Carlito sucked his teeth again before he could stop himself: I just didnt know why you keep saying that and ion like it. She been happy cause she pretty much had me to herself aside from when I was on the game. Whats up, bubbles?

Around 2 Roman was sitting at Yard house waiting on Haleigh and was nervous. @thatssonanii

Roman stood up to hug her: Hey princess. How much I owe the lil shit... Ardian for gas?

Haleigh hugged him back and laughed a little: Hey, Daddy. You don't owe him. Nicey brought me and you dont owe her anything.

Roman smiled kissing her head: How are you? How was the meeting with your mom?

Haleigh let him help her in her seat: I'm pretty good. It was nice. We got to talk without interruption. How are you?

Roman: Good. I'm happy to hear that. I'm good. Was kind of nervous you was going to change your mind

Haleigh: Yeah? I wasn't, didn't cross my mind. I wouldn't have agreed if I had any doubts

Roman smiled: its been a while much to my doing. Order whatever you want

Haleigh looked at the menu : Wanna do chicken nachos and queso dip for appetizers?

Roman nodded: Sounds good princess. You still drink pink lemonade?

Haleigh grinned: Of course I do. The only time I didn't was when I was pregnant with Sassy

Roman smiled: why do you call her sassy?

Haleigh laughed: Cause she is sassy. Ever since she turned six and went to Paris. Auntie Apryl said I used to be like that too when I was her age.

Roman laughed: You was sassy at six. Especially when it came to sharing me with your mother

Haleigh laughed: was I?

Roman nodded: Yes. Your mother used to say I was gonna have you spoiled rotten because I couldn't tell you no

Haleigh: That sounds like Sassy. Guess she did get it from me

Roman smiled a little: i... I'm sorry princess for everything.

Haleigh nodded: Go on. I'm listening

Roman: I was hurt you didn't listen to me. Felt embarrassed.

Haleigh told him to go on

Roman: I was hurt. I wanted you to hurt as bad as you made me hurt. My princess didn't listen to me and I didn't act properly. Especially the last day in the house. I was an asshole

Haleigh: I meant to tell Mama but I'm sorry for not listening to you guys. I was just young and thought I was in love. You definitely were a butthole though. It bothered me real bad for a long time honestly still does that you wouldnt at least hug me.

Roman: I regret that princess. I regret not giving you a hug. I regret everything. Why did you think you was in love with him? Of all boys

Haleigh shrugged: I was 14 and he was older than me, he darks all the right things to make me think he loved me. To me he was everything, Daddy even though yall knew better. Ms. Heather even told me to leave him alone back them when I met her

Roman rubbed his nose

Haleigh: Don't cry, Daddy

Roman wiped his eyes: I have to princess. I fucked up. I fucked up.

Haleigh got up and went to the other side to hug him: You're fixing it now and that's what matters.

Roman hugged her back and kissed her head sniffling: I failed princess

Haleigh: You didn't fail. You just made a mistake, same way I did.

Roman nodded: Feels like I did. But thank you princess.

Haleigh smiled: I graduated high school and college, I still have custody of my baby. I'm still alive. You didnt fail

Roman: You did well princess. So well princess

Haleigh smiled: Thank you, Daddy.

Roman: You're welcome. What's next for you princess?

Haleigh sat back down as their appetizers came: Well, I'm gonna be a stay at home mom and wife for a little bit before I start working. Ardi wants me to take a break

Roman frowned playfully: the little shit proposed?

Haleigh laughed: No, not yet. He just calls me his wife. He prefers that

Roman smiled: The lil shit loves you and he's good for you. But I'm glad you're going to be taking a break. How long you going to be on break for?

Haleigh smiled: Yes he does and yes he is. Thank you. Ummm maybe a year

Roman nodded: then where are you gonna work after the year?

Haleigh: Try to find a spot as a high school counselor then eventually go back and get my masters so that I can be a therapist for teenage that were like me or having other problems. Maybe a doctorate too but I dunno.

Roman: I can help you with that princess. If you want

Haleigh: Help with what part?

Roman: Helping you pay for your masters and doctorate.

Haleigh thought for a second: My first thought is to say no but we're turning a new leaf. Yes, I'll let you okay for my masters, let's start there

Roman smiled: Thank you.

Haleigh tilted her head: Why are you thanking me?

Roman: for still having your big heart.

Haleigh smiled: Oh that wasn't gonna change but you're welcome. I could have been mean and nasty after everything but that wouldn't do me any good, Daddy. It would have made me feel worse, I probably would've never graduated and Sadsy wouldn't be the sweetheart she is.

Roman smiled: You're right princess.

Haleigh: Thank you. If you and Mommy want to take Sassy on a trip or keep her, I'll carve out a week for y'all.

Roman: We can? Really?

Haleigh nodded: Yeah. I'm sure she'd like that

Roman: Think one day you like to do a trip with me and your mom along with Rai?

Haleigh: Can Ardian come?

Roman frowned playfully: Does he have to princess?

