This week, Babydoll was going to spend three days with Zonnique. She heard how down she was, so T.I. wasn't too bad about her visiting.

As she packed her bags, she came across a familiar blue shirt. "Oh, my God!" she gasped as she cuffed her mouth.

She sat down and stared at it; this was the shirt that Bahja gave to her the first time they'd met. It was almost scary to be holding it. She hadn't seen it in four months.

After having that little moment, she packed her bags full of clothes, a few shoes, and makeup. She grabbed her Vinegar & Salt chip bag with a pepsi on the side just to snack on in the car.

Before leaving, she called Zonnique to ask if she wanted anything of Bahja's that was at her house before she left.

"What do you have?"

"Uhh... I have a little bit of clothes she loaned me.. and.. I also have one of her phone cases." Babydoll said.

"....no. I- I need not to settle on her death. I'm fine, Bre." she smiled.

"Okay, babe. I'll be there in a few hours, alright? Be straight."

"Okay."

"And I.... I miss her too, Nique. But we're going to be strong about this." Babydoll sighed. "We're going to get through this because you know good and well that's all Bahja would want from us!"

Zonnique couldn't help but smile when she heard Babydoll say that. "You're so strong, Bre. I love you so much.

"Love you too, girl."

With that, Babydoll left a note on the kitchen counter saying that she had already left, then headed to Georgia. The next day, she arrived at Zonnique's doorstep, tired and drained from all of the driving she had to do.

"BRE!" Zonnique gasped as she jumped into her arms. "Bre, girl, I've missed you so much! I wasn't as excited when I heard you were coming, but now that you're here, it's like a freaking miracle!"

"I missed you too, Zonnique! Can I- can I just get some sleep real quick? I'm so tired, chile'-"

"Girl, you don't have to ask me twice. You know where my room is! Here, let me see your bags." Zonnique said as she grabbed her black luggage.

"I'll take those up for you."

"Thank you, Nique." she smiled as she walked up the stairs.

After Babydoll made her way up to Zonnique's room, she opened the door then plopped down on her pink and brown bed. It always smelled like red velvet cake for some reason. Anyways, the smell comforted her even more as she curled into a ball then drifted off into a deep sleep.

Meanwhile, T.I. walked into the house and saw Zonnique with her luggage. "Is Babydoll here?" he asked, throwing his gardening gloves onto the couch.

"Yes, Pops.."

"Well, that's good.." he groaned. "Nique, I'm sorry for being so hard on you. But when I saw that you ran off with that little boy to California, I was HOT."

Zonnique nodded her head, continuing to stare down at the carpet. T.I. sighed then scratched his nose.

"So, are you still mad with me?" he asked.

Zonnique looked up from the ground and smiled at him. "Why, no.'

"Stop lying with me, Nique. You're not funny."

"Okay, I am! I'm embarrassed as heck! You jacked me up RIGHT in front of the boy then threw me into the car!"

"You've got to understand that when you're with a little teenaged boy, they are going to want to do things with you. And as a father-"
