Daniel's POV

I'm not sure how I feel about mom kissing mama, and I have no clue on how I'm supposed to feel about it.

I don't even know what this means for us. Will they get back together now that mom doesn't have a girlfriend and she kissed mama? Will she live here forever now?

When will they tell me about the kiss?

I'm not sure, but they don't know that I saw them, so I am going to try my best to keep quiet about it.

"...How would Daniel feel about it?" I heard mom ask?

I wonder what they're talking about.

Mama told me to go to my room and take a nap because she and mom had to talk about something. I wasn't sleepy though.

Mom kissing mama kept me distracted today at school during class, recess, on the way home, and now it was keeping me up from my daily nap.

But I couldn't say anything...

But why did mom say my name? Are they talking about me? Why?

Grandma Andrea always told me that I was nosey because I was always in grown folk's business. But I couldn't help it, I had a curious mind. Mama says I got it from her...

Getting up out of bed, walking over to my door that was cracked open slightly, I tiptoed my way through the hallway. I followed the sound, leading me to the living room.

On the couch was both mom and mama, but mom had her hand on mama's thigh and they were sitting close together.

This made my heart beat fast and my breath to quicken, but my eyebrows to come together.

I didn't know what this made me feel, but my body reacted differently. I didn't know what it was trying to tell me though.

I need help... I have to ask someone, but not mama or mom. Someone else who wouldn't be mad at me for snooping around the house at night.

But who?

Grandpa! He would help me and he wouldn't tell mama.

"Daniel?" I heard mama say, catching my attention.

My eyes widened realizing that I was caught. I stepped into the living room from hiding behind the wall, and walked over towards them on the couch. I was too afraid to take a seat, so I stood in front of mama, looking down at my feet nervously.

"Yes mama?" I asked in my baby voice that I always used to help me get out of trouble.

It only worked sometimes...

"I thought you were asleep, come here." She responded in her inside voice, which meant that she wasn't mad at me. I think?

I slowly looked up and watched as Mama and mom made room for me to sit in between them on the couch.

Third person POV

Dinah smiled softly at her son's behavior, thinking that he was just acting this way because he was tired.

But Normani knew something was off about Daniel. He wasn't acting weird because he was tired, he was acting like he always did when he thought he was in trouble, guilty.

Normani furrowed her eyebrows at this because why did he think he was in trouble?

"What's up buddy?" Dinah asked, her fist out for her son to 'pound it' with his fist.
And he did, but he didn't do it with his routine smile like other times before. Dinah noticed this and raised an eyebrow, looking up at Normani in question.
