(Beyonce POV)

Shawn and I was woken up at around 4am by a slight knock on the door. 

"Who is it?" I asked.

"Its Shamyah-Grace Knowles." 

"Ok baby hold on one second.'

Carter and I quickly search around for our clothes and got dressed and then I opened the door.

"What is it honey?"

"I can't sleep."

"Ok how about mommy make you some warm milk."

"Ok and can I sleep with you?"

"You sure can, come on let's go get some milk." I said picking her up. "Carter could you change the sheets please?" I whispered.

"Yea, go head."

"Thanks. They're in the hall closet."

"Ok."

When my sister and I was younger my mom would always make us a glass of warm milk when we couldn't sleep. I sat Shamyah on the island and then put the milk on.

"I hope your making enough for me." Solange said walking further into the kitchen.

"I wasn't but I'll make you some."

Solange sat the island.

"What are you doing up anyway, Solange?"

"I don't know, I can't sleep. So Shamyah-Grace what do you like to do for fun?"

"I like to write, and color, and draw, and paint, and play with toys, and read books and I know how to write and I'm only 5 I learned it in school. Oh and well Mrs. Monique and Pops said they were going to teach me how to tie my shoe but we never got a chance too. Can you teach me?"

I smiled she is so adorable. 

"Of course I'll teach you how to tie your shoe."

She smiled.

"So Shamyah what do you like to write?" Solange asked.

"I like to write my name, and I know how to spell it too. S.H.A.M.Y.A.H hyphen G.R.A.C.E K.N.O.W.L.E.S and I like to write stories about princess and animals."

"I think she gets that from you Bey." Shawn said walking into the kitchen. 

I smiled.

"Are you ready for your milk Myah?"

"Yes!" She said smiling and swinging her feet against the island. 

I poured her some milk and then Solange and then myself.

"Shawn do you want some?" I asked.

"Warm milk?"

"Yea, it's good."

"No thank you I rather have mine cold."

"Ok your lost."

Shawn poured him a glass of milk and added a few ice-cubes. 

"So Solange do you know what you're having yet?" Shawn asked.

"No, I find out on the 2nd."

"What do you want?" I asked.

"A girl."

"Mommy?"

Hearing her call me that is like music to my ears.

"Yes?"

"I need to get down I have to use it."

I smiled and took her down from the island and she ran to the bathroom.
