"OKAY, HAVE A good nights sleep." I say in a hushed tone as I lift the blanket over Juniors body, kissing his forehead.

"You too," He mumbled as he turned on his side. I stood up and made my way to his door, about to turn off the lights and leave. Instead, I pause when I heard Junior finish his sentence. "goodnight mommy."

I spun on my heel, staring at Juniors calmed figure as he settled into his nap.

"What?" I asked as I continued to stare at him. When he didn't answer, I concluded that he was already asleep. I quietly backed out of the open door, close the light and the door.

I stood there for about thirty seconds before I composed myself, deciding to walk down to the kitchen for a snack before going to meet up with Prince.

I walked down the steps, my hand grazing the railing as I slowly made my way towards the kitchen. My mind was still wrapping around what Junior had called me when I saw a familiar figure standing in the kitchen.

"Vivian?"

She quickly turned around, fear evident in her eyes until she saw me standing there. Her trembling lips turned into a small smile, one that blurred as she charged towards me, her arms open and soon engulfing me in a tight hug.

"Ma'am, I'm so sorry!" She immediately said once she had me in her grasp. I hugged her back, patting her back as I tried to look down at her with a dazed look.

"For what?"

"The camera, the small one in your room." She confessed as she pulled away. My face went from confusion to distrust as I took a step back.

"That's why you were in my room that night." I mumbled as realization hit me. "Why would you do that?"

Her eyes teared up as she looked at me, seeing the way my behavior changed towards her.

"I had no choice, Marcus made me. He said if I didn't he'd hurt my children." She said between sobs. I frowned, knowing she wouldn't have done it if it wasn't important.

"Please forgive me." She begged as she tightly closed her eyes, temporarily stopping her tears as the ones that managed to escape slipped down her face.

"It's okay, I forgive you." I say calmly as I pull her into another hug. She sobbed into my shoulder, forming a wet spot on my shoulders jacket.

"I'll make it up to you. I swear it." She managed to say between hiccups.

"It's okay, really. You did what you had to do." I say as I rubbed her arm gently. "Anyone would've done it."

"Thank you!" She shouted as she hugged tighter. I lightly laughed at her actions, hugging her back. Once she finally let go of me I took a few steps back, not wanting her to grab me again.

"Of course." I said with a smile. She returned it then looked around.

"Did you come down here for something? Can I help you?" She quickly asked. I shook my head.

"I was going to make a snack but I think I need to change." I said with a giggle, looking at my jackets shoulder section. She followed my gaze and covered her mouth, her face turning red from embarrassment.

"I am so sorry!" She shouted, staring at the large wet spot.

"It's okay, really." I said quickly. I turned around and went for the stairs. I stopped and looked at Vivian. "And thank you for being honest with me."
