"So," Bey said, her and Amaris getting themselves ready for their departure, "she really knew it was you the entire time?"

"Yeah," Amaris chuckled. "Of course, she had some questions. But I explained everything to her. And she's given me her blessing to continue with you and baby girl. Whenever she awakens, anyway."

Bey looked the ebony's way before smiling appreciatively, going over to kiss her cheek.

"Hopefully, soon. I want her to actually enjoy this vacation with us. That, and I wanna talk to her. For real, this time."

Amaris chuckled before turning around to gently hold the blonde's face, using her thumbs to caress her cheek bones.

"She'll come back to us soon, darlin'. With everything falling into place, it's only a matter of time..."

Bey smiled as she brought Amaris in for a kiss. Amaris wrapped her arms around the blonde's neck as she deepened the kiss.

Just as their lip lock grew heated, a soft knock on the door sounded. They smoothly separated as Idris and Kelly opened the door, nothing but smiles as they cheekily toyed with one another.

"Ya'll 'bout gross as hell..." Bey said, pulling Amaris close to her, "...ya'll couldn't at least wait until we got to the boat?"

"Cut the shit, Bey," Kelly giggled. "We both heard you and Mani go at it practically all night, last night."

"Not to mention you're the pot callin' the kettle black," Idris smirked, wrapping himself around his mate from behind. "Let's not pretend like you're not a nympho..."

Amaris's eyebrow quirked up before playfully glaring at Bey, looking between her and Idris.

"...I see we'll have to go on a double date on this vacation so one of ya'll can spill the tea," she chuckled, her voice sounding just like Normani.

"Oh, absolutely," Kelly played along. "I'm surprised she hasn't told you about their little history."

"Alright," the blonde interrupted. "I'll meet ya'll at the portal."

Amaris and Kelly chuckled before conversing amongst themselves, Idris making his way to Bey before striding alongside her.

"In all seriousness..." he said to her, "...are you okay with me and your sister being together? I mean, there's nothing I can do about it, but I do love her. The imprint happened so naturally and-"

"Hey," Bey interrupted, chuckling some before turning to face the dark prince. "You can stop stressin'. You know I'm not the jealous type."

Idris side-eyed her before pursing his lips.

"...anymore," Bey clarified. "I haven't really told Mani about it cause I didn't think she'd wanna know."

"Well, it looks like she's quite eager to. At least, Amaris is. How's that going, by the way?"

"Fine, actually. I understand why she's here. Grant it, I triggered her into being, but she's been patient with me while makin' sure Mani is okay while she's still goin' through her spiritual awakening."

"You know when she'll be back to normal?"

"That's the thing. This will be her new normal. She won't just be Normani, anymore. She'll be...more..."

Idris smiled knowingly as they waited for their mates to join them.

"I believe that's what we've been waiting for," he said. "Even if some of us didn't realize it."
