* Alana's POV *

August placed our bags back into the truck while I stood there & watched from the front porch. Mya, Chay, & Kay had the saddest look on their faces & they slowly watched us get ready to go. August made his way over, while I prepared to say my goodbyes.
Karlie: It was nice meeting you, feel like you're already my sister. Take care & keep in touch.
Alana: I know right & I will, don't forget you are in the wedding.

I said smiling at her as she gave me a hug.
Sheila: Well, it was nice having you around Alana. I'll see you in a couple of weeks.
Alana: Same to you.

Since she came off kinda rude the last time, I was expecting her to make her way straight over to August... Instead, she pulled me in for a hug, which surprised the hell out of me. August picked up his nieces & gave them some kisses on their foreheads.
Kay: Uncle Aug, when are you coming back?
August: Soon I'll be back outchea to get y'all & bring ya back to LA.
Kay: Really?
August: Yeah..
Kay: I love you Uncle Aug.
August: I love you too.

They all got into a group hug & Karlie walked over to August.
Karlie: I'll miss you.
August: I'll miss you too.

They hugged & his mom made her way over.
Sheila: Get back to doing what you gotta do. Take care of yourself, ya hear me?
August: I hear you ma.
Sheila: I love you.
August: I love you too.

She planted a kiss on his cheek & we made our way into the truck. Backing out the driveway while they waved goodbye from the porch. August smiled at me as he made his way down the road.
August: It went good right?
Alana: A whole lot better than I thought.

He turned on a road for a shortcut I'm guessing before he frowned up. I stared at him as he pulled over, getting out the truck, & walking over into a cemetery. I waited a few moments, before I got out & found him standing over a graveside filled with flowers. It was obvious it was Mel's. I stood back as August stood there before he started weeping. I walked over to him wrapping my arms around him before he completely fell into my arms. I held him close with his head laying on my chest.

* August's POV *

Ashlee came in & sat down. Ava was fast asleep.
Ashlee: So where's Alana?
August: Grocery shopping.
Ashlee: Oh okay. Thought maybe you wanted to keep Ava tonight since I've got a date.
August: I thought we agreed that I wouldn't keep her until we got the DNA back?
Ashlee: You & Alana agreed that with yourselves. She's yours August & I know that.
August: Aight then Ashlee.

She threw her purse back on & stood up.
Ashlee: I'll pick her up tomorrow after I get off.

She bent down kissing Ava's cheek, before walking out the door. I walked over & looked at Ava as she peacefully slept before picking her up & sitting down on the couch. What if she was actually mine? At least I hoped so.

* Alana's POV *

I walked through the door & into the kitchen putting the grocery bags on the counter.
Alana: Hey baby, I decided to make pasta tonight!

I screamed from the kitchen. August didn't reply back, so I looked out the window. Just as I thought his Range Rover was in the driveway which meant he had to be home. I walked into the living room with no sign of him before opening our bedroom door. August was laid across the bed with Ava by his side fast asleep. I stood in the doorway smiling.
Alana: August? Get up sleepyhead.
August: My fault bae.
Alana: I'm making pasta tonight for dinner.

I walked over placing a kiss on his lips.
August: Okay.

I picked Ava up.
Alana: I'll take her to her crib right now. You know how you sleep.

I said laughing while making my way into Ava's room & putting her in her crib.
August: Yeah yeah.

He said smiling at me in the doorway.
Alana: I thought we were gonna wait until the DNA came back?
August: She just brought her by for the night.

I turned the light off in the room pulling the door up. August picked me up & carried me all the way back into the kitchen.
August: I'm hungry as hell.

I laughed.
Alana: I'm sure you are. I got some pasta, dinner rolls, & salad for us tonight on the menu.

He started rubbing his hands together smiling.
Alana: You know Val has been making trips to LA more & more?
August: I'm sure it's business.

I stared at the groceries & nodded my head.
Alana: Yeah, sure it's business.
