I'm at the trap weighing some important new drugs we have. That's when Quincy walked in.
"Bro wassup, I haven't seen you in a minute." I got up and gave him a hug
He smiled. "I'm sorry bro, I've been real depressed lately. However I feel so much better."
"That's good, well we just got some new stuff on the market. You good to sell it?" I asked him
He nodded. "For sure, how is Lourdes and the kids?"
"Carter is glued to her damn hip, and the triplets are developing well." I smiled, people just don't understand how much I love my kids.
That's when I hear. "You bitches need to put some damn clothes on or something."
I knew that voice from anywhere, it was my sister Crystal. In walks her and Lourdes.
"Hey baby bro." She walked up and gave me a hug
I looked at like she was crazy. "Why is your ass here?" I asked
"Maybe because you have your 7 1/2 month pregnant girlfriend at home Alone with a baby." Crystal fussed
I sighed. "I was going to be home soon, I really was."
Lourdes spoke up. "I been told your ass to go on maternity leave, but he refuse to do it."
You would have thought Crystal was having a exoticism how fast she turned her head. "Nigga what?"
"I have a family to provide for." I explained to the both of them.
"Quincy and Crystal can y'all give us a minute." Lourdes asked
They nodded, then left out.
Lourdes faced me. "We have more than enough saved for you to take off some months. I'm not about to beg you, if you don't have a decision by time you get to the house don't bother coming home. And it's crazy that I have to threaten you. When I'm fucking pregnant with triplets !"
That's when she held her stomach and made a face. "What's wrong ? Are you okay ? Are the babies okay?" I asked getting nervous
She nodded. "Yea, we are fine. This happens, you would know if you take some Time off!" She started yelling
"Lourdes calm down, you know you don't suppose to get upset. How about I be home by 6 pm.? I asked
She looked at me and grabbed her purse. "I'm going to stay with one of my brothers tonight."
I walked up to her. "Baby really?. It's not that serious."
She made a face. "NOT THAT SERIOUS?! IM PREGNANT WITH THREE KIDS. THIS IS A HIGH RISK PREGNANCY. WHICH YOU SEEM NOT TO GIVE A FUCK ABOUT! In half of a month I'm going to be in bed rest. And I -". She stopped yelling and just walked out the room
Quincy walked in. "Damn man, you got her crying."
"She wasn't crying, nigga stop lying." I tell his bitch ass
"Nigga she was most definitely crying, dude why can't your ass find a good damn solution." He added
I sighed

After I left the trap, I picked up some flowers. Lamont told me that she and Carter was staying with him. I knocked on his door, that's when he opened the door holding Carter.
"Hey daddy stinky man." I grabbed Carter
I gave him a kiss. "You missed daddy?"
He made a face. I knew this face all to well. "Lil dude you pooping, but how's my wife?" I asked Lamont
"She's fine, she just pissed. Dude you can take the time off and you know it. You family." He says
I nodded. "I know man, I'm finna figure some shit out with her. Here watch him right fast". I handed him Carter.
I walked upstairs and seen her laying down on the phone
"Crystal, he just don't understand. This pregnancy is taking huge toll on me. Emotionally and physically."
"I know, my brother is just stupid. If you ever need anything, don't ever hesitate to call me, my mom or Quincy. We know how Christian can be."
"I know, thanks. I need to check in Carter, I will call you in the morning."
With that she hung up
"Hey baby". I said as I walked in the room
She looked at me and then tried to get up. I walked over trying to help her up.
She pushed my hands. "No, I can do this."
She was struggling. "Just let me help you up." I tell her and with that I pulled her up.
"Baby If I knew this pregnancy was hard on you I would've been took some time off." I explained to her
She put her hand on her belly. "I told you a month and half ago to take some time off. You know I wouldn't just tell you that for nothing. You don't respect me or my decisions."
"I do respect you. I'm sorry, I get so caught up in myself and trying to provide for this family. I lose it sometimes." I tell her
She nod. "I understand b-". I cut her off
"Baby No. I know you had it ruff growing up, then my sibling and mom struggled. I just want us to have everything that we didn't growing up. I want our children to have a good life. I was doing the right thing, but over looking what is important right now. And that is making sure you and our kids are safe and healthy. With that baby again I'm sorry, and I will take some time off. I'm sorry to put you through all that." I tell her grabbing her hands
She nodded. "I'm glad you understand. It's alright, we have to learn from our mistakes". She grabbed my face and gave me a kiss.
