"Breakfast in bed? Aww you shouldn't have." It pays to have the best bestfriend in the world and one pwho can cook at that.
"You've had an interesting week plus I figured since your man can't give you that 'Happy eight months' breakfast then I will." She cheesed.
Today marks my eight pregnancy month and this woman couldn't be any more extra than this.
"Where's Reina though?"
"Don't you worry I got my niece. I bought her this adorable Teletubbies toy so she's more than occupied. The minute I handed it to her she was done with me. I left her in her playpen while I made breakfast."
"You're the best, incase I don't say it enough."
"Aww thank you boo, now eat up c'mon so I could get you dolled up."
"Dolled up for what Keisha?"
"Girl tomorrow is your birthday you know you got to look fine like wine."
"I ain't got anywhere going so it really doesn't matter how I look. Who am I getting cute for Reiny?"
"Why not? I'm sure she'll appreciate her mom looking decent for the first time in months."
"I promise my baby don't care what I look like." I laughed.
"That's probably true but I do and baby lemme just say that you do not look your best."
"Yeah aight fucc you."
Keisha ended up doing my nails then Lori came over to put butterfly locs in my hair. I was already feeling better but I wouldn't admit that. Then they actually convinced me to go out to lunch with them. Of course I brought Reina along cause that's my mini me. We ate at a 4 star roof top restaurant in the city. Let me just say that I will definitely be returning there. After eating we made it back to my crib since Chris said he was pulling up. Tell me why I walk in the house to see Danny, Safi, Shooter, Bully, Karla and Kaedan there with him with goofy ass smiles on their faces.
"Well shit you could smile at least." I didn't even notice Dave in the kitchen and it dawned in me that's why they were smiling. I legit started to cry because I didn't know he was gonna be there. As far as I was concerned, he wasn't going to be home for another two days yet here he is casually standing in our home with our friends like it's a regular day. I cussed his ass out though because what if my water broke. They play too damn much but I loved it lowkey. The girls showed me this beautiful section of the house that was decorated and I nearly for emotional again.

"It's just a little some, nothing major but baby ain't no way you was gonna be home in bed for your 25th

"It's just a little some, nothing major but baby ain't no way you was gonna be home in bed for your 25th." Kiki informed me. I got the sweetest people in my life and they really keep me going when I got my off days.
"Okay okay now outfit change and let's get that face beat pooh." Karla fussed practically dragging me upstairs with Danny following closely.
I threw on my white fitted dress that was originally supposed to be worn for my gender reveal. It looked amazing and my stomach was all the way out there too. I complimented the dress with a pair of gold hanging earrings, my gold chain with my name on it and three gold bracelets. Too bad my swollen feet won't allow me to put my anklets on. Danny then put on a purple sash on me that read 'Birthday girl' then Karla did my makeup. When we went back downstairs the guys were already drinking, the speakers were on, I could hear the familiar laughter from my friends and my man who was consumed with Reina. I took a short video for memories of the scene before joining his side.
"You look mad good mamas, bumpin and all." He laughed as he pulled me in closer.
"Thank you." I blushed just as be placed a kiss on my forehead. Every time he does that infront of people I feel shy because nigga what is you doing, I love him though but sheesh got me blushing on the spot.

"How are you feeling? You need a chair,you've been standing for a while or you're good?"
"Lily you the one carrying a baby, I'm supposed to be pampering you mamas."
"But you the one who just got out of a coma, your doctor said you should take it easy for a while."
"I damn near spent a full week in the hospital after I woke up, I'm straight ma. Come join your mans." He said as he took a sit on the kitchen island. I went to stand between his legs and God knows how good it felt to be in my man arms. A part of me thought I would never get to feel him breathe next to me again.
"Thank you for today, I can't tell you how happy I am. I'm so grateful for you guys really and truly. I missed you so much Dave." I said squeezing his hand and I could feel my eyes watering.
"Don't cry mamas, it's too early for that man." He tried to joke.
"I didn't know there was a time for tears" I chuckled as he wiped mine away.
"Me neither but if there is now ain't the time."
"Whatever big head."
"Heard y'all went out to lunch earlier, how was that?"
"Mann it was good. The girls had me laughing all day, I feel like it's been a while since I laughed that hard or even enjoyed myself like that. Hell, it's been a while since I've been out anyways." I admitted.
"Yeah I heard.."
"Why'd you do that though?" He added
"Do what?"
"Give up-"
"I never gave up on you David. I never even thought of doing that, are you serious right now. Why would you think-
"Yo yo chill out mamas, that's not what I was saying. You was too quick to cut me off. You gave up on yourself not on me."
"What you mean by that ?"
"You just kinda shutdown from what I been hearing. Kept yourself in the house most of the times, unless you gotta grocery shop, or the few times Kiki dragged your ass out. I mean you practically shut everybody out. Just stayed in your own zone and the worse part is you wasn't even doing nothing with yourself." He voiced and I couldn't help but start to cry.
"I ain't mean that in no harsh way, I'm just saying ma. You could've been making some serious money moves pregnant or not. Before all this you were the one in my ear about building my platform and you were trynna make a name for yourself one that meant something other than "the daughter of.." as you liked to put it.. What happened to that? I know your show been on pause but you could've been doing something else in the meantime"
"David it was just so hard. There was so much and still is so much going on. I couldn't deal with all of that, shit I felt overwhelmed." I cried.
"Lily you know it's a whole lot of people willing to do anything to help you with whatever.. You chose to distant yourself from those people. That wasn't fair to you or to them girl." He said wiping my tear stained face.
"It's a little more complicated than that Dave."
"So uncomplicate it for me then."
Honestly I didn't know how to explain it to him nor did I want to. It would just make me feel some typa of way and put me in a sour mood and I didn't want that especially not during my own party. I wanted today just be filled with positive energy. I used to cry endless for two reasons one being that my man was stuck in a coma and we really weren't sure what would become of that. The second was that going through my pregnancy on my own was just depressing. My man is up and recovering, fresh out of the hospital and already spoiling me with surprises. I really have it good with this man.
