Walking up, he held sleeping Azoni up on his chest as he approached his wife's bedroom. He could overhear her instructing her assistant on what to pack in each suitcase as he turned in. He watched her help as well with the several open suitcases on the floor.

"Damn, is you movin on tour?" Tae asked jokingly.

Shantey looked over to her husband in the midst of bending over. She chuckled, walking over to him and giving him several kisses on the lips. "This gonna be forty cities in eleven states, I gotta pack all my comfy clothes, all my toiletries, hair products, ya know."

"Mhmm. Hey, Jules." Tae greeted his wife's longtime assistant.

"Hey, Tavon."

"Won't you have a stylist, though?" Tae asked, continuing his questioning.

"Yeah, for my stage clothes." Shantey clarified and he chuckled. "How long has this little munchkin been sleep?" She smooches Azoni's cheek as he snored lightly.

"Not long. Seona sleep?"

"You bouta hit the road." Sino announced.

"How'd the kids take it?" Jasmine questioned, "I know you drove em to school this morning."

Shantey was moving from the pantry to filling the two snack bags. "They all wanted to go. Kendra and Kory like it when they was on it with me the last few days. Ken and Cru wants to go but can't, and Ameer cried when I dropped him off at his preschool."
