Ali POV

I park my car. I get out and grab the gifts. I'm at Hanna's hoping we can talk it out. I feel so bad. I knock on the door. The door opens.

Han: what do you want?

Ali: can we talk?

She looks at me.

Ali: I brought wine.

Han: fine.

We walk to the kitchen. I open the wine she hands me the glasses.

Han: why are you here?

Ali: I'm so sorry about what I did and said. I was a total bitch. I shouldn't have been that aggressive to her. I do love her I just don't know.

I drink some of my wine.

Han: thank you for apologizing. She misses you. She feels very bad.

Ali: I don't deserve her forgiveness.

Han: damn straight.

Ali: where is she?

Han: she's in her play room upstairs.

I grab the other bag and walk upstairs. I walk into her room. She looks up and smiles.

Gravity: auntie Ali!

She hugs me I hug her back.

Ali: hi honey. I'm so sorry for yelling at you that will never happen again.

Gravity: I'm sorry for ruining your drawings and stuff.

Ali: it's ok honey I forgive you.

Gravity: me too.

Ali: I got you a little something so that it doesn't happen again.

She smiles. I take out a sketch pad and crayons.

Gravity: thank you! Can we draw?


Ali: sure.

We go to her little table. She pushes her toys to the floor. We sit down and draw. I try to come up with new sketches.

Gravity: auntie Ali?

Ali: yes honey?

Gravity: don't you have a baby?

Ali: I'm not very good with kids.

Gravity: I love you.

Ali: yeah.

Gravity: you should have a baby. I could babysit.

Ali: no honey I'm not having a baby.

Gravity: you would be a cool mommy.

Ali: thank you.

She is so sweet.

Gravity: you should have a baby.

Ali: Gravity.

Gravity: sorry.

After a while we head downstairs.

Ali: I have to get going.

Han: ok. I'll see you at work tomorrow.
