Kina's POV

Jayce, Dario, and I have been living it up in Jamaica for the past week. Reece even came with us. Jayce and Reece are back to being the best of friends again.

Reece and Kalisa are dating now. Yes!

We just finished sending thank you cards for the first baby shower. It took us a while to sign each card. Natalia had that many gifts. There were some for me and Dario too, but mostly for Natalia.

For this baby shower, we got some thank you cards. And, Natalia has a nice, fat bank account too. My baby girl is set for life in that regard.

Once again, I was told to stay out of the kitchen and to relax. So, Beau, Bentley, Blaze, and I are outside, enjoying the sun.

I felt myself drifting off to sleep until I heard Dario calling my name. I turned around from the lounge chair and was shocked at who I saw.

"Janiyah and Graeme?!"

I struggled to get up out of the lounger and waddled over to them.

"Well, this is definitely a wonderful surprise! I love you guys. Thank you for coming. And, look at Jacee. Hi, cutie."

After hugging Graeme and Janiyah, I picked Jacee up from her carrier. "Let's go have a seat."

"You're welcome, Kina. I couldn't turn down a trip to Jamaica to support my friend," Janiyah said as we walked to the loungers.

"I'm relegated to having a seat outside. My grandparents will not let me in the kitchen. I'm bored because I love to cook."

"Kina, girl sit back and relax. I loved my relaxing time when I was pregnant."

"It's hard, but I've been trying. Graeme, I apologize in advance if my family bothers you because I know they will. They worship the ground of the ones that are their favorite actors or actresses. You are one of their favorites." They started chuckling but I'm serious.

"I'm sure it's not that bad."

More of my family began to come into the yard. My animal kids took off into the house. They don't like large crowds. I saw my mom and dad walking my way.

"Kina, we're just about ready to start. You and Dario need to sit in the decorated chairs to begin the party."

"Thanks, mom. You remember my friends - Janiyah, Jacee, and Graeme?"

"I sure do. Thank you for coming. How old is the baby now?" My mom asked.

My dad helped me stand up while Jacee was in my arms.

Janiyah answered, "You're welcome. And, Jacee is now four months old."

We took a walk over to where I would be sitting for the shower. Jacee looked at me and smiled. She is so adorable.

"Time sure is flying by. You all can sit at the table with my kids, Jayce, and Reece. Follow me."

"Kina, let me know when you are ready for a break. Graeme will come to get Jacee."

"Okay." The great grandparents just came out of the house and took their seats with pops. The DJ stopped playing music and my Grandpa Del is about to speak.
