October 2019

*Casey's POV*

"Ok, and just sign here." The lady said. I signed the papers. "Congrats, Natalia is officially under your care." She smiled at me. I returned the gesture. "Thanks."

(Let's say that's how it works bc ion know shi😃)

With that I got in my car and left to pick Nat up from daycare. It's around 12pm so she's been there for four hours.

When her eyes landed on me she ran to hug me. I got down to her level so that I could give her a proper hug. "I miss you." She cutely sighed into my neck.

"I missed you too baby. Wanna go to Bil Bil's house?" "Yes!" She perked up and dragged me out. When we got there she knocked, screaming for Billie to open the door.

Once the door was opened Nat jumped into Billie's arms. "Hi sweet girl." She kissed my sisters head and told me to go in. I kissed Billie's cheek before going to say hi to her parents.

"Hi hun, how'd it go?" Maggie gave me a warm hug. "It was good, I need your opinion on something." I said nervously.

"What is it?." Maggie gave me a comforting smile. "I'm thinking about selling the house and moving into an apartment." "I think that's a wise choice, it'll make you feel better." Maggie told me.

"Thank you Mama Maggie, I appreciate it." We hugged for a while. "Alright now go, I'm cooking." She shooed me away.

With a chuckle I went to Billie's room, she was sitting on the bed with Nat as they talked about random stuff. We decided to cuddle and watch a movie.

*next day at school*

Ms. Robinson received a call, when she hung up her head turned towards me. "Office." I dusted my pants off and made my way to the office.

"I was summoned." I spoke as I entered the office. "Oh, great you're here. Come." The principal urged me to her office. "Sit." She motioned to a chair in front of her desk and I complied.

"I was looking at your grades...they don't look good Casey. At this rate you won't be able to graduate." She delivered the news, a sympathetic look on her face.

"Is that all?" I pushed my emotions down and tried to sound as nonchalant as possible. "Yes, you may go." With that, I stood up and went back to class.

At lunch Zaidee and Bil kept asking me questions. "Can you drop it!? Please." I sorta lashed out. I'm not in the mood for this. "I'll be back." I muttered before standing up and heading outside.

I simply sat in my car, contemplating about going home and crying. Deciding instead to take a few deep breaths before going inside again.

By the time I was inside lunch was over so I just went to class. Seeing my girlfriends sat at the back of the room, I walked over to them with a warm smile.

After school the three of us climbed into my car and headed to pick Nat up. I then drove us to my house.

In the kitchen I decided to finally speak up about the issue. "I'm sorry for acting like that earlier." They both gave me sympathetic looks.

"Can you tell us what happened?" Billie asked hopping on the counter to sit next to my sister. I shrugged. "I'm just overwhelmed and I might not be able to graduate. Then I have Nat and I'm trynna sell the house, everything is just building up. I've been distant, I know I have and I'm sorry for that too." I ranted slightly.

"Baby, it's ok calm down. You don't have to go through this alone." Zaidee cupped my cheeks, looking into my eyes.

"You have us and we love you so fucking much Casey." Billie spoke sincerely. "You're not slipping away that easily." She joked.

I let a little chuckle slip. "I love you guys too, anyways enough of the sappy shit. Natty what do you wanna eat bug?" Changing the topic quickly, I started moving around the kitchen.

"I no hungry, I sleep." She quietly mumbled. "You wanna go up to bed?" "No, I stay here wiff you guys." Her fists balled up and rubbed her eyes.

"Go get her cleaned up, we'll make some food." Zai whispered in my ear before kissing my cheek. "Thanks." I took Nat in my arms and went up to her room.

I got the bath ready for her and added some bubbles. She took her clothes off and slowly got in.

Her knees clutched to her chest as she looked down at the bubbles. I frowned at her behavior, but I understand what she's going through.

She's young and Nat might not completely understand, of course she has some sort of idea but what do you expect from a toddler.

I cleaned her up, the only sounds filling the restroom was the water swishing and little sniffles she would let out at times.

She picked out a hoodie and sweats, I then helped her change. My arms wrapped around her small body again, now picking her up.

Her head immediately tucked into my neck and she instantly started crying. I sat on her bed as my heart broke.

She's too precious to go through stuff like this. "I miss her." She muttered out weakly before letting a small sob escape. "I wan' her back." Her hold tightened on me.

"Hey look at me." I forced her arms to let me go and cupped her face with my right hand. Her blood shot brown eyes stared into mine.

"I wish we could bring her back, I really do but that's not how it works." I wiped her wet face with my left hand. "Baby people come and go, there's nothing we can do about it but move on and cherish the memories we have in here." I pointed to her heart.

She gave me a weak nod. "Can we go see her?" "Sure baby, but can you eat for me first?" Nat smiled and nodded. "I love you." She hugged me.

"I love you too, bug." I reciprocated and we pulled away several minutes later. "Let's go eat." We ran downstairs to see the food already done and set for us to eat.

Nat left to go sit down next to Zaidee. Billie was still in the kitchen, cleaning. I walked up behind her and wrapped my arms around her waist.

My head took its place in the crook of her neck as I gave her delicate kisses. She sighed, leaning into me. "I'll clean up later, let's go sit down princess."

"But I still-." "It wasn't a question." I took her hands making her drop whatever she had on the counter and dragged her to the table.

After dinner my girlfriends went home but not before we made plans for tomorrow. Natalia ran down with her shoes in hand.

"Helps." She handed them to me and I helped her put them on. We then got in the car and I drove us to the graveyard.

It's getting dark out but I'd do anything if it makes Nat feel better. We hop off and walk to over to moms tombstone.

"Hi mommy." I heard her softly whisper. She fixed the flowers that had been put out of place by the wind. I sat on the grass feeling a light breeze that made me get goosebumps.

Natalia sat on my lap after she was done fixing the flowers. "All done." She smiled as her eyes got watery.

"Tell her about your day, Nat." My voice urged her a little as I played with her hair. "Uhm...I met a nice girl at daycare. I thinks her name is Dove." She pondered.

"Den she asked me to be her friend and gave me a cookie." And that's how we spent our night, talking to mom. We didn't go home until Natty fell unconscious on my lap.
