Two years later
Walking up the stairs and into the room, Gabrielle sighs as she see's her husband and son lying down sleep.
She smiles as she quietly makes her way to the dresser and pulls out a pair of shorts and a tank top.
She grabs everything needed before heading inside the bathroom and closing the door.
She strips from her previous clothes and turns the shower on. Before getting in, she washed her face and puts her shower cap on.
"Alexa play As It Was by Harry Styles." Gabrielle says aloud to her Alexa as she steps inside the shower.
The music starts making her smile and nod through washing herself.
-𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐫𝐭𝐲 𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐮𝐭𝐞𝐬 𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐫-Gabrielle is out the shower and drying herself. She grabs her moisturizer and lotions her face and doing the same to her body with her coconut lotion.
She takes her shower cap off and puts it back in the drawer. Putting her clothes on, she leaves out the bathroom after throwing her dirty clothes in the dirty clothes hamper.
Opening the bathroom door, she peeps that her family is still asleep making her smile and walk out the room and downstairs.
After two years her and Lorenzo are still going strong. They've had their baby and to say it was a beautiful baby boy would be an understatement.
Their son-Giovani-took mostly after their father. He has the same green eyes, black curly hair, and dimple in his right cheek.
He did take after Gabrielle with her face shape, her lips, and her ears.
There baby is the epitome of beautiful.
Grabbing the pots and pans out of the cabinet, she places them on top on the stove.
Grabbing the chicken from the fridge, she gets started on washing it, seasoning it, then adding it to the pan with the butter already melted on it.
The sizzling of the chicken makes her smile before she stirs it around. Filling the other pan up with water, she waits for it to heat up before adding rice.
The sound of footsteps hitting the stairs has her smile forming brighter as she turns around and captures her son in a hug.
"Ah my love, how are you? How was your nap with daddy?" Gabrielle eagerly questions as they sit down at the bar.
Lorenzo takes over mixing the food around after kissing his wife on the forehead.
"It was good mommy." Giovani smiles a toothless front tooth smile as he wraps his arms around her neck.
She stands with him in her arms before going over to the stove and leaning her head on Lorenzo's arm.
"How was work bellissima?" Lorenzo ask as he plants another kiss on her head.
"It was fine. A little stressful but good."
She started a hair business a couple months after having her son and since then, her business has been growing tremendously.
People book appointments left and right.
"That's good. I have work tomorrow at the office so I won't be back until probably seven. So I'll bring dinner home so we can eat together okay."
Nodding she kisses his cheek before setting their son on the ground and grabbing plates out the cabinet.
Making each plate, she sets them at the table before they're all seated and laughing while eating together as a family.

"Nicole Lee McKenzie put that down." Gabrielle shouts out as she hurries and takes the tv remote from Ethan and Ayla's daughter.
Their daughter is three years old and is a big fan of getting into any trouble she can think of.
Just like Ayla.
"Ethan come get your bad child." Lorenzo's voice bellows through the hallway as he strides through it, kissing his wife on the lips before taking the child from her.
He hands her to her father before wrapping his arms around his wife's waist.
"Bad." Gasps out an exasperated Ethan as he looks between the two. "She is not bad, just in her terrible twos right now."
Gabrielle raises a brow before tsking. "Okay if that's what you call it sweetie."
"Oh hush nappy head."
"Nappy head. White cracker."
"Black monkey."
A gasp is heard before the two get to shoving each other before Enzo drags her away.
"Okay enough, both of you. Ethan go to the kitchen, you ma'am go to the living room."
Huffing, Gabrielle takes up her child and walks into the living room. "Your daddy's being unfair."
She whispers to Giovani as he smiles at her with an adorable look on his face. "You are too cute oh my gosh."

Later on in the day, Gabrielle, Lorenzo, Ethan, and Ayla all sit around at a restaurant table with their children beside them.
Ayla decided that she wanted to take them out to tell them some news that her and Ethan had been keeping secret for some time now.
The giggling of the two kids has Ayla smiling sadly before clearing her throat, gaining the attention of the rest of the family.
"Um me and Ethan have news. He wanted to share it though." Ayla quickly speaks out, sipping her sprite.
A gasp erupts from him making her kick him in the leg. "Ow okay." He clears his throat before mustering up the courage and spitting it out.
"Me and Ayla are moving. Not far just two hours away because of her new job offer." Ethan briefly explains, watching the faces of his two best friends.
"Congratulations oh my gosh."
"Congratulations Ayla."
Gabrielle gets up from her seat and rounds the table, grabbing her up into a hug as they giggle. "I'm so happy for you best friend."
"Thank you pretty. I'm really going to miss you guys." She talks before sniffling out as tears form in her eyes.
"Aw it's okay. Well come visit you already know that. Plus we have some news too." Gabrielle explains before motioning for Enzo to stand up.
Ayla looks between them then at her husband who is sipping his drink and playing with their daughter.
"I'm pregnant again." A push to the shoulder then being taken into a hug has her laughing.
"Oh my gosh I'm so happy."
"I love you guys." Gabrielle cries out as everyone joins the hug-including the kids.
"We love you too."
