"Oh goodness, sweetheart. She is adorable! I've been waiting on your call. I missed her little face so much and it's only been four days since we last phoned." Nonna Mae spoke over the zoom call on Namiko's phone, staring at Naia.
"Isn't she? And she's actually playing now. When we took her to the park, she didn't even want to be around the other children." Namiko smiled at Naia playing with Shaniece's two youngest daughter that were around the same age as her.
Namiko and Naia were currently over Shaniece's house to take her up on the promise that she made yesterday at the Super Bowl party, saying that she'd install a wig on Namiko for the first time and do her first set of lash extensions. She was a licensed esthetician that did lashes from home as her main source of income, and she also knew how to do hair because she always did her own.
They went to the nail shop together this morning with their daughters as a mom-daughter date and it was so fun. Oh, how Namiko missed having friends. Shaniece was so understanding and extremely accommodating with her autism, too; that made her really happy.
Now, back at Shaniece and Jamell's house, Namiko was phoned by the Prime Minister because her grandmother wanted to see Naia again. They were all so happy that she had her back, regardless of her being the first Queen to have a baby out of wedlock.
"Queen Namiko, when do you two plan to return home?" The prime minister asked, sitting next to Nonna Mae.
"Oh. Um, I'm not sure. We have court in two weeks but I—I met someone down here and I'm not sure if I'm ready to leave him yet. Maybe I can stay until Springtime? Two more months?" She asked hesitantly, tilting her head to the side.
"Ah, Queen..we need you here as soon as possible." He told her, watching her expression drop with a sigh pushing through her lips.
"But—the calls have been working well. And you are the Queen so neither of us can actually tell you that it's a must for you to come back. It is only a suggestion that we can make. If you want to stay until March, you are able to do that, Queen Namiko." He added, causing her smile to instantly return.
"Please be careful my love. We need you home in one piece. I love you both very much." Nonna Mae blew a kiss at her with her trembling hand, making her smile grow further.
"We love you more! And thank you so much Prime Minister. I love you as well."
"I love you back, Queen Namiko." He chuckled, and then the both of them waved at her before the call ended.
"Bro that shit is so fucking cool. I got a real life Princess Tiana in my chair right now." Shaniece said as she hot combed the front part of Namiko's lace.
"I can't believe this isn't normal for you guys. I learned about you all's president in school and I thought he was just like me. But you guys have a Congress and senators and mayors that all run small parts of the country. It's just me doing it by myself now."
