"And you be safe. Don't drink the water, always take a water bottle to the restaurants." I snorted at my mom words. "What? We can't drink that overseas water, our body isn't made for it."

"Ma," I rested my hands on her shoulders. "I toured the world, remember? I know." She sighed and nodded before grabbing my head before pressing a kiss to my forehead. "I'll definitely visit and we'll definitely be back out before the delivery, okay?"

"I know. You're just so.. grown. It still gets to me sometimes." She stepped back and smiled while holding my arms at a distance. "This is great though. You guys need some you time, just time to be a family. No drama or ex's popping up." Definitely that. "Just because you're a whole country away doesn't mean I don't want my Sunday phone calls still."

I nodded with a hum. "Sunday's are always reserved for you and God, mama. Don't worry about that." I playfully pushed her reading glasses up before glancing at my siblings. "And hey, just because I'm gone doesn't mean you stop working. I expect to hear you on the radio and I expect to see your videos blow. Alright?"

Jay and Aaliyah nodded. "I actually just made my YouTube channel for music videos." Aaliyah said with a smile. "I'm calling it Lyrical Lemonade."

"I have no idea what that means." I mumbled and she nodded.

"Exactly." I gave her a look before pushing her head back slightly. What a weirdo. "You know in London there no football right? Just soccer and rugby."

I sighed with a nod. "Yeah, I gotta watch ESPN on my computer to see my teams. It'll be worth it though. I know this will be good for us."

After hugging my siblings again, I gave my mom the tightest hug and watched them walk off to their cars. "I love you guys!" I called out with a frown. "Be safe!"

They waved and got into their cars before driving away. Man I was gonna miss them.

I shook my head and grabbed the last suitcase from the front door and walked over to the car.

"I can't believe you're leaving me.." Dante mumbled and frowned as I pushed the suitcase into the trunk. "After everything we've been through? Did the last eight years mean nothing to you?"

I slowly looked up at him before playing along. "I know baby.. we just have different paths. It's not you.. it's me." He started to fake cry so I leaned forward to hug him but he pushed me back.

"Don't touch me!"

"But baby.." I pulled him into a hug and held him tightly, my chest rumbling with laughter.

"What the hell?" We both stopped acting and looked up as Rob and his girl stared at us in confusion.

I cleared my throat and pulled back, my shoulders shrugging as he dusted off my shirt. "Ima see you G." He mumbled and I punched his shoulder with a nod.

"Fasho slime. Stay up." I glanced over and we waited for the girls to leave before pulling one another into a another hug. "I'll call you all the time homie."

"We still working out together right? No homo."

I chuckled and patted his back twice before pulling back. "You know it." I stepped back and sighed softly. "I'm gonna miss you.. for real. Even though you live in New York, it feels like you're always here. Or I'm there."

He nodded in agreement. "I know. But we'll be straight. Take care of your family, rejuvenate." I chuckled softly and nodded as he pushed me back slightly. "I'm sure I'll find a reason to fly to London. I'll just stop by to get some scones or something."

"Scones?" I pushed him back. "Get outta here."

"Ready babe?" I turned my gaze to Robyn as she walked back out of our LA home with a backpack on and Dahlia in her arms.

I nodded and pressed a kiss to her cheek, then one to Dahlia's. "Yep, let's go.." I ran a hand through my hair before holding my hand up to Dante. "One more?"

"Let's get it." We did the handshake we started in freshman year, each year adding something new and it was kind of bittersweet. This was my brother, my best friend. Now I'd be in a whole different country.. a whole different time zone.

Once we finished it, I hugged him once more for the road. "Stay up slimeball." I playfully ruffed his twisted hair before opening the door and sliding in but not before saying one last thing. "And also," He looked back at me with his arm around his girl. "The Giants suck, Broncos all day baby!" He laughed and flipped me off as I slid into the car.

"She gonna cry in the car." Rob mumbled and I pouted as I flipped her off, my seat belt pulled on. "Awe babe."

