The past eight months was hell, and it's something that Abel nor Andi want to revisit. Everything seems to be going well just two weeks after their daughter, Kehlani, was born. But after the attempted murder of their best friend all the happiness se...

"Aw, my old room," I say lowly when I turn my light on and close the door behind Abel. I flop on the bed and rest my head on my folded arms, kicking my shoes off at the edge of the bed. "Sometimes I just wanna lock myself in here for a couple of days."
"You gone be hungover." Abel says as he unties his shoes and smiles at me.
"You seem to have forgotten how much liquor I can hold then." I smiles back at him and effortlessly throw my hair in a bun, Abel tells me he's going to check on the kids before quietly shutting the door behind him. I get up to go to laundry knowing I can slip into one of my dad's old t-shirts, I slip into his old Dallas Cowboy shirt that's so old some of blue lettering is starting to peel, I straighten the shirt to my liking before making my way to my room.
I crawl under the covers feeling the coolness of the sheets instantly relaxing me. Shortly after, I feel Abel climb in after me and immediately pull me towards him, I turn on my side and lay my head on his chest.
"What, you're actually allowing me to lay with you like this?" Abel questions in a joking manner.
I roll my eyes and smile. "Just enjoy the moment." I say as he lands kisses in my hair and wraps his arms around me, almost like he's securing me, but making me feel good.
A few minutes pass by of silence before Abel talks again. "Why you won't give me another chance?"
"I can't afford it mentally," I answer honestly with my eyes still closed but I can feel Abel staring down at me. "If I could I would, I just don't think we're right for each other to try again right now. We're opposite, but too opposite."
"Mhm," Is all I hear before we both fall asleep in each other's arms.
When I wake up, I wake to the smell of sweet pancakes. Abel isn't in the bed with me so I assume he already made his presence known. When I finally get up out of bed, I wash my face and brush my teeth. I make it downstairs to the kitchen where I see Abel feeding Ditri while holding Kehlani at the same time.
"Oh, good you're up." Abel says once he notices me. "My flight time changed, so I have to leave tonight at six. And Lani is hungry by the way and she won't take the bottle." I walk over to take Kehlani in my arms and sit in the chair next to Ditri and start to breastfeed Kehlani.
"So then when are you coming back?" I ask, rubbing Kehlani's back.
"I should be back by Monday, but I'll be back before the tour so I can say good bye to you and the kids. Is there anything you need me to do while I'm gone?"
I shake my head no in response as my Dad comes down the stairs with my mom behind him.
"Morning Mom," I smile when she bends down to hug me and then my dad follows after her giving me a kiss on the cheek. Mom give Abel a hug too but my dad just pats him on the shoulder, which is a huge progression forward in this house. "Is Dante still opening for you as you told me before?" I ask, scratching my nose.
