Empire : A Journey Back to You

Captured

Cookie had woken up a bit early before Lucious to check in on how everyone was doing. After getting dressed, she sat on his side and gave him kisses. He shifted a bit but nothing he was tired she could tell so she let him rest. Strolling down the hallway she peeped in on Renee who was sleeping as well.

Opening the front door, she took in the fresh air and made her way down the path to Carols she should be up by now. She knocked on their door.

Nick: morning Cook.

Cookie: Carol up?

Nick: Yea she in here watching the news. Coming in she saw Carol yelling at the TV.

Nick: Babe calm down.

Carol: No the guy is a liar and you know it.

Cookie: Girl that man cant hear you.

Carol: Good Morning Mrs. Lyon now Id think Candace would be over here by now.

Candace: Me too. Carol rubbed her bump.

Cookie: Yea lets go.

Meanwhile Frankie was in the chair watching shark week in his Pjs. He had gone into his parents room and found them sleeping so he decided to brush his teeth and wait for them to get up.

Carol Knocked on their door and Frankie went to get it.