"I'm not gonna cry." I mumbled and wiped my eyes. "I just got dust.." she cooed and leaned over to pull me into a hug. "Babe stop.."

"It's okay to be sensitive, boo. Let it out.. go ahead." I groaned and dropped my head back. I regret this already..

February 20th, Rihanna's birthday
London, England

"Can you hold this for me please? Thank you." I handed Dahlia the flowers and she gasped to herself as she stared at them. "Pretty hm?"

"Mama," I hummed and she held up the flowers to me with a big, four tooth smile. "Ooo."

I cooed and bopped her nose. "That was adorable. Do the exact same thing for Robyn, okay?"

"Rah." She mumbled and I smiled at her way of saying Robyn. "Mama, Rah?" She said in an almost questioning tone.

I nodded. "Yes, for Robyn. It's her birthday today. Come on." I helped her off of the counter and she waddled after me as I carried the tray of food and orange juice to the bedroom.

We didn't get much time to see the house since we got here literally around four in the morning, but that wouldn't stop me from getting her breakfast in bed. After a call with Mel, I found out her favorite spot here and had them deliver her a meal.

The actual cooking part could come when I figured out where to get shit, I was too tired to be out about in these streets with my American ass money.

"Rah!" Dahlia shouted once we walked into the room and I shushed her with a laugh. This really was my daughter man.

I lifted her onto the bed and she dropped next to my fiancée with a cute smile. "Babe," I mumbled and lightly shook her. She groaned into the pillow but when Dahlia copied me by poking her cheek, she opened one eye with an annoyed look. "What the he- oh hi babygirl." Her attitude switched up fast as hell once she saw mini me.

So I get a 'what the hell?' and attitude but she gets- you know what? I was here first. Shaking my head, I watched Dahlia hand her the flowers before clapping her hands. "Awe for me? Thank you so much." She pressed a kiss to her cheek before looking over at me as I pouted. "What?"

"Where's my kiss?" Her eyes rolled in amusement while reaching out to pull me forward, her hand on the side of my neck as she connected our lips. I hummed softly before pulling back and giving her a smile. "Happy birthday with ya old ass."

"I'm not old." She mumbled and I snorted sarcastically before grabbing the tray of breakfast that I moved over to her.

"I got a whole ass thirty year old woman mane, I got a cougar!" I called loudly with a laugh and she eyed me while taking a bite of the toast. "You need some diapers, lady? I can head to the corner store and pick you up some of them jawns if you need me too."

"Shut up." She huffed, letting Dahlia grab the strawberry from her hand. Now if I tried that.. "You not far off nigga, don't play."

"Aye I'll be twenty six in May. I got four years so I got time on my side homegirl." She hummed sarcastically as I pressed a kiss to her cheek. "But I also heard about them dirty thirties so I'm tryna see what's that be like."

"You get on my nerves." She laughed out when I playfully bit her neck before adding a kiss. "Your daughter is right here.. eating up my damn food." I looked down at Dahlia and saw her holding a half eaten strawberry but grabbing eggs with her free hand. Greedy ass lil girl. "Y'all are the same." She mumbled when I snatched a bacon before jumping off the bed.

"I got you something." I said while chewing on the bacon before going back out to the living room where a box sat. I knelt down and opened it to see the puppy staring back at me with no expression. "Ugly ass puppy man." I mumbled to myself with a sigh before taking the dog out.

I had no choice in picking which dog we got since I didn't even want one. So I left it up to her and she picked the ugliest motherfucker bruh.

I lifted him up anyways and carried him into the bedroom where they were.. 'talking' with each other.

"Yeah I like to dip my strawberries in Nutella." Robyn dipped her strawberry into the sauce before eating it and Dahlia babbled incoherently. "Oh you like yours with whipped cream? Smart smart.."

