drew had been gone filming for about a month now.
for you, it was easy not to get so hung up over the fact he was gone for such a long time.
when you first started dating, it was definitely a tragedy. and it pained you everytime that you couldn’t just go with him.
and even now, of course you missed him like crazy. but after all these years of being together, you’ve learned how to deal with it and it got easier.
but for his baby aaliyah who’s never been separated from her daddy? oh this was hell.
she couldn’t even stand the sight of him walking out the door for 10 minutes, so now that he’s walked out the door, and hasn’t come back for weeks?
she definitely was not having it.
you knew how she was going to react as well, so for weeks you prepared yourself for the endless tears and tantrums.
“you know she’s going to be a pain when i’m gone, right?” drew reminds you while you guys get ready for bed.
“trust me, i know. im getting myself ready for it as we speak.” you reply as you start to wrap your hair up for bed.
he chuckles. “you guys can always come with, though. that’d be a good idea especially for her.”
“maybe like a visit for a few days, but i don’t think her being out of the country for that long is a good idea.” you said as you laid down in the bed. drew agreed with that statement and you both moved on to the next topic.
that was weeks ago. but now? you were starting to consider whether or not you should’ve just taken drew’s idea.
you tried so many resolutions with liyah, and nothing seemed to work.
the girl never seemed to tire herself out either. she just recently turned one, yet you were already seeing the tunnel to the terrible 2’s somehow.
to be fair, she was an angel. but once she got started, you didn’t know if and when she was going to stop.
currently you were trying to feed her. you had ms rachel on your phone in front of her because that seemed to calm her down in the tiniest bit when she would get upset.
it was going good, until drew had started to call you.
and as soon as she saw the picture of you and him pop on the screen, waterworks flooded all over again.
“i just calmed this baby down and now he wanna call me.” you mutter to yourself, partially annoyed even though he couldn’t control it.
facetimes never seemed to make her feel better and it actually quite made her even more upset, but maybe hearing his voice at the very beginning of a breakdown could ease her, so you went ahead and picked up.
“hello?” you propped the phone up on the table then picked her up and tried shushing her.
he didn’t even need to ask ‘how are my girls?’ because he could clearly tell.
“awe, i miss my baby too.” he pouts.
you picked up the phone and put it in her face so she could see him. “talk to her, your voice might help.”
“hi my love. shh, it’s okay daddy’s right here.” he says through the phone.
she stops wailing, but she’s still making whining and crying noises.
“she’s taking this even worse than i thought,” you say. “i knew it was going to be bad, but not this terrible.”
“she’s just a true daddy’s girl. what can i say?” drew smirks through the phone.
“you might find this funny but i have real life headaches from her, joseph.” he laughs at the use of his real name.
“i bet you do, im sorry baby.” he says, “why don’t you guys come and visit for a little bit?”
this time, you were quick to actually be on board.
“i think that’s a good idea too.” you started bouncing aaliyah up and down and gave her kisses. she wasn’t as loud with her whining, but she was still continuing. “i think it’s time we go see daddy.”
drew smiles, “i can’t wait. i’m gonna take some time off and buy your tickets. when do you wanna come out?”
“shit, tomorrow.” you sigh.
he laughs again at your comments but knows you’re being completely serious at the same time. “get to packing then baby.”
that’s all he had to say for you to pick the phone up and make your way upstairs with liyah.
first you started in liyah’s room. drew was still on the phone with you, talking way more than you were because she seemed to be getting quieter and quieter. it bothered her that she couldn’t feel him, but right now she’s was taking whatever she could take.
you showed him outfits, he decided whatever or not he liked him. you made sure to pack a whole separate bag for all of her baby necessities as well.
because you were connecting with drew in some way, it felt like an easy task you were able to accomplish. you knew for a fact if he wasn’t on the phone it would’ve taken you the rest of the day with her wailing and screaming.
when you were done packing her bag, you tried putting her to sleep. of course it took about an hour, but eventually she was soundly asleep. all you could do was thank heavens.
placing her in her crib, you had to really tiptoe out the door. if she woke up while you were in the middle of trying to walk out and leave, that would be another meltdown waiting to happen.
you and drew stayed on the phone even after she was liyah was put to sleep, but you made sure to keep the volume of the phone down so that his voice didn’t travel to her. now it was time to pack your clothes. he helped you pick out your outfits, and you did a mini fashion show for him with your outfits.
he loved them all, and occasionally gave a ‘do a little spin for me.’
every moment with him, or even just talking to him was great. no matter if you were actually next to him, or through the phone.
but unfortunately, you guys couldn’t stay on the phone forever. it was soon time for him to start filming again.
“i gotta go baby, but i love you so much, and i’ll see you two soon.” he said while walking back to his set. “kiss my baby for me.”
“i will. i love you too.” you smile then hang up the phone. you sighed and rubbed your face, thinking about how quick this was happening, but how ready you were at the same time. if it was going to get her to stop crying so much and was also going to get you to see your man again, a win is a win!
after everything, it was about 5 pm. this was a late nap for liyah and she would be up end up being bouncing up off the walls, but maybe that was good cus then she would sleep on the plane ride tomorrow.
heading back downstairs, you made dinner for yourself & made sure to leave a little for liyah cus she’ll get hungry out of nowhere.
you also made it a chore to clean the entire downstairs of your house, because coming back to a clean house after a few days on vacay is always a nice thing.
surprisingly, liyah didn’t wake up once. you weren’t too loud, but loud enough for her to start yelling, waiting for mommy or daddy to pick her up.
you love that girl to death, but her tantrums are for the birds.
after you were done, you went to check on her. she was still soundly asleep, most likely for once tired herself out with all the noises. soon, you were going to have to wake her up so she could take a bath. but you weren’t worried about that at the moment. you were finally able to pamper yourself for the evening, then deal with her later.
your phone dinged, and knowing what the message was you opened it right away.
