👻 It's Spooky Day! 🎃 That's Kieran up top dressed as a skeleton, and Kamil dressed as Yoda.
Kasia decided to dress up as a princess, Jonah as a pirate captain, and mummy Deanna as a fairy.
I even bothered to decorate the front of the house! You could show even a little bit of interest in all my hard work, random jogger dude… 🙄
Aaaaand of course they spend the morning watching their mum play Density Effect. What better way to celebrate Spooky Day? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Kamil: "Spooky, you will be. Scare all the neighbourhood children, you will!"

Midnight Swim (The Lost Girls and David)
The water was pitch around his figure. It gulped him up like a black hole, or even a dark shadow during the bright summer days in Santa Carla, perhaps. Sam knew that if his brother Michael had ever found out Sam snuck out to go swimming in the swimming holes just outside town, he would most likely shit a brick and snitch to Lucy.
Not that Lucy would really listen anyways, she had a horrible habit of being indecisive and not knowing who to believe or who to trust. So, if Sam and Michael came bounding down the stairs and throwing fingers at eachother, she would most likely freeze and just stutter.
But, Sam didn't care about that at the moment. Instead, he was focused on the water, and how 𝘯𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘭𝘺 quiet it was.
𝘕𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘭𝘺.
The sound of loud rap music boomed just across the deserted hill where he was swimming, and he could hear the sounds of laughter and what sounded like...screaming? Although now it was much quieter than how it had been just a few minutes ago. He had never heard so much screaming and yelling in his life, but he didn't really question, nor did he care on what was going on.
But then the rap music got turned off suddenly, but the heavy bass still lingered in the air. As for the screaming, he couldn't hear a single thing now. Sam tilted his head back into the water, still trying to be quiet and not attract attention just incase the teenage assholes were still there.
The water splashed when he kicked the water and floated onto his back, grunting loudly and swinging his arms, mimicking a snow angel. The water ran through his fingertips and his toes, wrapping him up in a secure position where no one could seemingly hurt him. He giggled and scrunched his eyes shut. Kicking the water lightly, not too loud and not completely silent, before a loud shudder came past his lips. Sam's toes lightly twitched, the water seeming to drop several degrees all of a sudden, which slightly concerned him but also made him incredibly agitated.
He shivered, rolling up slightly and chucking the pitch black water with his fists. Just as he was about to stand up and move to a warmer spot, his heart skipped several beats and his dark grey eyes then widened into two saucers, the water surrounding him now eerily quiet as well, as he didn't 𝘥𝘢𝘳𝘦 move.
5 silouhettes tittered on the hill, loud jewelry shaking in tune. 4 girls and one guy, who awfully resembled David, were standing over the hill and were giggling amongst themselves. Two of the girls stood at the back, and had their arms interlocked, their hair tied up. One of the other girls had an arm slung around the man, who's hair was coated in something dark and liquid-y. As for the last chick there, who Sam had assumed to be the leader, was at the front of the group with her arms folded across her chest as she flitted gracefully across the sand.
"Yeah! Come on, Davey! Surely you would like to join us, huh, baby?" One of the girls loudly chirped, and Sammy didn't fail to catch onto her dangerously thick accent. It sounded southern, but also northern at the same time. Either way, it still caught him in a temporary trance. The man, Davey, turned and scowled at the girl before his face broke into a warm grin. "Now, now, Bell." he replied cooly.
Sammy's heart sped up.
It was him. It was David.
But, wasn't he dead? Or did... the antlers looked kinda funny when they impaled him, but also, he knew that he had to be dead. They burned his body and they made sure to get rid of him!
But, alas, there he was, and he had new people with him.
Sam the began to breathe heavily, his throat now burning and dry, and his mouth felt as if it had cotton in it. David looked different now. His mullet was gone, and was now trimmed neatly on top of his head. His clothes were a bit different too, but the memorable trench coat and spurs stayed on nonetheless.
As for the girls, who Sam had never seen before, had different colors on. Two of them had bright, vibrant colors, one was dressed in all black, and the one in the front just had a bright, golden coat on her that fit herself perfectly.
Sam shivered and he very slowly stood up. His eyes never left the group that was chirping and softly giggling, one of the girls in the back hopping onto David, wrapping her arms around his shoulders and smiling brightly. Sam turned his head to the other side but his eyes still never left them.
"Could you and Kamille come to the arcade with us? Crystal doesn't wanna hang for a while." the little pixie pouted, still planted onto David like a little koala. "Leave him be, Bell. He seems tired." one of the girls said, who Sam assumed to be Crystal. David turned and smirked at Crystal, "Thanks for looking into my mind, Ma." his silky voice erupted. Bell and the other faerie beside her then threw their head back in sync and their cherubesque laughter followed the group like the smell of burning flesh did.
