Zeon POV

Today is Monday which means it's meeting day and collection day. This also means I have to stay at the trap till midnight which is annoying as shit. Ever since Tay got pregnant, I just want to be around her at

"Boss, everyone is in the meeting room like you asked." One of my workers said.

I got up from my desk and exited my office, closing the door behind me. I walked into the meeting room and all of the chatter stopped. I sat at the head of the table where the binder of all the sales and totals are.

"Y'all doing good today?" I asked. I received some answers and the rest just nodded.

I started to go down the list of people and made sure that they've made their payments and everything adds up. When I was halfway through the list, a phone started ringing and I was about to snap until I noticed it was my phone.

I was about to send the call to voicemail until I noticed it was Tayeisha. I picked it up and made sure everyone stayed quiet.

"Wassup babe?" I answered the call.

"Hey babe, you busy?" She asked.

"Kinda. What's wrong? You sound weird." I pointed out.

"I've just been sick since the morning time. I'm real congested and nauseous. I was wondering if you could bring me some medicine and a salad. I know today is a busy day for you, sorry." She said.

If she wasn't pregnant and wasn't my wife then I would say no. My business time is usually the time where my personal life don't mean shit. But my dad always says, a happy wife, a happy life.

"Let me just wrap this meeting up and then I'll run down to you real quick. Sound good?"

"Alright Z. Love you." She said. I returned the statement and hung up.

I finished up the meeting and thankfully, everything added up so I don't have to catch any bodies today.

When I got home, everything downstairs was off and my dogs were sleeping in the foyer. I jogged up the stairs and went directly to our room. Tay was sitting up in bed with the electric heating pad on her stomach and the t.v. on.

"Awe, baby. You came so quick." Tay said.

I put her salad on the nightstand and I gave her the medicine she asked for. I sat at the foot of the bed and put her feet on my lap.

"You gonna be good if I go back to work?" I asked her.

"Yeah I'll be good I think. I'll just tough it out until you get home. Oh yeah, guess what today is!" She said all excited and shit.

"What?"

"I'm 2 months!" She squealed.

"Damn really? I can barely tell that you're pregnant." I laughed. Her face has kind of gotten fatter but that's it.

"Stop lying. I feel fat as hell." She mumbled.

"Stop talking like that. You're pregnant not fat. Better not fuck around with the growth of my child Tayeisha. Better let all of that weight add on." I said seriously. She better embrace that shit.

"Let me find out that you love this child nite than me already." She laughed.

"I already do. Ever since you told me, I've loved our baby more." I reached my arm over and rubbed her small bump.

It was quiet for a bit while she ate her salad until my phone started ringing. I sighed and removed my hand from Tay's stomach to answer the phone.
