"Tink, chill." Taylor said as tried to put Cali's onesie on but she kept whining and moving her head. "You don't wanna put this on?"

Cali looked at her father with her baby doll eyes. "Dada."

"Aight, you don't have to put it on. We're not going anywhere anyway. Just don't pull off your diaper this time." Taylor said. He placed Cali down on her feet and she happily took off as fast as her chubby legs could.

Taylor followed behind her as they joined Zuri and Karis in the living room. Zuri was crying as Karis comforted her. Cali began to cry after seeing her big sister cry. She did not like seeing anyone upset—especially Zuri.

"What's going on?" Taylor asked as he picked Cali up.

Karis sighed. "Zuri wants to go over to Killian's house, but I found out he blocked my number when I tried to call and text him. She's upset because I can't get in touch with him."

Taylor went to their bedroom where his phone was charging and quickly called Killian. However, he was blocked too. "Ain't this about a bitch." He mumbled. He called Raya who answered on the third ring.

"Hello?" Raya said.

"What's up?" Taylor said.

"Nothing really. Just got home." Raya replied. "What's going on? I hear Cali whining."

"Are you with Killian?" Taylor asked.

"I think he went to drop Jonah off at Jaxon's place." Raya said.

"Well, Z wants to see him but he blocked my number and Karis' number." Taylor told her.

"I mean—I understand why he would block Karis' number, but I don't understand why he blocked your number." Raya said.

Taylor sucked his teeth. "I don't care how upset I am at someone. I'm not going to block their number and risk my bond with their kids—especially when they call me uncle and I've been there since birth."

"I just think we should stay out of it." Raya replied.

"I told myself that I was going to stay out of it after Cali's little get together until I walked in on Z crying. You let him know what's going on and we'll see what happens." Taylor said.

"I'm staying out of it, Taylor!" Raya snapped.

Taylor chuckled. "Aight, man. I'll talk to you later." He hung up and began to rock Cali to sleep as she continued to whine. If this is what Karis and Killian's relationship was coming to, then so be it. Was Karis being stubborn? Yes; however, Killian knew that blocking them would put his relationship with the kids at risk. Seeing Zuri upset about all of this foolishness placed the icing on the cake.

"I'm sorry you had to spend your birthday alone, mamas." Amaru said as he held Heather in his arms.

During the time Amaru was at Killian's place, he missed Heather's birthday. Mya, Kennedi, Cynthia, and Dear tried to cheer her up by cooking dinner and baking her a cake, but all she wanted was her husband.

Amaru felt terribly for leaving Heather at home to suffer alone. He thought he was creating peace, but he just made things worse. Heather's mental health was in shambles. He found a couple of scars on her arms and wrists. The guilt was eating her alive and he didn't know how to help.

Heather sniffled as she continued to rest her head on his chest. "I want a divorce." She said softly.

Amaru quickly sat up and looked at her. "A divorce? W—why do you want a divorce?"
