine,your attitude is crazy though."

She emphasizes Crazy with so much force.

"Oh really?" Vito says raising his eyebrow

"Yes you came here looking good today." Madison confesses biting her lip trying to look sexy

"Did I now?"

"I think I'm drunk."Madison murmurs

"Wowwww I think you are too" Vito says, making Madison stale face him.

"No foreal Victor you look super good. Super super good, super super-

"Okay Ivy I get it."

Madison burst out laughing before walking over to him. She plants one hand on his cheek before speaking.

"I don't hate you...you just get on my nerves...Like a lot"

"What did you drink? All I saw you do was sip on a cup of wine."

Madison lets his face go and walks on the counter to take a seat.

"This was like-was like- wait what "

"Your first taste in months" he nods

"You hungry?"

"Yesss." She drags out

"Pizza on the table". He answers

"Victor can I tell you something?" She asks looking up at him

"Wassup?"

" I have dreams about you at night." She says lowly

"That's because you miss me and I have dreams about you to I be -"

"No like really scary dreams. Dreams of you hurting me. Shooting me in my face,in my stomach,or in front of the kids."

Vito's buzz was killed. Automatically he realized Madison wasn't drinking for fun. She was drinking because of him.

"A month and counting I have been trying to sleep,but I can't. Everytime I think it's going to be something different you-youuu pop up and just shoot me with no remorse."

Madison looked up at him and was beginning to sober up a little. She stares at his face watching his expression look the same. He couldn't say anything to her. He takes one more look at her before exiting. Leaving her apartment to go sit in his car.

"Where'd Vito go?" Maria asks walking in the kitchen

"I don't know." Madison mumbles

"Look Madison, I know in the past I may have said some things to get you from my son but now I know he loves you a lot. I can see that he cherishes your life. Please forgive me for all the wrong I have said to you or have done, I love my grandbabies and would love to see them more often."

Madison looks at Maria teary eyed and begins nodding.

"Oh honey what's wrong?" She runs over to her and embraces her into a hug before all of Madison's sobs could be audible.

"I -I can't do this."

"You can't do what?" Maria asks looking at her

"I-I thought I could handle being around him but I can't. I just can't"

Maria rubs her back while Madison pours her heart out.

"Let me tell you something. I don't know what happened between you two but I do know y'all will get through it,y'all always do." Maria says softly holding her chin

"HEY I'M HERE!" Raymond squeals.

Madison wipes her eyes and begins laughing.

"Where is Miss Madison?" Raymond asks

"In here Ray."

Ray walks in the kitchen to see her eyes.

"Oh honey you must have stopped breastfeeding. You look drunk"

Madison chuckles and gives Maria a hug.

"Thanks Maria."

Maria nods and makes her way out of the kitchen.

"Girl was that his mama?" Raymond whispers yells

"Yes"

"I guess we are having story night." Raymond shrugs

"Where is the birthday girl? God father Ray has got her a whole bunch of princess stuff."

"She's sleeping. I need to wake her up now, it has been two hours." Madison responds

"So what didn't daddy come?"

"He did and he left."

"Is he coming back?" Raymond asks

"I really don't know."

Madison shakes her head and wipes her eyelids.

"I told him about the dreams."

"Oh shucks"

Raymond bites down on his teeth looking nervous.

"So he left after you told him?"Raymond questions

"Yup"

"Well honey your baby father is not coming back." Raymond says shaking his head

The door opening and closing again gets her attention.

"Who's at the door?"

Madison gets up from off the counter and makes her way in the living room. Her eyes travel around till she sees Morgan and her cousin Damien.

"OH MY GOSH DAME!" She squeals running over to him

"Hey babygirl how are you. You're the last person I thought would be having babies."

" And you Miss Raniyah you have a baby too?" He questions smiling

"Yeah Dame." She answers grinning

"Well I got presents for all the babies."

"Everyone, this is my older cousin Damien. He's in the army." Maddy introduces

"Oh word, so you be shooting people?" Dre asks looking up

Damien chuckles before answering.

"No actually I'm an engineer."

Madison hugs into his strong body one more time,not letting go.

