"We'll be fine. You wanna know why? Because were Nikki and Vanity."
She nodded, staring up at him with eyes full of hope and love. "...And we get through everything. We'll be okay."

I rubbed my eyes as I woke up, face buried in the dark blue pillow sheets. I turned over seeing Nikki was still sound asleep, his hair covered up the majority of his face as he snored a little bit. I laid back on my elbows when I heard the doorbell. I yawned, seeing the clock read eight in the morning. I heard the doorbell again. I sighed heavily before discarding the blankets and grabbing the shirt Nikki was wearing last night, slipping it over my shoulders before leaving the bedroom with Anarchy in tow.
I walked down the stairs, seeing two figures on the other side of the door through the glass. I rubbed my face, walking over to the door and opening it. My eyes widened when I saw my mom standing there with luggage and another woman with brown curls and a very dark shade of red on her lips.
"M-mom what? What are you doing here?" I stumbled over my words, confused as I stared at her, taking a quick glance at the other woman.
"You said you needed help planning Nikki's birthday party, didn't you? Vanity, this is Nikki's mo-" My mom replied before being cut off.
"Deanna Richards. I'm Nikki's mother, he had called me a few days ago and suggested I come and help." I stared at her before turning back to my mom.
I'm sorry? What?
"Mom, it's only eight. And the party isn't for a few more days. I...I just woke up and Nikki is still sleeping.." I said, combing my fingers through my hair.
"And you wanted it to be big right? So that's gonna take a few days to plan and all the calls and picking things out, we have to figure it all out before hand." I stared blankly at her as she continued. I moved to the side allowing mom to come in her suitcase in tow as Deanna followed in after her, a suitcase being held by her as well.
I was confused as I closed the door, "Good to see you honey." Mom said as she pulled me a hug, I hugged her back as I saw Deanna looking around the house and at the picture frames hanging on the wall.
"Thank you for wanting to help me, I want to do a big party for him since he's never really had one...plus he was always to strung out on his birthday.." I said, glancing over at Deanna as she sat down at the kitchen table.
I started brewing a pot of coffee, letting Anna out into the backyard before getting her a bowl of food ready. I turned back around to see both of our moms mingling. I felt uncomfortable, "I'm uh...I'm gonna go wake him up...maybe put on some pants..." I mumbled but they didn't acknowledge me.
