"yeah just put it right over there." i rubbed the sleep out of my eyes. the movers for the couch had come at the ass crack of dawn and i was the only one to hear the buzzer. we would have had the couch earlier if i had gotten a basic ass couch but i had this couch imported from rome and the shipping was delayed. the movers did what i asked and i yawned, leaning against the wall.

armin, sasha and niccolo were still sleep upstairs and i decided to start breakfast. i walked over to the kitchen that was off in the cut but still gave me a view of the movers. i was a little stressed because of everything that was happening; annie still trynna sue me, moving all of my sets for work to new york, and jasmine giving birth.

once armin and i saw the baby which was a week ago, we took another flight to get to new york since we stopped in virginia. the penthouse was ready for me to go in since sasha and niccolo had been there for a while. they had did some of the decorating and sasha did some grocery shopping which i was grateful for. i was sleepy and honestly could go back to sleep but i had a call with zeke today for some of the final preparations for the trial so i opted to stay up.

"okay, you're all set." one of the movers said through the cut out that connected the dinning room and the kitchen. "thank you, have a nice day!" i smiled as they walked out. i locked the door behind them and went back to the kitchen.

"oooo, the couch. you did such a good job." sasha came from down the hall and plopped down on it. "and it's soft!" i rolled my eyes and took out some bacon. "well i wouldn't get a uncomfortable couch." i stated in a duh tone as i turned on the oven. "anything else coming in?" she asked.

i thought for a moment, knowing that i could get a little amazon happy. "uhh i don't know, i gotta check my phone." i answered, moving on to making the eggs and pancakes. "i don't work until 3 but i don't know about the other boys." she got up to come join me in the kitchen. "well, i have a call with zeke for the annie stuff--." sasha did a puking sound and i laughed. "that is at 12 and armin goes to work around 1." i explained and she nodded. "okay, niccolo goes to work around 5, 6 if they don't need him early at the bar."

"okay, and then i leave to work some shit out with my studio and office." i sighed. "stressful?" sasha asked, reaching over to grab some fruit in the fruit bowl. "yes and it really shouldn't be, sash. like i gave the movers everything i needed and what i needed moved and how it should be moved and they are causing problems." i ranted, frustrated with how things were going with my job. my management weren't happy that i had moved to new york. i thought they were gonna be happy considering that there are more opportunities out here unlike virginia but i guess not.

"i'm sure it'll be fine..." sasha said and i gave her a look. i sat back on the counter as i waiting for everything to be done. "have you talked to jasmine?" she questioned and i shook my head. "calls keep going straight to voice mail. i tried calling connie but he just tells me to give her some time. but like, how much time am i gonna give her, for real?" i rhetorically asked, rolling my eyes. "i couldn't have gazed into the future to know when she was gonna give birth. i had no idea she was gonna give birth while i was on a plane." i explained to sasha.

she nodded, understanding. "i get that but jasmine might be going through a little more than what we think. post partum depression is a thing." sasha informed. i sighed through my nose as armin and niccolo came out of their respective rooms and came into the kitchen. "smells good, my love." armin came to kiss my temple and i smiled. "yoooo that couch looks comfy as fuck." niccolo commented as he sat next to sasha.
