This is just as short note before the chapter.
I wanted to thank everyone for understanding why I didn't want to write and update anything. I also appreciated all of the prayers and condolences sent to my family.

*Olivia*I was humming as I mixed the cake batter together before setting it in the oven after taking the cinnamon toast and rolls out, fixing mine a Gracie's plate I set them on the table and walking to Gracie's room to wake her up.
"Sunshine, time to get up. I have breakfast ready."
"I up," she mumbled sleepily and I smile carrying her the the bathroom and washing her face before walking back to the kitchen.
"Are you excited about this afternoon?"
"Yeah," Gracie smiled taking a bite out of her cinnamon roll. "All my family will be at my party. Is Bumble coming?"
"He said he would," I smile setting my plate in the sink. "I do know that Jamie is bringing Sadie."
"Really, I hadn't seen her in forever." Gracie squealed jumping out of her seat.
"Let me get the cake out of the oven then I'll help you get a bath," I smiled kissing her forehead. "Can you pick up you're toys and games that are in the living room?"
"Yes Mama," she smiled running off, I smiled grabbing the cake board and pot holders and taking the cake out.

"Are you sure Gracie will like it?" I asked Kenya as I stated down at the box.
"Of course she will," Kenya smiled closing the lid and tying the bow. "I spoke with Alecovich and he said that Gracie had been asking for one for months. Now let's go in before someone comes out asking if something's wrong."
"Yeah," I muttered grunting when Kenya shoved the box in my arms. Walking through the house I followed Kenya through the back door looking around for Olivia after spotting Gracie in the pool with a girl I didn't recognize.
"You're late," turning my head I blinked at Olivia. "I was starting to think you weren't going to show."
"Had to pick Gracie's gift up," I said handing Olivia the box. "You look nice."
"Thanks," she smiled looking down at the box when it started making noise. "Uh."
"Kenya spoke with Alec and he said she wanted one," I mumbled looking Olivia down taking in her swimwear.
"Bumble!" I turned and grabbed Gracie up. "You came."
