"The xylophone played a song so beautiful it caused the whole town to weep with joy."
Juju could not believe his triplets birthday was today. Why was time flying by like this he wondered.
Beyonce was up first. Her hair was longer than her eldest sister but she looked a lot like Kesha.
Next up was Amber Rose.
Her bright blue hair was a shock to her parents. Where did it come from they wondered.
The last birthday of the night was their only son, Tank.
His hairstyle was the same as Jujus but his hair was blue as well. He even had the purple tips like his sister. It was strange but very beautiful, they decided to leave it be.
It was obvious to anyone with half a noggin that Tank had a special place in Joe's heart. He was the only boy and would be the only one to carry on the name.
Beyonce was more independent. She liked to play with blocks rather then play with her siblings.
"School is so hard. I can't show this to my dads they will be so disappointed in me." Kesha crumpled up the report card and tossed it in the trash before either one of her parents saw. It wasn't as if they cared what she did anymore, they were to busy with her brother and sisters.
Juju tossed Tank in the air after his bath. "Look at you big boy and look at that hair!" He gushed. He loved his son and all he could see was a perfect mix between his husband and himself.
Kesha had been acting out a bit since the new arrivals so Juju decided to take her to the park that was right next door. They hadn't been there yet and now seemed like a good time to bond with her and let her know he still loved her.
When they got to the park Juju noticed Tisha was there. They had become really good friends ever since she moved here from strangetown. He even saw her in her commercial all that time back.
Tisha was a little busy so Juju sat down with a lovely little girl to play chess. There was no way he could lose.
He did end up losing though and saw that Tisha was done with her game so he walked over to her.
"Soo I just lost a game of chess to a 10 year old. Should I be embarrassed?" Tisha couldn't stop laughing. "Wait, aren't you suppose to be a top dog in the military? How am I suppose to feel safe if you can't strategize?
"I'm not a top dog yet Tish, and playing a game of chess is nothing like military operations." They both bust out laughing at the blatant lie before something caught Juju attention.
He looks over his shoulder to see his little girl talking to a strange man with no kids and an open shirt. This guy definitely gave Juju a perv vibe.
"Kesha, who is your new friend?" June turned right around and introduced himself.
"Hi Mr. Baca. I am Kesha sub. I use to be the gym teacher but now I fill in for whoever needs it." At once all of Jujus worries floated away. At least he wasn't stranger danger Juju just hoped he didn't wear this to school.
"Pumpkin, it makes me nervous when I see you talking to people daddy doesn't know. Don't do it again okay? If someone comes up and starts talking to you get my attention." Kesha shook her head and agreed to never do that to her daddy again. "I'm sorry daddy. I didn't think it would be a problem because he works at the school." Juju smiled at his daughter she was so innocent and he wished she could always stay like this. They played at the park a bit more before heading home, it was getting late and Kesha had school in the morning.
Kesha was feeling better about her sibling and often times would get greeted by her baby brother Tank.
"Hey big boy! How was your day!" Kesha asked in a sing song voice.
"Gut." Tank whispered. He didn't say much and when he did talk he was very soft spoken. Kesha worried about him in school. If anyone tried to pick on her brother she would beat them up. Granted it was just her at the school but whenever kids started going she would be there.
Joe was having a hard morning. All the kids needed his attention, Juju was no help what so ever because he couldn't be late to work anymore and on top of all that he really needed to relieve himself.
Just as Joe was about to take Beyonce out of the crib he bladder failed him and he peed himself. He was mortified, it wouldn't have been so bad if at that exact moment Kesha hadn't yelled out ew as Juju walked by which made him turn and look. Joe was on the verge of tears.
Juju felt bad for his husband but he didn't have time to help him. He could feel a big promotion coming up and his family needed this. The house was more expensive than they thought and with the kids getting older and needing more things it made money really tight.
Kesha was not helping her poor stressed out father at all. Joe was having a whole meltdown in the shower and instead of cleaning his pee she jumped in it. This only made her dad cry more and she was glad when the school bus came. "Urg dad is acting so weird."
Juju came home with that promotion but knew there wouldn't be a celebration for him. Joe had called from the shower crying his eyes out and it took Juju an hour to get him to calm down.
Joe was at the spa, getting some relaxation while Juju took over. His kids brought him joy and he didn't mind their crazy personalities.
Juju had also discovered that his daughter had been skipping out on her homework. As he was cleaning the house for Joe he opened her desk to put some notebooks in them when he saw her homework from the past few weeks. He was so angry with her, he made her do all the dishes in the house.
She thought it was unfair but after she did it she was so worn out that Juju didn't disturb her when he saw her asleep in her room. "Goodnight sweetheart." Juju said as he kissed his daughter on the forehead. 1 down 3 to go.
It took Juju 2 hours to get the 3 toddlers into their beds. Right after he put Tank down he came back for Beyonce only to find her stinky and passed out on the floor. Juju sighed to himself feeling like the worlds worst father before picking her up and taking her upstairs for a bath and sleep.
Bright and early the next morning Kesha was up to play with the toys. Juju wasn't up yet so homework could wait. Kesha lost track of time and ended up missing the bus. She shrugged it off until her father came out of the bathroom around 9 am to see his daughter playing on the floor.
"What are you doing? It's 9 o'clock in the morning Kesha Carr Baca. You missed the bus." Juju yelled angrily. "I know daddy but you said you would help me with my homework but I fell asleep last night and I didn't want to wake you," Kesha said in one breath. Juju soon felt bad for yelling at his daughter because he had told her he would help. They walked downstairs to start the homework right away.
She ended up getting her homework done, all of it, but by then school was over and there just wasn't any point. Juju woke an email to her teacher explaining the situation and the teacher said she would let it go this time.
Juju lay in bed exhausted.
"How was your day?" Joe asked chipper.
"Long, but I am glad you got a break. Did you like the 2 day spa hon?" Juju asked with love in his voice.
"Oh my gosh YES, the only part I didn't like was the taxi." Juju giggled at the hint but he had a surprise up his sleeve for his husband.
The next night after work Juju came home later than usually and as he walked through the door and tossed the keys to his husband, Joe thought he was gonna have a heart attack. Joe runs outside to see a 2017 Land Rover sitting in his driveway. That new bonus was going to good use.
Kesha didn't get what all the fuss was about. They had cars take them places everyday why did everyone suddenly care about a rover or whatever it's called. Kesha shrugged it off before getting back into her game, she almost beat the last level before he dad yelling scared her, now he had to start over.
