Em wakes up to the sound of David's alarm going off. She turns around and sees David shutting the alarm off.
"Morning baby," she smiles.
"Morning, princess. How did my girls sleep?" he asks, kissing her.
"Good, our daughter isn't killing me yet, which is great," she smiles.
"That's what I like to hear," he smiles back
He gets up from bed and heads to the bathroom to freshen up. Em grabs her phone and starts scrolling through her social media. David comes out of the bathroom and changes into a comfortable outfit for breakfast and skate.
"Have a great skate babe. I'll see you later," she smiles, kissing him.
He leaves the hotel room and she takes out her laptop to work on editing the gender reveal video. She then hears her stomach grumble and decides to order room service. She comtinues editing the video, until room service arrives with the food. She shuts her laptop down and starts eating right away. She turns on the TV and watches SportsCenter, catching up on everything she missed the day before in the world of sports. After finishing, she puts everything on the cart and takes the cart to the hallway.
She comes back into the room and decides to FaceTime her sister, Anny, who's currently finishing her 1st year at Northwestern University in Illinois.
"Sistah sistah, how are you?" Em asks, seeing her sister chilling in her dorm room.
"Tired. Next week is the last week of classes," she explains to her sister.
"You're almost done, Ni. You can pull through," Em assures her.
"It's so hard to pull through when it's so hot here," she groans, thinking about the the Midwest heat in early June.
"You'll make it through. So how are things between you and Jason?" Em asks.
"We broke up," she replies, biting her lip.
"What? When?" Em asks in shock.
"Last weekend. My roommate caught him with some sorrority girl at the movies and they were all over each other. Once she sent me the vids and pics of them, I sent them to him and told him we were done. I then blocked his number. He's lucky I didn't go to his dorm and fuck him up. Probably the last time I'll date someone from the basketball team," she explains.
"Oh I'm sorry, Ni. You know I'd go there in a heartbeat to fuck him up," Em teases.
"I know you would normally. I'd love to keep talking with you, but my roommate and I are heading to the gym before getting breakfast," she informs her.
"Alright, sister. Go have fun," she smiles.
They bid each other farewell and sign off. Just as she does, David comes back into the room.
"Hey babe, how was skate?" she smiles, kissing him.
"Good. I have a great feeling we'll pull one here tonight," he smiles confidently.
"That's what I like to hear," she smiles.
She calls her father and puts it on speaker.
"Hello?" her father asks, answering the phone.
"Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday dear Pa-a! Happy birthday to you! Te estás poniendo viejo!" she sings to him. "Bendicion, Pa y felicidades!"
"Dios te bendiga, mi'ja! Gracias, mi amor!" he smiles.
"Happy Birthday, Mr. Rodriguez!" David chimes in.
