[A/N: this is the final chapter before the epilogue!
I am considering a storyline for the sequel but I'm not sure if you guys gonna like it cause it might not be gxg. I always finish my books but I'll ask after the epilogue if you like the sneak peak and if I'll change it before I actually publish it.]

Trina's POV
"Oh you got it babygirl, just like that." I encourage Niquey who drizzles chocolate over a bunch of chopped up fruits. She sticks her tongue out and focuses, mirroring me with a smile. Her side tooth has finally grown in since she lost it in September so all of her teeth are showing when she turns to me grinning. Though, her canine is getting loose now so she's going to have another gap again.
"I made it pretty?" she asks, lifting a little piece to my mouth. I smile and nod, accepting the bite.
"Mine is ugly..." Shawnee frowns, looking at her misshapen fruit and chocolate lumps.
"Shut up, it tastes good at least." I take a piece and feed her, making her shrug and nod.
"Okay, I'll put them in the mini freezer. Go put on a movie and I'll get the other snacks." Shawnee says before disappearing to the little corner where we have a mini-fridge for drinks so we don't have to go all the way downstairs.
Our place is actually so beautiful. I know we never really talked about it but I appreciate Shawnee so much for getting the perfect little two story place for us, with a very spacious basement. It's perfect. So far, we have only switched out the cabinets downstairs and gotten some fresh countertops but little by little, Shawnee brings home tools and carpentry from work, learning how to build chairs and woodworking with small sculptures to get used to it.
She's even made a few wooden spoons and sealed them, always eating cereal and criticizing her own work. Everyday is improvement she works on in private and every second is me appreciating the things she doesn't see about herself.
Either way, I get into the couch and pull Niquey into my lap, kissing her cheek.
"Tweena? I have a qwestion. How did you get the baby?" Niquey innocently asks, making me nearly spit my milkshake.
"Nique?! Where that come from?!" I laugh, wiping my lips. She smiles and shrugs.
"I don know, I was thinking cause my fwends said babies comes from nasty stuff." She lifts an eyebrow, confused still. More laughter comes from me and Shawnee returns with no movie being on yet.
"What I miss?" She asks and Niquey covers my mouth so she doesn't know.
"It's nothing! Shhhh! L-l-look movie." She quickly presses something on the Disney app and Shawnee approaches with skepticism.
"Mm okay. Here's your chips babygirl." Shawnee hands her a bag of sour cream and onion ridges.
"Thanks..." she mumbles, stuffing a chip in her mouth and getting shy as she glances at me. I whisper to her not to worry about it and that I'm not mad so she nods, cuddling up to me and letting me lay my head on Shawnee's chest until we're all tuckered out from listening to music, dancing and eating all of our desserts.
After getting 'happy birthday' sung to me, Shawnee brings me downstairs to look at my next gift but has my eyes covered the whole time.
"Shawnee what is it?" I'm blind to my surroundings.
"You'll see."
"Babygirl! Tell me!" I call out for help from Niquey.
"Noooo," she refuses. I just suck my teeth and continue walking until we're outside and I'm cold.
