Bobby DeBarge Imagines vol.2

What happened to...

"We've been together for quite some time.. I'd think by now you'd know."
Prince's soothing voice sings on the record as I sigh

I grab my landline phone and dial Hazel's office number yet again I'm informed with a "I haven't seen him." And "I'll pass the message on."

"It'll take forever to get you off my mind, if ever you decide to go." 
I sigh as it starts raining outside

- a few hours later -

I sit up in bed in my nightgown watching tv after a hot soothing shower, then faintly hear the door close downstairs making me shake my head as I take a sip of my hot chocolate.

This has been going on for quite a while

"Baby? Baby I'm home!"
I hear him say as his footsteps can be heard coming up the stairs

"Baby? Baby why you ain't say nothing?"
He asks lowering his tone as he enters our room, looking at me

"Didn't hear you."
I say still not looking at him

I take another sip as he comes closer

"Bobby no, move."
I say looking at him then looking away as he leans in and tries to kiss me

"Baby c'mon I had a long day at work and I missed you."
He says pecking my lips before I move my face

"Look I know I been coming home late lately it's just I stay doing sweetening sessions in the studio till dawn baby."
He says as I look at him upset

"I know it's just... Nevermind just forget it."
I say looking at the tv with a frown

"Just what? Baby c'mon talk to me."
He says but I still ignore him

"What's bothering you sugar?"
He says grabbing my hands in his rubbing my hands with his thumbs making me look at him and I stop to think for a second

"We barely spend time together anymore Bobby. When I'm sleep you're woke, when I'm woke you're sleep. What happened to us spending quality time as a couple? The nights we'd go out on dates or to award shows & movie premieres together?"
I ask as he sighs looking down at our hands

"Or when we'd casually go out roller skating by the pier or go to EWF concerts together and have a blast, or even just stay in and cuddle with each other."
I rant clearly upset

"Look baby I know, I know and we'll get to do all that fun stuff it's just we're working on this new album and I've had a lot on my shoulders lately. Motown on my ass bout this album."
He says sincerely

"You just gotta give me some time—gco"

"Yeah, that's all I've been hearing for the past 3 months Bobby."
I frustratingly say

"And it's true, look we'll figure something out okay honey? Just bare with me."
He says kissing my head as I suck my teeth

"I'm still mad at you for missing the ultrasound appointment."
I cross my arms as his eyes slightly widen

"The ultrasound—IT WAS TODAY??"
His tone rises significantly

"Yes, it was.. Bobby the baby's developing slowly they said he might not make it."
I say as my eyes become teary

"Oh..."
He says with a look of concernment

"Don't cry okay? The baby's gonna be just fine." He says sounding like he's trying to convince himself of it more than reassure me of it

I nod wiping the tears from my eyes as he goes and changes into his pjs

- a few moments later -

"Good night babydoll."
He says spooning me

"Night."
I say trying my best to sounds as normal as possible

I then cry my feelings out...

What if we lose our baby?
