A Walking Nightmare

a brand new day

The cool-windy breeze blew pleasantly matching the speed of the moving vehicle, a pair of beautiful, moisture hands gripped gently at the steering wheel before moving her evenly clipped, toffee painted nails to tap against the wheel. The woman chances a glance at the review mirror to watch for traffic following behind, her aviator sunglasses sat perfectly on her face, the red lipstick glistening against the Autumn season before focusing on the road ahead of her. The black Maserati soon comes to a stop in front of a black gated house. She presses a button from inside her car before being greeted by a voice.

'Welcome back home Dr. Knowles'

The gates opened inwards after the greeting to give her passage to drive the vehicle through, closing right after the car drove past the barrier. The driver drove the Maserati inside the garage, cutting off the engine and grabbing for her belongings and stepping out the vehicle. A click sounded indicating the doors to the car was locked before another opens leading inside the house.

Six inch heels clicked and clacked against the beautifully designed flooring. The woman smiles as she was greeted by the sounds of gentle music and decided to follow it.

The music led her to the open conservatory where she found a sight she couldn't help but to smile and melt at. Her eyes shined with love as she watched her wife softly rock their son to sleep. She leaned against the door framed and watched with a wide smile.

She couldn't believe how lucky she has gotten in life, she never thought she would ever get where she is now, a beautiful family and a job of her dream. As she watched lost in her thoughts, she failed to notice the object of her thoughts had spotted her.

"Penny for your thoughts?"

Onika jumped a little by the gentle but deep voice that spoke and smiled.

"I was simply admiring..." she shrugs moving toward her hearts desire until she was standing in front of her wife. The heels she wore helped in almost evening the height difference so she didn't tip toe much to press her lips onto the other woman. Mindful of the toddler rested in between them.

"Hi..."

"Hi..."

The smile both wore radiated and represented the love between them. Deep eyes stared longingly into each other, unable to look away as if it'll be their last.

"And how's my perfect baby"

Her eyes dipped down at the sleeping child, smiling fondly at the pout on his face. Her poor baby has not been dealing well with this new stage of his life...teething.

She scopes his hair away from his face placing a gentle kiss against his temple. His curls has become a bit of a menace since they haven't decided to give him his first haircut yet.

"He is not being a fan of being put down so here we are"

"His temperature has gone down a little so that's a good"

She observes pulling her hand away from his forehead before letting out a sigh of relief. Hopefully tonight will be a good one compared to last night's sleepless one.

The two watched their son sleep silently for a moment before it was broken up.

"How was your meeting?"

She had almost forgotten that's where she had come from. The hospital board had requested her presence as they needed to talk about the future of the hospital. Since she was still on her maternity leave, her wife had rescheduled all her meetings for work and stayed with their wife.

"Lawrence is retiring, and the board wants me to be the director"

Beyoncé quickly looked up at her wife's words, her eyes popping out in amazement, a wide smile spreading across her face