His eyes burned, tears pooling in his doe eyes and his nose stinging. The smell was now nearly unbearable. His guts started churning and his muscles were begging him to get up and flee the area, to let his legs carry him wherever they wish.
But, he couldn't move. Instead, he watched as the silent leader with the stoic face then disappeared into the darkness, followed by David and the two pixie-like girls, and Crystal, who had seemed to be only a floating head since her outfit was so dark.
The wind then, like a bomb going off, exploded and blew right into Sam's face, sand and dirt flying onto his wet skin and drenched hair. Yelping, he flew sideways and landed with a loud splash into the water once more.
Sam's head bobbed up and down in the water and he then spat out a mouthful of water, loud, sputtering gasps leaving him. His arms flailed a couple of times before he then shot up like a bullet and his legs then moved on pure instinct, adrenaline filling his veins and sending him sprinting towards town.

Chapter 15
On this light rainy Thursday, everyone in Arielle’s circle has something going on today. Vera has been busy planning a meet up with both Deshaun and Canaan in the weeks to come. Sotira and Salice are working on a surprise baby shower for their closest and dearest friend. Arielle and Kamil both being left out of the loop purposely is exactly what the girls wanted. With very few people knowing about the surprise shower will make this event so much more special when that time comes. Khayman, Kamil and a few of his coworkers are loading up the moving trucks finalizing today as their last day in Kamil’s apartment.
Today a new journey begins for Elle and Kam as a couple and soon to be famil in their new place to call home. Arielle stayed inside to finished packing and taping boxes shut and cleaning up the apartment altogether. The men were going back and forth from the apartment and the truck, getting their hands dirty.
Arielle’s mixed feelings on the big move sparked some major concern in Kam, just as she expected. Moving for anyone is a big step and a big change that can take some time getting used to. However the day has come for change, leaving little room for second thoughts and twenty questions of what/when/how/why.
“How much more y’all got Kam?” Terrence spoke, handing off the mattress to two other guys standing in the back of the truck.
Looking around the truck and counting to himself, Kam wiped items off of his mental checklist. Just to be on the safe side, Kam headed back to the apartment to see how much more is left. Walking through the front door Kam was stunned to see not a box or container in sight. The living room, patio, and kitchen have all been cleared out showcasing just how much has been done.
“Baby!?” He called out, heading down the hall towards the bedroom. Kam found Arielle standing beside the window with a picture frame in her hand surrounded by an empty room.
“What’s wrong now?” He asked gently.
Sighing deeply, Ari turned around and shrugged her shoulders. Deep down inside she knows that she’s not ready to leave and Kam knows that too. He took large steps over to the window and engulfed her in a warm hug. Arielle shed some tears she’s been holding back since the packing began.
“It’ll be okay. We got the new place waiting for us to make new memories in. You’re almost done with school, the baby will be here in a few short months, and we’re in this together.” Kam preached softly, feeling his own emotions flip flop in this very moment.
“I’m just scared. There’s so much going on and I don’t know how to manage everything without feeling overwhelmed. I’m happy about our new home I promise you I am, I’m just scared.” Arielle’s confession opens up a whole new can of worms on top what’s already going on. Without a doubt Kam will do whatever he can to keep her calm but there’s only so much he can control. The rest is up to Arielle and whether she wants to put herself through unnecessary stress.
Without another word, Kam prolonged their intimate moment before getting a move on it. Now that everything is packed and the apartment is cleaned, it’s time to say goodbye. Grabbing the cleaning supplies, the keys, and some leftover unopened mail, Kamil followed Arielle outside into the hallway.
“You want to do the honors?” He questioned giving his girl a toothy smile that made her knees weak.
Arielle took one of the keys to lock the door, descending the steps right after. While Arielle got situated in the car, Kamil rounded up the boys for a quick talk.
“Khayman you drive my car behind these guys who are driving the truck. I’ll drive Arielle’s car in the front so y’all don’t get lost. Cool?”
With each man in agreement, Kam set the bucket of cleaning supplies in the truck and brought the doors down. While the guys locked up the truck, Khayman went over to Kam’s car to start up the engine. Heading over to Arielle’s car, Kam climbed in the front seat and got the car running.
“You have to drop the keys off right?” Elle quizzed, texting her dad and the girls.
“Yeah that’s where I’m headed right now. Put that seat belt on.” He sternly advised, now driving over to the rental office for one last visit.
