Friday afternoon 3PM local time in Miami Florida,

The four of them arrived at the beach mansion of Mr and Mrs Anderson, they practically live at the beach, having a little private beach as their backyard next to having a nice sitting area too

"Come in, Elijah is not back yet, Friday is one of his days at the office" Mrs Anderson explained after hugging both her daughters and the men making her 'little' girls happy "He'd be surprised y'all are here" she smiled leading them to the livingroom

"We're early because we leave on Sunday" Tracee mentioned taking place on the couch next to her husband

"I'm not sure yet if WE leave on Sunday" Gail mentioned, meaning herself and Romeo

"Why Sunday?" Mrs Anderson asked Tracee

"Fashion week is in less than two months, five weeks to be exact" Tracee answered

"You're done with designing everything right?" Mrs Anderson asked

"Just putting a few finishing touches here and there and making sure the models do what they're supposed to do" Tracee explained

"Isn't it their job to be on the catwalk?" Mrs Anderson asked

"I want it to be perfect" Tracee told her

"I'm sure it will be perfect" Mrs Anderson smiled "Anyway y'all want some tea I just made it" she asked

"Sure sounds good, but could we enjoy it outside?" Gail asked, wanting to soak up as much sun as possible now she's in Miami away from the Manhattan snowy winter

"Of course" Mrs Anderson smiled knowing how much her youngest daughter loves the heat and hates the cold weather

After their third cup of tea and catching up, mostly Mrs Anderson and Romeo talking about why he wasn't at the church that day and how much it broke his heart too but he did what he thought was better for Gail at the time

While they talked Michael and Tracee sat down by the little piece of private beach at the end of the estate, enjoying some time alone to talk about important things, such as obviously their passion and current projects but also about a baby will always be their priority above everything when they by some miracle end up becoming parents

"Kaylee I'm home" Mr Anderson announced looking for his wife

"I'm outside" Mrs Anderson replied

"You know the new inter- Gail, what are you doing in Miami?" Mr Anderson gasped finding his youngest next to his wife on the bench outside

"It's your birthday tomorrow" Gail smiled and hugged her father

"But aren't you like busy right now?" Mr Anderson asked

"Cleared my shedule for next week" Gail smiled

"You're staying a whole week?" Mr Anderson asked surprised

"Yes, I need some sun, Manhattan ain't that sunny these days" Gail replied "And Romeo hasn't seen your new place yet" she added

"Romeo Romeo the same Romeo who you were supposed to marry?" Mr Anderson asked raising his brow

"Yes" Gail nodded and sweetly kissed her ex fiance who's her boyfriend now

"You are the same Romeo?" Mr Anderson asked not believing this muscular guy is the same person as that nerdy guy who dated his little girl some years ago

"Yes sir I'm the same Romeo" Romeo replied

"Well why did yo-" Mr Anderson was about to ask when they all got interuppted by some splashing and laughter by the water finding Michael and Tracee both soaked from the water and helping each other back onto the sand and making their way back to the others
