"I wish we didn't have to leave so soon." I said, as Giovanni and I were packing.

The past week has been so amazing. I am now engaged, and just spent a trip with the people I love the most.

"I know mamas, we can come back whenever you want.. This is one of ours now." He replied making me scrunch my face.

"One of ours??" I said and he nodded.

"Just incase we don't wanna move here specifically.. after we married and have kids.. I already have 3 houses plus this one." He replied.

"So we'll sell this house?" I asked and he shrugged.

"I mean if you want to when the time comes mamas then we can. Or it can just stay a vacation spot." He said and I nodded.

"Wherever we find our place at tho i'll just get Jace and the other kids apartments nearby." He said making me smile.

"Other kids hm..?" I said and he nodded walking towards me before leaning down kissing my stomach.

"Boy what the hell are you doing?" I asked laughing.

"No more birth control.. aight?" He said.

"Wait what you mean no more birth control?" I asked.

"Im finna get you pregnant." He said and I snapped my neck at him.

"You finna what?" I asked.

"Nut in you. Feel me? Now finish packing." He said getting up, walking back over to his area zipping up his suit cases.

"Mommy?" Jace said quietly peeking her head in the door.

  "Come in baby." I said and she had a worried look on her face.

  "No can you come.. not you daddy." She said and I nodded getting up before looking over at Bricks who got up as well.

  "Babe no." I said quietly.

  "Fuck you mean no? What the fuck she keeping secrets?" He said and I scrunched my face pushing him back.

  "Look I understand she's your daughter and she's only 6, but she has a right to privacy as well Bricks.. Maybe she just doesn't want you to know. She's 6 not 16. You're acting like she'll tell me she's pregnant or something calm down." I said before walking out of the room.

"What's wrong baby?" I said, crouching down to Jace's face.

"Mommy I broke the wall." She said.

"What? What wall? Show me where it is." I said and she turned, walking toward her bedroom before walking inside.

"There." She said pointing to a hole in the wall that was just a carving being that the hole wasn't all the way through.

"How did you do this?" I asked.

"Um.. I.. I was moving the bed." She said and I frowned, walking over closing the door.

"Jace you and I both know that that isn't what happened.. tell the truth." I said and she began crying.

"Ry was mad that I didn't wanna go play outside because I said I didn't ask you if I could go and she started smashing the bed into the wall again and again until it made that." She said between constant sniffles and tears.

"Okay calm down.." I said wiping her face as she continued her sniffles.

"Jace why did you lie and blame it on yourself?" I asked.
