Chapter 13

"Fine, I'll cook." He agreed, even though he didn't feel like cooking but he knew it was only right.

Third Person's POV

Penda and Dashon are on their way to get baby Paris. Penda is giving him directions on how to get to her parents house.

Finally arriving, he killed the engine. He got out the car and walked over to the passenger side and opened the door for Penda.

Penda's parents are standing on the porch watching. Making their way to the porch was awkward.

"Mom, Dad.. this is Dashon. The man that me and my kids are living with. Dashon, these are my parents Mr Henson and Mrs. Henson." Penda introduced.

"Nice to finally meet you." Dashon greeted. Her parents eyed him. By the look on their faces, he could tell that they didn't like him already.

"Where is-" before Penda could finish her sentence, Her daughter Paris came running up to her. She picked her four year old up.

"Hi sweetie." Penda said in excitement. She missed her baby.

"Did you have fun with grandma and grandpa?"

"Yes." "Okay baby, that's good." Penda said as she put her down. Surprisingly, she ran to Dashon and hugged him.

That was kind of shocking because she never did that before.

Due to the height difference she was hugging his leg but it's still cute.

"Can you pick me up?" She begged. Dashon chuckled and honored the little girl's wish.

"You heavy, you know that?" He teased. "Sowrry. You can put me down if I'm hurting you." She offered.

"Aw, no. It was a joke Paris. You're not hurting me... at all. I'm strong, see?" He said flexing his muscles.

"Stronger than me?" She questioned. "No. Not stronger than you." He said boosting her confidence.

"Paris, can you go back inside for a few minutes?" Mykelti (Mr. Henson) nicely asked his granddaughter.

"But-" "if you go back inside, you'll get another lollipop before you leave." Ptosha (Mrs. Henson) jumped in. Ptosha knew that her granddaughter would have no problem doing as told if she gave her a deal like that. I mean what four year old wouldn't take the deal?

A smile grew on her face at those words.

"Okay." She said sweetly as Dashon put her down.

"We'll let you know when we ready." Dashon assured her before she went into the house.

The way Dashon was interacting with his granddaughter, Mr Henson didn't like that. He didn't like it at all. Neither did Mrs. Henson aka Ptosha.

"You've gotten pretty close with my granddaughter." Mykelti spoke. "Grandson too. They're good kids." Dashon replied.

"So you're using the kids to get into my daughter head?" Ptosha assumed.

"Mom!" Said Penda. She knew they would be tough to deal with but this is embarrassing...

"I am not using the kids at all, Mrs Henson. I care for them just like I do your daughter. I don't want fame, I don't want money. My intentions with y'all daughter and grandkids are good. I promise.." Dashon protested.

"You don't want fame? I find that hard to believe." Mr Henson tossed.

"I really don't, sir. Having fame changes your whole life. You don't have much privacy... why would I want that for myself?" Dashon tried convincing.
