"You’re so irreverent, Kylie I love that about you," Chessy said with a grin

What would make you the happiest in the world? Don’t think about it Go with your gut Give me your answer in three seconds or less"

"I want my husband back," Chessy blurted "I want my child raised by both its mother and father I want Tate to share in every aspect of o," Joss said, satisfaction lining her face
