aaliyah pov

my legs are hurting super bad the following morning after getting destroyed last night.  i walk around limping a little as i clean up.

the stress cleaning is insane and i know stress isn't good for the baby but how could i not stress?

just on time like she knows how i'm feeling i get a notification so i look at my phone seeing my baby texted me.

i'm sucking it till it breaks 🫦

hey pretty girl
i miss you

don't stress yourself, deep breaths in and out it'll be okay
i love you so much

hi baby

you know i'll do anything for you
i'm leaving in about ten minutes
can you do me a favor and email chester back?

of course i will
i love you
and thank you again
you're the best like seriously 😩

i love you forever
see you when i get home baby

i open the box of chocolate covered strawberries that are decorated to spell out 'i love you' and immediately smile. she be listening to everything i say because i literally mumbled to myself about how i wanted some and i guess she heard me.

i grab one and eat it and they're literally so good. i need a nap.

suddenly the tv breaks out into breaking news.

"breaking news, we've just heard words that was said to police by possible suspect emma's mother. emma's mother said that she truly believes billie o'connell did it. she claims that even though she was not on good terms with both her daughter or sister, she would never kill them. she claims billie o'connell did it with a motive for her sister to leave her alone"

"billie o'connell said she would never do anything like that and she even have an alibi as to where she was during the murder" another reporter adds

"just imagine how the kids are feeling right now and her wife. her wife is probably worried to death"

"has aaliyah said anything about the killings?"

"not yet, maybe soon"

i'm never gonna speak on it so they can keep waiting. my phone gets a notification and i see sierra texted me.

i immediately walk over to the front door opening it. she wraps her arms around me huge me tightly. "i missed you!!" she smiles

"i missed you too. it's been crazy" i say

"don't let them people stress you out. billie will be fine" she tells me before letting go of me

"you're right, speaking of billie...look what she got me" i smile before pulling her over to the kitchen counters

"you know, i'm so happy she acting like she got some sense" she tells me and we both laugh "on a real note how are you with all this stuff going on?"