Ari vowed to herself to remain silent on this trip over to the new apartment. The drive takes about 35 minutes from their current location allowing her more time to think. Ari’s not big on explanations especially when her emotions are the topic of discussion. Because she is so emotional and doesn't know just yet how to channel her feelings into words, conversation can be brutal. There tends to be a lot of silence on her end and boy oh boy does that piss off Kamil. And it's not to say that Arielle doesn't care, because she does, it's just that she has some improvements to make.
“Why has that girl been calling you so much?” The attitude and the level of aggression in her tone was enough to peak Kam’s interest.
Kam got caught at a light giving him time to turn to his right and deliver his signature look.
“Don't start girl. This is not the time to have this conversation.”
“Excuse me for asking a simple question. What have you got to hide? I didn't ask for her social security number. What I want to know is why does she keep calling you..repeatedly and at all times of the day?”
Arielle was quick with a snappy comeback, no surprise there.
Breathing deeply through his nostrils, Kam tapped on the gas pedal until the green light shined in his face. The energy is off and so is their desire to be in each other's presence but today is a big day. Arielle knows this conversation can wait for a less stressful time. And Kamil knows he should be truthful to prevent any further damage to this day.
Neither party spoke for the remaining duration of this short road trip. Just silence and the engine blending together to create noise.
“How did you find out before I did?!” Vera shouted with a passion. Everyone down the hall from her office could hear just about the entire conversation she was having with Deshaun.
Getting up from her chair Vera skedaddled over to her door to put a wall between her office and the rest of the floor. Running back to her seat, Vera picked up the phone to carry on with her call.
“She confided in me V. She's my daughter just as much as she is yours. Are you jealous or something?” Deshaun proposed, not knowing he just started a fight he might not win.
“Jealous? Of what? We are both of Arielle's parents Deshaun. There is no competition but no I'm not jealous that she disclosed to you first that she was pregnant. I'm just confused but that's besides the point! Don't you ever question me like that again. That right there..those smart ass remarks are part of the reason we never worked out. You can't ever put your childish ways aside and be an adult.”
Deshaun was a little taken back by Vera’s forthcoming information but not too much. He always knew that deep down he and his ex-wife would exchange some hurtful words but he didn't think today would be that day.
“Look I didn't answer your call to discuss the past. I'm only talking to you to find out what we can do to help our daughter get through the remainder of her pregnancy happy and healthy. Nothing more, nothing less.” He finished his short speech with a signature line Vera hated to hear.
Deshaun’s smart mouth used to get him in some deep waters back in the day. Now that he's older and has more wisdom and life experience, he's settled down tremendously. If there's any one person that can attest to the change Deshaun has made it's Vera. Even though she feels a little anger towards her ex-husband she can't deny that he is a different man. This conversation is strictly Arielle related, sadly the topic was swayed.
“I got to go back to work but let me know if you find out anything. If something goes wrong I need to be there for her. She will always come first V. Before our past, present and future relationship, Arielle is our number one priority. And soon her baby will be hers. We can fight and argue all we want but when it comes to Arielle's well-being, she's first. We’ll talk soon.”
Vera said her farewell and set the phone on her desk. Yet again, Vera has something to make up for with another beloved man in her daughter's life.
SOTIRA
“Yo Lisa! I need that box of fabric in here to finish this blanket!” I yelled over my shoulder quite loudly. The approaching footsteps spooked me but I'm too focused on knitting this blanket for my god baby. At first I thought about ordering this sage green baby quilt I saw online. Although, Lisa brought it to my attention that Arielle would appreciate a much more sentimental gift. And that is what lead me to what I'm currently working on.
“Here T. Shit..I didn't realize how far you'd gotten since two days ago. You think she’ll like the color? You know she's having a boy right?” Lisa griped, setting the box of extra fabric at my feet.
Giving her a nasty look to her back I tossed my project on the ottoman to rethink this gift. I knew my god baby had been identified as a boy but the fact went over my head the deeper I got into knitting.
“What the fuck am I to do with this now? I can’t give Elle this blanket. This looks likes it should be for a little girl. Lisa, don’t leave me hanging like this.” My complaint didn’t seem to move Salice and her will to help me out in my time of need.
With a flip of her hair Lisa sunk deeper into the love seat just giving the quilt some eye attention. I couldn’t tell whether she was into my work or deep in thought but I need some kind of advice from her high yellow ass.
“T..just make a new one. You still have plenty of time to restart and finish a new blanket. No one but me knows about this, stop stressing. You’re gonna have grey hairs if you keep frowning like that.” Salice proposed, cracking a joke to lighten the mood.
Rolling my eyes so heavily I thought they’d get stuck, I jogged down the hall to the back room. I snatched up my car keys, slid my feet into the nearest pair of shoes and snatched up my phone.
“Let’s go!” I yelled walking back into the room to lock eyes with Lisa.
