"Ember come here." I yelled from the kitchen. "Yes?" Ember said as she walked into the kitchen. "Did your aunt Brandy tell you when shes going to be here?" I asked her. "She was on her way last time I talked to her." Ember said as she sat on the counter. "Good. You like the blue streak in your hair?" I asked her. "I do. It looks good with the black." Ember said smiling. "I cant belivie your father let you die it black from brown. It was natural." I said disapointed. "But you and daddy have black hair." Ember said confussed. "Yes, but his in natural brown and it looked really good. Till he got bigger in his band and blacked it out." I said rolling my eyes. "Really? I wanna see." Ember said exited. "Okay come with me." I said as I went into mine and Michaels bed room. "What are you up to?" Michael asked me as I sat on the bed with Ember and looking threw the laptop. "Showing your daughter you natural hair color." I said as I pulled up a picture. "Oh god." Michael said shaking his head. "Oh my god! Dad! Why did you die it darker? Your looked soo good." Ember said looking at the picture. "I prefur darker hair. That one reason out of many, I love your mother." Michael said as he sat beside me. "My dad was hot." Ember said proud. "Thats not awkword to say about your father." Dj said walking into the room. "Uncel Dj!" Ember said as she run up and hugged him. Dj picked her up and swung her around. "Do you remember when you use to think I was your boyfriend?" Dj said as he sat her back down. "What are you talking about?" Ember asked confussed as we all went into the livingroom. "Yeah you thought he was your boyfriend. You stole my boyfriend." Cynthia said laughing. "Im sorry aunt Cynthia." Ember said as she hugged her. "Your forgiving." Cynthia said laughing still. "Im glad you guys are back from your trip." I said to Cynthia. "Yeah. I cant wait to see how big Brandys gotten." Cynthia said exited. "I am too! I cant wait to play with the baby." Ember said exited as well. "Just like your mother." Cynthia said shaking her head. "Hey Cyndy, why dont you tell Ember the story when Michael lost her." Philip said walking into the livingroom from the kitchen. "You lost me?" Ember said looking at Michael. "Hey, that was your own fault. You wouldnt take a nap with me." Michael said shaking his head. "Did I just hear someone talking about the time Ember got lost?" Brandy said walking in the front door with Ben. "Aunt Brandy!" Ember said as she hugged her tight. "Becareful. The little girl doesnt want smushed." Brandy said touching her belly. "Hello little nugget." Ember said as she talked to Brandys stomic. "Your silly. Look at you. Black ripped skinnys, black and blue tank top. Whats this? A blue streak? Just like your mother when she was your age." Brandy said as she looked Ember up and down. "I know right." Ember said as she smiled at me. "How far along are you?" I asked Brandy. "5 months." Ben said smiling. "Just wait. Shes gunna be just like that one." Michael said as Ember said beside him. "Oh, just letting you know. Im not babysitting. My walls ant going to be coverd in my makeup again." Dj said as he relived the momment when Ember decorated his wall. "Or my face." Philip glaring at Ember. "Why bring up things I was to little to remember? Why not the time when daddys 5th album came out? That was a memory." Ember said smiling. "Oh god. It was." I said shaking my head and laughing. "Hey.