2 attachments from drew, and they were your tickets to morocco for 10 days at 6 am.
hearting both of the attachments, you started to get excited.
one month wasn’t too much of a long period of time, but it was always enough for you and your baby to miss him more and more each day.
you could finally see him again, and you’d be reunited as a family.
—
the night went smoothly. she only woke up once, and that was to bathe and eat a bit of what you had made. she was easy to put back to sleep, and that’s what matter the most. you could’ve had more sleep for yourself, but the hours were efficient enough.
sooner than later your alarm rang for 4:30. you weren’t a morning person whatsoever, but you definitely did not have a problem waking up right now since you knew what was to come in only a matter of time.
it was going to be a real long ride of 11 hours, but the outcome would be worth it.
getting up out of bed, you brushed your teeth and washed your face with your products, then put those into your suitcase.
you let liyah sleep for a few more minutes, then woke her up knowing you were just going to put her in her mini uggs and throw a coat over her pajamas.
and as for you, you were keeping your hair the way it was and throwing on a hoodie and sweatpants.
you took this time to order the uber to the airport, and bring both of your suitcases and her baby bag downstairs.
walking back up to her room, you picked her up from the crib and started to pat her back while bouncing her. the movement would keep her asleep and peaceful instead of awake and cranky.
“we’ll see daddy sooner than you know it, mama.” you whispered to her.
not even bothering to make breakfast since it was too early for the both of you to be eating, you turned off everything in the house and waited for the car. it was now 5:15 and the car was going to pull up any minute.
liyah woke up for just two seconds, “mama?”
“yes baby?”
“where dada?”
“we’re gonna see him in a few hours, don’t worry.” you softly laid her head back down so she could close her eyes again. as she was falling asleep, the car pulled up and it was time to go.
stepping outside with a baby and one hand and dragging suitcases in the other, the driver stepped out to help you load up, and you placed aaliyah in the car seat you had requested the driver to have.
he closed the trunk and hopped right back into the car. he pulled out from your driveway and made small talk with you. you tried your best to keep up, but it was just too damn early.
after a 10 minute ride to the airport, he unloaded your things for you and helped you bring them inside while you carried liyah. you thanked him, then did all the stuff you needed to do before waiting to board the plane.
aaliyah was still asleep, clearly all the tantrums finally caught up with her.
you texted drew a few times, even though he was most likely resting.
but about 30 minutes later, it was time to board the plane. you had all your luggage ready, and you guys were finally able to start the real travel.
—
the plane ride was long, but it wasn’t bad.
you kept liyah busy with movies, coloring, and eating a few things.
she didn’t eat everything since plane food isn’t the greatest, but she ate some and so did you.
you had boarded the plane around 6 in the morning, well now it was 4:30 and you had just landed.
aaliyah had a burst of energy, and you knew she was ready to just play and be carefree again.
thankfully, the passengers were nice enough to help you walk off the plane and help with your luggage when they saw you with a baby, so the plane experience overall was definitely a 10/10.
you had called drew on the plane, and he let you know he’d been waiting with open arms. you were overjoyed, practically jumping with excitement on the inside and out.
but if you think you were over the top happy, seeing the look on aaliyah’s face while you walked to find drew waiting at the morocco airport had you all the way beat.
“DADDY!!!” she screamed in your arms once you started to make it towards him.
you giggled at her her volume, and was also just happy enough yourself to laugh at anything knowing you were finally with drew again.
he walked towards the two of you and met you halfway, “is that my baby girl?” he smiled and took her from you. their bond was something so special to you, and you were so grateful for how strong their relationship was.
he gave her many kisses and tickles, which made her laugh. this was the first time you saw her so excited in a while.
“and my other baby girl.” he turned to you, pulling you in and giving you a passionate kiss. you weren’t holding back either, you hadn’t seen your man for far too long now. because of this, you covered liyah’s eyes which made drew laugh.
finally pulling away, he kisses your forehead. “i got our whole week planned out.”
this made you smile. “and what will we be doing?”
“there’s restaurants i want you guys to try, there’s a really nice beach, and i got us a really nice hotel. i promise you these 10 days are gonna make up for the month i left you with this little drama queen,” he started liyah a bit at the last part which made her laugh again. her laughs were always so contagious and it made the two of you laugh as well.
“i know they will, you never disappoint.” you kissed his cheek.
he gets close to your ear and whispers so liyah doesn’t hear, “and i promise once we wrap filming, i’ll make you finish everynight, baby.”
this gets your cheeks hot. you can’t lie at all, you really did miss being tossed and turned by him once she was asleep at night.
“be careful with what you say,” you point a finger at him, “i’ll make you a daddy for the second time.”
he laughs, “please do.”
you roll your eyes at him, then start walking out to where his car is.
drew spent the wholeeee time talking to liyah, even though she mostly still speaks in her baby language.
he was having so much fun too, constantly giving an occasional ‘oh really’ and ‘what happened after that?’
it kept him entertained and so did you. you stayed recording the entire thing and could barely hold in your laughter.
you made finally made it to the hotel (not before stopping for some real food though of course.) and he was definitely not lying when he said it was really nice.
nice wasn’t even a good word, it was gorgeous.
“wow,” the three of you walked in. your hands dealing with the cart of luggage while his carried aaliyah. “this really is beautiful.”
“i know,” he looks like he’s in awe himself while he takes in the hotel. “only the best for my girls.”
you smile at him and he wraps an arm around you, the three of you making your way to the hotel room.
you were very happy you took this vacation.
