One Day At A Time

|Chapter 30|

August

"Good morning baby." I said feeling Hazel roll over and scoot closer to me.

"Good morning." She leaned her head up and puckered her lips.

I gently planted a kiss on her lips before reverting my attention back to the tv. After Hazel's breakdown and our serious talk, things have been going way better. I guess she was right when she said we needed to talk, but I was too stubborn to do so. I never wanna see Hazel in that state again, especially from how I made her feel. She's my wife, I should have never made her feel like that from jump, and I swear on my life that it would never happen again. Like I said, I just wanted to make her feel how I did and break her heart before she could break mine, but I love her way too much to see her like that. This is my second chance at having her heart and I will cherish it forever.

"What you watchin?"

"Some shit that came on, but I was too lazy to change the channel." I chuckled, making her shake her head.

"Ava woke?" She asked before making a face and grabbing her side, taking a deep breath. "Ouu."

"What's wrong?"

"Just some stomach pain."

"You wanna go to the doctor?"

"Nah I'm okay." She said as her face relaxed. "I don't think its that serious because I was getting the same pains with Ava."

"So maybe this Anthony way of telling you he comin early." I suggested. "Remember, everything wasn't all peaches and cream with Ava."

"Nah with Ava the pain was more excruciating because she was sitting on my pelvis and ion feel that same pain with him, so I should be good."

I still think she should get those pains checked out because not every pregnancy is the same. Whatever is going on with Anthony could be worse than how it was with Ava or whatever happened with Ava might not be the same exact thing that could be happening with Anthony. Either way, pains so early on in the pregnancy isn't normal. Although she's farther along in the pregnancy with him than she was with Ava, she's only 34 weeks into the pregnancy. That's still early as fuck anything can happen to the baby. I don't care what she says, the next time she gets those pains, I'm bringing her ass to the hospital.

"Alright, well next time you feelin like that let me know and we gonna go to the hospital. I need confirmation from the doctors that nothing is wrong."

"Okay."

"Maaaaa!" Ava called out. "You woke yet?"

"Yeah, what you want?!"

"Can I go with Zamora?"

"Go with her where?" Hazel asked, now sitting up in the bed.

"She going to her friend party at the skating rink and she said I'm invited."

"If you want to. She gonna come get you or I gotta bring you?"

"I don't know I didn't ask her." She said standing before Hazel on her side of the bed.

"Okay go ask her."

"Wait... are you and Ace gonna be okay without me?"

"Of course baby go have your fun."

"Your sure?"

"Yeah."

"Alright na." She said side eyeing Hazel, trying to see if she'd change her mind.

"And my son name is Anthony not no damn Ace."

Once I said that, she peeked around Hazel to look at me with her eyebrows furrowed. She then shook her head and squinted her eyes at me.
