"Ms. Nova did her thing with mommy's body forreal, what a good baby." Maleah smiled, straightening out her long cream colored coat as she stood behind her daughter who laid on her stomach in front of her. Her small hands banging the little doll Maleah had given her against the carpeted floor.
"You have my niece in here on the ground, in a public space Maleah?! Have shame." Jazlyn shook her head once entering Maleah's office, the first thing her eyes landed on being a clueless Nova. Looking down at the baby, Maleah crouched so she could take a picture of the two.
Picking her up gently with her free hand, Maleah held her to sit on her right thigh while her body leant up against her chest. Giving her daughter a small kiss on her cheek, she tapped Nova's leg gently to stare at their reflection in the mirror. Just wanting more pictures of them, both her kids to be specific, since she felt like she didn't even take that much. Her camera roll starting to get bombarded by her and Chris more than anything.
"You swear you the main character..." Maleah trailed off, watching as Nova stuck her tongue out still clueless as to what was going on. Shaking her head, she snapped a couple more pictures before standing to her feet with the baby still in her arms. Adjusting her coat because it was cold outside being early February, she laid her head on her shoulder while turning to face Jazlyn again. "Her daddy is coming to pick her up because I actually have to get some work done before him and I leave but...I don't even want him to come here. I don't want people knowing who her father is." Maleah huffed out, following Jazlyn out of her office to walk towards the main area where people stood.
"Why you don't want people to know? You hiding him or sum?" Quickly shaking her head no, Maleah adjusted Nova while looking out to see some eyes already glancing over in their direction.
"It's not even that, it's just these motherfuckers so damn nosey and I don't feel like being questioned and shit. I already told them him and I aren't together, because at the time we weren't which is while I was pregnant but...obviously." She waved her hand in a manner for Jazlyn to interpret what she was hinting at. Her best friend simply nodding because she understood.
"Well you not obligated to tell them your business and shit, tell them to mind theirs and go on. That's her father at the end of the day, they gon find out eventually. You can't really tip toe around something like that unless you just didn't bring her here." Nodding her head because her best friend was right, Maleah rubbed her lips together with her eyes on Nova who stared up at her with her bright hazel eyes. "How many months is she?" Jazlyn raised an eyebrow, since from what she'd seen in size, the baby looked no older than about 4 months, yet she seemed to be advanced already for her age.
