"Stop calling my mommy! She's very very sick right now." Caiah shouted into the phone after answering an incoming Facetime call from none other than Caius. He had called over twenty times, and that was just in the afternoon alone, in the morning it was even worse, but Caiah wasn't there to witness it.

Caius looked over at the camera and rose his eyebrows after seeing a younger looking Cyera staring back at him with an angry pout. "Caiah?" he asked just to be sure, even though he was more than sure that the little girl he was looking at was an offspring of his friend. Their faces matched to a T.

Caiah tilted her head after hearing him call her name, "Who are you?" she asked.

"Caius, I'm your... mommy's friend." he answered.

"Ok. Stop calling." Caiah said, lifting a finger to press the red 'end' button at the top but Caius quickly stopped her.

"Hold on, damn don't hang up on me, what you mean she's sick? What happened?" Caius asked, and Caiah let out a hard sigh.

"She got hurt by nana. And she cry, and then she Sleeping Beauty." Caiah explained as best as her brain could, since she still didn't fully understand what happened nor what was currently wrong with Cyera right now. All she knew was she wouldn't wake up, and assumed it was because she was 'hurt' last night.

Caius nodded though, because he understood half of what she meant. The only reason he was blowing up Cyera's phone in the first place was because Vincent told him she and her mother got into it really bad at his birthday dinner. And Cyera seemed extremely hurt at something that happened when Vincent left the room. He was hoping Caius could get to the bottom of it or at least make her feel better.

Caius just didn't understand what she meant about Cyera being 'Sleeping Beauty'.
"Can I see her?" he asked.

Caiah shuffled over to her mother and laid down directly next to her, aiming the camera so that he could see Cyera was indeed sleeping. "See? She sleep."

"Caiah touch her neck or her forehead for me lil mama, is it cold or hot?"

She followed his directions, moving her arm she placed a hand under Cyera's chin. Before she could even reach her neck, Caiah retracted her hand and gasped. "Really hot!" she exclaimed, looking over at Caius who was already getting inside of his car, ready to go over there.

"I'm about to come to your house okay? You know how to unlock and open a door right?" Caius scratched his head, he wasn't really aware of what a mere three year old could do. Honestly he was surprised that she could even speak and understand what he was saying.

"Duh." she answered back sassily which made Caius do a double take to make sure he was really talking to a child right now. "Why are you coming?" she then asked.

"Cause you right, your mom is sick and she needs help. I can help her." he explained, already starting up his car and taking off towards the direction of Cyera's house.

"Why can't I just call BB?"

Caius sucked his teeth, "Cause she don't know what the hell she doing, she slow." his statement made Caiah let out a loud giggle, which earned a smile from Caius in return. He was glad she was warming up to him, because he wasn't very sure how to deal with kids. He never really had to before.
