Mom helped me in the car. Sara-Ana didn't tell her about my episode, which I was glad for. Riding down the jammed streets of California, I play Crossy Road.

"So...how's the sex?"

I get ran over by a train in the game. Mom looks at me like she didn't even say anything wrong.

"Mom, what kind of question is that?"

"A concerned one, how is it? You have hormones moving all over, Shailene answer the freaking question."

"Great," I say finally. "His kisses are like a fluffy pillow. Is that what you want to hear?"

Mom pressed the gas pedal. "I'm your mother. I should be involved in your life."

"Not all of it!"

"Chill. Do you have any secrets that you have been hiding from me? You're acting unusual."

"DRIVE MOM. PLEASE!!" I shout. "GOD,"

"Yeah- GOD is up there. Do you want to meet him?" She sternly stares me down.

I shrink down in my seat.

Later that night

Belle kept me up with her wailing. I gave her the breathing treatment she needed, and other medications. I don't bother to wake up Theo to save him the rest he needed.

"Belle, baby..." I coo. "Stop crying."

I cradle her in my arms, going on the balcony under the satin moonlight. Stars glisten on her eyes. She focuses on my ring on my ring finger.

"Shiny, huh?"

"Ma-" She started.

My heart beats faster than a ticking bomb.
MAMA. Come on and say it!!

"Mama," she says. "Mama, Dada."

I yell yes out loud, hugging her tightly. Soon there would be another one. Another Mama, Dada. Ah, starting again.

Hey guys! So this was a fill in part of the story, a longer one tomorrow. My voice is gone for the past few days. Good thing I have racing thoughts about cuddly cute SHEO moments.

Yes, the wedding will be emotional.

THOU FEELS SHALL COME.

PEACE.
