New Beginnings

Chapter 9

Alei

"What time does Aug get here?"

"He's here already. We spoke this morning."

"Oh ok. Y'all have plans for later."

"Yup." I smiled. "I don't know where to but he just said that I'm going to enjoy it."

"You seem excited."

"I am. Its been hard with this belly so I'm really trying right now."

"Well that's good."

"Yea. The last thing I want is to be the reason why he gives someone else his attention."

"Alei." She sighed.

"I'm just saying Jaz."

Getting up, I went and answered the door. Smiling at Druex, I stepped aside and let him in.

"You seem cheery today."

"I am and sorry about the other day."

"Its cool. I've dealt with you throwing things at me when you were pregnant with Amirah."

"Let's not go there." I shook my head.

Greeting Jaz, Amirah came running out, dressed and ready to go.

"Awe my baby look so cute." Jaz grabbed her up.

"Auntie Jaz." She laughed.

"Alright ladybug, you ready to go to the aquarium."

"Mhmm." She nodded as she was still in Jaz arms.

"Words." I looked at her.

"Sorry mommy. Yes daddy." She came down and went to him.

"Kiss mommy, tell her later."

Coming over to me, she kissed me then my belly before they left.

"I'll call you when we on our way back."

"Thanks."

Once they left, I told my mother I was as leaving, and left with Jaz. We didnt have anything specific planned so we were just going with the wind.

"I miss these outings." I sighed.

"Me too. I don't know why you went and got pregnant."

"Well I'm sorry." I laughed.

"You're forgiven." She looked at me then at the road.

Pulling up downtown, we found a park and did some shopping at the boutiques. As much as I hated it but loved being out, walking was hard for me.

"I'm sorry, I'm slowing us down."

"Girl hush." She fanned me off.

"I'm serious. I just don't understand how I'm this big."
