Let's Just Make It(Book I)(Re-Editing)

•Chapter 35•

"Bae, where Devin diap-" Dino's appearing out of nowhere, startled Dana and she quickly pulled down her shirt.

"B-Bae, you alright?" Dino asked, as his eyes went from Dana's stomach back up to her face repeatedly.

While rubbing her hand against her arm, Dana nodded her head slowly, "mhm, I'm fine, now what were you going to ask me?"

"Where Devin diapers at?"

"They're underneath the changing table in his bedroom, you should see them, soon as you walk in his room. Did you check under there?"

"Nah."

"It's there." Dana walked over to the tub, to turn on the shower.

"Come here."

"What?" Dana walked up to Dino, until they were chest to chest.

Dino caressed her arms gently and kissed her on the lips, "I love you." He could tell from the sudden change in her mood that something was wrong. He believed it had a lot to do with Bradlee's death, but he couldn't have been more wrong.

But, what else could it be? She hadn't been the same since they laid him to rest.

Dana gave Dino a sweet smile, "I love you too."

"Meet me downstairs when you done up here." Dino said lastly, as he exited the bathroom.

And that she did. It wasn't even twenty minutes later when Dana finally made her way downstairs.

Dino was on the couch with Dae'sha between his legs, trying to put her hair in what Dana assumed was a ponytail, but the little diva was not satisfied at all.

Meanwhile, Devin was still walking around in his pamper and no shirt on.

"Is that it baby girl?" Dino asked, for like the millionth time. He knew he wasn't going to leave up out of that house until he got it right.

Dae'sha rested her hand atop her forehead, "no daddy, is tight." She whined.

Dana could tell just how much pain her daughter was in from the look on her face alone, "Dino, w-what is...all this?"

"This would've never happened, if you'd just let me drop them off by my mama like I wanted to."

"No, this would've never happened if you knew what you were doing," Dana argued back, as she bent down to pick up Devin.

"Dae'sha, come on, mommy will do your hair for you." Dana called, as she held her hand out for Dae'sha.

The toddler wasted no time jumping to her feet and following her mother.

"So what? Daddy ain't do a good job?"

Without replying, Dae'sha shook her head.

"Dana, can you hurry this up? I was been supposed to be gone twenty minutes ago." Dino checked the time on his watch, he was sure Shazam and G.I. would be calling him in the next five minutes, because of his tardiness.

"If you hadn't have messed up, we both could've been gone twenty minutes ago," Dana said, as she climbed the stairs.

"Dana don't make me come up there."

"Come on," she challenged.

Checking his watch once again, Dino rubbed the top of his head, let out a huge sigh, and leaned back on the couch.

With a bouquet of flowers held tightly in her hands, Keke squatted down in the grass, directly in front of Bradlee's tombstone.