She was giving me this stupid look and the longer I gave her my attention, the annoyed I became.
“That means now and we gotta go meet the lovebirds at their new spot. Arielle said she wanted an extra set of hands so get up!”
Lisa got up off her ass and scrambled around my apartment to get her things so we could be on our way to see Arielle. By the time we get one leg in the car, Elle will be calling to ask where we are. Bet.
“Come on..why are y’all so rough with everything? We ain't rich. Meaning this furniture and the rest of our belongings can't be replaced so easily. Be careful.” Arielle griped with heavy attitude.
So much time and energy has been put into unpacking the boxes and settling into the new apartment. Sweat, tears, anger, and laughter. That's everything poured into the last four hours of today. The guys have been moving and removing furniture because Arielle keeps changing her mind about the layout. One minute she liked the setup and the next she had a new vision in mind.
Kam understood the constant change and Khayman did too but as for the others they don't have a clue as to what's going on. This poor girl is beyond tired but work has to be done and Elle doesn't quit. No she's a bull and she will get shit done even at six months pregnant.
“Chill mama I got this. Chill!” Kamil stressed, backing away down the hall to the bedroom with one of his buddies helping push the mattress.
Smacking her teeth out of instinct Arielle stepped out onto the balcony to breathe the fresh air brought in by the rain. As the minutes passed the rain seemed to pour down harder producing a full on storm. The sky is covered in dark clouds with flashes of lightning popping up every now and then.
“Forfeit this cold war..It's not yours anymore..I'm done, I'm done...How rightly you were loved...Tell me how to breathe without your touch..I'm done, I'm done, I'm done.”
The depressing weather put Arielle in a mood and music is the only escape she has at the moment. The men are handling the heavy lifting which is working in Ari’s favor anyhow. While they're busting their asses, Arielle has a chance to relax and wind down as if she hasn’t been doing that most of the day.
“Don't go chasing waterfalls...Please stick to the rivers and the lakes that you're used to..”
Sotira and Salice entered the apartment witnessing a slight tornado of chaos going about. They noticed the men slaving, breaking their backs to move furniture and box after box. Afterward the girls spotted their friend standing on the terrace in the rain with not a care in the world for her surroundings. T shot Lisa a glance before sauntering over to Arielle's location.
“I know you aren't hoping to catch something with my god baby trying to grow in that tummy of yours.” T snapped with attitude.
Arielle turned her head with a wide grin spreading across her face. “Of course not. What kind of person you think I am?” She retorted sassily.
Lisa walked past Sotira and engulfed her friend in a tight hug in a way that wouldn't hurt the baby.
“Your weird ass would be out in the rain while those men are doing all the work! What's going on?” Salice asked skeptically.
The girls took a seat to sit back and take in the weather and view.
“I'm happy about the change but I'm scared as hell. This is the biggest step Kam and I have ever made as a couple and as individuals. This baby is growing inside of me every day, changes are being made left and right, my relationship is taking on new heights, I got school and work, and I have family drama. I'm stressed but Kam’s been helping me keep my shit together. I don't know how much more I can take though.” Elle explained.
Taking a quick breath Arielle buttoned up her cardigan due to a draft coming in. Neither girl found a mind settling, quick response that Arielle hoped for so the vibe is awkward in a sense.
“You always told me that change is good and it's gonna happen no matter who likes it. And that's what you're forgetting. Sweetie, this change in your life is a blessing but you don't see it yet. Being a mom at this age or older will never be easy. But because you are young and you're still trying to figure life out the odds will be more likely to be against you. But baby girl you got this in the bag. You have a ton of support behind you Elle just open your eyes.” Sotira revealed truthfully.
“She's right Elle. You have us, Kamil, your sister, my mom, your dad and your abuelita. We won't let you fail or kill yourself because of stress. We’re your family and we love you no matter what. Just breathe and enjoy everyday for what it brings.”
All it takes to bring tears out of Arielle is words of truth and she's crying a river right now.
“We done made the young mommy cry. Look what you did T.” Lisa stuck her tongue out at Sotira and comforted a sad Arielle with a side hug.
“Shut up Lisa. I'm just emotional and I know you're both very much right. I love you guys so much and I thank you for everything. Let's go help these fools.” Arielle’s sniffles flared up for no apparent reason but the minute Kamil was in sight, her tears settled.
Kam was standing with his hand out and a gentle smile tugging at his lips. “Come tell me what you think.”
“I'm scared to see what you've turned our new home into.” Elle showcased a slight smirk and followed behind Kamil inside with the girls in tow. The four friends were lined up one behind the other drinking in the view.
