I set down the bags from the store on the sofa in the living room. My arms ache from carrying them even just from the car, this was my second trip and I was finally done. Kehlani has been taking me out shopping everyday and I'm starting to think she's going crazy with the baby stuff.
Today alone we bought a bunch of diapers to start stocking the nursery. We had to have two Target employees help us carry everything to the car but we were on our own carrying them in the house.
"Okay that's the last of them. We'll take them upstairs later but right now I need to eat something before I start getting nauseous." Kehlani says setting her own bags down.
I follow behind her into the kitchen and take a seat at the breakfast bar. "I think you're going crazy with the nesting. You're just barely in the third month and you're already getting stuff for a nursery."
Kehlani comes out of the fridge eating a pickle and holding a bag of Hot Cheetos. She sets this load of snacks down then looks in the fridge for what I'm assuming is something to cook.
"Well it's really common for pregnancies of multiples to end early. I want to make sure I have everything set up so that if anything happens I'm going to be ready. Plus I doubt I'll have time when I get big and fat."
I nod understanding. "I get that. I hope that my little nieces go full term so they can come out looking just like me."
Kehlani just laughs at me taking out a pack of meat and some vegetables from the freezer. "You look like me so of course my babies will look like you."
I scoff at her "Hoe I'm older you look like me."
"And? I'm the first one to have kids so you look like me in case of my kids." She replies walking over to the sink.
I look down at her stomach. It was big or even rounded yet but her hips were starting to spread just enough for you to notice. Her stomach just had the smallest bit of fat at the bottom.
The thought of having kids this young scared me shitless. I was thankful for the Depo shot I receive every few months. I would probably be just as pregnant as Keh is. Okay maybe not with triplets but it would still be a baby brewing.
"Have you thought about names or anything like that yet?" I ask her picking my phone back up.
Ever since Baby called and I missed it Ive been making sure to check every few minutes. Before that I wasn't really thinking about calling him for every one of my moves. Although he's the only person who knows everything about me it's kind of nice to step away from him. I don't want to bother him too much with my problems. He's not the sane Baby who would sit at my grandparent's house with me late at night talking. He has all types of responsibilities now that he's successful.
The last conversation we had had my stomach in knots wondering what he could possibly want to talk about regarding our relationship and Choppa being apart of that. I couldn't imagine losing Baby so if the choice came down to it I'd have to pick Baby. This radio silence from him is driving me crazy but I have to wait.
"- and I would feel crazy if I did it this early. You're not listening to me are you?" My sister's voice breaks me from my thoughts.
I give her an innocent smile. "I'm sorry I'm just thinking about something. But it's not crazy to pick some names out."
She is now standing at the stove turning it on for whatever she's about to cook. I watch her turn on the stovetop then place a pan on it. Kehlani was such a good cook that I couldn't wait to eat whatever she was currently making.
