" Thanks for lunch Mila".

" Anytime mi amor. I'm happy to see you happy".

" All of the credit goes to you and my family. Especially you. How did I get so lucky in having you in my life?".

" Aww stop you're gonna make me blush".

" I love you" She kisses her on the cheek.

" Not more than I do"

They chuckle.

" Uh you wouldn't guess who just walked in here".

" Is that suppose to be a bad thing?"

" I guess"

" Just say who it is and stop acting so nervous".

" It's Val and....his family"

Normani turns around and all of the past memories comes flooding back.

" It's okay" Camila rubs her hand lightly.

" Hey Mani"

" What do you want Val?" She says avoiding eye contact.

" How are you doing?"

" I'm doing great as you can see. Mila I think its time for me to go".

" Mani hold on please. I'm glad I ran into you can we talk. It won't take long I promise?"

" No we can't. Just go tend to your family".

" You know Jenna it's quite interesting that your daughter looks just like Mani. Are you sure you took home the right baby?" She smirks

" Mila. That was rude. Even though I hate the mother. But let the child be".

" Mani even a blind person can see that this child resembles you 1000%. But maybe it's just a coincidence".

" You are sounding just as delusional as your friend. Whats wrong youre still in denial because her fucking daughter died. Maybe she knows exactly what she did resulting in the poor kid's death".

" Jenna!" Val says through gritted teeth.

" What?"

" Apologize now".

" Oh I'm sorry babe. I forgot you were her father".

Normani grabs her things and runs out of the restaurant.

" It's a shame that a devil like you were blessed with a child and someone as good as Mani lost hers. I actually feel sorry for this poor kid. You are too toxic for her" She chases afted Normani.

" You saw the way she spoke to me Val?".

" You fucking deserved it" He scoffs while taking a seat with his daughter in his arms.

Camila finds Normani in her car crying

" Hey ignore what Jenna said. She is an illiterate bitch. Don't cry Mani please, you'll make me cry too".

" Mila it's like I'm paying for what I did to my first child. I killed my first child....

" Shhh" Camila pulls her into her arms and strokes her back slowly. " I don't want you to ever say that about yourself again. Ever, you are the most kindest and loving person I know. You are more like family than my own God damn family".

She sniffs

" I'm sorry for messing up your shirt".

" Fuck it. You are what matters most. You will be a mother one day. Mark my words"

" You are the fucking best Mila".

" Was that just a Drake lyric to butter me up?" She fake pouts.

" Shut up" She pushes her lightly and a smile rolls off of her lips.

" There you go. That's what I wanted from you"
