So far, it's been nearly a month since Beyoncé died, and it's been hell for Onika. Everything feels completely different and weird. Being a single/ widowed mother was hard for her, she gave a lot of props to all single/ widowed mothers out there because this shit is too hard for her. Having your husband or wife die and leaving you with kids at a young age was terrible and even a little depressing.

Even though when Beyoncé was alive, she still was barely home due to the missions and investigations she always had to complete, leaving Onika and Brooklyn home alone. But this time it felt different not having her here because first of all, Onika just had a newborn which she was already going through postpartum and second, knowing that they were not going to be able to hear her voice or see her face through facetime anymore.

But Onika was at least thankful to have her family around to help her and get through this pain. She had her mother or mama Tina take the children on certain days and then she had Robyn who would come home to them on most evenings making sure she and kids were good and helping them out as well.

Robyn always loved her nieces and nephews, so she had no problem helping taking care of them. Also, she knew Onika was in a dark place and moment so why not help her and make sure she's good. "Rih! Did Bryson finish his bottle?!" Onika yelled out from the kitchen.

Robyn was sitting on the couch with Bryson in her arms as she was feeding him a bottle of milk. She checked the bottle and realized that it was almost empty. "No! But he's almost done!" Robyn yelled back.

After a few minutes of Onika shuffling around in the kitchen she finally came back out with a full bottle of milk for Bryson. "I don't think he wants that, he's fast asleep," Robyn says.

"Oh, well that's good," Onika says sighing as she walked over and sat on the couch across from Robyn. "I feel so fucking overwhelmed," Onika says throwing her head back.

"I know Ladybug, that's why I'm here," Robyn says with a smile.

"I know," Nicki says returning the smile.

"You just gotta take it easy sis, don't get or feel worked up all the time," Robyn says. "Like I always tell you, just take a deep breath in, say a small prayer and then continue on."

Onika sighed as she placed the bottle on the small table. "I know," She says with a small smile.

"Don't worry Ladybug, I promise everything would feel and go back to normal," Robyn says with a reassuring smile.

"Yea? You think so?" Nicki asked with a chuckle. That was hard to believe for her. She don't think anything would ever get back to normal again without Beyoncé not being here.

"Yea," Robyn replies with a shrug.

"Well I hope so," Nicki says yawning. She then turned to look back at Robyn who was slowly and softly rocking Bryson in her arms. The sight was beautiful, although she did wish it was Beyoncé rocking him to sleep and not Robyn.

"Robby, thanks so much for your help. You're the best sister to ever have," Onika.

"Of course, it's my job to be here and make sure my niece and nephew are good. I know mainly Brooklyn feels alone and sad about her daddy not being here so I at least wanna be there for her and definitely for you and Bryson. I know this shit is hard for yall," Robyn says.

"Yes Robby it is!" Onika exclaimed.

"So that's why I'm here, I'm not ever gonna leave yall alone. Ima make yall good and got everything."
