Serenity wakes up with a terrible migraine. She's laying in bed and begins to ruffle her white bed sheets.she notices that she's still wearing the same clothes from last night.

Jayvontae is laying next to her, reading the morning news paper, and drinking some freshly brewed coffee that he made in the kitchen not too long ago, he's wearing grey colored sweatpants, but is not wearing a shirt.

"Baby, my head hurts" Serenity tells Jayvontae.

"Probably from all that damn alcohol" Jayvontae says as he sips his coffee. "you where so drunk last night that the security guard found you sleeping in the elevator" Jayvontae adds.

"It's that elevator music babe, it's so soothing, it practically hypnotizes you" Serenity says to Jayvontae.

Serenity gets closer to Jayvontae and lays her head on his chest as if he is her own personal pillow.

"Baby can you get me some ginger ale please?" serenity asks Jayvontae.

Jayvontae places his coffee on the coffee table, folds his newspaper, and removes himself from the bed.
Serenity turns over and reaches for her phone, she unlocks it, and begins checking  her iMessages.

Elijah  has been texting serenity all morning, but she's still so embarrassed over what she said last night that she hasn't replied, and doesn't plan on doing so either.

Jayvontae returns back with a glass of ginger ale as well as the newest issue of cosmopolitan magazine, he individually hands them both to Serenity and returns back to his position on the bed.
Serenity begins to flip through the pages of the magazine and stops to gaze at an add for Huggies diapers. The add shows a mother and her baby in a play room, the background is fuzzy but the main focus of the picture is clearly the women and her child. The mother is holding the baby, but the baby is rested on her chest, the mother is smiling at the child, while the child is distracted by something else, but also has a smile on its face.
*Serenity tugs on Jayvontae's shoulder.*

"Do you ever miss her?" Serenity asks.

*Serenity's voice begins to crack mid sentence*

Jayvontae hears the hurt in serenity's voice, he puts his coffee and newspaper down on the coffee table, and turns around so that him and serenity are facing each other.

"Miss who,my love?" Jayvontae asks serenity

"The baby" Serenity says as a single tear escapes from one of her eyes.

"Serenity, I'm not talking about this again, how many more times do I have to tell you ?" Jayvontae says to Serenity.

"You know she would have been three this year right ? "I have dreams about her Jayvontae, she's beautiful"
Serenity says to Jayvontae.

*Jayvontae begins to raise his voice*
"Stop saying her" Jayvontae says, "it wasn't even fully developed, it was a fetus! Nothing but a merely speck of boneless tissue." He adds on.

"I know you don't mean that" serenity says to Jayvontae with forgiveness in her eyes.

"No serenity I do" Jayvontae says. "You constantly bring up "the baby" expecting me to change my feelings about my decision to get rid of it, but my feelings are never going to change. Between you quitting your job whenever you don't feel important, me being the only one paying bills around the house,and you fucking around with a new guy every time I turned my head, I'm sure there's a huge possibility that the baby wasn't even mines anyway , and I'll be damned if I work my ass off, to raise another mans child! Jayvontae says out of frustration and anger.

"Her name is Daisy, and she has your eyes!" Serenity yells as she runs to the bathroom and locks the door behind her.

"It's name is fetus !" Jayvontae yells through the door back to Serenity
