Andrew's POV

It was late in the afternoon, since I already had practice I decided to spend the day with my fav people.

After Anthony took his midday nap. I got him dressed so that we could pick up Isaiah and Olivia. I felt like I didn't hang out with them as much as I used to so I was planning on having a little sleepover with them.

I drove to their school waiting in my blacked out car. As soon as Isaiah seen my car he ran up to it. I rolled the passenger side window down so that he could see me. "Can I sit in the front?" He asked, I motioned my head for him to get in.

"Yes" he cheered as he got comfortable in the front. Three minutes later Olivia was walking to the front with her class and teacher. I hopped out to put her in her car seat.

"Bubby" she screamed when she saw me. Although she could pronounce bubba the nickname bubby stuck.

"Hey princess," I said scooping her up. "You excited to hang out with me today?" She nodded her head excitedly

"Good" I said as I strapped her in the car.

We had gotten food and the Ralphy was suppose to meet at my house with Junior. Apparently Kam had left him for the night so this nigga decided to bother me.

I got them in the house and the started running around. I didn't say nothing as I went to the living room to put on the football game.

I then went to check on the rugrats to see them playing in Ants room. Isaiah sat on the bed playing his IPad. "Isaiah put that down and come watch this football game with me? Y'all two." I said pointing at them. "Bring your toys and c'mon" I said leaving out.

Thirty minutes later the door bell ring and I get it. Ralphy walks in holding his son in one hand and a duffel bag in the other.

Christina's POV

Kam had come over and we were spending the night together to catch up on some much needed girl time.

"Girl, hold on." Kam said getting up from where we were on the couch. I heard in the kitchen before I heard the microwave and popping noises. Two minutes later she was back sitting in front of me with a bag of popcorn.

"Really?"

"What?" She asked with a mouth full of popcorn "girl you know you're tea is always hot. You may proceed" she said waving me off

I had yet to tell Kam everything that went down with Andy. The only thing she knew was that he found out, well she told him but I couldn't be mad since it was my mess.

After telling Kam the tea with added commentary from her. We started playing smash or pass. It was something we did in college that we still did on occasion. Obviously we don't take it seriously because one of us is married.

"How about vin diesel?" I asked

"Ooouu smash smash smash" Kam stated over enthusiastically. "You know that's my baby. Anyway um, Kevin hart?"

"Uh no, pass" I said immediately. "Ou what about August?"

It took her a second to think about her answer. "Ima have to p-smash. Yea I don't know I just wannaseewhatiystalkingabout."she said shrugging her shoulders which cause me to laugh and her to follow as we both laughed at her silliness.

"Ok I got a good one" she said "Trey, smash or pass?" She asked mischievously

"You so messy" I commented "Been there done that so I'll pass"

"You're no fun. Im surprised y'all didn't fuck tho."

I looked at like she was dumb. "Why would we I'm freaking pregnant."

"That ain't never stop nobody but you're single now and I don't want you to think you need to get back with Andy just cause y'all having a kid together. I want to see you happy."

I smiled at her "I know I know, dating just seems so complicated now.

"Well when you're ready let me know and I'll set you up."

It was the day of my doctors appointment and I was downstairs waiting for Andy to pick me up. I had told him about the appointment and he offered to take me.

Andy called to let me know he was here and I met him at his car. He got out opening my door, I smiled thanking him.

Things were slightly awkward after our talk. We had agreed on being friends and that we would co-parent. We also agreed on telling Ant together that we would still be apart of his life just separately. None of which Andy agreed to originally.

He asked if he could move in temporarily to help out with the baby but I didn't think that was a good idea.

We got to the doctors office and waited 10 mins before being seen by the doctor. "Oh is this dad?" The doctor walked in seeing Andy.

"Yup" Andy responded. Even though Andy was being short I could tell he was excited it was all over his face as he grinned watching the doctor pour a familiar cool substance on the stomach. The sound of Boo's heartbeat echoed in the room as we listened in awe. No matter how many times I heard it I was amazed that a tiny human was growing inside me.

"Do you wanna know the sex?" I shook my head no. Andy wanted to know but he was fine with waiting also.

I looked over at Andy to see him watching the monitor that showed our baby. He must of felt me looking because he turned his eyes to mine and we made eye contact. I don't know if it was the baby or this moment but- "So everything looks great. You're about 25 weeks pregnant. And I'll see you guys back here next month." The doctor said before she left.
