Sienna pulls over by the pavement, sliding down the car window.

'Hey, Rose. Ready for a fun sleepover?' she says, smiling. The little girl cheers, running to the car door to climb up on the seat. 'Aunty!' she exclaims, reaching out to hug her.

Sienna wraps her arms around her small body and kisses the top of her head.

'Do I get a kiss and a hug?' Scarlett says, putting Rose's bag of toys in the backseat. 'Yes, of course, Scarlett.' she pecks her cheek.

'Thank you for taking Rose for tonight. I'll pick her up tomorrow morning.' Scarlett tells her as she secures her daughter into the passenger seat. Rose still wears the joyous smile on her face, excited for tonight.

'I have a free day tomorrow. So you can come at any time you want for Rose.' Sienna replies.

'That's great. I'll see you tomorrow then. Bye, honey. Be good for Aunty Enna.' Scarlett kisses her daughter on the cheek and closes the door.

'Bye-bye mama.' the girl waves at her mom, giggling.

Scarlett walks back inside her house and Sienna takes the car window up as she starts to drive.

'Do you wanna make some cupcakes tonight? I got the ingredients with me.' she asks her.

'The ones with chocolate frosting?' Rose asks.

'Yep, those. My sister, Bella, will be helping us.' Sienna replies.

'What about Uncle Chris?' she innocently questions.

'He's not here. But why did you ask that?' she chuckles, surprised how she asked about him.

'Mommy was tearing up last month and said that she was happy that you and Uncle Chris are together.' the girl explains.

Sienna stops at the traffic lights, staring unbelievably at Rose. 'Yes, Rose. Uncle Chris and I are together.' she says.

'Does that mean you'll have kids?' she says.

Sienna knits her eyebrows together in confusion. 'I mean- How can I say this? Okay, so, me and Uncle Chris are at a time where we get to know each other and have fun.' she starts to explain, glancing at each side of the road to cross over to the other side.

'After that, sometimes a miracle drops by and I'm carrying a baby in my belly or else, I'm in a white dress accepting Uncle Chris as my husband.' she continues.

Rose gazes at her, trying to understand what she's saying. 'So, by the time I and Uncle Chris are married and have kids, you'll most probably be in your teens.' Sienna concludes, sighing.

The girl stays quiet, stiffening her laughter. Sienna looks at her and smiles. 'Laugh all you want, love. You'll have to wait.' she giggles. Rose lets out a peal of soft laughter from her mouth.

'Do you love Uncle Chris?' she blurts out.

Sienna felt blood rising to her cheeks. 'That- It's complicated.' she whispers.

'You said about weddings and babies. Don't you love him?' Rose asks.

'You're smart for a 5-year-old. Do you watch romantic movies or something?' Sienna surprisingly says.

'Twilight.' she responds.

'With mommy?'

She nods. 'Well?' Rose asks.

Sienna took a pause, thinking. She never saw weddings and babies with her previous relationships, only Chris made her imagine those things. It had only been a month and a half and she felt like Anthony was in control of her life. It was fast to say 'I love you' but she couldn't help falling for him.
