"Knock knockkkk." Karina sang as she opens the door to their home.

"Hey Karina! Where's Chris?" Joyce asked.

"He's getting our bags. Oh my sweet ba-" As Karina walked towards Zaire with her arms open, Chris rushed by her and grabbed Zaire.

"Wassup lil man! I missed you." Chris kissed all over Zaire's face and Karina stood there with a straight face while Joyce laughed.

"Chris, I know you saw me going for my baby."

"Our baby wanted to see his daddy first. Ain't that right, Z?" Zaire babbled and clapped his hands causing Karina to gasp and grab her chest.

"I can't believe this." She said in disbelief. Joyce laughed and hugged Karina. "How was he?"

"He was perfectly fine. Peaceful and in his own little world." Karina smiled and nodded her head hearing that. "How was Bora Bora?"

"Oh it was beautiful mama Joyce. We had so much fun. I even got you a few things." Karina said with a smile.

"This is why you're my favorite and Chris isn't." Chris turned his head quickly and scrunched up his face causing Karina to laugh.

"I'm yo son!!" He said and Joyce shrugged her shoulders while walking away. Karina stuck her tongue out at him and continued to laugh.

"Can I see my son now?" Karina asked as she walked towards them. Zaire looked at her and squealed loudly with a big smile. "Hi munchkin!! Mama missed you so much." Zaire reached for Karina and Chris gave him to his mother.

"Imma get the stuff out the car." Chris walked away and Karina continued to talk and tickle Zaire. Chris took their things upstairs and then came back down.

Now that the two were married and had a 4 month old, Chris decided to work from home for few months so that he could be present and active. Karina already worked from home mostly so he wanted to be there as well helping with their son. Karina knew that after the wedding that she wanted her focus to be her family so she put Janiyah in charge of the salon and all product shipments. Janiyah was also in charge of working on a product that could be used to hydrate the persons face and hair. The two just wanted to focus on being married and a family.

"Come on, Rina. Come hear this." Chris said as he walked in the living room Karina and Z were in. She got off the couch with Z and followed him into the studio he had built in. Karina sat down in one of the chairs and waited for Chris to play the song.

As soon as the song played, Zaire began to clap his hands and move his legs and feet. Karina stood him up on her lap and he danced, meaning he liked what he heard. Karina and Chris smiled at baby Zaire who they could see clearly loved music and dancing and that made Chris excited to see what he did when he got older. As he continued to bounce, all of a sudden liquid came from his mouth and landed on Karina's lap causing her to make a face of disgust. Chris laughed loudly causing Zaire to laugh too.

"Zaire, why didn't you say anythingggg?" Karina whined and Zaire babbled back. Chris got up and ran to get a towel while still laughing.
