Aleesha let out a sigh of exhaustion as she rubbed her eyes and put her glasses on the table. She rested her elbows on her desk as she put her head in her hands. The plans for her companies expansion were going to plan, they had already started construction in New York they just needed her to sign a couple of things before they could officially finish, but Aleesha couldn't help but feel guilty. Guilty for the way she went about things with Richard, she knew he wouldn't have said no if she had just told him properly.

Lifting her head from her hands Aleesha's eyes caught sight of her desktop background. It was a picture she had snapped of Richard on their anniversary date. Aleesha had just smeered some of her tropical frozen yogurt across his cheek, Richard wore a full bright smile. His bronze skin glowing in the Miami sun. Aleesha couldn't help the smile on her face as she recalled him running after her on the pier yelling that he would get her back before smeering his berry frozen yogurt across her cheek much to her protest about her make up being ruined to which Richard replied "it's fine, you're beautiful without it"

A knock at the door pulled Aleesha out of her trip down memory lane as she yelled a "come in" before she put her glasses back on.

"Hey" Aaliyah said walking in with a small bowl "i made some oats, thought you may want some"
"thanks" Aleesha said taking the bowl from her hand
"I'll let you get back to work" Aaliyah said turning on her heel
"Li" Aleesha said quickly making Aaliyah stop in her tracks
"Yeah?" Aaliyah asked
"Do you think i was selfish for not telling Richard about the move?" Aleesha asked
"Honest opinion?" Aaliyah asked making Aleesha nod
"Always"

"Honestly i think you do too much behind Richard's back. It was the contraceptives first and now this. You're married Aleesha, you need to understand that if you keep doing things behind his back he isn't going to trust you anymore and what is a marriage without trust? Richard is going to support you no matter what choices you make Leesha, he's your husband for God's sake and you need to start treating him like that" Aaliyah said

By the time Aaliyah had finished speaking tears had already begun streaming down Aleesha's cheeks making Aaliyah sigh as she knelt down in front of her best friend

"Look i'm sure Richard hasn't taken it to heart, just go to him and apologise and never do this whole sneaking behind his back thing again okay?" Aaliyah said handing her a tissue
"Okay" Aleesha sniffed
"He loves you, I love you and Ray loves you okay?" Aaliyah assured
"I love you guys too" Aleesha smiled

Erick walked into his and Ray's bedroom to find Ray sitting cross legged with Sienna while doing her hair. Sienna's eyes were trained on the TV while Ray parted her hair into 4 sections. He made his way over to the bed and laid down, putting his head in Sienna's lap.

"Hola mi familia" Erick greeted
"Hola papa, como estas?" Sienna said to Erick
"Estoy bien y tu princesa?" Erick said to her
"Bien" Sienna said proudly with a smile
"Your Spanish is getting better mí amor" Erick beamed "besos?"
"Besos para papi"Sienna said leaning down to give her father a kiss
"Yeah as bad as Christopher is, he's been a good teacher"
Ray laughed "speaking of, Sienna's been accepted to that kindergarten, they wanna interview her next week"
"Oh that's amazing niña!" Erick smiled tickling Sienna's sides making her giggle
"Hey i'm still busy with the hair!" Ray scolded "So i realised i can't fetch her on her first week because i have work"
"Okay i'll make a plan to- wait a minute work?" Erick asked sitting up to look at Ray
"Yup, my first day is after Sienna's" Ray said "please don't, i beg you not to tell me not to go to work because you know how much this means to me"

"Fine, fine but if you're going to work you can't work for long hours" Erick instructed "that means no surgeries until after you deliver this baby"
"Okay deal" Ray smiled
"Look at us being mature and shit" Erick smirked "a few months ago w me would have fought over this"
"but now we're compromising" Ray giggled "that's on growth"
"That's on being parents" Erick said placing a kiss on Ray's lips
"i think someone also wants a kiss" Ray giggled

Erick looked down to see Sienna pouting while looking at her dad. He let out a laugh before giving her a kiss which she squealed at before throwning her arms around her fathers neck.

