Caribbean Dream

Chapter 20

It has only been an hour and Denari and Malik have been trying their best to manage the duties of the house and manage Jaylah at the same time. Luckily, Denari's mother instinct kicked in on time so they were not under a lot of stress. "We should go on a walk" Malik suggested out of the blue. "Okay, maybe we can go to a few stores?" Denari suggested.

"Sure we can do that. Where to?" he asked. "How about Channel, Dior, Footlocker, Louis Vuitton and the mall?" she asked as Malik stared at her in shock. "All of those places?" he asked. "Yeah and if you want back up, we can call Tiara and Tavon to come along" she said. Malik agreed and proceeded to call his brother. Fortunately for Malik, Tavon agreed and so did Tiara and they were on their way over to them.

Denari got both herself and Jaylah ready for the road. Denari recently did her hair and put in straight hair extensions that reached just above her butt. Her white tee- shirt and her light blue ripped jeans along with her white Nike air force, did her justice as she looked like one of those Instagram girls. After she did her makeup, she grabbed her matching white handbag and Jaylah's baby bag and headed downstairs with Malik.

When they arrived down in the parking lot, Tavon and Tiara were already there. They then all went to the selected stores. Along their shopping spree, people commented on the cuteness of Denari and Malik and the fact that her niece made them look like parents. Denari and Malik both laughed it off but in reality, Denari always wanted a family of her own and the fact that she was thought of as her niece's mother, that made her want kids even more.

"Babe?" Malik called. Denari snapped out of her trance and faced Malik. "Yeah?" she answered. "You good?" he asked. "Yeah, I just was thinking about what the lady said that's all" she said. "What about it?" he asked. "I was just thinking about us having our own child" she said truthfully. "I know you want children but we both agreed that we would wait until we were sure plus, we can't have a kid now that you are basically babysitting your niece. I wouldn't want you to be under any intense stress" he said.

Denari was a bit hurt by his response but she understood him quite well and soon after suppressed her feelings of hurt and replaced them with happiness. Both Denari and Tiara shopped to their hearts content. After they were done for the day, they went out for lunch and then for ice cream. Afterwards, they went back over to Denari's apartment.

They were chilling and also talking about Jazmine's mom's birthday and what they were going to wear. Soon after, Jazmine texted Denari that they were on their way to get Jaylah and told her to tell the others that the party is starting at 6:00 pm. Denari then got Jaylah's bag together and made sure that she gave her a bath and told the others about the party.

.....

It was now 5:00 pm and Denari was still figuring out outfits to wear. Malik and the others left a while back to also get themselves together before the party began. Denari was going to drive to the party since she hasn't driven in a while and plus Malik said that he had something to pick up from his mother before he could come to the party.

Just as Denari was about to leave for the party, she felt the sudden urge to throw up. After she was done, she revisited all the activities she partook in and wondered if she ate something that she wasn't supposed to. She drank some water and calmed herself before going down to the parking lot. She then got in her car and drove over to Jazmine's mother's house which was about 40 minutes away from her apartment.

When she arrived, she was surprised to see so many people. "Nari!" Laila greeted with a broad smile. "Hey Lia!" Denari smiled. "Oh my goodness, you look so beautiful in that dress. Malik is going to flip when he sees you" Laila complemented. "Thanks boo. By the way have you seen Malik?" she asked. As Laila was about to answer, Denari felt a tap on her shoulder.