I shook my head with a smile before setting the puppy on the end of the bed and watching him slowly crawl forward. When Rob took notice, she gasped and covered her mouth. "Pepe!" She said and I covered my face. Now I prayed she forgot that goddamn name.. Jesus. "Oh you're so cuuute with your little squishy face."

Dropping on the bed, I leaned back and watched both of my girls play with the puppy like he was actually cute or something. Weirdos.

For the rest of the morning we simply chilled and Robyn finished her food with Dahlia and I helping, not like she needed help but she also couldn't say no when we both gave her the same eyes.

Like mama like daughter.

"I wanna go outside." She mumbled and rubbed her stomach with a groan. She was showing but not to the point where it could legitimately be called a baby bump. More like.. little gut. But those who knew could tell.

"Then let's go outside." I mumbled before leaning down and resting my head on the area just above her stomach. "I don't think they can hear me yet, huh?"

I slid my hand over her stomach with a smile as I spoke anyways. "Happy fourteen weeks baby one and two. Both of you are number one in my eyes though." I felt Rob's fingers slide through my hair and I looked up with a smile before resting my head back down. "I can't wait to meet you guys. I know we have a long ways to go but.. I love you. Maybe you can feel my vibrations or something."

"Vibrations babe?" I shrugged and pressed a kiss to her stomach before raising up to lay beside her. "You're adorable."

I hummed and pecked her lips. "No I'm sexy. What you wanna do today?"

"I wanna go outside.." I nodded slowly as she looked up in thought. "And that's all."

She.. what?

"You just wanna go outside?" She nodded with a smile. "Like, and just stand there or.."

A soft laugh left her lips as she shook her head. "No babe. I wanna walk around and see the city." She wanted to walk around? For her birthday? Well okay..

"It's cold as fuck but aight, whatever you want cougar." I joked and she slapped my shoulder as I raised up. "I'm gonna get this one dressed, let me know when you're ready." I snatched Dahlia up and she giggled as I flew her around the room before going into her bedroom. "We gotta dress you warm today, princess."

I grabbed a onesie and a cute little one piece puffy outfit Robyn had gotten her for her birthday. It was Chanel of course.

After dressing her, I raised her up and cooed at how dope she looked. "You know what we should do?" I said as I sat her up while fixing her jacket. "Let's have a photo shoot!"

I grabbed her hand and she walked with me out of the house to the backyard. Luckily it was just chilly right now and not raining like it was last night. I wasn't about to walk around in some rain, okay?

"Sit here.." I mumbled as I sat her on the wooden steps that led to the deck. I then pulled out my phone and snapped to make her look at me. "Say cheeeese."

She giggled before smiling wide with her face scrunched up. So cute man.

We took a few pictures before she started to get restless and climbed up the deck before walking around in circles. For no reason.. she just walked in circles.

I sat down on the step and went to post the picture just because.

@Y/n: She. Don't. Miss! lil dripped Y/ln, ya know who she get it from 😎


@MForde: Didn't Rob buy her that? Speaking of.. happy birthday to my mfkin bestieeeee. I love you baby booo!

@MForde: Where's your birthday post huh? @Y/n

@Y/n: Up ur ass Mel

@Rihanna: Heeeyy, don't come at my best fren like that or we gon have some problems. And yeah, where's my birthday post hm?

@Y/n: happy. birthday. queen.

@MForde: Sounds fake af.

@Rihanna: Sure does.

@Y/n: Annoying asses 🙄

I left Twitter with a chuckle before opening Instagram and scrolling around the explore page before landing on a video.

"What do you want from GrubHub, Crystal?"

My eyebrows shot up as the girlfriends head whipped to the guy. "What? That's not my name. 'My name is babe, baby, or queen."

I laughed softly at her serious ass face. Oh he was looking to get cut or something. I could never pull that shit with Robyn. My head raised when I heard the sliding door close suddenly.

Or.. could I..

