Ashlen Pov

Trey And I Graduated college and moved in together in a nice Condo, In Utah. Can't believe he talked me into moving down here, far from my family. But anyways I Got My Law Degree and Became A Lawyer. My Family Was So Happy I Was The First to graduate in my family. But Trey got his Bachelor degree and Became an NBA Player the Jazz team. We're not married yet but we got a baby boy who was born 1 week ago. We Named Him Alonzo Anthony Burke , But call him Alfo.Trey Loves That boy like crazy. Would Go To The Moon And Back For him. He takes Alfo EVERYWHERE He Goes. He also brings Alfo To every basketball game. I never get much time with Alfo And Trey Says its my fault. So this how it happened I came home from court cause I had A Case to do. So Once I get home Trey was sitting on the floor playing with Alfo and says "How did the case go?" I then said "it was terrible, I lost the case." I said as I Fell back on the sofa and huffed. "oh I'm sorry. Why did you lose?" He said as he showered Alfo With kisses." I had no choice but to lose ,my client was the one who did wrong and he knew he done wrong there is no way in winning that case." I Said as I looked up at the ceiling, "yea no winning with that." He said. I then got up and went in our room. I undressed out of the business clothes into my clothes I was going to wear for my photo shoot. I Then Went downstairs and walked to the door. "Bye guys, bout to go to my photo shoot. I love you" I said as I grabbed my purse. "You leaving already? You just got here. You don't want to spend some more time with your family?" Trey said As He Looked back at Me And Alfo Gave This puppy Face.Ugh Trey Taught Him How to do the puppy face. "As much as I Want to I can't. I Love yal though" I Said As I tried To Get Out Quickly before They make me feel guilty."Woooww Ashlen."trey said as I Left the house. I Got In My Car And Then Left.

Trey pov

I can't believe she puts her job before her son and soon to be husband. Like really. I Can't Even Recall Her Spending Quality Time With Alfo. Like She Not The Same Girl Who Desperately wanted a baby anymore. She Let Her Job Take over her. All she cares about is the money not her family.But she was raised to continue Grindin no matter what. So I can't change the way she thinks.Its just you would have thought she would want to spend Time with her son at least.So while she was gone Alfo and I just chilled at home,watching tv.Ashlen came back home around 8pm.Around the time Alfo goes to bed."Is Alfo sleep?"Ashlen said as she came in the house."I'm pretty sure if you spent more time with him,you'll notice he always goes to bed around 8pm and wakes up 6:45am every single day."I said As I cleaned up the living room."So you're trying to say I'm not a good mother."Ashlen said as she looked me deep in the eye."No I'm not at all Ashlen,I'm just saying I would like for you to spend more quality time with Alfo.You put your job before him."I Said.She huffed And Said"I do spend time with him." I gasped And Said"oh really,well did you know he rubs his feet together while he sleeps just like you do or that he's allergic to grass like you are?" She looked down and said"No I Did not know that." I then Said"Well Spend more time with him and You'll know a lot more." Ashlen then began to cry and said"I'm A Bad Mommy." I then Grabbed and held her."No you're not baby." I said."And I tried to spend time with him but you hog him,I never get time with him.Thats when I just gave up and went back to work cause you seemed to have everything down pack.I felt like Alfo Didn't need me cause he had you." Ashlen said.I sighed And said"Alfo does need you baby and I'm sorry for hogging him its just I Get So Happy Seeing A little me and being able to hold him cause I was Waiting so long to see him." Ashlen then said"I just want to be a good mommy,watch him grow, and be able to provide for Alfo thats all." I then said"Starting now." I grabbed her hand and took her upstairs to Alfo room where he was sleeping."Aww look at his little baby feet rub together."Ashlen said as she smiled,not taking her eyes off him."Yea,he sucks on his pinky like I use to as a baby." I Said."He looks just like you Trey." She said as I pulled her into a hug."Yea, all me. I don't see you in him at all"I said as he laughed. She hit me and laughed."He does look like me." She said laughing. "Yea he does." I said as I kissed her forehead. We then softly kissed Alfo on the cheek and went in our room.

The next day when I woke up Ashlen was gone and all you heard was Alfo making noises like always when he wakes up. In my head I thought "wow, good mommy, huh" I went in Alfo's room and Ashlen was in there playing with him as he made noises and giggled. "Looks like you beat me to him." I said as I leaned on the door. "Yep, but anyways my family wanted to pay Alfo a surprise visit."Ashlen said. I then said"Alright, but when?" She sighed and said " Now." The door bell then rung. I rushed into the room to put on a shirt I said "When were you gonna tell me this?" As she rushed to put clothes on Alfo she said "Right when I woke up to Alfo, There was a text from my dad saying We'll be here in 10 mins. And that was at 6:36 and its 6:47 and I didn't look at it until 5 minutes ago." I then said " oh h alright." I then ran downstairs quickly as the doorbell continuously rang. I opened the door and Ashlen's dad said "It took forever for yal to answer the door, I'm not sure if the plane ride here was longer or for yal to open the door was." I then said "My bad." Him and the rest of the family came in."Where's my grandson and daughter at?" He said as we all went in the living room. Ashlen yelled from upstairs" were up here we'll be down in a little. Alfo had a little mess up" Her dad then said "alright." It was then silent as we all looked around waiting for them to come down. "nice house" Ansley said. I then said "Thanks, yal plan on staying here for the week?" Ashlen's dad then said " You thought we were gonna fly all the way from Atlanta to Utah for one day and go back home? Ha I hope you got extra rooms" I then said "Oh no not at all I was going to offer yal to stay here, we got enough rooms." He squinted his eyes and said "Oh alright." It was then an awkward silence. Ashlen then came downstairs with Alonzo. "There go my babies," Ashlen's dad said. "Guys say hello to Alonzo Anthony Burke , but you can call him Alfo."Ashen said as she walked into the living room. Everyone came walking towards her and the baby. Her dad took Alfo first. "Hey little Alfo, Its nice to meet you. Could have met you the first day you were born, but Utah is so far from Atlanta, couldn't nobody make it here on time to see you." Ashlen's dad hated that I moved Ashlen to Utah, far from him just so that I can be apart of a basketball team. So I just ignored the shade he threw. Ashlen's god dad then said "My turn to hold Afro." I then said "Its Alfo not Afro" He then said" I know what I Said" I Then Said "I'm glad you know what you said I'm just telling you what you said was wrong" Ashlen then said "Baby he always changes our nicknames, mines was smiles, he changed it to smiled. Aiden's was aid, he chafed it to aids* everyone except for Aiden chuckles*, Ansley's was Ans, he changed it to ants. Nothing serious baby." I then said" Oh my bad, I Just get defensive when it comes up to Ashley And Alonzo." Her God dad then said "Its all good" He Then Got Alfo. Aiden then said" Why Alfo, why not Alo?" Ashlen then said "We were debating on Alfonso or Alonzo so we just decided to call him Alonzo and give him the nickname Alfonso, just like alfonso's nickname is Trey." Aiden then said" I didn't know your real name was Alfonso." I then said" I didn't think it was important yal knew my real name like how would that Pop up in conversation. Like when you first meet someone would you be like hey how you doing,what's your full government name?" Aiden then said" Point taken." Everyone started playing with Alfo As Ashley Played with Ava Marie, Ashton, and Royalty. They got so big, they can walk and talk now. Its so crazy cause like one day my baby boy will be walking and talking and he too much to handle now so just think about when he's walking and talking. But I'm glad he's getting quality time with his family. Next week his family on my side will be paying a visit.
