"E." I said as we laid next to each other. E's back was to me as I spoke.

"Sloane." She replied. She was still paused at me and it was ok. Used my free arm to wrap it around her and pull her in to me. She didn't protest instead she snuggled in to me.

"We have dinner plans soon." I reminded her before kissing her ear. We ladies there for a bit before my phone rang. Reaching behind me I saw that it was Erin.

"Everything ok sis?" I said answering the phone. I held the phone slightly in front of Emerald so Erin could see her sister.

"Why are you crying?" E asked as she noticed the tears. She shot up.

"The boys are fine. Come say hi to mommy and daddy boys." I was relieved as she called for them. I could hear them running through the house as the called out for us.

"Talk to them while I go get Amir." Erin said as she gave the phone to Khalil and Nasir.

"Where is uncle Nate?" I asked them.

"Upstairs." Nasir managed to say. E and I were both excited to hear him speak.

"Auntie E took us to the aquarium Amir was asleep when we went to the Dolphin show though." Khalil went on and on about the fish and how he helped Erin with the boys. He even asked about his sister and how they talked to her before she went to her doctors appointment.

"Boys come this way." We could hear Erin say from the background. The boys did just that. Once they hit back to Erin we were able to see all three boys.

"We love you babies." E said just before they asked when we were coming back. I though about telling them about the temporary move but it was obviously too soon.

"E really. When are y'all coming back? My first appointment is soon." She said really confirming that not only was she pregnant but that she was considering keeping the baby.

"Is that why you were... um?" E was trying to save face for the boys because they get real defensive when the Women in their life shed any tears.

"We are trying to figure it out and it's not going to work so yeah. I'll be on my own." She said while Nasir now held the phone.

"Soon babe I promise."

"You will never be on your own Erin. Never." I said as E backed me up.

"I'll take care of my brother. I promise you that." I said making sure she heard me. What ever was going on in his head needed to be set straight.

"I'll see y'all when you get back. I really need you." She let us know that it was OK for us to go enjoy the rest of our time on the West Coast will make the boys will be safe.

"We see the club tomorrow I'll fly out after." E said. Before hanging up I was able to hear my brothers voice but it made me upset that he made her feel that way so I opted not to speak to him.

"I'm going to get ready." E said clearly feeling some type of way got up and began searching through the things we bought today.

"I'll get it." She said referring to the Knock at the door. I let her. I knew exactly what I wanted to put on so it was best for me to lay it out now.

"Sloane it's for you." E yelled. I stood up and thought about who it could possibly be. I looked around the room knowing I wasn't strapped if it was someone I didn't want to see. I walked out of the room and in to the main area of the suite.

"Tyson?" I said interrupting the conversation he was having with my wife.

"What's up man." We dapped each other up and I was happy to see him.