Kamil has placed every piece of furniture and decor in the right spot knowing he'd win more than brownie points with Arielle. Their living room was a perfect blend of grey and cream with small accents of purple of black. Kam even swapped his old couch for the new massive lounge that Arielle has been asking for. At least ten to twelve people can fit on the couch at one time.
“Kam..you got the couch..how the fuck..” Elle chuckled airily while walking into the kitchen and throughout the remainder of the apartment.
“Yo, you think she likes it?” One of Kam’s boys whispered, leaning on the countertop.
“Man..I don't know. We’ll find out soon. What y’all think?”
The gang erupted in soft chatter discussing the details of the new apartment and how everything is set up. The girls were fawning over the kitchen while the boys were too busy drooling over the entertainment center. Kam splurged and bought a massive 65” tv. Kamil and Arielle both agreed on a tight budget for new furniture and decor being that the baby is on the way.
“My nigga how big is this tv?!” Khayman’s outburst earned him a kick in the leg and Arielle's re-entry into the room.
Playful argument broke out and filled the room with laughter and all kinds of energy. This gloomy day is turning into something quite wonderful for everyone.
“We still have one key ingredient missing and we can't buy this one. I love the place but it's not complete yet and I-”
“He’ll be here after the semester is done. We've gone this long already so I know we can wait a little while longer. Don't rush now that the finish line is near. Calm that ass down.” Kam encouraged. Throwing his weight down on the bed he turned the projector on via remote.
“Let me guess..you want to test out how the movies look?” Ari questioned with sass.
“Damn right. You know how much this shit cost? Best believe if it doesn't work the way it should I'll take it back tomorrow and get a new one.”
The best way to end this long, rainy day is with a good movie playing loudly for the neighbors to here. Their first night in a new home with many other nights to come. Let's hope they don't tear each other's heads off.

They settle into the new house very quickly. The tots love their play room, and Deanna spends a lot of time relaxing in her rocking chair, indulging her new knitting hobby.
Just ignore the fact that you can see the swing isn't attached to anything in that screenshot. X)
They got a hedgehog pet named Pankhurst. I have no idea how long she'll survive for. ^^;
The kids playing Density Effect is such a mood right now. 👀
Inea dropped by, and autonomously helped Justin and Jonah with their homework. What a good bean!
And the triplets are working SUPER hard on their skills. It'll be time to age them up soon!

While we wait for Arnav's babies to be born, here are a few random pics. ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ
The triplets studying hard. Such good babies!
I started to grow really bored of Deanna's Health Food Nut Lifestyle, so I've been making her eat regular food. She's tense and stressed out all the time because of it. 😅
Dang, Pankhurst, good work. We didn't even notice the ear was there!
First-born Alice still drops by randomly to catch up with her mum. I'm always so happy to see her. ^^

The teens work hard on their homework.
Deanna's doctor Arnav Parikh arrives, and they get down to business.
Woohoo! Thanks, Arnav!
She gives him the news, then asks to Just Be Friends. They depart in good spirits; maybe he'll be the one to deliver them in a few days? :D

Chapter 14
Vera, had been standing in the doorway of her daughter’s old room for twenty minutes reminiscing on the past. Six years of memories rest comfortably within the walls of this room for the three girls to always remember. Now times have changed and Vera is left to care for her youngest daughter.
Did I fail her?
That one burning question is what Vera asks herself everyday for the last two months. The poor woman does nothing but doubt her abilities to be a mother, decapitating her self confidence in every way imaginable. Young Careena even noticed a difference in her mom’s attitude, mood and some days her appearance. On the days Vera doesn't have to work, she's typically dress down in old shirts and pajama pants. With her being back in school now for the spring semester she does a lot lounging around the house.
College isn't what is used to be and these online courses are a real bitch. Arielle used to help her mother out with homework and exam preparation but now that she's gone, Careena has to pick up the slack. The short version of all of this, is that Arielle’s absence is taking its toll in more ways than one.
Careena on the other hand is happy for her sister's new life. Of course there are days when that sister bond is longed for but that hasn't cause Reena to feel sad or upset. Down at the end of the hall Vera could hear Careena’s music creep under the open space at the bottom of the door and fill the hallway faintly. It’s questionable how Reena has been able to deal with her sister's lack of appearance so effortlessly. But it's rather quite simple, at least in Careena’s mind it is.
Trudging toward the opposite end of the hallway, Vera grabbed the doorknob and burst into the room taking in everything she saw. There on the bed lay multiple and different size boxes covered in baby themed wrapping paper. Vera had no clue what was inside each box but she knew they were gifts for her soon to come grandbaby. Careena put down her beauty blender egg and turned to face her mom with slow movements. Vera had this sad puppy dog expression on her face and Reena didn't know how to react to her mom burstin in her room.
