Once Lilia is asleep that night, Casey and Malaya have some time to themselves. Malaya eats a snack while Casey chats with Malaya's mom. "Mrs. S..." She begins. "Call me Maddy, sweetpea," Madeleine says, and Casey smiles "Maddy, I want to get your permission to propose to Malaya. Not soon, maybe in a few years, if Mal is okay with it too." Casey adds quickly as Madeline's eyes widen. "Sure, Chesa and I both would give you our blessings." She says, smiling. "I know it's soon, we just started dating a year ago and now we have a baby, but I just feel like Malaya's my one." Casey admits shyly. "I'm glad, Case. I just want you and Mal to keep in mind that you need more than just love to have a relationship work and thrive*. Casey nods seriously. "We will, Maddy, and thank you." She says.

A half hour later, Malaya checks if Lilia is still asleep, and then pulls Casey in for a kiss. "So, Case, everyone's asleep..." Malaya says, and Casey grins. "Yup." She says, pulling Malaya closer. They head off to the empty bathroom to woohoo in the shower, check in on Lilia again, and then head back to their room to sleep for a bit before having to get up when Lilia needs to eat or have her diaper changed. "I love you." Casey murmurs as she snuggles up to Malaya. "I love you too, Case." Malaya says, smiling as Casey holds her close.

Victims of the spa shootings highlight the vulnerability of working-class Asian women as more Asian Americans get attacked “This one fact alone highlights the vulnerability, the invisibility, and the isolation of working-class Asian women in our country,” Nguyen said at a Thursday news conference. “When they go missing, or when they die, the loss of their lives will not incite the same kind of rage. And they won’t even be treated with the same humanity,” she said. “And in this case, they’ve been characterized as a problem that needed to be eliminated.” Authorities have not yet confirmed a motive for the shootings at three Atlanta-area spas, which killed eight people — including six Asian women. A suspect is in custody. Atlanta Deputy Police Chief Charles Hampton Jr. said Wednesday the suspect, Robert Aaron Long, frequented the two Atlanta spas and bought the gun used in the shooting the day of the incident. President Joe Biden ordered flags to be flown at half-staff Thursday to honor the victims. Biden also plans to visit Atlanta on Friday to meet with Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms, as well as Asian American and Pacific Islander leaders, according to Georgia State Rep. Bee Nguyen. Among the issues they will bring up is the concern that the shootings be “taken seriously” and seriously considered as a hate crime against Asians and not dismissed as the suspect having a “bad day,” Nguyen said. Shootings part of hostility toward Asian Americans Across the US, Asian Americans are riddled with fear as unprovoked attacks against them intensify. Anti-Asian hate crimes have more than doubled during the pandemic, according to the Center for the Study of Hate and Extremism at California State University, San Bernardino. The violence has surged amid racist rhetoric during the coronavirus pandemic — some popularized by ex-President Donald Trump. Many Asian Americans have been subjected to vitriol about the “China virus” or the “kung flu” — even those who have never been to Asia. Asian American communities are on edge after Tuesday’s deadly shootings. “I feel like that just took it to a whole other extreme,” said Hanna Kim, a teacher from Novi, Michigan. Nguyen said as a public official, whenever anyone disagrees with her opinion or policies, the first thing they do is criticize the country her parents came from and, second, her gender. “I have experienced a lot of targeted misogyny, targeted xenophobia, messages of going back to your own country, even though I was born here, raised here, I’ve lived in Georgia almost my entire life. It is very real,” Nguyen said. Actress Lucy Liu told CNN’s Erin Burnett on Thursday that she believes race relations will get worse before they can get better. “I think culturally, we are not a people that speak out and talk about being victims and I think that’s something that we learn” from previous generations, Liu said. Bottoms told CNN that nowadays “there seems to be permission now to be hateful.” She’s spent the past days reaching out to members of the Asian community in Atlanta “to make sure we have all of the information we need to make sure that our communities are protected,” adding the dialogue will continue. “There seems to be a permission that I’ve not seen, at least in my lifetime,” Bottoms said. “It does predate Donald Trump, but he certainly has given permission and done his part to elevate the hatred.” Kim, a 24-year-old Korean American, said she often feels like she has a target on her back. Last year, she said a parent wanted to remove one of her students from her second-grade class because Kim was Asian. “Are people going to say things to me?” Kim said she often asks herself. “Are people going to avoid me because they think that for some reason I’m going to be the one that’s spreading the virus?” Yet despite outrage over the shootings, attacks against Asian Americans continue. An Asian man and woman were assaulted Wednesday by the same suspect in separate attacks, San Francisco police said. Investigators are trying to determine whether bias was a motivating factor in the attack. “While we’re relieved the suspect was quickly apprehended, we’re certainly not at peace as this attack still points to an escalating threat many in the Asian American community feel today,” said Margaret Huang, president and CEO of Southern Poverty Law Center. What we know about the victims Delaina Ashley Yaun, 33, of Acworth; Paul Andre Michels, 54, of Atlanta; Xiaojie Tan, 49, of Kennesaw; and Daoyou Feng, 44, were all fatally shot at Youngs Asian Massage in Cherokee County. Elcias R. Hernandez-Ortiz, 30, of Acworth, was also shot at the spa but survived. Three more victims were found dead at Gold Massage Spa in Atlanta, and another victim was found dead across the street at the Aroma Therapy Spa. The names of those four victims have not yet been released by authorities. Three of the victims were 52, 75 and 64 years of age, according to birth years listed in an Atlanta police incident report. “We need to make sure we have a true verification of their identities and that we make the proper next of kin notification,” Hampton said Wednesday. What we know about the suspect Long, 21, faces eight counts of murder and one count of aggravated assault. Long was on his way to Florida, possibly to take the lives of more victims, Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms said, citing investigators. The suspect told police he believed he had a sex addiction and that he saw the spas as “a temptation … that he wanted to eliminate,” Cherokee County sheriff’s Capt. Jay Baker said. But Atlanta Police Chief Rodney Bryant said it is still too early to know a motive. It’s not clear whether any of the three businesses offered sexual services in addition to massages. But authorities have given no indication the three businesses were operating illegally. Capt. Jay Baker on Tuesday said Long “was pretty much fed up and had been kind of at the end of his rope. Yesterday was a really bad day for him, and this is what he did.” Baker is no longer the spokesperson for the Cherokee County Sheriff’s Office’s case investigating the spa shooting, the Sheriff’s Office confirmed to CNN. CNN has reached out to Baker for comment. Sheriff Frank Reynolds said in a statement Thursday he has known and worked with Baker for many years and his comments “were not intended disrespect any of the victims, the gravity of this tragedy or express empathy or sympathy for the suspect.” How the attacks unfolded Shortly before 5 p.m. Tuesday, deputies were called to Youngs Asian Massage between the Georgia cities of Woodstock and Acworth after reports of a shooting, Cherokee County sheriff’s officials said. That shooting left four people — two Asian and two White — dead and one person injured, Baker said. About an hour later and 30 miles away, Atlanta police responded to the Gold Massage Spa on Piedmont Road in Atlanta. Police said they found three people dead.

