Walk With Me 1

I walk into the room and Matthew's putting his sunglasses on and grabbing his keys.

"I got work, but I'll be back right after. Yall take care. Love y'all."

Matthew runs out today the hospital room. I can't help but smile. He's a bit late because he's so excited to see the baby.

"How's our princess?" I ask Beyoncé.

The baby is on her chest sleeping. Her personality is quite different from Jazmine's already. Jazmine was trying to lift her head and was smiling and laughing. India is so serious.

I bend down to kiss both of their heads.

My heart booms with joy as I see my baby and Beyoncé.

"Love you."

"Me more," Beyoncé looks exhausted, that's why she passed out right after the baby came out. "Wanna hold her?"

I nod. Speaking of passed out, right when she came to, Beyoncé demanded to have India in her arms straight away and was afraid to let the baby go. She's taking to the newborn stage like a pro. By the time she met Jazz, Jazz was already more advanced and easier to handle.

I hold India and rock her a bit. She's just like Bey with a touch of my features.

"She looks just like my baby sister did."

I look down at India. Almost knowing that we're talking about her, she opens her eyes and side eyes the both of us. We laugh.

"I see it." Bey adds.

Matthew cried when he saw India at first, said it took him back to when Bey's little sister was born.

"Get some rest." I say when Beyoncé yawns hard.

"You sure?"

I nod.

I sit in the chair with my new baby and watch as Beyoncé drifts off into sleep quickly.

I kiss India's cheek and she looks at me with wide eyes and I laugh. She gives me an ear to ear grin. Her second one so far.

"What?" I coo.

She turns away and brings her little hands up.

"What my India Celeste? What?" I coo.

I open the door. Shawn looks at me oddly. The hell is his problem? He has a bouquet of flowers. India is not his baby at all, he needs to be with Robyn.

Beyoncé looks shocked. As she should be honestly because I don't know why he invited himself.

"I brought flowers out of respect for the baby and helping with Robyn."

He hands them to Beyoncé and his hands linger on the stems. Bey looks uncomfortable. He holds an unnecessary amount of eye contact with her.

"Okay, thank you."

"This baby you had on yo own?"

"No, she's the other mother."

Shawn's eyes open very wide and he just scurries. I look down at India who was sleeping and see her with wide eyes.

"I don't know who that man is either, my baby."

Bey looks heavily unsettled and I sit with her for comfort.

"That's the father of Robyn's baby?"

"The results are to be gotten in a few days so time will tell my love."
