it was a calm day. nothing too eventful during this tuesday afternoon as most of us were in the living room watching t.v and talking. i had my legs over armin's as i laid my head on kiana's lap. eren was sitting next to kiana's legs while she was running her fingers through his hair. deja was out at the restaurant and getting kiana's wedding food catering finalized. the only two that weren't here was jasmine and connie.

those two were running errands like house shopping, doctor appointments and other adult things. it was weird to see jasmine doing things that didn't require drinking, smoking or cursing me out. :). anyway, i knew and everyone else knew that connie and jasmine were gonna leave first. even though kiana and eren were getting married first, jasmine and connie would need a place to raise their child.

everyone was figuring out what the hell was gonna happen once we split up since we had been together for half of our lives. i was wondering where armin and i were gonna be once our trip in egypt was done.

it was causing mayhem in my brain.

"kota," armin tapped my leg and i picked my head up to look at him. "your phone is going off." i furrowed my eyebrows and sat up. i didn't have my phone on me since it was charging on the side table next to armin. "who is it?" i asked and he leaned over to look at the contact. "your dad."

i climbed over armin, disconnected my phone and sat back down. i answered it and ran my fingers through my braids. "hello?" i answered hesitantly since me and my father haven't talked in a while. matter of fact, i hadn't talked to my parents since jasmine went to the hospital back before christmas.

"hey dakota...you have some time to talk?"

"uhh yeah, like over the phone or in person?"

"in person. i landed in virginia last night and i wanted to deliver this news to you and your sister personally." he spoke lowly and my heart rate started to pick up. "is everything okay?" i questioned and there was silence on the other end of the phone. it caused me to get up and go into the kitchen to breathe a little.

"dad? is something wrong?" i asked again. "just a problem that happened that i wanted to address." he was being very cryptic and i held my forehead in my hand. "okay...does jasmine know? have you called her?"

"no, could you tell her? i don't wanna cause her any stress." my parents did know that jasmine was pregnant but after our mother became a little bit overbearing about it all, she continued to distance herself from her. our father on the other hand had constant contact with us.

however, i couldn't tell what the problem was.

"okay, i'll tell her. when do you wanna meet?"

"early in the morning if possible."

"okay...uh...i'll talk to jasmine about it."

"thank you, honey, i love you."

"i love you too."

i hung up and set my phone down, sighing. "baby? what happened?" armin asked as he walked towards me. i rubbed my face, "my dad called and said he had some news. won't tell me what it is. asked me to tell jasmine about it and we are gonna meet with him tomorrow." i explained. "wait, he's in virginia?" he asked and i nodded. "he got in last night. lord, i can't have one day. one day without something happening."

armin pulled me into a hug and i inhaled his scent. it was comforting, it warmed my heart. "i'm sure it's gonna be okay, my love." he pulled away to cup my jaw in his hands, placing a kiss down my face from my forehead to the tip of my nose and finally my lips.

the door opened and i looked over to see jasmine and connie walking in. "welcome back couple. how was running errands?" kiana asked. "boring like always," connie groaned but jasmine pinched him on the arm. "fun! they were so much fun." eren shook his head at the man and laughed.
