Three Little Birds

Chapter XXII

Narrator's pov

Rosie's birthday is in 3 weeks. (Y/N) and Daveed don't know what to get her.

Renée's pov

I woke up the next morning wrapped in my fiancé's arms. I decided to get up and have a shower but he tightened his grip on me.

"Oak, I need to go shower" He groaned in response before letting go. I tried to stand up but failed after another "morning after".

"Baby, can you carry me?" His eyes opened and he saw me sitting there. He grabbed some shorts as I threw on his hoodie.

Daveed's pov

Daveed and I have been trying to figure out what to get Rosie for a month now. I gave up for the night but Daveed said he'd keep trying for a while.

"Daveed, you've been at this for hours."

"Well I'm not stopping until I find the perfect gift for my niece"

"Baby, you haven't slept"

"I don't need sleep"

"Baby, why are you obsessing?" I cupped his face with my hands. I turned his head so he would look at me. He sat with his arms crossed.

"I'm not obsessing"

"Let's just take a break" I grabbed his hand and led him to the couch. We sat for a bit before he talked again.

"I need her to forgive me"

"Rosie isn't mad at you" He sighed and looked at me.

"No, Renée" It all became clear.

Daveed said some horrible things to Renée a few weeks ago. Renée said she forgave him for what he said a few days later but they didn't get a chance to talk about it.

"She forgave you already, mi amor"

"She hasn't forgiven me yet and she's my best friend"

"Just call her, Daveed"

Daveed's pov

I walked away to call Renée. It rung a few times before there was an answer.

Daveed Oak

"Hello?"

"Oak? Where's Renée?"

"She's in the shower"

"Okay, I'll call back later" I hung up. What if she just didn't want to talk to me?

I continued looking for a gift for Rosie. I came across a blanket with a yellow rose on it and it said Rosie in big letters.

"That's too basic!"

The anger of not being able to find a gift and not being able to talk to Renée swirled inside of me. I pushed the computer back and it fell off of the table. (Y/N) came running towards the sound.

(Y/N)'s pov

"Baby, are you o- Daveed?" He was sitting on the floor. He breathing was unusual and he seemed to be angry but sad. I dashed to his side to calm him down.

"Daveed, it's okay. She's gonna love what ever you pick" He didn't respond.

"Daveed, you need to look at me" He ignored me again. I ran for my phone but I couldn't find it. I picked up Daveed's phone and called Renée.

(Y/N) Renée

"Hello?"

"How quick can you get here?"
