"You're doing a wonderful job with her Brittany."
"Thank you Dr. Carter. That means a lot to me. It gets hard at times with school and everything."
"If you don't mind me asking, is the father in her life?"
"Oh yeah, neither of us planned for her to be here but he's stepped up and helped me a lot."
"That's good to hear. Well make sure you bring this cutie back to see me in a month."
"We will and thanks again Dr. C." she waved and left out.
That was my last patient for the day. It's around lunch time and I'm hungry. Let me text the girls and see if they can grab a quick bite to eat. Great, they said yes! But first I need to change clothes.

I walked in the restaurant and immediately spotted them.

"Well dam I didn't know we was coming in here to snatch someone's man

"Well dam I didn't know we was coming in here to snatch someone's man." Kelly said making me laugh.
"Y'all know my vacation starts today."
"We know but didn't you have a few patients before you left." Michelle said.
"Yeah but I wanted to change into something more comfortable after work."
"More like something easy for Jay to rip off when you get home." Kelly said sipping her drink.
"Whatever Kelendria."
"Anyways, so you ready for this trip to Houston?"
"If I'm being honest I'm nervous as hell!" I breathed out. "I haven't been there in over ten years."
"Bey you lying!" Michelle said.
I shook my head, "I told y'all I couldn't do it. When I came here for college, I never looked back."
"Awwww BB!" Kelly said with a pouty face. "And now you're going to support your man."
"I'm proud of you Bey. I understand why you don't want to go but I'm glad you're putting all that to the side for your husband."
"Trust me Chelle it's taken years for him to get me to go."
"Yeah we know, Jay would call our husbands out for a drink every year. Last year me and Morris were in the middle of something. Let's just say I knew your ass was going this year because if I had to use a toy again it was gone be me and you."
I laughed, "I didn't know, my bad."
"Mhmmm."
"Kelly how's my baby?"
"Tearing up my house. I swear Tim giving him that name was a blessing and curse."
"Awww leave my baby alone."
"You're more than welcome to come take him."
We continued our lunch until I had to go pick up Blue from school.

Jay POV

"So that's how you want it?"
"Yeah just like that, when do you think you can start?"
"Well you know I got that big client who needs his building complete by the end of the year."
"How's that going?"
"It should be done before Christmas. So we can start on your project in January."
"Cool. But let me ask you something."
"Shoot."
"Kelly say anything to you about Bey?"
"Like what?"
"Anything."
"Nah man, wassup?"
"Well when I left those few days, I did research."
"Research?"
"Yeah on Bey's family. You know to see if I could find any of her relatives in Houston."
"What you mean? Didn't her family die in a car crash?"
"I was looking more so for a cousin, aunt, uncle, or something."
"Well did you find anything?"
"Nothing and that's what's strange to me. I couldn't even find an article on her family's death either."
"Well you know the internet wasn't around at that time."
"Yeah but she's been acting sneaky too. She stays at her office late and when she does come home she's always in her office with the door closed."
"You think she's hiding something?"
"I don't know."
"Well it's only one way to find out. Ask her straight up. Don't sugarcoat it."
"You right. Let me get out of here and finish packing for this trip."
"Alright man, y'all be safe." I dapped him up and left.
