8 months later
Nasir's POV
It's been 8 months since Mo gave birth and things have been great, well besides Mylah who makes it her duty to wake everyone up at 2 a.m.
*baby crying sound*
Glancing at the clock I smiled to myself. Right on time, I thought to myself as i felt Mo shuffling on her side to get up.
"It's ok, I got them" I told her placing a kiss on her forehead as she mumbled a thank you and went back to sleep. Entering the nursery, I was greeted by Micah staring at me wide eyed as his sister cried for both of them.
"I know buddy" I said giving him his bottle before I picked Mylah up, he was the quieter one, while his sister was a firecracker.
"Here you go princess" I gave her the bottle and sat in the rocking chair. After a few minutes, I burped them both and they went back to sleep. Climbing back into bed, Mo snuggled closer to me, and I sighed in contentment.
Next day
Mo's POV
Getting out of bed I went to the washroom to freshen up before heading downstairs. The smell of bacon caused my stomach to growl as I reached the bottom of the stairs, going over to the play pen I picked up my angels giving them both kisses before putting them down.
"Good morning my babies!! Where is your daddy huh?"
"Right here" I turned at his voice to see him already dressed for work "I already cleaned and fed them" he said wrapping his arms around my waist and pulling me closer "Breakfast is in the kitchen for you".
"Thank You" I placed a kiss on his lips.
"No need to thank me baby" he said smacking my ass, "See you later".
"Have a good day and be careful.
"I will" he stated before leaving.
"Look like it's just us again today, what are we going to do?" I asked them as Micah giggled.
Few hours later
"Ok nique, all you have to do is schedule the meeting with Mr. Parks so we can finalize the menu, after that you guys can close up early"
"Alright Mo, I'll do that and let you know the date. Bye" she said before hanging up.
For the rest of the day I did some cleaning and responded to emails for work. After putting the twins down for a quick nap, I began making dinner. The sound of the bedroom door closing made me jump out of my sleep and I turned to the clock that read 11:00 pm.
Sitting up I faced Nasir that was busy undressing "You're late again".
"I know Mo" he sighed taking off his shirt.
"This is the 6th time Nas, you couldn't answer my calls or at least say you'll be home late?"
"I'm not in the mood to argue Mo, so can you not?"
"I'm not trying to argue Nasir, a simple I'll be home late would have been f***king good" , I replied rolling my eyes and getting off the bed to go into the washroom but was stopped by him grabbing my arm and pulling me back towards him.
"Don't... roll your eyes at me Monae" he gritted out. I froze in my spot and my heart sped up as my eyes became glued to his hand gripping my arm. He must have noticed my shocked state because he released my arm and left the room while I just stood there.
Did he really just grab me like that?
I thought to myself as tears formed in my eyes and I climbed back into bed pulling the covers over me as I began crying. A few minutes later I felt the bed dip and arms wrapping around me causing me to stiffen.
"I-" he sighed "I'm sorry Mo, I shouldn't have grabbed you like that" he apologized but I remained silent.
"Monae –"
"Are you cheating on me?" I finally asked the question that have been on my mind for the last 4 months. Part of me was terrified to ask because when I asked Amir that he hit me for it.
"What?!!" he exclaimed sitting up and I scrambled off the bed with wide eyes. "Mo, calm down" he said softly holding his hand out for me and I accepted it as I sat back down "Mo, lock at me. I'm not cheating on you, I'm sorry I've been on edge lately due to work and I shouldn't have taken it out on you or ignored your calls" he stated coming closer to me "It won't happen again baby, and please don't look at me like that again. I'm not Amir, I'd never hurt you. Do you understand?" he asked and I nodded.
"Words Mo"
"Yes" I told him and I wrapped my arms around him lying down as he rubbed my back. After a few minutes I felt my eyes closing "I love you Mo"
"I love you too" I whispered closing my eyesNasir's POV
Hearing my phone ping, I leaned over and picked it up reading the message.
Did you tell her?
Me: Not yet
I sent the message and placed the phone down pulling her close and placing a kiss on her forehead.
I love you.
Till next time, thank you for reading.😊
