"Ro? Come on get up Ro." Karina said softly as she shook Royalty's shoulder gently. After a few more shakes, Royalty finally woke up and opened her eyes to see a smiling Karina. "Happy Birthdayyyy!" Karina said a little louder and started to do the dougie. Royalty laughed and sat up in her bed. "You ready for today?"

"What time is it?"

"It is currently 8:30 am and our brunch reservations are for 10 so let's get a move on missy." Karina kissed her forehead and walked out the room so they both could get dressed and ready. Once they were both done, they got into Karina's Audi truck and left the house.

"So what we doing today?"

"Whatever you want to do." Karina smiled and continued to drive.

"Okay...after brunch can we get our nails and toes done?"

"Yes ma'am we can." The two ladies continued to talk and laugh until they arrived at their destination. Once they were seated, Royalty spoke.

"Thank you for today." She said with a smile.

"Of course! 14 is a big age for a young lady." Karina laughed softly.

"Any advise?"

"Even though you are a teen, just continue being a child. Don't feel the need to grow up so soon because before you know it, you gon have bills and a credit score and get married and have snotty nosed kids and you won't have the same freedom you have now. So just be a kid and enjoy every moment." Royalty smiled and nodded her head.

"How was Cabo? I forgot to call and ask."

"It was great. We had lots of fun, Zaire is...Zaire so he enjoyed mostly everything." They both laughed.

"I want to go to Greece one day."

"Wel you are talking to the right one cause I'm going to make sure it happens." The waitor brought their drinks and food and they ate.

"I'm glad you and my dad are married." Royalty says with a big smile. "I hope it stays this way."

"Pastor Ronnie said til death do us part. So me and your dad will be married until then." Karina smiled and continued to eat her food.

While the two were out enjoying their day, Chris was back at home with Zaire, Aeko, and Lovely. Chris talked to Diamond and Ammika and they agreed to letting them stay until the end of June. Of course this made Karina happy and she planned a lot of stuff for them to do while they were with them. Stuff like field days, field trips, and a vacation they would be taking the last week they had the kids.

Chris woke up and went downstairs to see Lovely and Aeko in the living room eating cereal while watching Spongebob.

"Y'all know y'all supposed to eat at the table." He said while walking over. Lovely slightly rolled her eyes.

"Daddy please! We can't see Spongebob in there."

"Spongebob ain't going nowhere. He been around since I was a little kid."
