We grabbed a bite to eat before going home. He pulled into our driveway next to my mom's car. The moment he put the vehicle in park, I got out with the food bag in my hand and the drink carrier. Just before I could get my key in the door, my mom opened it.

"Thank you," I said and she moved so I could step in.

"How was New York?," she asked me.

"It was dope, I wanna go back," I told her.

"Nice, I'm glad y'all had a good time," she replied.

"Where is my baby at?," I asked her.

"Upstairs taking her nap," she responded.

"Ma, thank you again for watching her while we work," I told her.

"Sweet pea it's not a problem at all, you know I don't mind watching Brianna," she reassured.

I smiled and nodded my head. Brent joined my side at the counter, and we bashed our food. By the time I finished, the baby monitor started going off.

"And that's my cue," I said, throwing away my trash and making my way upstairs.

As I walked in the room, Brianna continued to cry.

"It's okay mamas, I'm here now," I said and the moment she heard my voice she quieted down some.

I carefully picked her up and peppered her face with kisses which caused her to smile.

"I missed you Bri Bri," I cooed.

Her little hands grabbed at my face which in return made me smile.

Going to the changing table, I laid her down to put a fresh diaper on and swap out her onesie. Next, I sat in my reclining chair and got ready to feed her that liquid gold. (Of course, she pumped out the old batch before they got back home.)  10 minutes into feeding her, Brent entered the room. He had informed me that ma left already.

"How's our princess doing?," he asked me.

"She's good, just was fussing a little bit due to a wet diaper and hunger, but she missed us too. Ain't that right momma?," I spoke.

Brianna smiled a little bit and went back to eating.

"It's crazy how big she's getting, you just had her yesterday," he said.

"I know, my heart can't take it."

After I finished feeding her, Brent burped her. Next, we headed to our room. While I got comfortable, he held Brianna and cut on one of our anime shows that we watched. I took Brianna back so he could go change. After he returned, we all got cozy. Brianna laid out in his chest, while I snuggled into his side. Before I knew it, I was out like a light.
That next morning when I woke, Brent was no longer next to me and I didn't see Brianna. Getting up, I walked over to her bassinet and found her sleeping. Going to check my phone, I have a text from him.
