"Ximora.." Jaelen groaned as he laid back on the bed.
"Just answer the question okay please don't play with me right now" she said.
He shook his head "Yes Ximora.."
"Okay next question.. this one's a little tricky. would you still be with me if I was a toad?"
He blew out a breath "Yes"
"Even if I gave you warts?"
"Ximora, you gon go cook?"
She laughed as she got up.
"This is not the fifties"
"You offered to coo- okay Mora" he chuckled.
"Am I annoying you?" She asked getting out the bed.
"Nah where you going?" He scrunched up his face.
"You seem bothered.." she said feeling herself about to cry.
He sighed and pulled her to him. Since Ximora's doctors appointment, she'd been more emotional and easily cried about everything.
"I'm not baby, you wanna just order food?"
She shook her head and wiped her face. "No, I'm gonna cook"
Before she could get up, he pulled her back.
"Wait I wanted to ask if you wanted to go outta town wimme.." he said.
She nodded "Yea, like Atlanta? Ouu or Miami?"
"Nah baby, St. Lucia" he said.
"When?" She asked furrowing her eyebrows.
"Tomorrow" he told her.
"For my birthday?" She smiled, causing him to nod.
"I would love to but I don't have a passport, and what about KJ?"
"I got you a passport.. and Jade agreed to watch KJ while we're gone" he smiled.
"How you get me one? I didn't apply-"
"Just know you have one now" he chuckled.
"I have to get things to wear Jae, I don't have-"
"Jade bought you hella shit, she bringing it by in a few for you to pick through" he told her.
She playfully rolled her eyes "Oh you just got everything figure out"
"And do" he said rolling his neck.

"You having fun?" Jaelen asked as Ximora got out the pool.
She nodded and took a towel from him.
"Go get dressed for dinner" he told her.
Today was her birthday, and he was taking her out to eat.
"Baby.. do you like this?" She asked coming out the bathroom.
"Yea baby you look good" he smiled, causing her to smile.
Soon the two were ready, and they headed out.
"This is so nice Jaeeee" Ximora smiled as she sat down across from him.
"I'm glad you like it, they should be out wit our food soon. But ion wanna wait to do this" he said standing up.
She looked at him in confusion as he pulled out a box.
"I'm not proposing" he laughed seeing her face change.
"You mine and I been yours, but I feel like I ain ever ask you to be my girlfriend officially." He said.
"So will you be my girl?" He asked pulling out the rings.
"Aww yes" she smiled holding out her hand.
Once he placed it on her hand, "You like it?"
"Hi sir, are you all ready?" The waitress asked.
Jaelen nodded "Yea bring all the food now, thank you"
"I love this" she smiled staring at the band on her hand.
"Like it's not 'traditional' and it's so shinyyy" she said.
"The plan is to add onto it witcho wedding ring" he told her.
"Wedding?"
"Mhm.. if you wasn't eighteen.. well nineteen I would've proposed" he said.
"So how old you want me to be?"
He shrugged "It's whenever you ready"
"You're ready?" She asked in shock.
"Yea, a nigga knows when they found the right girl and we know if we want to marry them. I know imma marry you" he told her.
She cut into his salmon and took a piece.
"Mmm this is so good"
He eyed her as she took some more.
"What about kids?" She asked.
He cleared his throat.
"It's okay, we can talk about it" she assured him.
"I wanted four" he told her.
"That's a lot" she laughed.
He nodded "I like big families"
"I'm sorry-"
"Youn gotta apologize for shit that's not your fault" he said cutting her off.
"I wanted two" she told him. "The gender didn't matter, I just wanted two"
He nodded "We could still try"
"I don't know what if I get pregnant and we lose them"
"Ain she said surrogacy?"
"That's expensi-" she cut herself realizing who she was talking to.
"We could try that.. honestly I'm not even ready for kids right now tho. KJ is enough" she told him.
"Fasho.. I ain never spend this much money" he said causing her to laugh.
"You do that to yourself.. she don't need allat anyways"
"Yea she do" he shook his head and laughed.
"I love you" she said.
"I love you too" he nodded.
