Serenity's Desire

S.D- 28

° Just A Moment °

I felt my phone vibrating on the bed and i got up to search for it. Reese and the baby wasn't there so i know they got up before me. I finally found my phone and saw Armani calling me. I fell back in the bed because this could be good news or bad news and i wasn't ready for it.

"Please God." I mumbled and answered the phone.

"Hello?"

"Hey. Did i wake you?"

"No what's up?"

"He uhmm.... it happened."

"My mind told me it would." I sighed. "Did he say anything before?"

"No he died in his sleep."

"I'm sorry Mani." i rubbed my forehead.

"It's fine. He wanted us to be positive."

"What's gonna happen now?"

"Well... his funeral is tomorrow." She mumbled.

"What? He haven't died 24 hours yet." i sat up.

"Our foster family planned it that way. It's already over the media and everybody's grieving."

"That's cruel."

"I know but he said something about how happy he was about this."

"Yeah?" I sat up. "He said he personally can't wait to be at his funeral." I giggled and so did she.

"I wonder why?"

"Me too."

"Do you know what was the last thing he said before he died?" she ask.

"No what?"

"I don't know. I'm asking you."

"Oh uhm. He said 'i love you baby girll, kiss my baby for me and tell Mani i love her'."

"Okay well uhm... what are your plans?"

"I'm gonna catch a plane to DC in couple hours."

"Do you want me to pick you up?"

"Yeah. I'll text you what time I'm landing."

"Sure.... And Serenity?"

"Yes?"

".... I love you. Okay?"

I smiled and nodded. "Love you too."

I hung up and sighed. Getting off the bed, i heard laughing downstairs. When i got down there, Reese and Don was having tummy time.

"Look who's awake stinky butt." He picked him up.

"I'm about to leave in two hours or three." I plopped down in the couch.

"Where to?"

"DC"

"Ah. I heard you laughing last night. I'm glad you're doing well."

"I mean i was. Until his sister called." I looked down at my hands

".... oh. I'm sorry Riri. How's everything with them?"

"She said he died in his sleep." I wiped under my eyes. "You know he told me that he hope he wake up."

"I know Ri. But i remember you telling me how positive he was. His soul is pure, best friend. He's a good man. Live your life and do what's best for you and your baby cause i know he would want that." He rubbed my shoulders. "He's not suffering anymore. When's the funeral?"