“Are those for your sister?” She mumbled, with one hand on the doorknob and another on her left cheek. Careena slowly nodded in response to her mother's question, not having any desire to further upset the woman.
“When did you have time to buy baby presents? You've been skipping out on school haven't you?” Vera's quick assumptions were scary and intimidating but Careena kept her wits about her.
“Mom, no. I made time to get a few things for the baby so Arielle wouldn't have so much to buy. You know how she is with being prepared for the future. I just thought I could help her out to make this ea-”
“Wow..” A low murmur flew out Vera’s mouth and before she knew it she was chuckling to herself. Careena now holds right to be afraid of what her mom might do. Some flip of emotion must've just occurred in Vera's mind prompting her change in mood. She then stalked over to Reena’s bed and went for the harmless boxes.
Careena yelled over and over for her mom to stop ripping opening the paper to see what was inside. Even with just the two of them in the room, their arguing sounded like so much chaos for two small people.
“Mom stop! You're gonna ruin everything!”
“I don't care!”
All one could hear outside of this room is yelling of the loudest kind. Three out of six boxes were successfully torn apart with the baby’s new clothes scattered across the bed and the floor. Careena was knocked onto the floor by her mom’s erratic behavior, just adding more fuel to the fire. The doorbell going off throughout the house put a pause on the current event and brought silence back to the home once again.
“Go answer the door mom. You told me I wasn't allowed to so go see who's at the door.” Careena spoke with uneven breaths. She watched Vera turn towards the door with wet eyes and a reddened face.
With Vera stomping off down the hall Careena slammed her door shut and slid down to the floor gripping her hair in between her fingers.
“Dang Ari..look what you being gone has done to her..to us.” Reena muttered to herself. She got up off the floor and went back to getting ready for the day. The remainder of the time she spent dolling herself up she could hear a man's voice downstairs. The voice is one she doesn't recognize giving her the opportunity to focus on the tasks at hand. With the sound of 21 Savage blaring out loud as Arielle’s specific ringtone, Careena ran to retrieve her cell.
“You gotta come and get me now. I can't stay here another minute longer.” She spat out in a rush, going around the room to prep a bag. Inside a large gift bag were the re wrapped boxes for the baby along with some extra belongings of Arielle's she left behind. Reena also threw in some stuff of her own.
“What's going on? Did mom spazz on you again?” Arielle questioned innocently.
With an irritated snack of the lips Careena kept pushing herself to clean up and get ready for her weekend with her sister.
“You already know she did. She's crazy Ari and I'm tired of being the one to deal with the fallout. I'm not saying you're to blame but you being gone is really screwing with her head and her feelings. You have got to sit down and talk to that woman.” Reena’s suggestion was more of a demand than a piece of advice but Arielle knew that. She smelled her little sister's attitude the second the line connected.
“I will.”
“No I mean a real conversation. Woman to woman. I don't know what y’all talk about but whatever it is doesn't seem to be resonating with her the way you think it is. She has these crazy objects anytime she goes into your room or sees anything baby related. She hasn't cooked nor has she gone grocery shopping in two weeks Ari so I've been living off snacks and juice. I'm hungry, I'm tired and I'm fed up.”
Arielle held sympathy towards her baby sister being that she knows what she's going through with Vera. Once upon a time when Canaan had just divorced Vera, Careena would go and stay with her dad every summer. Every day was a showdown with the behavior Vera expressed because of her youngest child being away.
“Walk a couple houses down. Go out the back and around the side of the house. Is she near you?” Arielle asked skeptically.
“Nah, she's downstairs talking to some man. I'm coming out. Bye.” Reena hung up on her sister and jetted for the stairs and towards the back of the house. Another look over her shoulder to ensure Vera wasn't watching and she was out. Quietly sneaking around to the side gate Careena unlatched the lock and snuck the gate door open just wide enough to squeeze through. She was successful at crossing the yard and following Ari’s directions on where to find Kamil's car.
Hearing soft knocks on the window, Kamil hit the locks so Careena could slip into the backseat.
“I feel like a fugitive right now. What took you so long?” Careena settled herself into the car, placing her bags on the empty seat next to her.
“We had some stuff to do. So why was mom freaking out again? You didn't really explain much on the phone.”
Careena broke down the fight with their mom shocking Arielle but not Kam in the slightest. Vera may have upgraded some of her characteristics but others will never change indefinitely.
Nestled comfortably at a booth inside the busy downtown PF Changs, the trio were enjoying their night to full capacity. No talk of personal problems or stress, just fun conversation to help go the night go by smoothly. Careena mentioned the subject of a baby shower which is currently the topic in rotation.
