Tuesday, September 11

It's been two weeks since I got home from Houston and I have another birthday to prepare for.

Josiah will be nine on the second of October and we've decided to have the party at Jimmy and Naomi's.

Siah wants to have an Avengers themed birthday, so Naomi and I bought Marvel costumes for the kids off Amazon. I'm working on what I'll do for the cake, when my phone rings.

"Hey babe! What's up?" I ask.

"Nun, I just called to see how my son and future baby mom's is doing."

I glare at Jey and he gives me a cute smile.

"We're fine. Siah misses you, though." I say, as I lean over the counter.

"I miss him, too. I'll be home soon."

"Good." I groan uncomfortably, as I stand up straight and walk over to the kitchen island.

"What's wrong?" Jey asks.

"Nothing..My breast have been annoying me lately." I frown, as I sit down.

"What do you mean by that? Don't tell me you have a lump." The panic in Jey's voice makes my heart ache.

"No! They've just been aching!" I sigh and Jey sighs with relief.

"Have you told your doctor?" He asks.

"Yeah. She told me she wants to wait until my period comes. Don't know what she means by that." I frown.

"I don't know about all that, but I'm sure you're fine. You might be stressed or something." Jey says and I shrug.

"Anyways, I think you should dress up as Spider Man for Josiah's birthday."

"You expect me to do backflips off tables or something?"

I giggle and shake my head.

"No. But, you know Spider Man is his favorite superhero. So, when you surprise him when you come home; dress up as Spider Man."

Jey is quiet for a minute and I look at my phone screen.

"Niyah, when does your period start?" Jey asks.

"Um..around the seventh. Why?" I ask.

"Just asking..."

"Well, I need to figure out this birthday cake situation. Call me tonight, ok?"

"Alright. Love you."

"Love you, too. Bye!" I blow kisses at the phone and hang up.

Can this really be happening?

Galina says she'll make the cake, so that's one less thing to worry about!

I get dressed to go get Josiah from school, when I suddenly get a craving for banana nut muffins.

"I should make a store run.." I say to myself, as I slide on my black coveralls and sprits some perfume.
