We wake up at 05:30 the next morning and get ready to hit the road. He is wearing oversized black sweats and an oversized hoodie. I wear a long black maternity body hugging dress. I also wear some black novelty slippers, my feet are killing me today.

I wear a white hoodie over. I fix my hair while Ntsi places everything in the car.

Uya: baby!

I say calling for him from our room.

Ntsi: yes?

He says running in.

Uya: is everything in the car?
Ntsi: I believe so.
Uya: okay.

I get up and we lock up the house, inform the security company of our absence.

We get in the car, pray and off we go. A few minutes into our trip, I ask him...

Uya: baby, is my pregnancy pillow in here?
Ntsi: no.
Uya: Ntsi?

I say as the tears start coming down.

Ntsi: baby, please calm down. we will get another one at babiesrus.

Uya: no, I want my pillow.
Ntsi: baby, we can't go back.

I just continue crying. He holds my hand and kisses my forehead as we stop at the traffic lights.

Ntsi: I'm sorry.

I nod and wipe my tears using the hoodie.

We stop at the mall and buy the pregnancy pillow. He also buys me ice cream, chocolates and some food.

After getting all of that, we do some grocery shopping because you can't show up at your in-laws empty handed.

I also buy my mother-in-law a diamond bracelet and my father-in-law a bottle of Henny.
