I got home at 5:30 AM after driving around for what felt like forever, trying to find mango ice cream. No luck. I ended up buying one with no flavor listed on the tub, but it had a yellow-orange shade. I figured that would have to do.
When I brought it back to Asha, she ate it without a fuss and went straight to bed.
simple tings a uh blessings fr
She has a full day of classes today, and I'm just praying she gets through it—for her sake, the baby's sake, and everyone else's.
she we nyam off dem head today!
and me nuh wah she nor de baby stress
I decided to crawl back into bed myself, hoping to get at least two more hours of sleep. Both of our days start at nine, and with Kingston traffic, especially on a Friday morning, we might both end up being late. But I guess this is just life as parents now.
At 7 AM, my alarm went off, pulling me out of my restless sleep. I got up and started getting ready for the day. Once I was almost finished, I made my way to Asha's room to check if she was up.
She was sitting on the edge of her bed, staring off into space.
guess de ice cream neva fix her emotions
Chauvanie: "Asha Gaye?"
Asha: "Yes," she answered, barely looking my way.
Chauvanie: "Uh, you alright?"
stupid question but still
Asha: "Yeah."
Chauvanie: "You sure?" I asked, sitting beside her on the bed.
Asha: "Just pregnant, I guess," she shrugged.
Chauvanie: "Yaa guh school today?" I asked, already knowing the answer.
Asha: "Have to. Full day. Nah wear this," she said, tossing a dress that was on the bed into one corner. "Me can have one of your shirts, please?"
Chauvanie: "Sure," I replied, not protesting,
me know she woulda more comfortable inna dress
plus me love see har inna dress
perfect fi har body type
When I returned with the shirt, she had already put on a bra and some biker shorts.
Asha: "Me think me breasts only start getting bigger when dem start producing milk," she said, readjusting herself in the bra.
dem look perfect if uh ask me
Chauvanie: "You inna your second trimester, so I guess that's possible."
Asha: "Can drive me? Me nuh feel like driving today," she said, pulling on the shirt I brought her, which swallowed her petite frame.
my pleasure
Chauvanie: "Yes, wah you want fi breakfast?"
Asha: "Slice a cheesecake."
cake boss
Chauvanie: "Okay."
Asha: "And maybe some soup."
oh dats different
Chauvanie: "Alright, we can buy it before me drop you off."
We left soon after.
I finally pulled into the station's parking lot, exhaustion settling heavily on my shoulders. I stifled a yawn, reminding myself of the assignments waiting for me. Hustling into the building, I tried to ignore the way my eyelids felt like lead.
