Aaliyah

There was a big accident on the four towards Wendy's and all the other fast food places so I went to a smoothie shop.

"Mommy I want strawberry and banana's" Kairi said trying to get into my arms. "Ups !"

"Wait a minute"

Calling Dave I looked at the menu deciding what to get.

"Hey baby" he smiled once we connected

"Hey, what type of smoothie do you want ? I couldn't make it to any fast food places."

"It doesn't matter, anything with kiwi"

"Okay, lemme talk to Hope"

"She's sleeping"

"I'm awake" I heard her say lowly

"Well she was sleeping" Dave mumbled watching something.

Seconds later Hope's in the camera smiling

"Hi mommy"

"Hey my baby, do you want a strawberry and banana smoothie?"

"Can I can kiwi in it?" She questions raising a eyebrow

"Of course, l'll see you in a few"

I ordered our smoothies and got two fruit salad.

Kairi and I sat by a window waiting for our drinks.

"Babe?" Dave called

"Yes Dave ?" I answered eating a grape

"I miss you"

"I could lie and I miss you too but I won't. Are you okay ? How are you feeling?"

"I'm okay, I want you to hurry up tho"

"I'm just waiting on our drinks, if Hope talking to you?"

"No, but when a nurse or doctor comes to check on her she comes to me"

"Try asking about her favorite song and cookies. That girl could talk about cookies all day long" I shook my head thinking about the time Hope wouldn't stop talking about the cookies at my shop.

"Mommy Aaliyah, I want a cookie" Kairi taps my arm pointing across the street at a bakery

"Me too, oatmeal raisin please" Dave and Hope said together

"No, y'all should be happy with the smoothies."

"Please" they begged

"No"

"Bad mommy" Kairi mugged me

"Really Kai? I thought you were on my side" I frown eating another grape

"Cookies" was all she said taking my phone, she talked her baby language to Dave. "Dada !"

"I'm listening babygirl"

I got up to get out drinks then put our fruit salads into my backpack. Getting a hold of Kairi's hand I went across the street into the bakery.

It smelled musty.

Why the hell does a bakery smell musty?

"Kai, we'll get cookies from my shop" I said turning around.

"What's wrong?" Dave asked

"I don't like the smell in there"

Cars passed by as we waited for the light to change. Dave gave the phone to Hope since Kairi kept asking for her.
