Jump Right In

Dancing in the Moonlight

For the past two weeks, Normani has been on her grind at school and that has regrettably left little time for her and Y/n to hang out. The brunette surprised her, twice in fact, by coming over to make her dinner. Granted, it was homemade pizza but the lengths that she went to in order to procure just the right ingredients made the brown girl's heart flutter. She hated having to put 'M&M time' on the back-burner but she was having to try and figure out how this pregnancy was going to affect her studies. The doctor that Daya had suggested she see, Dr. Knight, had given her a due date of April 2nd and she had had several conversations with Nyko's mother about what she could do to make sure this didn't set her back too much. The woman had assured her that they would work with her, telling her to relax, focus on her studies, and make sure she was eating enough and drinking plenty of water. Which is why, after telling Mowgli about said conversation, the girl had taken to keeping water on hand for the brown girl to make sure she was staying hydrated. The doctor and Daya had told her how important prenatal vitamins were, but they made her sick so the brunette had gone to the pharmacy and come back with a formula that had less iron, which was recommended by the pharmacist, and that seemed to help. The morning sickness isn't as frequent and she's trying to be optimistic in her hopes that she'll be over it all-together soon.

All in all, things are going great in her life. Though the time they actually get to see each other is short, Normani feels like she and Y/n communicate much like they did before. They text and call, they FaceTime and Skype. They've fallen asleep on each other a few times actually, but they laugh about it afterwards. This weekend though, the weekend before her birthday, Mowgli has requested to spend with her at the apartment. With Dinah and Layne spending the next few days at the Y/LN's planning Normani's birthday party while the parentals are away, that leaves her and the brunette alone for a total of 3 nights and two days. And Normani couldn't be more elated.

01:50pm - Mowgli: Daya wants to know how you are feeling.

01:51pm - Marie: Daya wants to know or u do?

01:52pm - Mowgli: both. now answer the question. i can't leave until she knows you're feeling okay and she doesn't need to send any home remedies with me.

01:54pm - Marie: i feel great. ur all clear for take-off ;)

01:55pm - Mowgli: thanks doll ;) see you soon.

01:55pm - Marie: be safe, mowg. see u soon <3

She scrolls through her Facebook for a minute before deciding to post a status. She uploads a picture of her and Y/n, captioning it with 'excited to spend this weekend with #mywildling', tagging the brunette who appears next to her - smoothie in hand and snapback atop her head with her hair loose and flowing. It had been the first time Normani had gotten the girl to try on one of her favorites in the plethora of hats that made up her collection and she had to admit, Y/n rocked it soooo hard.

Social media had been tricky since the accident. Layne had deleted pictures of them together - whether it was just the her and his sister or all four of them - stating that Daya thought it would be too confusing if Y/n saw them and then asked questions. Normani wasn't sure how Uno had gotten her ex's passwords, but he'd meticulously combed through Facebook and Instagram, even going as far as to search through Y/n's phone and delete Normani's contact info and pictures of them that the brunette had taken as well as texts and voicemails. She didn't have a clue how Y/n's phone had survived the crash - hers being busted to hell and back - but the male twin had made absolutely sure that all traces of the brown girl had been wiped clean.
