RAISING THEM TOGETHER

CHAPTER 1

History repeats itself

Its been a few days since I found out I was pregnant and I still can't wrap my head around it. I'm having another baby with Malik. I'm happy but I'm also scared out of my goddamn mind and I'm already 7 weeks along. 7 weeks was when I told Malik I was pregnant with Blake it's like history repeating itself.

I'm sitting in maliks bedroom by myself I can here the workers in our house drilling things and just the thought of us moving in their all amazes me if everything runs smoothly we will be in there in around 5 months just in time for baby. Maliks at UCLA and Blakes in her room sleeping yet again so I have nothing better to do.

Schools out for the summer however malik has to start college seeing as he is a football player so he's only there for football at the moment. Moniques at the hospital and lishas in her room I don't know what she's doing but I don't want to disturb her so I mess with my belly button piercing knowing I have to take it out when my stomach get to big.

I'm in my favourite outfit ever mals boxers and his shirt he wore yesterday so it smells just like him. My stomach turns and twist nausea rushing over me to I run across the room and I couldn't even make it to the toilet as I throw up in the sink I haven't eaten anything today so it was just stomach acid. I wipe my mouth turning the sink off and the vomit washed down the drain and I wash my hands and brush my teeth.

I put on my socks walking over to lishas room I open the door without knocking to see her pulling away from Jordan mals bestfriend. I close the door but she speaks. "it's ok aiko come in." i open the door once me and she pats the bed opening her arms so I crawl on her bed.

"hey jordan." i smile and he nods his head basically saying whats up. "so um does Malik know about you two." lisha shakes her head. "we've only been dating for 2 months so we haven't really told everyone." i nod. "you should probably tell him soon before he finds out I the worst way possible." she nods.

"anyways talking about finding out in the worst way possible I have to tell you something and I don't want you to find out in a really bad way but um... I'm pregnant... Again." she gasps covering her mouth with her hand.

I look down as a tear rolls down my face."I'm scared shitless lisha I know ive done it before but I'm so traumatised and I need more time but I'm not giving this baby up so I'm just taking this hopefully nine months to prepare but it's so surreal to me right now I'm only 7 weeks along and I found out a few days ago but I'm so scared I haven't really told anyone and Malik knows how I'm feeling about it right now but I don't want him to know how it's really fucking me up you know and I want to talk to Monique about it but she barely home and I know she's stressed at the hospital so I don't want to tell her straight away you know."

She nod wiping my tears away and I see jordans face laced with concern."please don't tell Malik how much this is affecting me." he nods giving me a week smile.

"I have my first scan when I'm 10 weeks so hopefully when I hear there heartbeat I'll feel less calm." i put my hand on my lower stomach. "gosh my bestfriend is pregnant with my brothers baby... Again." she laughs which makes me laugh.

"mama" I hear from across the hall. "welp I've got to go be a mother so I'll let you get railed just be quiet." she smiles. "yeah cause your sooo quiet." i laugh rolling my eyes but get up closing the door behind me. I walk into Blakes room to see her in a crib I know she can get out of it and she know I know that she can get out of it but I like that she still waits for me to pick her up sometimes.

I walk into her bathroom with her on my hip as I start a bubble bath. "no mama no bath." she wiggles in my arms. "yes bath angel so you can be all nice and clean when daddy gets home." she smiles at me gosh she loves her daddy so much.

I sit her on her counter pulling her messy afro inter a little bum before putting on her shower cap. I add the bubble I'm her bath splashing the water around testing the water but also helping the bubbles rise. I add I'm her bath toys and underwater light so that the water changes color every so often. I stand up as she sings me a song in her own would I take her out her pj's and pull up before putting her in the bath and pulling a stool next to it so I can watch her.

We sing the food song together as I let her enjoy the bath. I grab her little daisy duck towel taking her out the bath and wrapping her in it and Putting on the towel hood thay is attached to it and she looked adorable.

I put her in a new pull up and a pink long sleeve baby bodysuit and her floral leggings. Shes officially of breast milk however I am still lactating like a fucking cow so I sometimes pump and give her it in her cereal or oatmeal instead of cow milk.

I walk us both downstairs and into the kitchen when I scream when I see Monique placing a hand on my heart and my daughter being just like her father laughs at me like it is funny. "your home extremely early "
She shrugs. "I apparently only work mornings on a Tuesday and no one told me be that's OK cause now I can see my grandbaby" she picks up Blake from the floor kissing her cheek.

"willed teese peas" blakes asks and my heart grows at how adorable and well behaved my daughter is. I leave Monique to it as I walk into the living getting comfortable and ready for a little greys anatomy. Half way through an episode Monique walks in holding Blakes hand. "why is my 2 year old grandbaby telling me that she's gonna be a sister."

My heart drops to my stomach and a wave of uncontrollable emotions washes over me.
