Kiari's house, Miami Florida || 1 month later

I was braiding Aliya's hair since she was going back to school on Monday and she was telling me a story about her Barbie dolls fighting at their tea party.

"They were fighting over a dress?" I asked acting surprised

"Yes they were,blonde Barbie stole black Barbie's dress from her house,now now now they are fighting" Aliya explained

"Remember Aliya,it's ok to talk slow" I told her since she talks too fast which makes her stutter.

"Ok mummy" Aliya smiled and I stopped what I was doing

"What did you call me baby?" I asked not believing what my ears heard

"Mummy" Aliya smiled as she looked up at me

"I'm your mummy?" I smiled

"Yes you are,you and Dada love each other " Aliya shrugged and went back to explaining the story.

I smiled to myself as I continued braiding her hair,I can't imagine myself being someone's mom but Aliya looks up to me like I'm her mother,I guess she's too young to understand that her mommy isn't here anymore,I hope Trevon has the guts to tell her one day.

We were finally done braiding so I decided to add some beads to the braids to make them look more pretty

"Go look at your braids in the mirror" I smiled and Aliya stood up and walked up to my big mirror

"I like them" Aliya cheesed

"They are pretty right? You look so beautiful,I can't wait for your dad to see" I smiled

"Me too" Aliya smiled

"Let's go make lunch,I bet you're hungry" I smiled and we left my room and went downstairs.

"What do you want for lunch?" I asked as I opened the fridge

"Hmmm,I want chicken wings and Macaroni or fries with veggies" Aliya giggled

"Alright then,we gonna make exactly that, first let's take out the ingredients then wash our hands and get started " I laughed as I took out the chicken wings from the fridge,alongside some frozen veggies from the freezer .

We got out all the ingredients we need to make lunch and I helped Aliya wash her hands and dry them off and we started prepping our chicken.

I dished out the food on our plates and Trevon walked into the kitchen and stood behind me , snaking his arms around my waist.

"Hey you two" Trevon smiled

"Hi Dada,we made lunch together" Aliya told her dad as she pointed at our plates

"It looks good princess" Trevon smiled and he sat down on one of the stools.

"I bet you're hungry" I laughed as I took out another plate for Trevon

"I'm so tired,the barbershop was packed since morning" Trevon sighed

"You even look exhausted babe" I sighed as I kissed his nose

"Mummy did my hair dada ,look " Aliya cheesed as she showed her dad her new hair

"It looks pretty Aliya, wait? Did you say mummy?" Trevon laughed

"Yes,mummy" Aliya smiled as she pointed at me making Trevon look at both of us in disbelief.

"She called you mummy and you didn't react in the way I thought you would Babe" Trevon laughed

"She called me her mum when I was doing her hair,I was so ready to tell you now you have heard it for yourself " I laughed as I gave him his plate and sat down .

"That's a big step babe,she see's you like a mother figure,that's one big leap of trust from Aliya" Trevon smiled as he started eating.

Seeing Trevon happy about the whole Aliya calling me mummy situation,has made me realize I'm in the right place at the right time.

The rest of the day went by fast and Aliya was just waking up from her nap but Trevon was still knocked out on my bed. I just shook my head and laughed walking out my room.

"I'm hungry " Aliya pouted as I carried her on my hip

"Me too,let's go heat up some pop tarts " I smiled as we walked downstairs to the kitchen.

We heated up some pop tarts and we ate them in the living room as we watched despicable me 3. Aliya was laughing every time she saw gru , apparently he reminds her of uncle Tyler and that's made me laugh alot.

"I'm coming baby,I'm going to wake up your dad" I smiled as I stood up

"Ok" she waved her hand at me without even looking at me once,she surely is enjoying this movie. I walked out the living room and went upstairs to my room.

"Babe wake up " I laughed as I shook him but he only turned to the other side. Men have no shame.

"Trevon wake up ,we gotta go get dinner" I huffed as I shook him but he didn't even open his eyes so I smacked him so hard on the bum and he immediately woke up

"What ? Why would you do that Kiari" Trevon mugged me as he rubbed his bum

"Let's go get dinner, before the traffic hits rush hour" I smiled

"Alright,but you didn't have to smack me like that,imma get my lick back" Trevon chuckled

"Yeah,yeah, come on ,Aliya got school tomorrow,do let's go " I laughed

"You're gonna drop her off right? Tomorrow I gotta be gone by 6am" Trevon asked

"Sure,I can drop her and pick her up as well" I smiled

"Thank you babe" Trevon smiled as he kissed my forehead and we left my room and went downstairs.

"Aliya,come put on your shoes,let's go buy some dinner" I told Aliya as I stood next to the sofa.

"Ok mummy" Aliya cheesed and she stood up and walked past me going to get her shoes from the closet next to the front door

I switched off the TV and the lights and we walked out the house, Trevon locked the door and we went to the car.

When Aliya goes to school tomorrow,imma be so lonely but I have 2 projects to do tomorrow, medical school is killing me.
