Meant To Be (Sashay | AU)

Chapter 36 Picnic

"Oh okay. Don't shout mama. It's not nice," Rosie said then got back to her dolls.

Sasha smiled, she has a very caring and sweet daughter, she is truly blessed.

"Your daughter just scolded you," Janel said laughing.

"And it's your fault."

"I know how I can make up for it," Janel said giving Sasha one of her naughty winks.

"Glad you're back to your happy self. I like what you're thinking, but we can't."

"We can't.. what?"

"We're not in Beacon Heights, babe, where Rosie has her room. We're sharing the whole room with the girls."

"See you're the one with a dirty mind," Janel laughed clearly teasing Sasha.

"What? Of course not! I just.."

"You're so guilty. Actually, I was talking about taking you to dinner tonight. Just you and me. But if you want to do something else..." Sasha blushed at her girlfriend's words. It's going to be an exciting evening she thought.

The girls have been busy with the preparations and with catching up that they have not really discussed the current situation of their, up until two days ago, MIA friend. This is about the right time to talk about it since the blonde is in the other car with Janel.

"Who would have thought Janel and Sasha would eventually end up together?" Ashley said to her friends.

"Yeah. And that Sasha's got a 3-year-old daughter now," Troian added.

"I always thought it was going to be Lucy who's gonna have a kid first," Ashley said.

"Why me?" Lucy asked giving Ashley a questioning look.

"Well out of all of us, you have the longest relationship with Ian. And you're finally tying the knot. So yeah. You're on top of my list," Ashley said laughing.

"Can you guys imagine what Sasha's going through now? And what she'd gone through? I'm amazed that she hasn't gone insane yet," Cece said.

"It's crazy just to think about it. Your future husband getting killed, leaving you with a daughter, and being hunted down by unknown people. I'm wondering how she's coping," Ashley added.

"It's Janel," Shay simply said.

"What do you mean, it's Janel?" Lucy asked.

"Well. Janel has always been there for her. Since that day we broke up. Janel has always been by her side. Up until they were at BHU, up until now. Janel supported her and I think Janel is the reason Sasha's still sane," Shay said. She has always thought that Janel is a very important part of Sasha's life. Now they are officially together, Shay couldn't be happier for her ex-girlfriend, turned friend. She's glad that everything worked out fine between them. She has Cece, and Sasha has Janel.

"We're almost there, muffin. Are you excited?" Sasha asked her daughter who looked excitedly at her.

"I am super excited mama. I've got a lot of playmates today."

Sasha looked happily towards her daughter. This is the first time in 6 months that her daughter will really get to have fun. True, there's still the bodyguards following them, but being in Rosewood makes Sasha feels safe and secure.

"Rosie. Look out the window," Janel said.

"Mommy! We're here. We're here. We're here!" Rosie exclaimed in excitement.

"Stay on your seat, Rosie. Mama will come and get you," Sasha said.

Rosie waited excitedly for her mom and when she was allowed to get out of the car, she immediately ran towards the swing shouting for her mommy Janel to come and push her.

"You stay with Rosie. I'll get our things," Sasha said.

"Don't you need help?"

"I can handle it, babe. It's just a blanket and a picnic basket. I'm practically bigger than you," Sasha teased.

"Mean much?" Janel said laughing as she walked off and head towards Rosie.

The other girls just arrived and are now getting out of the car.

"This place brings back memories," Troian said.

"Yeah. I can still remember the countless times we would just go here, have a little picnic and just talk for hours," Lucy said.

"Or when we would seat on those swings and just cry about stuff at school or silly things," Shay added.

"And here we are, some things never really change I think," Troian said smiling at her friends.

"Ladies, let's go?" Sasha shouted and waved, motioning for them to head towards her direction.

"We can see Rosie is already enjoying herself," Shay said to Sasha.

"Yes. Help me with these guys? Let's set up near a shade or something," Sasha said.

"Let's go. We want to make the most of our time together. It might take us another wedding for us to see each other again," Cece said referring to her and Shay's wedding.

"Yeah. Totally," Ashley said laughing and the other girls laughed with her too.