He turns his body around with Madison also turning so no one could see her.

"You okay?" He asks looking down

"No" she croaks

"You wanna talk about it?"

"No"

She continues to hug him tight.

Vito walks through the door and instantly the smell of weed could be smelled.

"It smells like straight weed." Damien murmurs

Vito made eye contact with Damien , but he broke it once he saw Madison hugging on him.

"Victor, this is Madison's cousin in the army who shoots people." Dre says staring at him

"Actually I'm an engineer." He answers

"So you must be the father?" Damien asks stretching his hand out for an hand shake

"Yes that's me."

Vito shakes his hand and lets it go.

"Well since everyone is here, I'll wake Layla up." Vito says walking to the back

"Madison why are you still hugging me?" He asks looking down at her

"I miss your hugs."

"We'll talk later. I'm out of the army now so I guess you will be seeing me more often."

Vito sits on the toilet cover while he gives Layla a bath.

"Daddy can't wash your hair because mommy just did it." He says to her referring to her neatly braided hair.

"Is she almost done?" Madison asks standing by the door

"Uhh yeah"

"Could you pass me her towel."

Madison grabs her towel from off of the sink and hands it to him.

"Hands up" Vito says making Layla throw them up giggling

He wraps the towel around her body and stands up so he can get her.

"Daddy's princess is all clean, scruba duba clean"

He kisses her forehead and feels as she leans in to kiss his cheek.

"I love your kisses princess."

He walks past Madison and heads into her room to clothe Layla.

Madison already set her clothes out on the bed so all she has to do for herself is change. She walks in the room and grabs her leopard dress from off of the bed.

"You have to change?"

"I'm going in the bathroom."she answers

Madison walks in the bathroom and locks the door behind her. She takes her previous clothes off and places them in her hamper before shimmying the dress up her body.

"Ouu I can fit it." She grins

She looks in the mirror and begin brushing her hair down. She reapplied lip gloss to her lips before exiting the bathroom. She walks out and enters her room to see Layla with her tutu.

"Awww my baby." She cries

She wanted to cry by how she looked.

"Princess you're about to make mommy cry." She whines

She engulfs Layla and picks her up off the bed.

"I'm here." She hears someone says out of breath

Madison turns around to see Mahogany walking in the room.

"Hey love." Madison says placing Layla down

"Oh my goshhhhh,Madison you really did buy her a tutu."

"Hello Vito." Mahogany says acknowledging his presence

"Wassup"

"Layla you look so beautiful." She coos

"Okay since everyone is here we are going to sing happy birthday."

"Mahogany, could you past me her white socks?" She asks

Mahogany grabs a pair from Madison's draw and hands it to her.

"Okay Mommy's princess."

Vito checks in on Cairo and begins changing him before leaving him to sleep.

Raniyah brings a small little cake out that has a shape of a heart and places it on the table.

"Ugh Madison I don't think that small cake is going to do" Dre says scratching his head

"This is Layla's cake fool. The one for us is in the kitchen"

"Well bring that cake out ion wanna see this ." Dre huffs

"Dre shut up." Raniyah groans slapping the back of his head

Madison walks out with Layla on her hip and everyone begins complimenting her.

"Awww you're so precious." Maria says pinching on her cheek

"Why does she have a rat on her shirt?" Dre asks frowning

"It's Minnie mouse." Madison answers frowning

"Lay lay tell them I ain't no mouse."

"Can we have Mommy and Daddy together so we can take pictures?" Raniyah asks

Vito looks at Madison and watches as she nods.

Madison hands Layla to Vito . He holds her by his chest while Madison fixes her tutu.

"Madison get closer." Raniyah says moving her hand inward to motion her to move.

Madison lets out a breath before feeling Vito hand wrap around her abdomen pulling her to his side. The smell of Dior and weed mixed on his shirt.

"Now smile."

Madison smiles and watches as the flash hits her eyes.

"Awww what a beautiful picture."

"One more" Smiley shouts winking at Vito

"Nah one is enough." Vito says letting his arm slither from around her waist.

"Alright fam let's sing."

Everyone sings terribly making Layla cheese.

"Happy birthday Princess"