I pocketed my phone then picked Dahlia up and sat her on my lap, pretending like I was playing with her. "Hey you wanna go to a restaurant or like, a cafe?" She asked once she reached me and I shrugged silently, snorting when my daughter yeeted her pacifier for no reason. "Which one babe?" I looked up as she started walking to grab the pacifier.

"Whatever you want, Rihanna." I smirked to myself as I bit my lip to hold in my laugh when she stopped walking. I glanced down, hearing her mumble something under her breath before picking up the pacifier.

She walked back over and handed it to Dahlia. "What do we say?" I questioned and bounced her slightly. "Say thank you, Rihanna."

"Okay I thought I was trippin' the first time, why you calling me that?" I looked up when she gave me a look. "Why are you calling me that?" She repeated.

"What you mean?" I mumbled and cleaned the pacifier before letting Dahlia grab it again, all while trying not to laugh my ass off. "Calling you what?"

Her eyes turned to slits as she tilted her head and raised her hand to her mouth, lightly biting her thumb. It looked like she was trying to solve the worlds hardest problem as while eyeing me. "Mama." I looked down at my daughter as she raised up and pouted with her hands on her stomach. "Ba-Ba."

"I'm hungry too, come on." I raised up and she reached her hand up for me to grab. Just to be a bit more of an ass for the culture, I looked back at my still confused looking fiancée. "Come on Rihanna-"

"Okay stop," she suddenly whined and grabbed my arm. "Are you mad at me? What did I do?" My eyebrows raised when she leaned more into me. Awe she thought- Okay now I felt bad as she frowned and rested her chin on my shoulder. "I was just playing on Twitter.. I don't need a birthday post, everything you did was perfect."

I pouted before wrapping my arm around her. "I'm so soft," I mumbled to myself as I pressed a kiss to her temple. "I was kidding baby. It's a trend on insta or something so I was trying to.." she pulled back and slapped my shoulder, her face now contorted into a scowl. "I was tryna do it."

"You had me thinking I did something-" She slapped my arm again. "You're a dick." She huffed out before starting to walk away but I slid my arm around her waist and held her back to my front before walking-slash-waddling us to the house together.

"Don't be like thaaat." I let go of Dahlia's hand and she walked in front of us before hugging Robyn's legs. "See? We love youuu, I sorry." I added in a babyish voice and she furrowed her eyebrows but leaned into my hold while resting her hands on Dahlia's head.

"You both a bunch of babies." She mumbled with a sigh and I smiled before kissing her neck three times. "All I'm saying is that they," She pointed at her stomach. "Better be like me."

Oh goodness I didn't even think about that part.. "God if you're listening.." I started as I looked up at the sky. "Please give me two boys." Robyn laughed softly before bucking her hips to push me back before lifting up Dahlia and walking away with her. "I'm begging you, lawd!"

"You're jinxing it!" She called out and I waved her off before skipping after them, and hopefully to get some goddamn food.

-

"So Paris, winter wonderland-"

"Don't call it winter wonderland."

I waved her off as I dipped my fries into the ketchup before tossing them into my mouth. "Then what do I call it? It's literally wintery and.. and Five gum chewy feely." She rolled her eyes and I smiled in amusement. She was so done with me. "Help me baby, I'm incompetent and you're thirty now so your big ideas don't reach me."

"Shut up." She mumbled with a chuckle before leaning forward to point at my computer. "It's enchantment, not damn five gum." I hummed and nodded as I looked at the ideas she had sent from some person she knew. I think she was a wedding planner or something.. or the decorator? Were they the same thing? I didn't even know..

"Okay.. so you want these colors exactly?" I questioned and she nodded. "Damn I was about to go get me a ninety dollar black suit at the swapmeet- I'm playing." I said quickly when she gave me a death glare. "Always want me to drop a stack on somethin' damn."

"Well you shouldn't have proposed to a high maintenance girl. Period." She said with a shrug as she snatched one of my fries.

"High pain in my ass." I mumbled under my breath and she hummed before leaning closer to me.

