(Draven/Bridget)
Draven gave Khadashee a gentle kiss, "thank you. I will return shortly." and headed out the door to find Bridget. It didn't take long as he knew her hiding places. She was quietly crying, "hello, pumkin." Draven said when he found her. She glanced at him and tried to smile, but found it hard to do. Draven scooped her up into his arms and sat on the tree stump that she had been hiding behind.

"What do you think is going to happen when the new baby comes?"
Bridget sniffled, whipped her nose with her sleeve, "you won't love me anymore."
"Oh, now, you know that isn't true. Your momma still loves you just as much as your little brother. Why do you think I will be any different?"
"Because, you really love Dashee"
"Yes, but I love you more. You are my first true love. You know I miss you so much when I am gone, and yes, I will love the new baby too, but you will always be my first true love."
Bridget looked up into her Pappa's eyes and finally smiled. "Okay, I will like him too, then. I am sorry for stomping my foot, Pappa. I hope Dashee was not sad."
"She is a strong lady, she will be okay. Especially if you go and give her a hug as well."

Together, walking hand in hand, Bridget and Draven made their way back to the furniture store to find Khadashee.
(Khadashee)
Khadashee felt terrible about making Bridget cry. She didn¡¯t mean to do that. She should have let Draven tell her about the baby. She nibbled on her lips as she left the store to wait outside for the pair. Should she go home? And let the two of them just have this time.
As she began to pace in thought she looked up to see Draven¡¯s brother. She smiled but the pulled hands back before she waved remembering how Draven felt about his brother. ¡°Hello Damien,¡± she said as he approached.
