Puzzle pieces

Aftermath

Moon's POV

As we all finish Breakfast and play catch up with everyone I hear Ells tell Caesar and Nicky that she wants to show them around town, and of course she does, she hasn't seen Nicky in years, in much longer than Nicky and I have.

"I'm really glad you guys are all here, I think that it happened perfectly you guys coming now, we needed you guys with us. We all miss you!." I make my way to hug Nicky from the back. "You are definitely one of my best friends nicks, I'm so glad I had you guide me all the way to Ells. She's such a dang blessing in my life"

With that Ells makes her way towards us "you girls are some of the most important people in my life, and I love y'all. I'm so glad we're all finally together!" She smiles sweetly and turns around to look at the boys "guys short notice but the three of us are having girls night tonight and yes it's Sunday blah blahhh blahhh but I already emailed Tristan's pre k teacher and pulled him out until Thursday" an immense grin forming on her face

"Wait you can pull Tristan out of school too?" Nicky looks at her astonished

"Duh sis, I'm pretty much one Tristan legal guardians huh bubba?" She winks at Tristan playfully

Giggling Tristan tries winking at her back as he fails miserably and in between giggles he says "aunty Nicky, aunty Ells is like my second mommy, she can do anything mom can, whight (right) mommy?"

"Yes baobei for the most part aunty Ells is like your second mommy." I look back at Ells thankful because she did something I planned on doing after the whole Yi Tan debacle

I think we all need to sit down and just pan out what the hell just happened a while ago. My mind feels so aghhhh for a lack of a better word

First Yi Tan and Di know each other but how? And second Yi Tan is back and wants to be a part of my Tristan's life, third how the hell am I supposed to even make this a plausible conversation for my child... like oh hey baobei this man who you've never met, but is your father wants to be your father now after being gone your whole little life?!...

Oh god how am I even supposed to?!!! And than Dylan and I just told each other I love you after one date! I mean he must have meant it right? he seemed so secure in his statement... oh damn it we just need to ....

"Sweetheart, hey can you hear me?!" I look up startled to see Dylan right next to my face with his hand rubbing circles on my back. Had he been calling me?

"Hey, yeah Di. What's up?" I respond hastily

"Well Ells was asking you about tonight, do you want to go out with the girls? Caesar and I were brainstorming some cool ideas to spend our evening with Tristan, if you do decide to go..." He says concern lingered in his gaze

"Don't worry." He leans in as he whispers softly in my ear. " we'll sit down together after this and just talk about everything, okay?... everything will be fine babe." And with that reassurance I feel a little lighter as he kisses my cheek and make his way over to Tristan.

"Yeah girls we can go out tonight." I say smiling as I look at my best friends "but first we owe Tristan a fun day out, we've been so busy he hasn't even done anything this weekend either

"Yesssssssss" Tristan screams as he runs around the house "I call dibs on the amusement payk (park) but mommy I only want to go with my aunties and my uncle  caesah (Caesar), okay?!" He says with a determined stance

"But why baobei? You don't want to spend time with me and Di?"

"Mommy are you jeawous (jealous)? You know I always see you and Dywan but I nevey (never) see aunty Nicky and uncle Caesar.. I just want to go have fun with them." Tristan says as he runs up to me and hugs me tightly.