Six of the women who were killed were Asian so it’s difficult to see it as anything but that.” “Sex” is a hate crime category under Georgia’s new law. If Long was targeting women out of hatred for them or scapegoating them for his own problems, it could potentially be a hate crime. The shootings don’t have to be racially motivated to constitute a hate crime in Georgia.

How the attacks unfolded

Shortly before 5 p.m. Tuesday, deputies were called to Youngs Asian Massage between the Georgia cities of Woodstock and Acworth after reports of a shooting, Cherokee County sheriff’s officials said.

That shooting left four people — two Asian and two White — dead and one person injured, Baker said.

By 10pm, Lilia is slightly cranky from not being able to sleep properly, and Casey and Malaya start to get ready to leave after Casey pulls Malaya aside for a quick kiss and to check in on her. Lilia is happy to head home, and since she now has her bottom two teeth, she decides to bite her mama for fun. Poor Malaya but damn it's kind of funny to see that cute-evil look on Lilia's face.

Malaya tries to get Lilia to sleep in the back carrier but it doesn't work either. She decides to do sit ups with Lilia still on her back, and I know she can't actually get hurt by this, but I winced seeing it. 😬

On the good side, Lilia gets a bunch of milestones completed, takes a small nap, and learns to sit up so her mom can feed her her first baby food. "Here comes the airplane!" Casey says as she zooms the plastic spork with mushed papaya on it through the air. Lilia giggles and Casey feeds her the bite of food. Lilia ends up liking that and the avocado, but isn't sure about the plain mashed rice (or was it potatoes?). Still, the first high chair feeding went well and Casey took a billion photos to send to her dads and her other grandparents Lauren and Declan.

