Sweet Mischief’s Rollercoaster Romance

After a long day, little Henry crashed into the welcoming, cushy embrace of a pile of pillows. Mia, on the other hand, was off to the side, venting to her brother about someone who had the nerve to call her nephew chubby. Dinner at the Irvin household was delightful, but with school looming for Mia, their visit was short-lived. Andre, with a sleepy mother-son duo in tow, headed home.

Mia, running on fumes, barely managed to secure Henry in his car seat before succumbing to sleep herself. As for Henry, his wide eyes took in the neon-lit cityscape, a kaleidoscope of colors, and the bustling crowd-all a stark contrast to his usual surroundings. At a red light, Andre glanced at his sleeping family through the rearview mirror. Catching sight of his son, he softly called out, "Henry?" No response came, just a faint baby murmur. With a smile, Andre reached out and gently held his son's warm little hand, a simple moment of joy frozen in time.

"Bro, why don't you catch some sleep? I'll go game and won't bother you," she offered Chad, always thinking of her brother.

"That's hardly enough."

"If you're good, it's more than enough," Chad retorted.

With that, Molly donned her headset and dialed up their gaming buddy from the Cedillo clan, "Dad, log in. Your girl's gonna carry you to victory."
