Prince sat at the table in the kitchen with his massive plate of pancakes and bowl of fruit but the sadness in his eyes was being reflected back at him through his lemon tea. Suddenly the reflection of himself slowly began to turn into a face that wasn't his own. He was wanting to look away but the curious mind of the artist only made him look closer at the face that was now looking back at him. Prince's eyes shot open wide with shock as he finally recognized the same small hazel eyes and smaller features that were similar to his.

"Ahmir?" He whispered to himself so that no one around him can hear.

At one point he was thinking that he was going insane. Prince rubbed at his eyes with his right hand and looked back into the cup. His eyes weren't at all deceiving him. It was in fact Ahmir.

"What are you doing daddy?" The boy asked him as he scrunched his little nose at his father.

Prince was to wonderstruck to even answer Ahmir's question even though he wanted to. As staffed and security walked in and out of the kitchen he only gave a shrug of his shoulders to his little boy.

"Daddy you know that you want to know. It's ok to be afraid daddy but at least the nice lady with the curly hair will still like you. Go and see what that mean old lady said. She scares me and she's not ever going to be nice. She's just being nice on the outside."

The more Prince thought about it the more it tore him up inside. As he looked harder into his tea Ahmir began to fade away.

"Bye daddy! I love you!"

Those last three words made Prince tear up and his heart felt like it was shattering within him. In that moment where he was on the brink of bawling his eyes out Carlyn and Erinalia strolled in with huge bags of baby clothes and toys.

"Hey daddy! Wanna see what me and Erin picked for the baby?" Carlyn said excited.

Prince tried his best to mask his emotions but Erinalia could tell that something was on the mans already troubled mind.

"What's going on P?" She asked him setting her bags on the floor and going up to Prince.

"Nothing my dear. I just have a lot on my mind that's all. It's nothing too serious."

"Lie." Carlyn said quickly at her father without looking up from her bags.

Prince darted his eyes at her in confusion and Carlyn glanced up with a smile.

"Daddy you know you read like a book. Something's wrong with you." She said clarifying her first statement.

"And how do you know me so well little girl?" Prince said with a deep chuckle from his chest.

Carlyn raised her head and with a big smile she pointed at his plate of untouched food.

"Dad? I've seen you do damage at IHOP. If Regan took the time to make you pancakes after y'all argued and you still won't eat something's definitely wrong."

Prince looked at the plate in front of him and let out a sigh.

"Nothing gets passed you does it kid?" Prince giggled.

"Sure doesn't! Hey P! You gonna eat that honeydew?" Erinalia said as she reached for his fruit bowl and digging in before he gave a response.

"Seriously Erin?" Carlyn shouted with a laugh.

"What? I'm hungry! You practically at both mine and your breakfast this morning." Erin shot back.

"Hey! I'm eating for two!" Carlyn replied hugging her stomach.

"Ya sure it ain't for three?" Erin joked.

Prince finally showed a change in emotion as smile grew across his caramel face.

"And he's back!" Erin giggled as he smiled and put his arms out to Carlyn.

"Bring me that baby mama." She said softly with a smile.

Carlyn walked over to her father and he ran his hands over her growing tummy.

"How soon will you and Tremaine know?" He asked.

"Well our flight for our honeymoon leaves in a few hours and I'm going for a check up before we leave so hopefully today. It still may be to early to tell but I'm keeping my fingers crossed for a girl."

"Please take care of yourself and make sure Tremaine is taking care of you."

"Daddy don't worry! Everything will be fine. Tre won't let anything happen to me or this baby."

"You mean babies." Erin joked as she shoved another piece of fruit in her mouth.

Carlyn squinted her eyes at her and shook her head.

"Remind me why I'm friends with you?" Carlyn hissed.

"I fed you remember? Be grateful." Erin said with a wink.

"I love you too! Meanie!" Carlyn giggled.

"Alright Mr. Nelson leggo my prego. We have to get this stuff upstairs and finish packing." Erin joked.

Prince and Carlyn hugged each other then she grabbed her bags and left the kitchen. Prince was happy to see his daughter so happy and glowing. His only concern was how would her body take to flying. Just as he stood from the table Tori walked in and smiled at her husband to be.

"There you are! I missed you last night. Where were you I was worried." She asked him hugging him around his waist and pecking him on the cheek.

"I'm sorry love I was working all night last night. I'll make it up to you when I see Carlyn off for her flight."

"Oh! Honeymoon so soon? I thought they would have waited." Tori said with some sincerity.

"Carlyn's a big girl. She'll be alright."

"But are you alright?"

"Yeah.....just a little bothered by something but at nothing you should concern your little head with."

"You sure? You know I still owe you that special something from the other night."

"I'd like that. So then I guess tonight then? Maybe dinner and a little something extra?" Prince said with a turned on growl.

"Only if you promise not to keep me waiting my love." Tori said as she kissed his lips.

"I wouldn't dream of it." Prince replied as he kissed her back.

Tori ran her right hand down his face as she walked away until he could no longer feel he fingertips. He was grinning from ear to ear and was a bright red in the cheeks. Prince happily grabbed an apple from the fruit basket on the table and made his way to the studio. Once he got inside the massive room and closed the door. His creative juices were flowing through him. Sitting behind his soundboard he played a few tracks and thumbed through some of the unfinished songs on his laptop when he had come across what he had feared the most. That elephant in the room that was weighing him down. The night that Tori showed her true colors accidentally on the phone. Prince's heart was beginning to shatter while the music on his soundboard still played in what seemed to be the distance. Everything he thought he knew was crashing down around him.