"coming!" Christopher yelled as he ran to get the door. He opened the door to reveal a woman who looked no older than 40 years. She looked Christopher up and down, concidering he wasn't wearing anything aside from sweatpants.

"Can I help you?" Christopher asked starting to feel uncomfortable with her staring
"I'm looking for my daughter" she said vaguely
"Name?" Christopher trailed off
"Babe I think i finally got Faraday's rule of electromagnetic induction!" Kat yelled excitedly running into the living room
"Kat" The lady said
"Mom!" Kat yelled
"Mom?" Christopher questioned
"Where are your clothes?" Kat's mom asked horrified to see her daughter wearing nothing but a shirt
"Upstairs- i was studying" Kat quickly explained
"With no clothes on?" Kat's mother asked
"Mom i'm wearing a shirt" Kat sighed
"We will talk about this later" She said pointing to her daughter "You, get my bags"
"Me?" Christopher asked
"Yes" Kat's mother said "I need to have a chat with my daughter"

Shaking the bottle, Aaliyah placed Mia's bottle in hot water to ensure it wouldn't get cold before beginning on Theo's. She heard someone enter the kitchen but didn't bother turning around since there were 15 people in the house.

"You may not know it yet but Zabdiel is going to be mine" Malu said making Aaliyah roll her eyes
"Is that so?" Aaliyah taunted
"Yes, so i suggest you stay the fück away from my man" She spat
"Didn't you sleep in Zion's bed last night??? i'm pretty sure i heard some giggling from there so make up your mind, Zion or Zabdiel?" Aaliyah smirked
"It- it doesn't matter!" Malu said
"I see you're fresh out of kindergarten. lemme explain it to you. This is real life, you don't claim shit you work for it and i worked for my marriage" Aaliyah said coldly "So i suggest you don't play with the big dogs, because you will get bitten"

With that Aaliyah grabbed Mia's bottle and walking past Malu she walked up to hers and Zabdiel's bedroom. She handed Zabdiel Theo's bottle while she gave Mia hers while monitoring her attempts to feed herself

"Can you believe that tiny little Chihuahua tried to bark at me??? i ought to send Ray on her ass for even attempting to speak to the queen can you imagine her nerve to tell me you're her man??? like this 20 carat bling isn't enough" Aaliyah ranted

There was silence before she looked over at Zabdiel whose eyes were trained on his laptop, all his concentration put on whatever was on his screen so much so that he hadn't realised Theo trying to reach for the bottle in his hand.

"Are you even listening to me?" Aaliyah snapped taking the bottle from his hand and handing it to Theo
"I'm sorry repeat what you said mi amor" Zabdiel said mindlessly
"So no" Aaliyah said rolling her eyes "what are you looking at?"
"Houses" Zabdiel blurted "for us"
"When did we speak about moving?" Aaliyah asked
"We're gonna speak about it after i'm done here" Zabdiel announced
"Amor wait" Aaliyah said closing his laptop "why?"
"After that meeting about these boys moving in and Ali not concidering the fact that i have. a family i've been thinking" Zabdiel sighed
"About?" Aaliyah asked
"Leaving the band" Zabdiel said
"wait what?" aaliyah asked shocked that he would even think of the idea "i thought you loved music"
"I do but i have a family now that i have to put first and if it means quitting then i'll do that" Zabdiel sighed
"Look Zabdiel, i know things arn't what you want them to be but trust me you'll regret this. I know you disagreed with Ali but quitting the thing you love isn't the move. Look how about you give it some thought, we'll revisit the idea next week and if you still feel the same then so be it" Aaliyah advised rubbing his cheek
"Okay" Zabdiel agreed
"Good, now Theo's gonna puke all over you" Aaliyah smiled
"how do you-

Before Zabdiel could finish his sentence Theo had already opened his mouth to puke all over his dad making Zabdiel groan
"Told ya" Aaliyah giggled
