Erick turned in his sleep, instinctively going to wrap his arm around Ray but came into contact with the pregnancy pillow that had to easily replaced his cuddles. His eyebrows furrowed as he sleepily tried to comprihend her missing as he finally opened his eyes and scanned rhe dark room. Deciding not to panic he got up and went to the bathroom, peeing and then going downstairs to look for her.

Low and behold he found Ray on the island, legs crossed, belly on display, surrounded by packets of different flavoured chips, avocado skins and a tub of Vanilla ice cream opened. He watched as she carefully scooped some ice cream onto the salt and vinegar chip, then on the avo that sat balanced on her stomach and then guided it to her mouth, silently moaning at the taste

"Mamita" Erick said quietly
"Fuck you scared me!" Ray gasped holding her heart
"What are you doing up so late?" Erick said focusing his eyes on the time on the microwave "3:46AM?"
"I was craving salsa chips" Ray shrugged "and i didn't wanna wake you to get me some at Taco Bell so i just came to make some but i found a way better concoction of ice cream and tortilla chips but then salt and vin-
"Baby" Erick stopped her ramble "you know i wouldn't have minded waking Christopher to drive me"
"I know" Ray giggled "but it's fine, i think i'm okay"
"You sure?" Erick asked walking up to stand in front of her
"Ouch" Ray whinced as she went to answer
"Kick?" Erick asked making Ray nod

He got on the counter with her, putting her in between his legs as she navigated where the kick had been felt. Once he had located it, Erick felt the frantic kicks begin as Ray leaned back into him in pain

"You know you scared me" Erick said softly massaging her stomach to ease the pain "i thought i was going to lose you and rhe baby"
"I'm sorry" Ray said to him
"It's not your fault" Erick said
"I know, and i know you're worrying about me but don't. I'm a strong woman i promise i can do this and give you your baby" Ray smiled tiredly
"I love you so much" Erick smiled kissing the side of her head
"He's going to be a soccer player" Ray sighed
"He?" Erick questioned
"My mom said my face has this 5 o'clock shadow, she knows i'm having a boy" Ray shrugged moving to get off the counter
"Well then" Erick said moving to be eye level to her stomach "Kairo Colón, it's time for bed"
"Kairo?" Ray questioned
"Don't like it?" Erick asked looking up at her
"No, i love it" Ray smiled giving Erick a kiss

Aaliyah put her hand out in Theo's direction making him take the pencil that was previously in his mouth and put it in his mother's outstretched hand.

"You can keep that one" Aaliyah sighed grabbing another one and continuing her sketch
"The thing don't stop" Aleesha said coming to join Ray and Aleesha in the living room with a laundry basket
"Never" Aaliyah said holding the sketch up "does that look out of proportion?"
"Don't ask me, i'm the doctor" Ray said moving slightly making Mia who was laying spider style on her stomach giggle
"Isn't that painful and/or hurting the baby?" Aleesha asked
"Nope, maybe squishing his big head but it's pretty comfortable" Ray said simply
"Girl" Aleesha said taking Mia off
"Mummy" Mia whined slapping Aleesha's hands off her
"Okay miss gurl there's yo momma" Aleesha said putting her down

Mia waddled her way over to where her brother was, who handed her rhe pencil he was playing with. Lunay walked into the house, Sienna walking in behind him. She called out for Ray who answered before appearing in the living room. Sienna put her bag down and walked over to Ray who furrowed her brow at the big hand print of paint on her pant leg

"Ena, who put that there?" Ray asked pointing toward the paint handprint
"Jacob" Sienna beamed
"Who the-
"Jacob is this cute little Asian boy in her class, fairly small. He brought her lunch today so don't be shocked that her lunch is untouched" Lunay said simply coming back from the kitchen
"You know for a rich man you eat other peoples food a lot" Aaliyah said as he sat down across from Ray
"You know for successful women in their 20s you have a lot of kids" Lunay shot back "Also the little man is about to eat your eraser"
"Theo!" Aaliyah scolded making him drop it and look up at her "puppy eyes only work on your papa"
"Sowi mamá" Theo stuttered
"C'mere my baby" Aaliyah gave in putting him on her chest making him smile
"I think you just got manipulated" Aleesha laughed
"Look it's the dimple!" Aaliyah complained
"You probably said that about Zabdiel too" Ray giggled

"Speaking of, i'm gonna need you to house sit again" Lunay said to Ray
"Where are you going now?" Ray asked
"PR, mom needs me" Lunay said simply
"You're lying you need her" Ray laughed sitting up
"Mommy's boy" Aleesha teased
"Hey thats Theo" Lunay said getting up
"I'll beat your ass, keep my baby out your mouth" Aaliyah growled
"If you weren't married i'd wife you" Lunay smiled winking at Aaliyah
"EW!" Ray gagged

The boys grabbed the bottles of water as they flopped onto tje floor of the dance studio

"Remind me to go back to tje gym, this relationship weight is running me down" Richard huffed
"I thought picking babies up was enough of a work out" Zabdiel commented
"Yeah you guys are in bad shape" Kyle laughed
"Thanks for that bro" Joel said throwing his empty bottle at him
"Pleasure" Kyle laughed dodging the weak throw "Okay so since you're going to perform this with other dancers, i thought they would join you now"
"What dancers?" Joel asked
"These dancers" Kyle said as he opened the door

In walked 5 girls, dressed in their work out clothes. Kyle assigned them to each boy but Richard's eyes were trained on a specific girl. Zabdiel's girl. He couldn't quite put his finger on it but she looked familiar like he knew her from somewhere, but nonetheless he introduced himself to his dancer and they proceeded to get through the choreo

"That was a good one!" Kyle said clapping his hands
"Because Erick didn't step on ghe poor girl" Joel snickered
"I'm sorry okay! my balance is off" Erick said apologetically
"It's okay, we have our days" The small girl giggled
"Okay so, you have tomorrow off, thursday we're back baby!" Kyle said grabbing his things "go to the gym"
"Fuck off" Richard laughed slapping Kyles hand from his face

The guys and girls proceeded to pack up their things, and filed out. Leaving Richard in the studio by himself as he laced his shoes. The door opened and the sound of a pair of foot steps followed

"Yo i'm coming give me a minute" Richard said chalking it up to one of the boys
"I'm not here for that" A female voice said
"Oh shit, i'm sorry" Richard said looking up to see Zabdiel's girl standing in front of him
"Richard" She said narrowing her eyes and furrowing her brows
"Do i know you?" Richard asked confused
"You're really going to act like you don't know me when you couldn't keep your eyes off me the entire day?" She shot back humourless
"Ah, you noticed" Richard said crossing his arms over his chest
"I see you moved on" She said gesturing to his ring
"It's been 4 years" Richard said grabbing his tog bag
"And?" She asked
"Lessya" Richard breathed out "Behave"
"Whatever you say" Lessya smirked and walking out

Richard let out a breath, jogging towards to car where the boys were waiting up for him

"You okay?" Zabdiel asked "you look like you've seen a ghost"
"Maybe i have" Richard sighed
