With her feet softly hitting the floors of her apartment—Essence walked into her kitchen humming along to Partynextdoor. She had woken up early this morning to cook herself breakfast and have her morning tea like usual before her life had gotten so hectic the past couple of months. Essence was focused on getting back to herself while trying to maintain her stress. Today all she had on her agenda was going to see Desiree to explain some things regarding the case to her, she was hanging out with Dasia, and she had homework to complete before midnight.

Walking over to her cabinet, she grabbed her Luke's mug out. She grabbed herself one of her pink pots and filled it up halfway with water before sitting it on her stove to boil. Going to her fridge, she grabbed eggs, bacon, spinach, and her fresh mushrooms out to make herself an omelette.

When she had started to make the omelette after preparing everything—she furrowed her eyebrows hearing a knock at her door. Walking over to her ring camera Ipad, she damn near tripped trying to get to the door after seeing who it was. Pulling it open, she practically jumped in David's arms.

"Hi Babygirl." David smiled as he held her tightly.

Pulling back from him, Essence smiled. "What are you doing here? It's early and you aren't you and mama supposed to be getting ready to go to Belize."

David chuckled and stepped in shutting the door behind himself. "I had to come check on my Babygirl." He said while following behind her into the kitchen.

Essence sighed. "What has Indiya told you..." She asked while going to take her omelette out. She then grabbed her boiling water off the stove and build it into the mug with her tea bag before going to grab her honey.

David sat down in one of the chairs. "Indiya? Nothing. Bryheim? Everything." He said. "And best believe I broke his fucking face in."

"Pops!" Essence said turning around to him. "I hope you're joking about that."

David stale faced her. "I'm not. I already told Bry what would happen if he ever hurt you. My som or not, you're like a daughter to me. You know this. Just because he's my son doesn't mean he'll get treated any different than any of the other men you date. He knew better for what he did. Your mother got with him as well." He expressed. "I wanted to come check on you because I know how heartbreaks can be and I never want my girls to feel like they have to deal with them alone."
