Betrayal from the Outside

6

Aliyah entered the visitation room, scanning the crowd until her eyes locked on Y/n, who was waiting by one of the tables. A surge of emotion hit Y/n as she spotted Jenny holding Aliyah's hand, her little face lighting up with excitement.

"Mama!" Jenny squealed, breaking free from Aliyah's grasp and sprinting towards Y/n with all the energy a child her age could muster.

"My little munchkin!" Y/n exclaimed, kneeling down just in time to scoop Jenny up into her arms. She spun her around playfully, pressing kisses to her cheeks while Jenny giggled in delight. "How's my girl?" Y/n asked softly, smoothing down Jenny's hair.

"Good! I missed you!" Jenny chirped, her arms wrapped tightly around Y/n's neck.

"I missed you too, baby." Y/n smiled, her heart aching as she set Jenny down gently.

Aliyah approached, her expression soft but burdened. Y/n stood, pulling her into a deep kiss, one full of the longing and love they had been forced to endure from a distance. "God, I've missed you," Y/n whispered as their foreheads rested against each other's.

"I miss you too, every single day," Aliyah replied, her voice barely holding back the emotion. They hugged tightly, savoring the fleeting moment of closeness before Y/n pulled back to caress Aliyah's face. Jenny tugged at Y/n's shirt, looking up at her parents with wide eyes.

"Are we gonna eat now, Mama?" Jenny asked, her innocent voice breaking the intensity of the moment.

Y/n chuckled, glancing between Aliyah and Jenny. "Yeah, let's get some snacks, huh? Got all your favorites just waiting for you" Y/N spoke setting down a lot of them

The three of them sat together, munching on chips and sipping from juice boxes as they talked. Aliyah rested her hand on Y/n's knee, while Jenny chattered excitedly about her day, her feet swinging beneath the table. Y/n soaked it all in, grateful for these small moments that made everything feel almost normal.

As Jenny munched on her chips, her attention shifted to a woman standing nearby, waiting with a gentle smile. Jenny waved enthusiastically, and the woman waved back, her eyes softening with a smile of her own.

Y/n followed Jenny's gaze and recognized the familiar face. "Hey, Sam!" she called out, grinning as Sam glanced over. Sam had been waiting patiently for her wife, and Y/n knew that this visit was as precious to her as it was to them.

"Hey, Y/n!" Sam responded warmly, waving back as she leaned against the wall, her eyes still on the entrance.

Just then, Jasmine appeared from behind, tossing a small ball playfully in Y/n's direction. Y/n caught it with ease, laughing at the sudden challenge. "You tryna start something, Jasmine?" she teased, tossing the ball back.

Jasmine grinned, walking over to her wife, Sam, as she caught the ball. "Always, Y/n. You know I can't help it," Jasmine quipped, pressing a kiss to Sam's cheek as she wrapped an arm around her

Aliyah looked at her wife Aliyah kissed her gently "I love you"

"I love you"

Hailee walked into the visitation room, her eyes immediately scanning the crowd for Jenna. Their son, Max, clutched her hand tightly, his wide eyes taking in the unfamiliar scene around him. It had been hard for Hailee, being away from Jenna, but it was even harder for Max, who didn't quite understand why his mom couldn't come home every night like before.

"There she is," Hailee whispered to Max as she spotted Jenna sitting at one of the tables, her expression lighting up the moment she saw them. Max let go of Hailee's hand and darted toward Jenna, his face breaking into an excited grin.
