Anger Issues Part Two

Chapter 13: Baby Shower

*Three Months Later*

 

*Solana's POV*

"Tyler, can you pass the remote for me?" I asked reaching out for it. I was eight months and I was so big. I could barely get up by myself and the baby has been moving non-stop. "Why can't you get it yourself?" He joked handing the remote to me. I sarcastically laughed and rolled my eyes.

"Ask your son why,smart ass." I surfed through the channels to find my favorite TV show. "Mommy, I wanna watch TV." Aaliyah stood in front of the TV putting her hands on her little hips. "What you wanna watch little woman?" I asked putting her on my lap. She was almost three years old and had an additude like a 23 year old. "I wanna watch SpongeBob!" She squealed. I sighed and turned it to stupid SpongeBob. Life changes when you have a grown toddler and a baby on the way.

"Tyler, did you call Maya to see if she got the stuff for the baby shower?"

"Yeah, she said she's on her way. When does it start again?" He asked.

"It starts at six and it ends at ten." I replied. It was 10:56 and I had to still get the cake and the party favors. It's gonna be really pretty. Blue everything. I had to get up from my comfy bed and my soft pillows and I had to take a shower and get ready. 

I put Aaliyah to sleep, got her outfit ready,and did her hair while she was slumped, then I got my dress out and took a shower, did my hygiene and curled my hair and put on my blue striped dress with my diamond studded necklace,bracelet and I put on my makeup. By he time I was done, it was 12:20.

Tyler was dressed In a blue striped shirt with some khaki shorts with Jordans. "Ooh, look at my sexy daddy." I laughed kissing him. "Yeah, yeah, I know don't rub it in." He laughed. Tyler was so freaking adorable. When Liyah woke up, I put her in a pink flamingo jumper and her pink and white converse. "Mommy, do I look pretty like you?" She asked. I picked her up and kissed her. You look better than me, chunk."  She smiled and started running around.

"Yep. That's your daughter" I said to Tyler laughing. "Hey, which one of y'all niggas didn't lock the door?" I heard Maya downstairs with a whole bunch of bags struggling. I went downstairs with Aaliyah in my arms.

"You look like you need help. Here, put them in the living room and we'll make the rest of the centerpieces." I grabbed about five bags and put them in the living room. "Where is Cherish and Marcie? They was supposed to be with you."

"They got the shit, they just getting you something." She replied elbowing me.

  "Aww, how sweet. Did you get me something?" I asked. She started laughing  and I slapped her. "Cheap ass hoe." I remarked cracking up. We started making center peices and by the time we was done, Marcia and Cherish came tumbling in with some bags.

"Turn your head,Lana!" Cherish yelled running over to me. I smacked my teeth and turned around and I heard Maya running upstairs. "Imma find out what y'all got me."

"Yeah, at the baby shower." Cherish said patting my stomach. Suddenly,  there was a knock at the door and in came the wolves with their kids and girlfriends. 

"Heyy, guys!" I jumped up and waddled over to them and gave everyone a hug.  "Oh my God your huge!" Taco laughed and I slapped him. Courtney and Sarah gave me a hug and kiss and we sat down outside. My daddy and my momma and the rest of my family was coming over to have a cookout.

Tyler and the boys got the chairs ready and set the table up while me and the girls decorated outside with blue and white balloons. Javi and Aaliyah  peas playing with the balloons and Tyler tried to turn on the grill.

"How the fuck do you do this?" Tyler asked Hodgy. "Nigga, I don't know ask Lana's dad. Ain't he doing the food?" He asked.  "Baby, can you get the food outside? It's almost five!" I yelled while blowing up more balloons.He groaned and went inside while me and the girls blew up balloons.

"Soo, how do you feel having a boyy! Did you honk of any names yet?" Courtney asked tiring up a white balloon. "No, not yet. I think I'm gonna name him when I see his face, you know? Tyler doesn't want him to be named after him, so that's out of the question."

"I named Trent soon as the doctor gave him to me." Courtney smiled. "He was so little and he looks just like Gerard." She shook her head while everybody else laughed. "Did it hurt when you... umm yeah." I asked. I'm not gonna lie about being scared. Hell, If you was gonna have a baby coming out of you with a big ass head, you'd be scared too.  "I had medicine, but the contractions are terrible. I was in labor for 12 hours."

My skin crawled at  the thought. "You'll be fine,Lana. You're a strong woman, you've been group alot and you can get through this." She put her arm around me and kissed my forehead. "Thank you Courtney, I really appreciate it." I lied. That shit didn't work at all.

When the rest of my family arrived, the gifts started to flood the table. It was a full blown cookout. The kids were playing around with the dogs that my aunt brought over, Tyler and his friends was skateboarding , me and the girls was dancing and my daddy and my uncles were arguing like always about who's gonna cook. I haven't had that much fun in forever. Even my Nana and my great aunties was there and my great grandma. 

You know who else came? No, not jhene... that funny ass nigga Quincyyy. And his friends. They even gave the baby a gift too. I bet it's money. They gave me a hug and handed me the gifts.

"I got a lil something for the little groovy nigga." I laughed and put it under the table. "Thank you, Quincy!" I gave him a hug and pointed to Tyler. He went over to him and slapped him up. Cherish came over to me and started dancing with me. "Sisterr, look at Domo fine ass acting a fool." We both started cracking up.

"What's going on with you and him? Are you guys going together?" I asked getting a chocolate covered strawberry. "Girl, we doing more than that." She grinned. "Eww,nigga! Y'all nasty."

"Says the girl who's having a baby! And I heard that you guys still be doing it. I ain't gonna tell nobody." She whispered laughing.  I pushed her away and she hugged me.

Finally, it was time to eat. I was so happyy!! And so was the baby. We was grubbin'. Then,after we ate, I opened my gifts. I got toys, bottles, diapers, a whole wardrobe of nice ass clothes, Jordans, and Quincy got me a gold necklace and a bracelet and he gave the baby some gold earrings and a rosary when he got older.

He said that he gonna be a crip when he grows up. Like bruh. And Tyler gave him his first skateboard. All of my presents was more than enough.  After we opened the gifts, we ate some cake and then we played a game that Maya nasty ass made. It was called pin the sperm on the egg. I was dead.

Then after that game,we played baby bingo,and the older people played spades as always and Tyler and the wolves had a skateboarding contest.  By the time the baby shower ended, it was midnight. The wolves ended up staying he night because they was too tired. I don't blame them. I couldn't sleep because Junior  was moving around.

"Tyler, I can't sleep." I whispered kissing him. He rolled over and put his face on mine. "Turn around and let me hold you." I rolled over on my side and put a pillow between my legs and Tyler wrapped his arms around  me and rubbed my stomach. "Solana, will you marry me?" He whispered in my ear. I nodded yes and fell into a deep sleep.
