"Who's at the door, Stella?" Nevaeh asked as someone rang the doorbell that afternoon,

"Rio Morales" Stella answered,

Hearing that last name almost made her tear up,

"Unlock the door" Nevaeh ordered,

"Hey, Vivi" Rio smiled as the door opened,

"Hey mama Rio" Nevaeh smiled as she gestured for her to come in,

"Thanks, sorry I couldn't make it in your birthday, I had work, cake?" She said as she showed her the cake she brought,

"Thanks" Nevaeh smiled as she took it from her hand,

"Have a seat, I'll get you some water" Nevaeh said as she took the cake into the kitchen,

"Thank you" Rio smiled at her, taking the glass of cold water from her hand,

Nevaeh sighed, not letting her eyes meet the woman's,

"I heard about the fight" Rio whispered, setting the glass down on the table,

Nevaeh sighed, massaging her forehead with her hands,

"He hates me, doesn't he?" She asked,

"No, not at all, Vivi, he doesn't" Rio assured her,

"How are you so sure? He's made it clear that he doesn't want me anymore, he doesn't answer calls or texts" Nevaeh asked,

"Vivi darling, it's not like so" She mumbled, reaching out to caress her hand,

"He just needs time, he's been thinking about you Nevaeh, he never leaves his room, he always carries around your childhood picture around" Rio told her,

"Childhood photo? What childhood photo?" Nevaeh asked,

"Well, you had a really big smile on, wearing your dad's official cap while he held you up in his arms, smiling at you" Rio explained,

"He really took it?" Nevaeh chuckled,

"It's always in his pocket, I've caught him staring at it a couple of times" Rio smiled,

Nevaeh shook her head as she laughed, wiping the tears that fell unto her face,

"Honestly, Miles just needs a few days, he'll come around eventually and something tells me it's very soon because you've become such a huge part of his life that I doubt he'd let you go like that" Rio said,

"If only she knew" Nevaeh said in her mind,

"I really hope you're right" Nevaeh sighed,

"Look, Miles is my son, I know for a fact that he isn't angry anymore, he just doesn't know how to face you again" Rio whispered as she wrapped an arm around Nevaeh's shoulder,

"Plus, he dad died around this time so he's really going through a lot" Rio mumbled,

"I'm so sorry, Mama Rio" Nevaeh mumbled, hugging her to comfort her,

Rio sighed, kissing the side of her head,

"I really want the both of you to figure this out, because this break doesn't look good on any of you" Rio said, sighing into her hair,

"I'll try my best" Nevaeh whispered,

"Thank... You" Rio yawned,

Nevaeh noticed that she had her scrubs on,

"Are you just coming from work?" She asked as she released her,

"Yeah, I had to come here immediately, because God knows that if I went home first, I'm not coming near here and I really needed to check up on you" Rio whispered tiredly,