“So when will it be? I don't want you to have it while I'm in school and then I can't come.” Careena pointed out, picking through the vegetables mixed with her noodles.
Arielle and kamil both have their own ideas for the baby shower details. Since they know Ari is having a boy there is no set color scheme, place of interest, food choice, etc. Arielle doesn't want to go with the traditional blue that most parents go with. She's so bent on having a neutral theme so no one will be able to guess the gender right away. This has been her plan ever since she knew that she wanted to have kids of her own. Now Kam likes the blue idea but he wants to throw in grey as an accent shade or white as an accent tint.
“I thought about making the date for early April like the second week possibly. My due date is set for May 20 which is a Saturday but I could give birth anywhere from the 29th of April and the 3rd of June..so I don't know.” Arielle huffed.
“Okay what about who's all going? You know Canaan and Jaz will want to go and maybe even Erica. Ooh..what about y’alls moms?” Good question. Neither Kamil or Arielle could pretend they weren’t presented with a great fucking question. In order to keep the peace between the families one of two decisions will have to be made.
Since Kamil and his mom aren't Vera’s biggest fans they won't have much a choice but to tolerate Arielle’s mom. Because after all, Arielle won't keep her mom out of her baby’s life, not indefinitely anyhow. With the small changes Ms. O’Brien is making she might not be as big of a threat to the survival of this baby shower but there's always room for surprise.
“As long she stays in her place and doesn't come out of pocket I won't have anything to say. I know my grandmother, my mom, and my mom’s sister will be there like they were for La’s baby shower. We’ll figure something out that will be best for the both of us.” Kam declared, removing his glasses and roughly rubbing his face.
“I didn't know you wore glasses Kamil. That makes you both nerds.” Careena joked innocently.
“Nah these are not prescription they're just some glasses I ordered online when I got her a new pair. You're the real nerd, except you wear your contacts most of the time don't you?” He flipped the script putting Reena on the spot with no hesitation.
“That I do.” She confessed, flagging down their waiter for the night.
The waiter, Zeke, appeared with the check and a to-go bag of food for Arielle intended to be eaten later on tonight. Kamil foot the bill, the girls split the tip and then they left the restaurant full and satisfied.
“I feel so full. Ari how did you eat everything on your plate?” Reena moaned in disgust at rememberance of her sister's clean dinner plate.
“This baby helps me eat. I’m over 130 pounds now and I don't know how I feel about that. I got my food for later tonight and tomorrow so I'm all set. You good babe?”
Kamil looked over at Arielle and nodded with confidence. The engine turned over and out of the parking lot they went. Arielle turned on the radio and connected the car's blue tooth to her Apple Music. While she scrolled through her many playlists, Kam started up some talk with Reena to get to know her a little better. A velvety mixture of R&B and 90s rap was flowing through car, changing the mood in the air.
Kamil had a sudden craving for sweets and made his way to a cookie shop he lives for. Anytime he visits Gideons he leaves with a surplus of cookies. The drive to Gideon's took no time at all with Kam going 70 on the interstate and the lack of police. It's pushing 10 o'clock and the girls are getting sleepy but they'll soon awaken. Parking right in front of the bake house, Kamil turned the car off and scurried inside to pick up some treats.
Elle locked the car from the inside watching from her seat as Kam stood at the counter. Resting quietly with her hands on her belly, Elle swayed her head from side to side locked in mentally to the music. Inside Kamil was scanning the variety of cookies, cakes, pies and cheesecakes. A young woman walked over to where Kamil was standing with her hands behind her back.
“Have you decided what you wanted?” The girl asked stepping closer to the glass counter and looking at all the desserts for the millionth time today.
“Uh..yeah it's gonna be a big order though.” Clasping his hands together Kam bent down to see the goodies behind the glass better.
“Okay so I want two of every cookie in here.” Standing up straight Kam removed his wallet from his back pocket to get his card out. He felt a stare on him so when he met the eyes of the girl, he couldn't contain his laughter.
“Oh you're serious? Okay let me get started on these right away.” The girl slipped on a pair of gloves, grabbed carry out two boxes and began filling them up with cookies.
Glancing up at her customer the girl focused back on packing the small boxes. “So..whats with all the cookies..you throwing a party or something?” She laughed, closing the counter doors and bringing Kamil’s order over to the register.
“No party. I just really like these cookies. They're the best I've ever had. It's kind of slow in here tonight though.” Kamil's innocent observation was taken completely out of context with this girl. In her mind she saw an opportunity present itself with a good looking stranger. But unknown to her is that he's out of her league. This chick just dabbled in the confidence of transforming from a teenager to a legal adult.
