Daddy walks over. Quincy Jr.: *confused* But Byron’s in Britechester. He came to say goodbye to us before he left. Prosperity: It’s not Byron’s baby, daddy. Quincy Jr.: What the heck do you mean, Peri? Alida: Whose baby is it? Prosperity: It – it’s just not Byron’s. Quincy Jr.: *let down* I can’t deal with…
After getting off the phone with Peri, Alida greets her birthday guests…including her foster sister, Claudia, and Claudia’s husband, Theo. But the party doesn’t get started until Michelle arrives. Alida: There you are! Long time no see. Alida gives Michelle a big hug. Michelle: I know…I’m sorry. Getting this stylist business off the ground is…
I feel in color. It’s something that’s been a part of me since I can remember. But what does it mean? When most people feel upset, their brains might dredge up the word “sad.” My mind doesn’t work that way. If I feel a deep emotion, I associate it with a color…not a word. I…
It’s “Sun”-day and Q’s birthday, but there isn’t much room for celebrating this morning, because today is also the day that we say goodbye to my mother. Q does manage to treat himself to a new birthday hairstyle, though. It’s the first time I’ve seen him without locks. Everyone gathers in the kitchen dressed for…
I’m still exhausted, waking up after an emotionally challenging night. I believe I even heard Q crying in his sleep a few times. I jump in the shower, trying my best to get myself together for Merit’s birthday party today. Q is in the kitchen making Merit’s birthday cake when I finish my shower. I…
Realizing that we’ve been up all night and it’s technically the next day…we decide it’s time to age Merit up. Merit becomes a toddler with the Angelic Aspiration. Q takes some time to help him take his first steps. Quincy: Okay big guy…it’s time for bed. Q picks Merit up and takes him to his…
An urgent need to pee wakes me up way too early in the morning. Then to top it off…the toilet breaks. Right as I bend down and attempt to fix it, I begin to feel contractions… I immediately return to the bedroom to tell Q… Alida: Q…wake up! The baby’s coming… Q wakes up in…
It’s Peri’s birthday. Since Q is a much better cook than I am, he takes on the task of baking her a cake. I’m starting to feel the effects of the baby’s weight on my back anyway. The last thing I want to do is stand around trying to bake something. Peri joins us in…
Q is up, as usual, ready for his morning jog. When he returns home…he decides to try his hand at making me a birthday cake. Everyone gathers in the kitchen. It’s time for me to blow out my candles and age up to an adult. I’m older, but it doesn’t feel much different. Now that…
Q is up before me the next morning as usual. Rather than wait for him to finish up his shower…I decide to undress and join him. After we’re dressed and ready for the day…we join Alice and Q Sr. in the kitchen to celebrate Peri’s birthday. I help her blow out her candles and she…
