Aaliyah guided Aleesha through to the next room, showing her the sketch she had composed on how the room would look once she had finished it, she showed her where the desks would sit as well as where the wires would run so there wouldn't be any exposed wires thag would throw off the entire room

"And this is where the painting should hang" Aaliyah said tapping the wall with her pencil before turning to Aleesha "So what do you think boss?"
"Great, this is all amazing Li, thank you so much" Aleesha smiled greatfully
"It's honestly all good, i'm just glad you chose me to help" Aaliyah smiled back
"Lunch? it's nearly 2pm and we've been here for over 6 hours" Aleesha sighed in exhaust
"These heels are killing me, Zabdiel was right i shouldn't have gone for them" Aaliyah whined
"Zabdiel was right? Well i guess there's a first time for everything" Aleesha laughed

The girls got into Aleesha's Jeep, making their way to a popular restaurant which so happened to be 25 minutes away from Aleesha's site. The entire ride consisted of the girls playing some of the boys unreleased songs and giving opinions about them. They pulled up and got out, being assisted immediately and given menus

"I feel like we havn't spoken in a while, or at least since i was hospitalised" Aleesha said looking through the menu "What's up with you? your life? the twin's?"
"Everything is good, for the most part, Zabdi wants to move out and-
"Wait move out as in— leave?" Aleesha asked shocked
"Yup" Aaliyah said playing with her straw
"And how does that make you feel?" Aleesha asked

"To be 100% honest I have no idea, i wanna move out and have our own house and all that. You know raise the twins in a normal environment. But at the same time i don't want to drive a wedge between the boys, i don't want to leave you guys alone— we've been together for over a decade" Aaliyah sighed
"Last time i saw you this stressed about a move was when Ray had to leave to live in her dorm" Aleesha joked
"And she was just down the road" Aaliyah laughed
"To be honest, i think you should be honest with Zabdiel, i'm sure the move won't hurt the boys they all understand that they are growing. 3 of them are married now. 2 have babies and this will all soon have to be spoken about" Aleesha advised
"I guess i'll just have to bite it in the ass" Aaliyah said

Before Aleesha could answer her phone went off, an incoming facetime. She pulled it out and seeing Zabdiel's contact smiled. She answered it and soon her husband and Mia's faces were all over her screen, a red substance all over Mia's bottom half of her face

"Zabdiel whats on my daughters face?" Aaliyah asked squinting to see it
"Mama mama!" Mia yelled grabbing the phone
"Dios Mia, you'll get your turn" Zabdiel rushed out "I wanted to show you this"

Before Aaliyah could ask what the camera was flipped over to reveal Theo. Richard held both of his hands as he helped himself up and began walking towards the camera, screaming in delight when he reached his father. Aaliyah bit her lip, holding in her tears of joy and delight at her sons new achievement

"They didn't do that when we left" Aleesha commented with a laugh
"Mi amor are you crying?" Zabdiel asked
"My son can walk, what do you think?" Aaliyah said holding her hand over her mouth
"Can Mia also?" Aleesha asked
"Yeah we found them helping each other actually, it was really cute" Richard said "Reminds me of when-
"Oh kay! we'll be home right away okay see you" Aleesha rushed out before hanging up
"Girl-
"Whenever he starts about Aaliyah he'll start about babies and i'm not in the mood to humor him" Aleesha explained "now chop chop we have kids to see walk"

Ray squeezed her eyes as she forced herself to wake up from her nap. She sat still for a minute still processing her surroundings, opening her eyes she noticed Sienna missing from her side but her plushie was still there. She grabbed the toy and slowly made her way downstairs where she found Sienna sat on Erick's lap, a brush in hand and her make up scattered all over the table in a mess.