"I'm sorry what?" I gave her a side eye as I shoved another fry into my mouth. "You say something?"

"I said I love you." I said lowly and she leaned closer with raised eyebrows. "I said I love you."

"I love you what?"

I sighed dramatically. "I love you wife." She smiled and grabbed my chin as she pressed a quick kiss to my lips.

"Mm I love you too. So what about a blue suit?"

God this girl. "Suwhoop, get that outta here." Her eyebrows furrowed as she snorted and looked away. "What? I could be a blood."

"Babe you cried watching Coco." She mumbled with her eyes on the screen. "You couldn't be about that life if you wanted too."

"Cap." I mumbled before looking over at the stroller as Dahlia kicked her leg with her eyes closed, her subconscious signal that she was about to wake up soon. "I didn't cry.. I yawned and you happened to look at me two seconds later when the yawn tears came out. It's all about perspective, babe." I said as I grabbed the lemon from my water and put it to Dahlia's lips.

"Y/n shut up." She sighed out as she continued typing at my computer. I watched with a smile as my daughter stuck her tongue out and licked it once which made her eyes fly open. "What are you doing to that girl?" I chuckled and raised it to her hands and she grabbed it before taking a bite this time, the juice actually going into her mouth.

Immediately her face frowned up and I laughed deeply as her whole body jolted before she threw the lemon across the little cafe spot we were at. "Dahlia.." Robyn gasped out but I was too busy laughing. That shit was hilarious. "I'm so sorry.." Rob said the to people that got hit with a flying lemon slice.

I grabbed a napkin and wiped her face as she drooled while trying to lean out of the stroller. "I gotcha babe." I lifted her up and sat her on my lap before letting her eat my fries since I basically made her eat a lemon. 

"You not doing that to my babies." Rob said and I gave her a look.

"Oh but I am. It's a ritual into toddlerhood. Like how I crossed over in my frat, my babies gotta cross over too.. with lemon."

"You're an idiot. This ain't the damn Alphas." I shrugged and beckoned the waitress over since we been chilling in here like it was our own home.

"Hi, can we get the check please?" She nodded and walked off with a smile. "So, birthday lunch.. what's next?"

"More walking." She said as she pulled her wallet out. "I wanna go to Leicester Square." I furrowed my eyebrows and gave her a confused stare. She wanna go to.. lestar what? "You'll see." When the waiter came back, she went to put some.. pounds into the check but I immediately put my hand over hers. "Babe-"

"I know I know, but it's your birthday. Let me be a gentlewoman today, alright?" She rolled her eyes with a smile before letting me hand in my card since I didn't have the actual British currency yet. I should probably hop on that.. "So you actually understand their money and shit?" I questioned as I grabbed the bill with the twenty on it. "How much is it worth? Like, compared to an American twenty?"

"I think it's like.. twenty five or twenty six dollars compared to a twenty note. Something like that." I hummed with a nod. "It's not that hard, I'll help you. Ready?" She said after the waitress gave me my card back.

"Yep. You wanna get back in or walk?" I asked Dahlia and she babbled something but climbed off of my lap so I took that as 'I wanna walk nigga' in baby words.

So we walked out of the little restaurant and, get this, no screaming in sight. I don't know what is was but I loved it. Obviously there was some people taking pictures and others gaping at the fact that Rihanna just walked out, but no one was popping off.

It was exactly what we came out here for.

We continued walking regularly down the street until we came upon a growing crowd and I raised my eyebrows, a smile immediately pulling to my lips when I saw some street dancers.

"I thought you'd like this." Rob said with a smile as she leaned into me.

"But it's your birthday.. we should be doing things you love."

She shrugged. "Well I love seeing you happy."

I draped my arm over her shoulder and pulled her more into me. "I'm happy whenever I'm with you bae." Her head rested on my chest while we watched the dancers do some crazy shit.

