The Love That We Deserve

Sabi Baby

Season16x07

"SABI!!!!" I run into my cousins arms. She squeals and wraps her arms tightly around me.

"BABY!!!" We both pull away from each other. "Omg I love your hair!" She runs her hand over my box braids. "Love the color too!"

"Thank you!" Smile at her then look over to my grumpy uncle. "Hey uncle Chris." I walk up to the man and give him a hug.

"Hey lil Einstein."

He pats my back and we pull away that's when I finally noticed Maggie. "Oh, uh hey Maggie." She waves at me and I look at all of them. "What's happening here?"

"Did you know that this is Richard's niece? Well duh of course you did you called him uncle." She takes a deep breath.

"Isn't it crazy that we both look alike we're basically twins!" She squeals joyfully as she holds my hand. "She is gonna take us to see uncle Richard. Did you know that he doesn't work here anymore?"

"Unfortunately, I do." I play with my fingers as I remember the moment he got fired. "So how long are you staying in town Pablo misses you and you have yet to meet the twins."

"Let me see some pictures." I giggle and pull my phone out showing her pictures of our Halloween. "Aw, look at them two little cotton candy balls." She smiles and shows uncle Chris. "They don't look anything like you."

"Yeah, thanks for pointing that out." I huffed. "I carried those babies for 8 months and they come out looking exactly like their father."

"I want to come over to see them. How about after I go see uncle Richard I can come over and see them."

"Yeah that sounds great I can make your favorites and we can make a night of it." I give them an all a hug. "Call me when you are done with everything." I start to get a page. "Crap, I have to go."

"Yeah go, Baby, you go and be your beautiful, genius, badass, chief self. I'll text you later."

"Ok bye." I wave as I start to run down the hall.

After finishing with my surgery and a consult. I convinced Owen to take the rest of the day off so we can set up for dinner with Sabi and my uncle. After dining all the shopping we go and make our last stop and pick up Pablo from the Academy. Owen and I wait in the car as he rubs my legs giving them light squeezes as I snack on some sour grapes.

"You know you never told me why she calls you Baby?" Owen wonders out as I throw a grape in his mouth.

I smile at the memory. "I always looked up to her literally and figuratively." We both let out a little laugh. "When she started to take the nickname Sabi, she would always say, "You can call me Sabi, rhymes with baby." I would love it because I reminded me when people called me Baby Bell." I laughed. "When she was ten I was only five and tiny compared to her she was a tall kid. She would carry me and call me her baby, so our duo name is Sabi Baby."

"That is actually adorable." He smiles and looks behind me. "There's our baby boy." I sit up and look behind me to see Pablo run over to us after saying goodbye to his little friends.
