Violet Ankamah's POV.

"You guys want something to eat? We just baked a whole bunch of stuff" Trinity asks, already holding my arm and pulling me into the house.

I look at Orion.

"Don't fight it. You won't win" he says, putting Aaliyah down.

I walk with Trinity to the kitchen.

She rubs her large belly and picks a cupcake off the table.

"I knew you were coming over, so I made red velvet cupcakes too!" She says excitedly.

Orion chuckles.

"Thanks Trin. They're my favourite" he says, biting into one.

Trinity looks at me and does an exaggerated wink wink.

I giggle at just how excited she is about all this.

It's mine too.

Orion offers me a bite of the cupcake he's holding.

I take a bite and I smile at Trinity.

"They're so good!" I tell her.

She grins.

"Thank you! And y'all are too cute!" She gushed, making me blush.

Orion pulls me closer to him and I hide my face in my hands.

"Where is Josiah?" He asks.

"Out in the back" Trinity says.

He looks at me.

"You okay if I leave you with Trin a while?" He asks gently.

I nod.

She seems lovely.

He leans down, tipping my jaw up to kiss him.

I kiss him and he tastes like the velvet cake.

I pull away first and he smirks and leaves.

As soon as he leaves, Trinity turns to me with a big smirk.

"You've got him whipped!" She giggles.

I laugh, my attention on another cupcake that she hands me.

"You trying to stuff me?" I joke.

"Ah, don't change the subject. Yes. But don't change the subject" she says.

I grin and I look away.

"Well I like him a lot" I confess, eating the cupcake.

She pokes my side.

"Well I'm happy you're both happy. He hasn't had a glow like this in nearly 8 years!" She says.

"I've been pressuring him to get back into dating, but he always makes the excuse of work or focusing on Aaliyah" she says.

I nod.

She looks outside, where Orion, Aaliyah and a man that I assume is Josiah, are playing in the sun.

She looks at her husband lovingly and to Orion with a friendly fondness.

She looks lost in thought as she speaks.

"But never get it twisted. I don't have romantic interest in him anymore, but he is the father of my daughter and my friend. Don't hurt him. Please. Cause if you do, the moment this baby pops out, I'll be at your door" she says.

I nod, understanding.

Where Aaliyah is involved, I don't want any casualties either.

I'd do the same if I had a kid.
