Megan POV
"Meggyyyyy..." Victoria whines into the FaceTime.
"Uh uh, what do you want, Tori?" I ask knowing I'm about to get asked to do something I probably don't want to do.
And knowing my 'platonic best friend', it's finna be something crazy.
Last time she gave me that voice I ended up going with her to jump her baby daddy.
We got his ass, tho.
"I need a favor." She says sweetly.
"I can tell." I quip back.
Tori has a specific tone when she's about to ask me for my kidney or something.
"Can you keep Hazel?" She asks.
That's all she wanted?
"Of course. When?" I ask.
"From today to Sunday night." Tori says biting her lip.
"Victoria."
"Yeah?"
"That's 4 days. You want me to watch your 8 month old for 4 days?"
I've only ever kept her for a few hours.
"I know it sounds crazy, but my brother called and said our mom isn't feeling well so I'm trying to fly out to Sacramento to check on her. I may not even be gone the whole 4 days." She pleads.
"Hold on, let me ask Bey."
I get up and find Bey in the bedroom sketching something.
I prop the phone in front of her and let my Platonic Best Friend explain her case to my Romantic Best Friend.
Of course, Bey agrees. She loves babies.
Especially Hazel.
That little ball of sunshine has had Bey's heart from day one.
I'm nervous, though.
I haven't planned for this.

"Thankyouthankyouthankyou!" Tori says kissing my cheek, then Bey's before passing the baby to her.
"Hazel, be good for your aunties. I'll be back soon." She says to Hazel who's too busy smiling at Beyoncé to listen.
She shoves a duffle bag at Megan, kisses her baby and darts off.
Beyoncé takes Hazel to the living room.
She already had me relocate the coffee table so she and Haze could play on the floor.
She takes auntie duty very seriously.
I plop down on the couch and turn on JoJo's Bizarre Adventure for my 100th rewatch.
Hazel grabs my leg startling me and making me jump.
"How did she get over here?" I question seeing Bey several feet away from me.
"She crawled, Meg." Bey says looking at me like I'm dumb.
"You can crawl now?" I ask her.
She just smiles and drools before sitting back on her knees and raising her arms for me to pick her up.
"You can crawl but you can't talk?" I ask picking her up and sitting her on the couch next to me.
Beyoncé snorts.
She says enjoys seeing me with babies because that's how she feels around everyone else.
Awkward.
I like kids, I just don't know how to engage with them on their level.
