"You good, baby?" Terry asked as he buckled Amilyan into her seatbelt.

"Yeah, Im just ready to get home to get into my own bed." I said as the nurse helped me up.

"Thank you so much." Terry said thanking the nurse as they helped me into Terry's BMW.

"Um, Mr. Hightower, my son has been a fan of you since you started to become a big hit. Can I get an autograph?" The nurse asked smiling.

"Of course. It's funny you asked that because I have a rookie card of myself that I got recently. He can have it as a special gift."

"He would love that." She said smiling.

I smiled. I'm so glad Terry had a kind heart and is willing to talk to people who adore him. That's better than being rude and stuck up.

After Terry gave the nurse the card, he got into the BMW.

"How is she, baby?" Terry asked as he started driving.

"She's fine. She's going to sleep." I said as I fixed my baby girl's covers.

"That's good. What you want to eat tonight?"

"I don't know, but that hospital food was too delicious. I'll miss it." I said giggling a little bit as I looked out the window.

"I'll never know because somebody loves being stingy." Terry said as he started driving a little bit faster.

"Baby, where you going? You about to miss—"

Terry drove past the turn that we went through when we first arrived to the hospital.

"Baby, are you lost? You missed the turn."

"No, I didn't."

"Yes, you did. Can you not read the street sign?" I asked as I looked back.

"I have to go by a friend's house really quick."

"Seriously, babe? I just want to take Mily home, so she can get some comfortable rest. Mommy really needs rest, too." I said yawning a little bit.

"Don't worry, baby. It's not gonna take long." Terry said as he looked at me through the rearview mirror.

"Fine." I said as I checked on Amilyan. It feels like I need to check on her every five seconds. I don't know why, but if I don't have my eyes on her I'm always freaked out.

Terry kept driving and driving and fifteen minutes later we pulled up to a gated community. Terry got out the car and took Amilyan in her car seat.

"Wait a minute, you aren't gonna be taking our child into anybody's house."

"Baby, calm down. My friends wants to see the baby."

"Hell no, Terry. I don't know your friends. Who are they?" I said as I was about to get out the car.

"Baby, relax. I'm not gonna let anybody hurt her. I got my baby. You chill." Terry said as he gave me a kiss.

"Terry, I—"

"We coming right back. Stay put. Love you." Terry said blowing me a kiss.

"Mhm, you better bring my baby back. You got three minutes."

"Five."

"One."

"Ten."

"Zero point five."
