"Get yo hands out the pot."

"I was just making sure that it ain't poisoned." Kendall said as she chewed the alfredo that she snuck outta the pot, making Cookie smack her lips.

"Move. Matter fact, can you go get Amir? He's in his crib upstairs asleep, It's time for him to eat." She said shooing Kendall out the kitchen.

"Mommy I'm finished rolling, can we add the chocolate chips now?"

"Yes. Only do two and a half cups." Cookie said while handing Lyric the measuring cup. After making sure that Lyric was occupied with baking, Kelly spoke up gaining Cooks attention. "What's the matter with you?" She asked her sister/ best friend.

"Nothing. Just a little tired." Cookie said as she cut up vegetables for the salad.

Kelly raised an eyebrow. "Tired my ass. What's going on."

"I peeped her mood when I got here too but I didn't want to say anything." Nicki chimed in as she poured herself a shot of henny.

"Nothings wrong I'm just...tired that's all."

"Tired of what? Fighting for something that's never going to cha-" Kelly began to say but Cookie cut her off by clearing her throat and motioning her head towards Lyric.

Kelly didn't have a problem with Lucious, but she had a problem with the way he treated Cookie. He had her so strung and stressed out to the point to where Cookie didn't even look like herself. She hardly ever dressed up anymore, She would go to work in casual wear, the bags under her eyes were noticeable from ten feet away, she was barely eating and you could tell, She had lost so much weight. It hurt her to see her sister in so much pain.

"All ima say is, I'm not gon stay quiet forever and let you let yourself go." Kelly finished.

"Stay quiet for long about what?" They heard Lucious ask making everybody jump. He chuckled at them all being startled as he made his way into the kitchen. Meek and Skye walked in behind him which caught them a little off guard.

"Daddy look look! Mommy's helping me make chocolate chip cookies." Lyric said proudly as she mixed in the chocolate chips.

"You baking them for me?" Lucious asked as he leaned over the island to place a kiss on her forehead.

"Sum like that." She said before going back to mixing.

"Oh y'all drinking DRINKING! Shit pour me up!" Skye said grabbing a glass off the island making Kelly laugh.

"Which one you want sis?" Nicki asked.

"BOTH!" Skye said mixing Henny and Paul Mason in her glass before sipping on it slowly. "Mmm I'm about to be drunk out my body tonight."

Lucious walked over to Cookie and placed his hand just right above her ass. He Leaned down to kiss her lips but she slightly turned her face and gave him her cheek. "Can we talk later?" He mumbled in her ear as he watched her place the salad in the big bowl.

She hasn't said one word to Lucious since she had received the news from him and Star yesterday. She was giving him the silent treatment and it drove him crazy, if it was one thing he hated was being ignored. But if it was one thing Cookie hated..it was being lied to.

"Hey you" Meek said walking over to Nicki and kissing her lips making everybody aww. "Lucious you owe me five hunnid. I told you they was gon get together." Skye gloated as she sipped on her drink.

"Y'all betted on us?" Nicki asked throwing a chocolate chip at Skye.

"We bet on everything, like debating if you had a boob job or not." Sky said as she ate the chocolate chip.