Switching to the Isip-Mendoza/Feng-Cooper* household, Malaya and Casey take Lilia to the Financial district in San Myshuno to visit her great-grandparents Lily and Victor Feng. Malaya shows Lilia off to her great-grandma (and namesake) Lily, and she cooes over the baby. "She's so beautiful." Lily says, chucking Lilia under the chin and making her giggle.

While Malaya takes a nap, Casey works on teaching Lilia to sit up, and then gives Lilia a nap. Unfortunately, Lilia couldn't get to sleep, so I built a mini nursery in Casey's grandpa Victor's study, giving him some space for his desk but adding a crib, couch, and some baby stuff. Casey puts her down in the crib and soothes her to sleep, which worked for 5 game minutes before she woke up and I was like well. 🥴😅

Lilia wakes up at 5am and cries for her moms, so Malaya gets up and breastfeeds her while her own mama gets up as well to keep her company. Chesa waves away Malaya’s offer for her to head to bed. "I stayed up with your mom when we had Finley and then you." Chesa adds, smiling. Malaya gives Lilia a quick nap after that while she scrolls Simstube shorts on her phone, and then wakes her up to put her back in the crib. Lilia gives her such a sassy and grumpy look at being woken up that it makes Malaya laugh at how much Lili looks like her other mom Casey when she has to get up for 9 am classes.

While Malaya goes back to sleep, Casey wakes up and checks in on Lilia, who's awake again in her crib and smiles at seeing her mom. Casey gives Lilia a bubble bath, which she enjoys a lot, and then changes her into some fresh clothes. Lilia still has some bubbles on her head after the bath, but I'm sure it's just normal baby stuff. 👀😂 Also, here's a photo of Malaya looking cute and wearing the earrings Casey made for her a while back. They're raw quality too, but are pretty cute.

Later that day, Casey and Malaya's friends Cam and Piper come over. Malaya shows Lilia to her auntie Cam. "Aw, she's so cute Mal." Cam says, and Malaya smiles. "Right? I can't believe she's almost 8 months." Malaya says, tickling her daughter's tummy and making her giggle. Lilia lets out a fart (she has the gassy trait too), making Cam and Malaya laugh. "She gets that from Casey, not me." Malaya adds jokingly, and Cam grins. "I can believe it." She says, while Casey grumbles playfully at the two of them.

After that, Casey shows Lilia to Piper, and she coos over her. "Awww. Hey nooboo, its auntie Piper." She says, making silly faces at her niece*. While Cam chats with Casey, Piper talks with Malaya. "How are you doing, Mal?" She asks gently. "Tired as hell, but I'm trying to take it one day at a time and just enjoying spending time with Lilia. Plus, my moms have been helping Case and me so much and I'm grateful as hell for that." Malaya adds, and Piper smiles. "I understand, and I'm not a parent but for what it's worth, I think you and Casey are doing a good job." She says, and Malaya smiles. "Thanks Pipes." She says, her smile tired but warm.

Cam and Piper meet up at the Larry's Lagoon commons after Cam's class, and Cam smiles softly at her girlfriend. "Pipes you look so beautiful, you're practically glowing." She says, and Piper blushes. "Thanks Kang. I'm trying a soft and more dewy makeup look so that's probably why." Piper says. "Still, you always look beautiful." Cam says, and Piper nudges Cam. "Cammy." She says, but smiles too. "Also, I was very inspired by this cute outfit Donna wears in Mamma Mia 2, so I used this t-shirt and skirt from my closet to recreate it." Piper says, and Cam nods.

After running into Cam’s friend Casey, and Piper’s ex girlfriend Malaya, who's currently dating Casey, the four of them head inside. Piper and Cam both get blackened bass and sit down at a table to eat and talk about their days.

Also, I included the music video "the name of the game" that features one of Donna's many cute outfits I got inspired to give Piper.

I just had Casey and Malaya make a pair of earrings and gemstone respectively, and soon as Malaya sat down next to Casey to knit something she went into labor. I was like oh shit, but had Casey go with her to the hospital.

