A knock on their front door made Ally furrow her eyebrows. If Lauren and Dinah were coming over, she would've gotten a text and they would've barged in. Normani would come through the garage. She carefully made her way over to the door. She looked through the peep hole to see Kehlani and her daughter.

Ally opened the door with a smile, "hi, Kehlani right?"

"Oh thank god. Yeah that's me. Um, I know I'm springing this on you but I was wondering if you could watch Adeya? I got called into work last minute and my babysitter is out of town for a few days," Kehlani looked at her, smiling cheekily.

"Oh of course! I'd love to," Ally said.

"Oh my gosh bless your soul. Here," Kehlani gave Ally Adeya's bag, "um, there's a note in there with what she likes and just stuff like that, also with my phone number. Thank you again, so much," Kehlani gave Ally a hug.

"Don't worry about it, you and Adeya are welcome any time," Ally said.

"Thank you thank you thank you. Okay, Adeya," Kehlani squatted down to her daughter, "this is Ally. Ally is going to take care of you while mommy goes to work, you be good girl, okay?" Adeya nodded. "Okay, thank you baby. I'll be back at around five or six," Kehlani said, standing again.

"We'll be here," ally smiled.

"Thank you again, so much," Kehlani gave Adeya's hand to Ally. "Bye baby, be good!" Kehlani rushed over to her car, waving at the two in the doorway.

"Bye mommy!" Adeya waved. When Kehlani pulled out of Ally's driveway and sped away, Ally took Adeya inside.

"Hi Adeya, I'm Ally," Ally squatted to Adeya's level.

Adeya nodded, "Lily." Ally laughed.

"Sure, that works. Do you want to make brownies with me?" Ally asked.

"'es p'ease!" Adeya squealed, clapping.

"Thank you for your manners, sweetie. C'mon, let's go to the kitchen," Ally set Adeya's bag down and guided Adeya to the kitchen. Ally originally wasn't planning on making anything today, but she figured it'd give them something to do for a good amount of time. Ally put on happy, pop music.

"Do you want to go up on the counter?" Ally asked. Adeya nodded. "Okay," Ally picked the toddler up and sat her on the counter. "Here, you can hold this for me, we'll use it later, okay?" Ally handed Adeya the whisk. Adeya nodded.

Ally got the butter, sugar, salt, and cocoa powder into a bowl. Adeya was swaying happily to the beat, waving the whisk around with a big smile on her face. Ally laughed.

"Okay, we're going to put this in the microwave," Ally lifted the bowl into the microwave above the stove. She preheated the oven and when the microwave beeped, she made sure it was melted and put it back on the counter next to adeya.

"Can i have that now?" Ally pointed to the whisk. Adeya nodded and held it out. "Thank you love," Ally smiled, taking the whisk. Ally mixed the ingredients together. She then added vanilla and egg and mixed it again. Once that was mixed, she added another egg and mixed it, the mix looking like a shiny pudding. Ally grabbed flour and added a half cup of flour, mixing it together.

"Okay Adeya, hold this," Ally pulled an eight inch squat pan out and put it next to the bowl. Adeya put her two tiny hands onto the lip of the pan, holding it as ally had told her. Ally poured the mixture into the pan, "good job Adeya." Ally praised, smiling at the girl. Adeya giggled and clapped.

The oven beeped, signaling it was preheated. "This is going into the oven and we can watch something while we wait, okay?" Ally grabbed the pan as Adeya nodded. Ally put it in the oven and set a timer for eighteen minutes. "What do you want to watch?" Ally took Adeya by her underarms and carried her over to the couch, turning the music off and the television on.
