"Can you get me a hot pickle please"

"No." I was folding baby clothes putting them away in my child's drawers. Natalie over here whining about another hot pickle

She already done had 6 of them nasty bitches and wanna ask for another one like her breath ain't hot as hell

After calming down and talking with this childish woman. Who kept my baby a secret from me because I moved on quicker than she thought I would, we decided on co parenting . I just want to be in my kids life that's all. All the extra shit ion need

I grabbed another hot pickle and handed it to her

" hmm"

the tears that was forming around her eyes vanished as quickly as they appeared making me shake my head as I continued folding clothes

A nigga moved into her apartment for the time being.

I want to be there when my baby crying in the middle of the night, when he/she needs to be changed or a bottle, for the first steps, all of it I didn't want to miss a second more of the process

A contract was sign between us and so far we've been fine. We don't push past the baby daddy/ baby momma boundaries.

I finished putting the baby clothes away then started on the setting up the playpen while Natalie watched. We almost at the finish line one more month to go and then my baby gonna be here

"Ouu" she held her hand against her belly as she winced in slight pain. I rushed towards her on my knees trying to figure out what was happening

She grabbed my hand and placed it against her stomach " she kicking"

I blinked back tears as I felt her little kicks " how you know it's a girl?"

She shrugged as she laid back letting me touch her stomach " girls run in my family. I'd be surprised if it's a boy"

I nodded absentmindedly as I felt another kick

I wiped my tears getting up as we locked eyes with one another. That's been happening slot lately

I cleared my throat and went back to setting up the play pen while she munched on that nasty ass pickle

" when the baby comes how long do you want to wait before letting people around her"

I thought about it as I placed the play pen in the corner of the room " At least a month. I already know our mommas not gonna wait that long but everyone else, especially the kids in the family should wait until she's been in the world for a bit"

She nodded in agreement as she finished her pickle and closed her eyes. I knew she was going to fall asleep any minute now as soon as I saw her cross her hands on top of her belly.

Lifting her up startling her "what are you doing ?"

"You about to fall asleep on that chair and your feet hurting so I'm just carrying you to yo bed that's all"

She didn't say anything else as I made the short trip to her room where I already set the baby crib. I looked around seeing more baby clothes and gifts everywhere

"How the hell you sleep in here ?" I wasn't really asking for an answer and I wouldn't have gotten it anyways because her light snores against my skin let me know she was already gone.

I walked out going towards my room and placed her softly on my bed and covering her with the blanket. I stepped back watching her sleep peacefully with her arms protectively around her stomach making me smile softly

Our situations could've been different if we just did it right the first go round.

I watched her for a few minutes more before leaving out and heading to her room to organize the mess.

" aii let's get started.

" how's my baby momma?" I rolled my eyes as I finished plating the food I made for me and Natalie while on the phone with Michelle

" she bout to wake up any minute now"

"Mhm and how are you two? I know since you found out she was keeping the baby from you cause she felt hurt about you moving on like she didn't matter"

"Chelle... that grown woman"

"I'm just saying Sia you do that a lot. You don't even let people explain and you dead them from yo life instantly"

I shrugged as I wiped sauce that fell on my arm "Cause you got one time to show me you ain't bout me. She had more than one time and each time she pushed me away when all I wanted was her every time.

I'm allowed to choose myself."

"Mmm I get that Sia. And it's fuck her if she don't want my older brother! But you both are stubborn because I know it's more to it than the situation that happened

Are you still in love with her?"

I didn't say anything as Natalie wobbled her self in the kitchen "hmm" I pushed my phone in front of her so Chelle would get the hint and drop it the conversation

"Hey babymomma!" Natalie chuckled softly as her and Michelle started talking. I watched her, studied her,

Do I love her?

I know everything about her.
How she hates Rom-Coms and loves Marvel, How she hates ugly crying , how right before she gets mad she scrunches her nostrils together, how she loves the rain against her skin, how she's afraid of rollercoaster but won't let anyone "bitch" her if they dare her to get on one, how even though she pushes me away I want her to know it's safe in my arms, how she's insecure about lips but I find extremely sexy every time they move like now.....

"Chelly I'll call you back" I took the phone away from her while sliding a plate of food in front of Natalie

"Okay ! Seems you figured out the answer to my question" she was smiling ear to ear

"Girl get off my phone... Love you " I hung up before she could say anything back as I turned back around and watched Nat eat her food.

" Mama Wright taught you well" she moan as she took another bite

I just stared at her until we locked eyes and were in an intense state. I slowly moved my gaze watching her gulp then down at her hands where I know she's rubbing against her thighs once she gets nervous

I moved my eyes back up locking them with hers

" Why can't you see that I'm in love with you Natalie?"

She dropped her fork looking at me crazy

"Huh??"
