"Look isn't it pretty!" Mary says flashing her new ring in my face. I just woke up and half awake. "You're getting married?" I say rubbing my face. "Yup Mamas getting married." She screams excitedly. I looked at her because she knows i'm mama.
"Shawtys getting married Shawty." She says correcting herself. "There it is, i'm happy for you"I smile. "Thank you, i called my mom yesterday and she sounded happy for me." She says sitting next to me. "She is, her only child is getting married." I say. "And you're not pregnant first, yeah she's definitely happy babe" I say struggling to get up. "Where is ya baby daddy anyways?" She says.

"Not in yo business obviously" Bryce says coming in the room with breakfast for Gianna. "Babe!" Gianna yells. I looked at her sideways and then Bryce. "She got that from you not us" Bryce says canceling out him and Mary. "That's not your babe it's mines" I say to her. "No my babe" She says jumping into Bryce's arms. "I'm both your babes" Bryce says jumps in. "What's on your agenda today Mr Hall." I say looking through the suitcase. "You have me until four" He says. I looked around for my phone "It's almost ten let's go baby" I say grabbing random stuff and throwing it at him for Gianna to put on.

"So, we have a baby shower to go to." I say bringing up my brothers shower. "We as in the five of us?"He says talking about Blake and Mary. I shook my head slowly while laughing. "Me, you, and Gianna." I say poking at my food. "Your family- is my family, if they have a problem with you then they problem with me." I say leaning towards him. He laughed and then kissed me. "I don't think thats how it works." He says. "It will. Now what are we going to do until four?" I asked him. "Well, if you don't wanna walk around we can go shopping?" He says. "I still have to walk babe but lets go!" I say smiling. He laughed and paid for our bill. Gianna got up and grabbed my hand and we headed out to the city.

As we were walking out Bryce tapped my side and pointed to a girl. She looked uncomfortable at the bar. I put my phone down and let go of Giannas hand. "We'll be outside" He says taking Gianna's hand and walking out the restaurant. I walked over to the girl and the awkward three men drooling over her like vultures. "Hey, your niece is waiting for you outside." I say putting a fifty on the bar. "Oh yay, I miss her." She says going along with me. She grabbed her purse and walked out with me. "Oh my god, thank you." she says hugging me "You're welcome." I say hugging her back. "Do I have to pay you back, all I had was a cosmo." She says. "Oh no you're fine" I say. "Im Gianna." Gianna says coming in between us. "Hi Gianna you must be my niece. Im Shelley." She says looking down at her. "Hi Shelley." She says waving at her. "Dude seriously let me pay you back."She says. "She wont take it, even if you shove it in her purse. It will always come back to you."Bryce says picking up Gianna. "You're Bryce Hall..." She says pointing at him. She looked at me up and down. "Holy shit, I just got saved by Hollywood." She says dropping her jaw. Bryce and I laughed to ourselves. "Well thanks again Maleah."Shelley says walking away.

"Hollywood?"Bryce says. "Jokes on her, we live nowhere near Hollywood" I say laughing. "Right."He says walking. "Mommy where are we going?" Gianna asked me. "Ummm... Where do you wanna go?" I say stopping and looking at her. "Shopping!" She says. I looked at Bryce. "She's your kid." He says shaking his head and walking towards Times Square.

"Aww so nice of you guys to join us."Jaden says as we ran into everyone else but us in Times Square. "Oh heyyy." I say waving at them. "Looks like it took zero time to take them shopping" Josh says. "Most of this is Giannas." We both say scratching our heads. "Yup!" Gianna says nodding at them. "New York is boring." Mary says. "I agree with you. Thats why we are just shopping." Bryce says. "I like it. I could live here." I shrugged. "You're shitting right?" Blake says. "How many times did she stop walking?" Griffin asked. "Six times." Bryce says. "I am with children. Give me a break." I say rubbing my stomach. "Are we still doing dinner tonight?" I asked everyone. "Yes ma'am" Blake says. Of course Blakes going to dinner there's food involved. I gave him a thumbs up. "What do you boys got planned today?" Mary asked. "Photoshoot." Jaden says. "For?" I asked. "A brand?"Noah says.