Malaya and Casey reach Oasis Springs medical in 20 minutes, and Malaya does her breathing exercise. Malaya checks in with the front desk as Casey stands behind her*, and as they wait, Casey comforts and reassures her. "You've got this Mal, just think of the tips our birthing coach gave us." She says, and Malaya nods and winces through another contraction. "Yeah." She huffs, and Casey puts a hand on her shoulder.

Malaya had made a doctor’s appointment for that coming Saturday to determine if she was pregnant. In the meantime, she tries not to dwell on it, and spends time with her girlfriend Casey, both of them having completed their finals and turned in the last papers and projects. They hang out by the family’s pool, and goof around in the water before Malaya paints for fun and Casey chats with her. “You look beautiful, Mal.” Casey says softly, and Malaya blushes. “Thanks Case, you too.” She says. "I just want you to know I respect whichever choice you make, but if you do keep the baby I want to raise them with you and maybe not now but eventually move into our own place and go from there." Casey says, and Malaya smiles, blinking back tears again. "I'd like that, Case. And yeah, I'm so unsure right now, but I'm so glad I have my moms, and Fin, and you." She says, and Casey smiles.

Malaya actually met Casey a few months ago during a group hangout and Malaya hadn’t been sure if Casey was the one for her at first. Sure, she thought Casey was gorgeous and liked talking with her, and they’d even gone to Newcrest Children’s Dance Academy as kids around the same time, with Malaya doing ballet and Casey having done ballroom dancing, but they were different. Malaya was so focused on becoming a principal dancer at her favorite ballet school, and working on her skills and improving her dancing. Casey was more chill and laid back and go with the flow, even by choosing a random major for college and taking classes to learn and have fun, which Malaya couldn’t figure out at first. But now, Malaya likes their relationship, and she feels like they balance each other out well. They're even attending Foxbury together from home, with Casey taking two courses online and one in person and Malaya commuting by bus to the campus three days and having two days free. Since Casey's in-person class is on Fridays, she usually comes to Malaya's house and stays Thursday afternoon to Sunday morning and heads back home to her dads apartment in San Myshuno for the other part of the week. It works well so they see each other a lot but also have some space.

Back in Oasis Springs, Malaya finally tells her moms that she's possibly pregnant. Her mom Madeleine freaks out a bit but calms down after taking a few deep breaths. "Okay, if you are we can do this, nooboo. Your mama and I will support you and Casey." She says. Malaya's mama, Chesa, takes it a bit better. "Okay nooboo, let's see what the doctor says and go from there. Mom and I will support whatever you choose to do." She says, and Malaya tears up. "Nooboo, don't cry." Chesa says, and she pulls her daughter close. "We're here for you, okay?" Malaya sniffles and nods. "I've just been so stressed out over this, and now if I have this baby I'll miss out on going to SMSB after college but I don't know if I want the alternative option either cause I do want kids eventually just not now." She admits. "That's okay, you don't have to figure it out right now." Chesa says soothingly.

Malaya feels better after talking with her moms, and she, Casey, her mom, and her older sister Finley hang out in her moms' room and chat and Casey feels her belly. "The baby won't kick yet for weeks." Malaya adds, grinning as Casey smiles up at her. "I know, I just wanted to check if it's a human baby or a food baby." Casey jokes, and Malaya smacks her arm playfully. "Shut up Case." She says, but laughs as Casey pulls her in for a kiss. Finley grumbles about this and tells them to get a room, but smiles too. "Although, that's what got you two in this situation." She says, and Madeleine raises her brow. "Finley Sophia Sasaki, don't be rude to your sister." She warns, and Finley grins. "What? It's true." She says, and Malaya makes a face at Finley, who grins and makes one back. "Finny, if I wasn't so tired I'd kick your butt." Malaya jokes, and Finley laughs. "Sure, Yaya*." Finley jokes back, and they both laugh as their mom shakes her head but smiles and Casey grins.

Meanwhile in Oasis Springs:

Malaya excuses herself from talking with her girlfriend Casey and heads to the bathroom. Her heart races as she takes the pregnancy test she'd bought out of her pajama pocket and sits down at the toilet. "Okay." She says under her breath as she puts the stick to the side and waits. She picks it back up and lets out a sharp exhale, trying to hold back her tears as she reads the 8 letter word she dreaded. "Oh my gods." Malaya tries not to panic as she washes her hands and throws away the test on autopilot. It's not that she doesn't want kids, she expected to have them in her mid 30s, once she at least got to become a principal dancer for SMSB, San Myshuno School of Ballet. But now she's 18 and just starting out in college, and it feels too soon.

