Making Us Whole

Kareem and Chanel have been rocking together for a while now-raising their son, figuring out life, and holding each other down through the ups and downs. Their bond runs deep, built on shared struggles, laughs, and a quiet kind of loyalty that doesn't always need words. Chanel's in love for real-she sees a future with him and wants to make things official, not just for her, but for the family they've already started. Kareem feels it too. He loves her more than he lets on, and deep down, he wants the same thing. But he's holding back-not because he doesn't want her, but because his heart's caught on the dream of having a daughter with her. It's like he's waiting for the picture to be complete before he fully steps in. He's scared, not of commitment, but of not being enough, of messing up something that already means everything to him. Still, the way he looks at Chanel? You can tell-he already sees her as home.
