Chapter 63: Think about it

"Why don't you just relax for a bit? I helped him on his couch. He leaned back holding his chest he told me that was the worst pain ever that he's experienced. "I can't there's money to be made" he said. I rolled my eyes "How bout you sit your ass down for a change" I suggested. "Who are you talking to Josie? He asked. "Ricky Hardheaded Santana" I said. He lightly chuckled "You think you a boss now, ordering me around and shit" he said. "Yeah, because nobody else is going to do it... so sit tight. Jesus, do I have to tie you down? I questioned. He licked his lips "Imma tie you down in a second, I didn't try that yet? He lifted his brow. I rolled my eyes blushing "Can you stop being a nympho for one second? I questioned

"Oh wow, I wouldn't say all that now" he said. "Tuhh, you know it's the truth" I said walking to the kitchen to make some lunch. I was sick of eating out all of the time. "So what? You never turn it down baby girl" he said pulling the blanket over him. Morgan ran down the steps "Mr. Ricky you're back" she plopped on him. "Be careful girl" I laughed. "Hey Morg" he said. She wrapped her arms around his neck damn near strangling him. "You're killing me here" he said suffocating. She laughed "Nah uh" she laughed

"Morgan" I called. "Sorry" she said letting go. "I was worried" she said.

"Don't be worried, I'm back for good... you a little strong there" he said. "Morgan you wanna help me cook" I asked. "Yes" she said jumping off the couch. She walked over towards me "Go wash your hands" I told her. I was in the mood for chicken tacos. "You need anything Ricky? I asked. "Can you get me a sprite? He asked.

"That's not good for your heart" I said. "Yo, can you stop playing doctor" he said. His doctor told him to avoid greasy foods, food high with sodium and to drink mainly water and here I am trying to make tacos. That's okay I was going to make something else. "Morgan make sure you clean the chicken" I told her. She grabbed the chicken breast drenching it under the faucet. "Like this? She asked. "Yes" I said.

Dreux

I walked in on Mia fighting her sleep while breastfeeding Dylan. I laughed at the both of them knocked out. "Babe" I called. "Huh? she woke up. "Hand me her, and you get some sleep" I said. "I'm okay, I was just resting my eyes" she said dozing off again. "It's okay, get some sleep. You were up all night; gotta make sure my fiancé gets some rest" I said. I had to have a serious talk to her anyways and right now was the best time to talk about it. I grabbed Dylan "Hey Dyl... look at daddy's princess" I smiled kissing her forehead. She angrily mugged me for interrupting her sleep. "My bad lil momma, sheesh" I laughed. "What is she doing? Mia asked pulling the covers over her body. "Mugging me because I woke her up" I said

Mia laughed "Little feisty self" she said. "Wonder where she gets that from already? I turned towards Mia. "Yeah yeah" she said. "But um I think we should push the wedding a little sooner" I said. She looked at me confused "Huh? Why? She asked. "You know just in case something happens, you'll have rights..you know things like that" I spoke hoping she would get what I was really trying to say. She rolled her eyes "I hate when you talk like this; I just gave birth to our second child and here you are-

"I'm not going anywhere Mia, but if something happens we need to be prepared for it" I said. "There wasn't a perfect time to talk about this" I said. "When are you thinking? She sighed.

"Next month" I said. Her mouth dropped "No, that's so last minute. I don't want this to be rushed" she whined. I understood that she wanted a huge wedding night without complications but we had to think ahead. "Dreux you're making me upset" she said
