Forever And Always (HCBTO Sequel)

21

The sun rose and Imani's alarm went off. After she showered and threw on her robe, she walked into Sky's room "Wake up pumpkin butt" she said, going through her closet, looking for some clothes.

Sky sat up slowly and rubbed her eyes "I hate school" she mumbled, pouting.

"Well u got 12 more years left. U want to shower by yourself?"

She nodded "I use bubbles too?"

"Yes, and I'll be back so u can get dressed"

Sky knew how to run her own bathe water so Imani walked out after laying out her clothes, then going into Jayceones room.

He was still laying in bed with both arms behind his head "Jay, how u feeling?"

"Like shit" he mumbled "I miss her" he confessed. Imani sat on the edge of his bed "I know I sit and tell everybody I ain't got feelins for her, but I'm just now realizing how deep my feelins for her are"

"That's how it is sometimes" Imani said "I'll bring your home work back"

Jayceone looked at his sister "And my ice cream please"

"Okie dokie. Get some rest" she kissed his cheek before going into the guest room, where Xavier was sleeping. When she walked in, he was coming out the bathroom with cargoes and no shirt. "U look tired"

"I am" he yawned, grabbing his shirt "We didn't come back till 4 something" he slipped it over his head "Plus I got work tonight. 3 to closing"

"Aw, u want to stay here and sleep in? Jayceone is"

"Yea, being back my work for me" he grabbed her hand, pulling her closer "What u got on under this robe?" He smirked, trying to peek.

Imani popped his hand "Nothing boy, move" she laughed "Kiss?" Standing on her tippy toes, he pecked her lips "Get some rest"

Going back into Sky's room, Imani told her it was time to get out the tub before returning back to her room to get dressed.

Putting on a truck fit hoodie, jeans and red vans, she went downstairs and made and Sky some cereal while her mom stood at the stove, making pancakes for Damian.

"What'd the doctor say last night?"

Her mom sighed "Things went well with surgery, and they're just waiting for her to wake up. If she ever does"

"If she ever does?"

"Yea, if Lona's mom comes and chooses to pull the plug, they have too"

"What? That's not fair. Her mom left her here, with an abusive father and boyfriend. Its clear she doesn't care for her"

Tiny footsteps are heard coming downstairs.

"We'll talk later" Sydney said. She picked up Sky and sniffed her neck, making her laugh.

"Mommy stop it" Sky laughed loudly.

"But u smell good baby. I can't smell u?" She sniffed Sky again.

"I'm telling daddy"

Just then Damian came walking downstairs "Tell me what?"

Sky hopped out of Sydney's arms and ran over to Damian, holding his legs "Mommy sniff me like this" she sniffed his pants, mailing everyone laugh.

"U want me to tickle her for u?" Damian asked, walking close to Sydney, Sky still on her leg.

"Yea daddy, get her"

Closing her in the corner of the counter, Damian started tickling Sydney, making her laugh loudly as Sky cheered her dad on.

"Imani" Sydney laughed out "Get him"

"Nope, cause every time he tickles me, u don't help" Imani said, throwing her hands up in surrender.

Sydney pushed Damian back "I hope both of y'all remember this. I got y'all"

"Gimmie high five baby girl. She can't get us" Sky high dived her dad as he picked her up and threw her over his shoulder "Alright, I'm out"

He pecked Sydney's lips then kissed Imani's forehead as he walked towards the door. "Wait daddy, I'm still here" Sky's small voice said.

"Who said that?" Damian turned around "Was the Sky?"

"Yes daddy, its me"

"I hear u but don't see u" he continued to turn and look for her "Where are u? I think I lost her baby"

"U lost Sky?" Sydney asked smiling.

"No mommy, I'm here" Everyone laughed as Damian set her on the ground "U lost me daddy" she potted, folding her arms.

"I'm sorry sweetie. Kiss?" He got to her level and she smiled, kissing his cheek "U love me skittles?" She nodded quickly, her beads knocking against each other. "how much?"

She spread her arms as wide as they could go "This much daddy"

"How much u love me Sky?" Imani asked, eating her cereal.

"This much" her arms the same width apart. "But I love mommy this much" she tried opening her arms more "I can't go that far mommy"

"Its ok baby, I love you more. Come give me a kiss" Sky ran to her mom and kissed her cheek.

"Alright, I'm out forreal this time. Love y'all, and be safe"

"Love you too daddy" all 3 girls said as he opened the door. Imani looked at her mom and shook her head.

"Just nasty" she smiled.
