One week later

Kelly POV

"Did he call yet?" she shook her head. "No text either?"
"No."
"Mommy I'm hungry." Alana said.
"Kelly you got any snacks?"
"Yeah, she can have some cookies."
"Those my cookies."
"Titan you need to learn to share."
"But that's my favorite ones."
"Hush, I can get you some more later."
"Thank you KK."
"No problem sweetie."
"Kelly can I talk to you?"
"Brittany now isn't the best ti-"
"It's really important."
I made sure the kids were good and I led her outside. "What's up?"
"I messed up."

Solange POV

"Dre I can't do this."
"We have to. She would want this."
"That man just woke up not too long ago."
"It's been a week and we don't have a choice."
"What about the kids?"
"They'll be fine."
"I can't."
"Then I will." He opened the door to Jay watching tv. "Hey man."
"Where is my wife?"
"She's-"
"Tired."
"Joseph!"
"She technically is."
"She's at home?"
"No, she's at my house resting."
"Well what happened? Cortez still alive? I haven't heard from y'all in a while."
I shook my head, "It's over. Him or his family won't be a problem anymore. Y'all are safe now."
"Well the doctor said I can go home today."
"That's good."
"Where's Ky's party?"
"I think Bey just wanted to have it at your house. You know something small with just family."
"Alright, so are y'all taking me home or do I need to call my mom?"
"I called your mom last night and she said she'd be up here later."
"Okay, I'll catch y'all later then."

Later that day we got the kids and took them to Jay and Bey's house for Kyle's party. They were so excited to see their daddy that they didn't even realize Bey wasn't there. They played with their cousins while the adults sat around and talked. I stepped outside to make a phone call but was interrupted.
"Hey Solange have you heard from Bey?" Kelly asked.
"Yeah we were with her last night."
"I know and she said that she'd be here for Ky's party last time we talked."
"Well you know she's a little worn out with everything going on."
"Yeah, how is she?"
"Uh she good. You know just under the weather."
"That's weird. She wouldn't let some little sickness make her miss her baby's party."
"Knowing her, she'll make it up to him."
"When you see her, tell her to call me."
"I will."
She went back into the house but then my brother came out, "You call yet?"
"I was about to."
"Everybody's inside."
I decided to FaceTime her because my mom said that she'd been up for a while. "Bey!"

"Girl why is you screaming this early?""It's 5:30 in the afternoon

"Girl why is you screaming this early?"
"It's 5:30 in the afternoon."
"Whatever."
"BB you good?"
"Yes nigga! Now why are y'all calling me?"
"Uhm, you know what today is?"
She looked to the side, "December 11th."
"Where are you supposed to be?"
"..... At home? But these sheets don't look familiar."
"Bey what is the last thing you remember?"
"Making a drop for daddy."
I looked at my brother, "Well-"
"BB you're at Piaget's house. Mama is in the living room."
"Her house?"
"Yeah, she moved out. Just go in there and talk to her."
"Where are y'all?"
"We're at a birthday party."
"Why y'all didn't invite me?"
"You were sleep Bey." I spoke up. "Mama said to let you get your rest. We'll bring you some ice cream back. But go talk to her and we should be back in a few hours."
"Okay, love y'all."