There's no chance in hell that Kamil or any man in his right mind would even consider touching a girl as young as her. She's still thought of as a baby in most people's eyes and yet she believes her chance has come to snag a real man. She rung up the order and placed a sticker on the flaps of the boxes to keep the treats inside.
“That’ll be $51.18.” She murmured in a delicate tone of voice. Kamil looked at the board behind the counter and did his own math of how much these cookies really are. When he finished his calculation he shook his head in disbelief at what's happening. It didn't take him long to understand the situation.
“Please don’t do me any special favors. I know the total is way higher than what you're telling me. Here.” Handing over his card Kam turned around to find Arielle watching the show in amusement. She's a smart girl. Without even being inside the bake shop Arielle knew what mess Kamil was trying to clean up.
Looking back at the girl Kamil took back his card and grabbed the boxes from the counter. He thanked her and heads back out to the car.
“Hey wait..”
Stopping in his tracks Kamil faced the associate halfway not wanting to give in completely.
“I just wanted to say I'm sorry. I wasn't right for that and I didn't mean any harm I swear. I just..I don't really know what I thought.”
Kamil nodded in solidarity to her little speech and accepted her apology. This time when he turned around he didn't look back. Stepping out onto the chilly sidewalk Kam walked towards the driver side of the car.
“Hey..” A voice called out. Kamil got the door open thanks to Arielle unlocking the car and looked around to see who was talking to him. He locked eyes with Kaliyah yet again in a public place with Elle around. Kam placed the boxes over in Arielle's lap and shut the door, walking back over to the sidewalk.
Kaliyah has the same mindset as the little girl in the shop but Kam could easily recognize this new issue. Being that Kaliyah is no stranger to old boy he actually knew how to get rid of her.
“Why the fuck do you keep showing up everywhere that I go?” He spoke loudly.
“I want to talk Kam.” Kaliyah put on this voice that usually attracts men to her. The sultry, low pitch voice that gives off her true intentions and what she's feeling.
“We..” He motioned to himself as well as her, “don't have shit to talk about. If you're following me..stop. And I'm not asking Kaliyah. I don't want anything from you nor do I want you. You need to understand me when I say leave me the hell alone!” He exclaimed. The girl from inside the shop heard commotion but stayed in her rightful place.
“And you're gonna settle for her? Of all bitches you choose her! I gave you four years and this is how you repay-”
All in Kaliyah's personal bubble Kam started going off. Words of all sorts were being exchanged, hand gestures were flying about, and curse words being slung back and forth. A shouting match is what's really going on and as stupid as it sounds Kam is enjoying taking his frustrations out verbally.
“Fuck this shit. I'm out. Stay away from me!” Kamil jogged over to the car and ducked off inside and sped off to the apartment. What a way to end the night right?
As Kamil was finishing Careena’s sleep palette in the living room, she was taking her shower. The only sounds in the apartment came from the movie playing in Kamil’s room, the water going, and Kam re-arranging the living room. The door was locked and bolted, so once he was done, Kam headed to the room to check on Arielle. Today has been eventful for everyone, not one person has more to talk about more than the other two.
Stretching out beside a very tired Arielle, Kam focused on her while she focused on the movie. He saw the stress in her face and in her eyes. There’s nothing she can do to hide her true feelings everything that’s happened in just this week alone. Breaking her concentration of the TV, Ari closed her eyes and fingered the curls falling around her face. Luckily for her the stresses of everyday life haven’t effected the growth of her hair, nails, or overall health.
“You okay?” Kam muttered, moving in to play with her hair as well.
Poor girl couldn’t fight the small chuckle that slipped passed her lips. “Oh do I wish I could say yes. I just don’t understand why all of this shit is happening. The stress is driving me insane deep, deep down. I’m trying my hardest not to let it show on my face because being this far along and stressing can really affect the baby. All I want is some peace and quiet. I’d rather disappear until after the baby is born. Where’s my sister?”
“I’m right here. Did you want to open these? It might help get your mind off of things.” Careena’s suggestion was welcomed and now the three of them were sitting on the bed.
“I’ve been shopping here and there for some baby presents so I hope you like everything.” All six boxes were piled up beside Arielle’s knee, waiting to be opened up. She wasted no time getting into the presents. And just like Kamil and Careena bet on, Ari cried every time she unwrapped a new box. Tears of joy ran down her cheeks as she lined up all of her son’s new clothes.
“It’s all so damn cute and I can’t stop crying. Thank you for this. You have no idea how much you doing this for me means to me Reena. And with the way mom has been acting lately, I’m even more grateful to you for putting up with her and still supporting me.” The girls shared an intense and intimate moment as sisters and friends. The day has it’s ups and downs but this moment trumps the last 22 or so hours, all thanks to a kick ass little sister.