"Uh ohhh." My eyebrows raised when the guy on the mic looked around the crowd. "I've just got word that we've got.. we got one of Americans Jabbawockeez here?"

I covered my face with a low groan. "Jesus no." Robyn laughed softly against my chest and I tried to slowly back us up but that only drew attention to us. Shit.

"There she is." I smiled politely, instantly hearing the murmuring as the guy with the mic pointed at me. "Can you show us a few moves, please? I've always wanted to see a live Jabbawockeez performance." Performance? Did this nigga think we were in Vegas or something- jeez.

I ran a hand through my hair before shrugging. "What the hell right?" I mumbled before slowly walking forward to just give a few moves. "Can I see this?" I questioned as I pointed at one of the dancers hats and he nodded before handing it to me.

They then started to play the music and I shook my arms before doing a basic routine with the hat, little throwback hat tricks that was popular as fuck. Adding that with my 'robotic' movements (as people called it) it was smooth as hell.

I then dropped to the floor and started to do a windmill while tossing the hat in between each spin. Another thing I learned courtesy of Zion, aka Cap Jabba.


When I hopped up, everyone was clapping and cheering as I 'bashfully' waved them off. "Oh stop it." I called out playfully as I handed the guy the hat back. I then started to walk away before holding up my hand. "Okay one more."

I pointed at five random people and they all cautiously walked forward. "Don't be scared, I don't bite." I said with a wink before positioning them all to line up with one another. "Okay now do this.." I hunched forward and placed my hands on my knees, they followed. "Okay now.." I playfully started twerking and the crowd laughed. "I'm kidding, I'm kidding. Just stay like that, you all look beautiful."

I slowly backed away and looked at the guy who had the mic before doing a clapping motion and he nodded. "Make some noise everybody! Follow my lead. Clap.. clap.. clap.."

I nodded and kept backing up further, making a small path through the crowd. "Please don't break your neck, babe." Robyn mumbled as I backed past her.

"I don't break necks.." I looked at her with a smirk. "I give it." Her eyes rolled as I pulled my pants up slightly and focused on the line in front of me. It was one more then I was use to but.. I think I could handle it.

With a final exhale, I started forward in a light jog before turning it into a sprint once I was a few meters away. Then I jumped up and felt myself gain a lot of air as I successfully did a side flip, landing just on the other side but it was a close one.

Another round of cheers went off and I waved with a smile before shaking each persons hand. "Thank you for trusting me not to break your back.. thank you for not dying." I joked and waved to the dancers after taking a few pictures with them in the middle of their own show.

"Thank you so much, I look up to you." One said as I signed his hat.

"Oh thanks man. You're really good so keep up the good work, keep dreaming." I gave him another smile before moving back over to my family. "How cool was that, princess?" I said as I looked down at her, laughing when she crouched down and sat on her butt before turning herself in circles, copying my ground moves. "You gonna be a dancer like mama huh?"

She nodded her head and I cooed before lifting her up into my arms. I leaned over and bumped Robyn's shoulder while wiggling my eyebrows. "See? No broken bones."

"I wouldn't know. I covered my eyes." She said lowly I chuckled under my breath. "I don't care how many times you do it.. it still scares the living shit outta me."

"I'll teach you." I said and she gave me a look before turning the stroller and pushing it away from the crowd. "You wanna learn a backflip, side flip, or a front flip?"

"Only flipping I'm doing is omelettes, Y/n. By the way, Melissa is coming over." I dropped my head back with a groan. "Stop that."

"I just got some wine ordered today.. it's gonna be gone when she comes, Rob."

Her eyes raised to mine as she smirked. "Wine? You're drinking wine now?" My eyebrows furrowed as she snorted. "Did you order any beer?" I shook my head and she dropped her head back with a laugh. "Melissa was right."

"About?" I questioned.

"You're becoming me, babe." I smacked my lips and waved her off. "No really.. you are and it's the cutest shit. Like yess, you wanna watch Vanderpump Rules?"

