"baby?" Zabdiel whispered in Aaliyah's ear
"Mi amol" He tried again when she didn't budge
"Aaliyah" he said again this time shaking her lightly
"the world better be coming to an end for you to be waking me up before my human alarms" Aaliyah mumbled
"I can't sleep" he whined
"Now how is this my problem?" Aaliyah asked not opening her eyes
"Because you're my wife?" Zabdiel smiled
"Why don't you bother the other guys?" Aaliyah groaned turning away from Zabdiel
"Richard and Aleesha locked the door, Christopher isn't home, Joel threw a shoe at me and Erick threatened to gut Appa if i woke Ray up" Zabdiel explained
"So you came to me?" Aaliyah asked "i'm tired mi amoooor"
"I know, i know but i have a lot on my mind and i can't sleep" Zabdiel whined

Aaliyah sighed, turning her bedside table lamp on and sitting up, leaning against the headboard. She rubbed the sleep out of her eyes as she focused her vision to look at Zabdiel. Even messy hair, bags under his eyes and sleep dancing through his expressions he still was the most handsome man she had laid eyes on. Subconsciously Aaliyah brought her hand up to run through his blonde locks, Zabdiel momentarily closing his eyes to focus on the feeling before opening them again to look at his wife

"Did you even sleep?" Aaliyah asked
"Yes" Zabdiel lied only earning a look from Aaliyah "no"
"Tell me what's on your mind then" Aaliyah asked bringing the duvet up to under her arms
"Last night before i came to bed the realtor that Aleesha was working with called and told me he had this amazing place, it had like a gazillion rooms and a pool and also this yard and all. So during the break today i went to take a look at it and it's perfect amor. I literally cannot stop thinking about Theo and Mia growing up there, there are a bunch of amazing schools in the area and-
"Zabdi wait" Aaliyah interrupted still trying to wrap her head around it all "Do you really want to leave the band?"
"If that's what it takes to make you happy-
"But are you happy?" Aaliyah asked "Forget about me. Ello son tus hermanos, you do everything together! este era tu sueño papi. I don't want you to leave that pero que de mi"
"Okay now i know you're upset cause you're speaking spanglish" Zabdiel joked
"Zabdiel. Estoy enserio pupi" Aaliyah sighed
"i know, i know but i'm thinking of the future here. I don't want you to have to give up what you love doing because now the twins are going to school and all that." Zabdiel reasoned
"And i don't want you to give up what you love because of something that cannot be fixed, look papi let's make a deal. You work this record, and every other one to come and when an obstacle concerning the twin's comes up we'll sit down. and compromise?" Aaliyah suggested "If you have to give something up, so do i. Deal?"

Zabdiel's heart swelled in his chest, never before had he had a partner so willing to give up as much he was giving up, it was always take and never give. He felt himself fall harder and more in love with Aaliyah something he didn't thing was possible. He brought his hand up to her face, cupping it he brought their lips to a kiss before pulling away and looking at Aaliyah

"Deal" he solidified
"Gracias, ahora, buenos noches amor, dulces sueños" Aaliyah smiled

In the morning Erick woke up to an empty bed, his eyes widening as the realisation knocked him out of his sleep that his pregnant wife was missing. He frantically ran to the bathroom before running down to Sienna's room, when that was empty he ran to the only other place he could think of which was the room designated for the nursery and sure enough he found her there. In the empty room Ray sat in the corner on a rocking chair she had impulsively bought when she found out she was pregnant.

Sienna slept in her lap, face buried in Ray's chest as her chest rose slightly from her soft breathing. Ray lifted her eyes to look at Erick who was breathing hard from all the running he had done so early in the morning. Erick's face contorted in confusion when Ray made no movement to greet him or even shoot him a smile
