Jayde stood over the stove making her and Jace breakfast in Julian's kitchen while talking on the phone with Serene giving her the details from their trip to Bali. Julian was back at work , and Jayde was missing him already.
"Bitch it seem like I ain't talk to you in foreva. I miss my bitch." Serene whined through the phone , expressing how much she missed her best friend. "I got hella news to tell you , but I want you to tell me yo tea first girl. How was the Bali trip?"
"It was so good girl, everything was beautiful and romantic. He asked me to be his girlfriend and gave me a promise ring. Ima send you a picture." She said taking a photo of her hand , sending it to Serene.
"Oh ma gawddd! That shìt is niceeeee! It looks like a engagement ring Jay! I'm so happy for you." Serene yelled through the phone.
Jayde smiled , thinking about that night all over again. "Thanks sista. I love him so much I can't even begin to describe how I feel. I love everything about him."
"You go girl! I knew you could find someone. I love this for youuuu!"
"Thanks sis. So what's your tea?" Jayde said flipping the pancakes over to make sure they were done on both sides.
Serene cleared her throat , " Well since we sendin' pictures. Check ya phone bitch."
Jayde placed the pancakes on the plates , turned the stove off and checked her phone. Serene sent 2 attachments; one of an ultrasound and another of her hand with a ring on it.
"Bitch! What?! You're pregnant and Davon proposed?! Bitch I cannot believe this!" Jayde squealed with excitement.
"Yessss bitch he did all this when you was out of town. I found out I was pregnant the day before Jace's party I just wanted to wait to tell everybody. Girl I'm so happy!" Serene said.
"I'm so happy for you too and I'm about to be a God mommy! I can't wait to plan the baby shower and all girl."

Julian was on his hour lunch break , hoping he could talk to his girlfriend during the time being. Jayde told him that she was on the phone with Serene , so he let her have her girl talk and told her he'd see her later.
Julian worked for a big construction company, which is why he was so good with his hands. His ex girlfriend Micah has been blowing his phone up since he came back from the trip. They dated for five years and Julian decided to end it because they were heading down two paths of life. Micah didn't want marriage or children while Julian did. Instead she wanted to party and flirt with guys , and he was more reserved and didn't mind being at home doing nothing with his lady.
"What Micah? I told yo ass to stop callin' me." Julian angrily said to her. He went to sit in his car after he ate his lunch, he didn't want his coworkers in his business.
"M-My mom died." She said in a dry tone. He could tell she was crying. Micah's mother had cancer and she knew her mom was going to get better. No one could tell she was sick most times.
"Shit Mickey I'm sorry to hear that." Julian said referring to her nickname.
"Ju. I don't know what ima do. Please can I see you? I literally have no one." She asked , sounding like she was about to cry again. Julian felt so bad because everyone loved mama Grace; from the church , neighborhood and even her local grocery stores and schools. She was an exceptional woman all around. Julian was damn near on the verge of crying with her.
"I'll check up on you when I get off work. Keep yo head up Mickey. It's gon be ok. Aight?" He said , hating that she was crying so hard through the phone. Damn.
