"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."

"Are we there yet?"
I closed my eyes, bringing sunglasses over my face as i ignored Arianna's persistency. I looked out the window, seeing all the mansions and perfectly green grass that was all too familiar. Arianna and I arrived in Los Angeles about an hour ago, with a trunkful of luggage as most of our stuff had already been shipped to the house.
"Mom, are we there yet?"
I looked over at her, noticing she was staring out the window, "Yeah, just a couple more minutes." I assured her. Nikki had a driver pick us up from the airport as he was busy running around getting stuff and making sure the house was ready for when we arrived. He had left New York two weeks prior once I told him I wanted to come back home. Nikki was over the moon.
Arianna seemed to take us telling her we were moving okay? She was upset the first few days as she didn't want to leave her little friends but then Nikki started telling her all the cool things in California and she was no longer upset.
My heart began to race as we parked in front of black gates before the chauffeur punched in the code and they opened up, "Mom! There's daddy!" I smiled as Arianna pointed to Nikki who was sitting on the front steps with a bouquet of flowers in his hands. The car came to a stop as I helped Arianna get unbuckled before she opened up the car door herself and ran into Nikki's arms.
I got out of the car, examining the house before Arianna's fit of laughter and excited screams pierced through the air as Nikki scooped her up and covered her face in kisses, "I've missed you so much pumpkin! Did you have fun on the plane?"
"Yes! Mommy let me sit by the window! It was the coolest thing ever!" I forced a smile when she looked at me. I noticed there was now a water fountain in the middle of the driveway, I wonder if that was Brandi's doing? Concrete planters by the steps were a new addition as dark red roses were planted, beginning to wilt in the autumn air
I heard a jingle plus the patter of paws run out the front door, "Anarchy!" I yelled her name before getting low and sticking my hand out. She approached me, tail between her legs as she growled a bit before sniffing my hand. She soon pounced on me, smothering me in slobbery kisses, "Oh baby, I've missed you so much! Look at you! You're so big now!" My smile was wide as I scratched between her ears.
Arianna walked up behind me, "Be gentle with her, okay?" I muttered, showing Ari how to pet her softly. I stood up, dusting off my jeans as Nikki caught me off guard by picking me up.