Haleigh laughed: Yes, Daddy. He is apart of the family plus I'm not gonna tell Rai that he daddy can't come, you are.

Roman laughed: Nope she will not pout at me. You and her have the same pout

Haleigh laughed: Exactly. Ardi said the same thing

Roman: So tell me what I've missed when you rightfully wasn't talking to us. I wanna hear everything

Haleigh: Ummm nothing really besides me and Ardi being together, me graduating and Sassy too. Oh you don't know why me and Messiah broke up, do you?

Roman frowned shaking his head: No i don't. What happen?

Haleigh: He kept cheating and I didn't want Sassy to think it was okay to accept it. She was getting older and realized he was making me cry.

Roman twitched: Even more reason to beat his ass

Haleigh: I appreciate that, Daddy. He probably needs it

Ardian, Luke, and Elijah met up to go deal with Quan. Ardian clicked his tongue: Nicey and Morgan good?

Ardian laughed: That's why Morgan, Mama bear. Good for they asses. I'm sorry bout this Luke and E. Our families is off limits but they think they doing something

Ardian clicked his tongue: It gets there yall know where I keep bread stashed. Behind mine and yall I'll go to jail

Ardian: Preciate yall. I know I cuss yall out but yall my brothers.

Carlito blew a raspberry on her cheek: I love her too. Yeah I love my Cali girl. I ... you think i did something wrong?

Carlito laughed dodged her: Can't get me, Bubbles. Yeah I guess, Dad. Ima apologize to my cousins for not telling them bye. I had zoned out

Carlito kissed her face again then sucked his teeth and stared: Why you keep saying something about me lying, Dad? You act like I be lying to you all the time or something. We're good. She been happy since the party.

Carlito sucked his teeth again before he could stop himself: I just didnt know why you keep saying that and ion like it. She been happy cause she pretty much had me to herself aside from when I was on the game. Whats up, bubbles?

Carisi heard footsteps and went to go help his wife: thank you sunshine for getting mommy and your baby brother. You have been a great helper. @thatssonanii

Carisi laughed helping Peach sit down: Yes mommy did walk really slow

Carisi laughed helping sunshine: that baby?

Carisi smiled: I see sunshine but your baby brother says thank you. What you gonna say to him?

Carisi laughed softly kissing her head: Daddy gon go and fix our plates.

The next day, McCoy knocked them slipped into Carisi's office. He waited in the chair in front of his desk for Carisi to get off the phone. Sunshine was talking loudly about a lizard she found.

Carisi rubbed his temple: You found a lizard? What did mommy say?

Carisi smiled: Did you let the lizard stay with his mommy?

Sunshine: Yeah, Daddy!

Carisi: Well good daddy is proud. Daddy bring you in a gift. Daddy has to get back to work. I love you sunshine

McCoy waited for him to hang up: Came to check on you but I see you're good and stressed with your little zoo keeper.

Carisi laughed: Yes every animal she sees and between calling her baby brother that baby. How are you? Is everything okay?

McCoy laughed: That baby? So still not fond of him. I'm alright, everything is okay. Wanted to ask you a question and feel free to say no

Carisi: I'm listening

McCoy scratched his face: There's a capital case coming up. The Riverside Rapist, finally starting that trial. And I handle all of the capital cases but I want you to sit second chair. I know Bianca is due and day now but it won't start until about a month after the baby comes. It'll be long hours and probably stressful but I know you can handle it

Carisi: You want me to be second chair? Really?

McCoy: Absolutely. You're the best attorney I have here. Plus I won't be here for long and you have to learn if you're gonna take my spot. Unless you don't want it.

Carisi: No of course I do. I'm honored.

Mccoy smiled: Good. I'm glad I have someone like you going into this case with me. Our old friend Buchanan is on the defense, I hear the defendant is also trying to get Rita Calhoun. Barba if they can but I doubt he'll touch this. You can handle that?

Carisi thought and nodded: I can handle it. I can. I'm discuss it with bibi of course

McCoy laughed a little: Good. Always discuss things with your wife. I don't want to be in trouble with her. When the case starts it will be the only one on your plate, I need your complete focus

Carisi smiled: I have your back. Thank you for considering me and trusting me

McCoy: I appreciate that. No need to thank me. You did the hardworking and I just noticed. And don't worry, i know second chair to most usually means you do all the work and I do the court work but that's not what it means to me. We work together in and out of work. Be ready to strut your stuff

Carisi: Thank you. I can't wait to work with you

McCoy laughed a little: No need to foster me, you've already got the spot. How's Bianca and baby boy? Well he be a namesake?

Carisi smiled: they're good. She misses working but I'm glad she listened. Yes he will be but if bibi changes her mind I'm fine with it. Long as sunshine stops calling him that baby

Mccoy laughed: That baby? Is she even a little excited? I don't think she'll change her mind. Before you leave I have some gifts for little Sunshine and that baby.

Carisi laughed: sometimes she's nice and sometimes she's mean. You did? Thank you

McCoy nodded still laighimg: That sounds about right. Yeah, dont have any other children to spoil and I'm quite fond of Sunshine. She's funny.

