The Aftermath

April 2002:

'Daddy look, Daddy look!' I was woken up as I heard the sounds of paper waving

'What is it?' I opened me eyes to see what she was showing me

'Look!' She said once more 'it's me mummy and you' she pointed at each person she drew with the house behind it

'Do you like it?' She asked

'It's beautiful, I love it' I said to her as her smile started to fade 'what's wrong?'

'I miss Mummy' she said

'Me too, I miss her too' I said as I referred to Justine

I dunno man but ever since Whitney and Justine had the song same script different cast, they've been non stop working on projects together.

Justine is all the way in New York filming Cheetah girls two days ago. She's only there for the song writing and the choreography but too be honest I don't know how long she gon' be there for. She said two weeks but I reckon it'll be longer.

'When is mummy going to be back?' She asked 'I don't like it when you're not happy when she's not here'

'Soon, she'll be here soon' I reassured her

'How long is soon?' She asked

'Hell if I knew' I muttered under my breath

She seemed as if she wanted to cry, she's always happy all the time and I hate seeing her in this state.

'I wanna call her' she said

'You wanna call her?' I asked as she nodded her head 'going and get the phone for me on the nightstand and I'll dial the number'

She gave the phone to me as I patted on my leg for her to seat on. She laid her small figure on top of me and wrapped her arms around my neck a little bit. I dialled the number and put it on speaker so Brie could also hear the phone call as she was eager to talk to Justine.

'Hello' her voice came through the small speakers

'MUMMY!' Brie lifted her head up a bit as her chin started to rest on my chest

'Hello baby' she replied back

'Me and daddy miss you' she said smiling

'I miss y'all too' she said back 'is daddy taking care of you?'

'Yeah, I drew a picture of you me and daddy'

'Oh really, it must be beautiful' she suggested

Which it was.....but also got me thinking.......

'It is, daddy liked the picture' she grinned her teeth at me

'Sure he did' she said

'I love you Mummy' Brie started to play with my chin hairs

'Mummy loves you too' she said 'And you know Mummy loves Daddy right'

'I love you too' I responded smiling

'Do you want to speak to Daddy?' She asked

'Do you want me too?' Justine asked her

'Daddy misses you' she said