Casey is in the other bathroom* and she smiles at Malaya before frowning in concern as she spots Malaya's face. "What's wrong?" She asks. Malaya rambles in a panic, and Casey calms her down. "Breathe, Mal. It's okay." She says, and Malaya takes a deep breath. "I'm pregnant, Case." Casey's eyes widen. "Okay. So what do you want to do?" She asks, and Malaya feels some reassurance in Casey's calmness. "I don't know." Malaya admits in a small voice, and Casey pulls her close for a hug. "We'll figure it out together, Mal." She says, and Malaya nods. "I want to have kids with you one day, but it's so soon. We just started college, and I want to go to SMSB once I finish college and I know you want to work as an art critic." She sobs, and Casey holds her. "It'll be okay, babe." Casey says, rubbing Malaya's back reassuringly. "We don't have to decide anything right now, and we can go to the doctor and make sure and go from there." Casey says and Malaya nods. "Case, please don't tell your dads til we decide, in case we don't have the baby. I think I'll just let my moms and sister know for now as well because it'll be harder hiding it from them but I don't want to tell anyone til we talk it over." Malaya says. Casey bites her lip but nods.

Meanwhile in Newcrest, Piper's at a local park with her girlfriend Cam and her friends Darren, Malaya, Lily, Amir. Cam's friend Casey had come over to visit Cam, and Piper invited her to come and hangout with the group too.

Cam and Piper introduce Casey to everyone, and as Piper introduces her to Malaya, she notices Casey blushing, and Malaya giving Casey a similar moon eyed look and smile. A year or so ago, in what her family lovingly call the BC, or before Cam, times, she might have been jealous of seeing her ex Malaya moon eye someone else. But now Piper just smiles and feels happy as she exchanges a look with Cam, who smiles too.

Cam wants to tease her friend lovingly, but decides she'd do it later and let Casey talk and flirt with Malaya now. It turns out they went to the same dance school as kids, and share in-jokes about their favorite teachers and some funny stuff. Cam excitedly nudges Piper as Malaya bats her eyes at Casey. "They're so cute together." She whispers, and Piper nods. "We can go on double dates, if it's not too awkward." Piper adds. "Nah, that'd be great." Cam adds, putting an arm around Piper. Plus Piper catches up with her friends Darren and Lily. Lily tells her about visiting her dad in Sulani and meeting a cute girl there, and Darren tells her, blushing, that he and his boyfriend Vikram had finally woohooed. "I'll tell you about it later." He says as Piper grins and poke him in the arm. Plus she hugs her friend and cousin (her auntie Megan’s son) Amir. "Hey Amir, you're still looking like a dork, I see." She teases. Amir scowls playfully but laughs before ruffling Piper’s hair as she grumbles good naturedly at him for messing it up.

Casey's dads let her stay for the whole weekend at Cam's house, and on Saturday, she, Cam, and Piper headed to Shimuzu for lunch. Cam and Casey headed there together, and Piper's moms dropped her off. She said hi to Casey (I gave her a mini makeover, changing her haircut and color to one I felt like suited her), and then turned to Cam. "Cam, you look so good." Piper said, checking out her girlfriend. "Thanks. Is the earring too much? Auntie Is gifted it to me, she said it looks cool but I don't know if I can pull it off like she does." Piper smiled and touched the gray triangular dangle earring, accidentally brushing Cam's neck and making her blush. "I like it. You look handsome as hell." Cam smiled. "Thanks Pipes." She said. "I even wore these floral dress pants for you." She added, pointing out her dark gray pants with a lighter gray floral pattern. "I can see that, and they look good on you." Piper said coyly as she pulled Cam in for a kiss and ran her hands over Cam's butt, which made Cam grin before she gently moved Piper's hands to her waist. "I love your dress, Pipes and you look beautiful too." Cam said as they pulled apart. "Thanks." Piper said shyly as Cam tucked a lock of hair behind her ear and leaned in to kiss her again. "Hey lovebirds, stop kissing and hurry up. I'm hungry as hell and freezing my butt off cause of you two." Casey called playfully from where she was waiting for them. Cam flipped Casey off and Casey laughed before Cam grinned and put her arm around Piper as the three of them walked inside the restaurant together.
