Chapter 20 (Lets Start Over)
Two weeks later.
Beyonce POV
I decided that sending Alex to live with my mother would be best for all of us. At first my mother protested but in the end she accept her with open arms.
"Mommy when are you coming back?" Gracie asked in a sad tone. Almost as if she was about to cry.
"I'm going to be back right in time to tuck you in to bed."
"Do you promise?"
"Yes, and your aunt Michelle is going to watch you until I come back."
"Ok." Gracie said as she put her head down. I sighed and picked her up.
"Gracie please don't be sad, I'm coming right back."
"I miss Alex."
"I know but we'll visit her soon."
"For my birthday?"
"Sure, if that's what you want."
"Ok."
I kissed Gracie on her forehead and put her down. If Shawn finds out I've been picking her up and I'm three months pregnant, he'll kill me.
As soon as put her down the doorbell rang.
"That's Michelle Gracie and I want you to behave ok."
"K."
Gracie and I walked over to the door hand and hand and let Michelle in.
"Hey Bey." Michelle said as she kissed my cheek. "Hi Gracie." She added with a smile as she picked Gracie up.
"Hi, auntie."
"Ok, Michelle. Gracie already had her dinner and around seven she can have a snack. Please make sure she's in bed by nine and I'll be back before midnight."
"Ok Bey and you look cute, are nervous?"
"Thank, and a little." I haven't seen Shawn since that night at the hospital. After my break down Shawn and I both agreed that space wily be best for both of us. We talk on the phone every night but as far as seeing each other goes, we haven't. Tonight I'm meeting him at his house for dinner. This is somewhat a first date for us. But, we're still going to discuss we're we stand in a relationship.
After kissing Gracie goodbye and thanking Michelle once more, I made my way over to Shawn's place.
*Shawn's place."
"Hey." I greeted. Him nervously at the door.
"Hey." He said right before kissing my forehead. "I missed you."
"I missed you too." I said as I walked into his house and removed my coat.
"You look nice." He said.
"Thank you." I'm dressed in a tight fitted, navy blue dress that hugged each of my curves. My hair straight and and I just recently colored it back dark brown. "Is Xavier here?" I asked.
"No, he and Kelly went out." I instantly felt some type of way but what ever.
"Well it smells nice in here. What did you cook."
Shawn smiled. "Follow me." He said as he took my hand. He brought me into the kitchen and pulled out a chair for me. I sat down and Shawn walked over to the oven. "I made baked chicken, steam vegetables, rice. And for dessert, German chocolate cake." He explained as he made both our plates.