Oh shit.. "What? No I don't wanna watch that reality bullshit, hell no." She laughed and I glanced over to see if she was on to me. It didn't look like she was.. but why would she bring up that show?

"It's funny as hell though." She said with a smirk as she glanced at me and I hummed to myself. Oh.. I know.

"Mel don't drink it all!" I huffed out as she pouted herself another glass of my wine. "You always do this."

"Stop being a little bitch." She teased and took a long sip. "Robyn hurry up!"

I watched my girl walk out in a new outfit, the sun now down. They planned to go do karaoke and have dinner or something to cap off her birthday. This was probably one of her most laid back birthdays ever and, as much as I tried to make it special, I knew she was about that fast life.

The parties and the turn up, it was her thirtieth. I kind of.. felt bad? Like I got her breakfast, a puppy, and some other gifts but it didn't feel enough to me. It always felt like I could do more for her, I don't know. I suck at gift giving and I try my best but what do you give someone that has everything?

"Hey," I snapped out of my thoughts and saw Melissa gone but Rob propping herself up on the counter I was leaned against. "What you thinking about so hard hm?"

"Um.." I sighed and slid between her legs, my arms circling her waist. "Was this a good day to you?" Her eyebrows furrowed so I rephrased myself. "I mean, I know you usually go all out for your birthdays. I feel like I didn't do enough or-"

"Spend enough?" She questioned with raised eyebrows and I nodded softly. "What did I tell you for Christmas, babe? You always tailor to everything I want.. you're meaningful and thoughtful and I love that about you." I smiled as she cupped my face and made me hold her gaze. "You're the balance I need in life, stop doubting yourself. Today was amazing."

"You sure?" I questioned and she tilted her head while giving me a bored look. "I just want you to have the best days everyday, you deserve it."

Her lips pulled into a smile as she slid her arms around my shoulders and pulled me into a hug. "And this was the best day, you know I don't hold shit back so if it wasn't.. I'd tell ya ass." I chuckled, knowing that was true. "I love you."

"I love you too, baby. Kiss." She leaned forward and pecked my lips softly. "How long will you be out tonight?"

She hummed. "Not too long. Probably til ten or eleven." I nodded and helped her off of the counter. "Call me if you need anything or if you want me to bring something back."

"Just bring your fine ass back, that's all I need." She smirked as I smacked her ass when she walked past me.

"Gross." I looked over at Mel as she sat her empty glass on my counter. "Just get married already my.. favorite couple." She fawned out and I gave her a look, knowing what she really wanted so I grabbed the wine bottle and slowly slid it over to her. She smiled immediately. "Thank you bestie."

"Mhm." I hummed sarcastically. "Take care of my fiancée now."

She waved me off. "I been taking care of she since we was fifteen."

"Thirteen bitch." Rob countered as she grabbed her purse. "Don't lump me with ya old ass."

"Two years only Robyn, you thirty now. We basically the same age." I laughed to myself as the best friends continued to bicker with one another while walking out of the house.

"Still, you a whole two years older- bye babe, kiss Dahlia night for me! -So you still grayer bitch." I waved before shaking my head and locking the door behind them.

"Lia!" Seconds later, my daughter came walking around the corner in her cute pajamas with a toy truck in her hand. "You want some cheesecake?"

"Mmm." She hummed out immediately and walked over to me with a nod. I cut us both a slice before nodding her to follow me to the bedroom. "We're gonna eat cheese cake and watch Vanderpump Rules. You may not get it but this show is hilarious."

She stared up at me with the cutest oblivious smile as we rounded into my bedroom. I closed the door behind me and turned, only to see that damn puppy on the bed. I huffed and set the cheesecake down before moving to lift him up.. then I felt wetness on my hands. "Ew!" I dropped him back on the bed and saw the large wet spot under him. My fists clenched as I groaned deeply, a wave of disgust hitting me. "Pepe!"