Carisi laughed: Yes she's a character like her mother. She loves you

McCoy smiled: I love her right back. How are things with Bianca at work? I know shes put now but any other issues with Amanda?

Carisi: things is going good. No. Amanda actually got her some clothes for the baby

McCoy: That was very nice of her. Hmm guess shes coming around

Carisi nodded: She also got Bibi a soup one time

McCoy: Bianca trusted it enough to eat it?

Carisi chuckled: She had me taste it first

McCoy laughed: Smart I would've done the same thing.

Carisi: you're supposed to be on my side

McCoy laughed: I never said that. Not when it comes to Bianca or Sunshine

When Carisi got home he had food and gifts: Bibi. Sunshine.

Carisi put the bags down grabbing Sunshine going to the room quickly: What happen?

Peach shook her head and took a few breaths: I'm okay I'm okay.

Carisi put Sunshine down and took his jacket off: I got you bibi. Is it babyboy? Braxton hicks?

Carisi helped his wife: Your baby brother didn't mean to sunshine. Can mommy and your baby brother have a kiss?

Carisi kissed both their cheeks: Thank you sunshine. You sure?

Carisi nodded: Yes baby can get a prize. My girls are hungry?

Carisi chuckled taking them downstairs and helping Peach sit down: I got soup for you Bibi and I got a happy meal for sunshine

Carisi smiled: my babies are welcome. I got me a little chicken sandwich and salad

Peach watched him at Sunshine up with her food: Proud of you. How was work?

Carisi: my bibi is proud of me. It was good. McCoy came to talk to me today

Peach eyed her husband: Did you get too aggressive with a defendant again?

Carisi laughed: No not this time. He has a capital case coming up and he wants me to be second chair

Peach swallowed her soup then cheered: That's great, babe. Congratulations

Carisi smiled: Thank you. I wanted to talk it over with you first

Peach nodded: Okay, I'm listening. There must be something you think i won't like

Carisi: It's the riverside rapist case and he said it's going to be long hours and very stressful. Babyboy be here as well

Peach thought for a second then nodded: Don't let baby boy's arrival, me or Sunny keep you from what you want to do. Your mom and Nick's mom are only a call away. My mom will be in town and so will Monica. We'll be okay

Carisi: Are you sure? I want you by my side

Peach smiled: Of course I am. I'll be by your side as always. I'll make it to court whenever I can.

Carisi smiled back kissing her head: Thank you. I always do better with you in court

Peach: Yes you do. With your mama bear too. You know your mother in law is gonna wanna come see you too.

Carisi: This is big for us Bibi. Big. I have to make yall proud

Peach smiled: It is and you always make us proud. Win or lose, doesn't matter as long as you do your best, okay?

Carisi nodded: I believe you. Thank you.

Peach: kiss?

Carisi pecked her lips a few times then kissed her softly

Peach: You're gonna be amazing, Dominic Carisi Jr.

Carisi: I love when you tell me that. Makes me feel like superman

Peach smiled: Because you are. Youre our superman and we love it here. Me and both of your namesakes

Carisi grinned rubbing her belly: I love it and I love all three of my babies

Carisi jumped up rubbing his eyes: Shit. Carisi jumped out the bed going to help his wife out of the wet spot: I got you

Peach: Not so fast, baby ... help me change first.

Carisi helped Peach change and got her comfortable slippers: I'll text my mama in law and father in law

Carisi: Hey mama. We wait. We don't need Sunshine fussing at that baby before he gets here. Thank you

Carisi helped Peach downstairs hissing everytime she squeezed his hand: I got you Bibi

Carisi grabbed what he needed and drove to the birthing center quickly: I got you bibi. We here

Peach waited for them to get out: Your son would try to come at night

Carisi laughed: Why he has to be my son only?

Peach laughed breathlessly: Cause you come in late and wake me too and won't let me go back to sleep.

Carisi smiled: but it be fun when I get to wake you up late

Peach pushed him playfully: You waking me up is how we got here.

Carisi laughed grabbing her hand: you never complained

Peach laughed then hissed: It's cause you tricked me. I furor how much this hurts.

Carisi: I don't like when you're hurting bibi

Carisi kissed her:I am. Excited. Here comes Quincy.

Carisi counted to 10 in Italian while Peach squeezed his hand in the suite: shit.

45 minutes later Carisi and Peach was able to get in the water: Babyboy might be stubborn like you Bibi

Carlito blew a raspberry on her cheek: I love her too. Yeah I love my Cali girl. I ... you think i did something wrong?

Carlito laughed dodged her: Can't get me, Bubbles. Yeah I guess, Dad. Ima apologize to my cousins for not telling them bye. I had zoned out

Carlito kissed her face again then sucked his teeth and stared: Why you keep saying something about me lying, Dad? You act like I be lying to you all the time or something. We're good. She been happy since the party.

Carlito blew a raspberry on her cheek: I love her too. Yeah I love my Cali girl. I ... you think i did something wrong?
