*Payton in MM*

"Hey August" Nicki spoke to August as he sat with Adam asleep on his chest.

"Wassup Nicki" he greeted her as he paused the music.

"Aw isn't he cute" Nicki said quietly we and August chuckled.

"Yea this my lil man, my bad I couldn't get a baby sitter for our session" August told her and she sat down.

"Where's his mom" she asked and August looked at her.

"We co-parent, it's my turn to have him" August explained to her and her attitude changed.

"She couldn't keep him" she asked and August laughed to hisself.

"No.. i wanted to keep my son. It's a problem that he here" he asked and she looked at him.

"I mean it was suppose to be me and you but how we gone get in the booth to do our verse" she asked and August looked at the booth then at her.

"I'll take him in there" he told her and she smacked her teeth.

"Listen maybe we should do this studio session another time" Nicki suggested and he cleared his throat.

"Okay" he said simply standing up grabbing Adam's diaper bag.

"So it's like that huh" Nicki asked, she thought he was gone at least try to stay.

"I mean what, you said reschedule so I'm cool with that. I'm fend to go home and chill with my son" August told her as he walked to the door.

"Alright whatever August" Nicki told him and he left the studio.

Payton was calling August but he didn't answer. She was headed over there even though it was almost 2 in the morning. She was at the ocean as always. She got there and got out.

"He better be dead sleep yo." She said as she rung the doorbell.

"What you doing here" she heard August say as she stood in front of the ring doorbell.

"August why you not answering the phone" she asked him as she smiled into the camera.

"I was sleep." He told her and she heard him coming to the door.

"Why you didn't use your key" he asked as he opened the door.

"I respect your privacy" she told him as she walked in.

"It's almost three why you out" he asked as he followed her into the room.

"I'm going to Brooklyn tomorrow... I need more clothes." She told him as she walked in the closet.

"Don't take the sweatshirts" he told her as they walked in the closet and he sat down.

"I'll leave you two" she told him as she got her Nike bag from beside the door.

"How long you gone be gone" he asked her and she shrugged.

"Til it's time for me to get Adam again" she told him and August stood up and walked out the closet.

While she packed, August checked on Adam and kissed him. He was happy to be a father and he wanted his son to know it. He went to the living room and sat down on the couch. He put his AirPods in listened to the song he wrote.

"Yo August I'm about to go" Payton walked out with her bag on her shoulder.

"August" Payton dropped her bag and walked over to him.

"August what's going on" Payton asked as she sat down beside him.

"I miss you Payton. Seeing you drop Adam off and each time your happier than the last time. I love to see it but I want to be apart of it." he told her and she sigh.
