Just Be Patient (Urban Story)

Chapter 16:Stand By Me

"Ughh" I said looking through my closet trying to find something to wear. I was almost 9 months pregnant and everything I had I didn't feel right in. Last week the same outfit would fit but today nothing was working for me.
"What's wrong beautiful" Jason said standing by the door watching me pout on the closet floor.
"I can't find anything to wear. Nothing looks right on me. I feel disgustinglyi huge at this point J" I said irritated. I knew it was just the baby but being this size again made me feel uncomfortable.
"Stop talking like that beautiful" he said sitting in front of me putting my swollen feet on his lap as he massaged them. I was just saying the other day that I came this far in my pregnancy with out swollen feet and I cursed myself.
"Mmmm that feels so good baby. Just what I needed" I said closing my eyes forgetting about my outfit issues.
"I always know what you need beautiful. And you still sexy baby so anything you wear you look good in" he said to me as he rubbed my feet.
"I feel uncomfortable J. Like I can't just put anything on and go anymore. I know it's cause I'm pregnant but I don't know. I think I'm feeling insecure baby" I said playing my hands looking down. My insecurities was getting the best of me and I didn't know how to fix it.
"Stand up" he said as he helped me up and led me back to the room. He sat on the bed and made me stand in front of him. He undid my robe and threw it on the floor leaving me completely naked. If it was one person in the world who I was never shy or self conscious around it was Jason.
"J what are you doing" I asked him confused. He just stared at my body up and down taking it all in.
"You know what I love about you beautiful" he said pulling me a little closer.
"Tell me" I said looking at him.
"The first time I saw you I couldn't stop staring in your eyes. They just had a glow to them that I couldn't stop looking at. Till this day every time you stare at me I get lost in your eyes." He said making me blush and smile.
"Your lips. The first time we kissed was unlike any emotion I ever felt before. I crave your kisses all the time and can't get enough of your lips. They do many many wonders as well" he said winking at me.
"See you always ruining the moment being nasty" I said laughing with him
"But seriously your lips tell me you love me countless times a day. Your lips tell me things I never heard before making me a better man. Your lips never lie to me and always tell me straight how it is." He said as he stood up and kissed my lips quickly
"Now your these" he said pointing to my breast as I laughed.
"What about them J"
"As much as we have fun together I always find peace when I'm stressed or frustrated or lost when I lay my head on your chest. I know as soon as I get home to you now matter what I can always just lay there and every issue I have just disappears." He said kissing each breast softly. "What do I say about this" he said rubbing my huge belly.
"This is where we created our daughter. You carry my daughter and let her grow here. I'm so blessed to see this every time I open my eyes and right before I close my eyes every night. I never seen anything so beautiful in my life. Here is where my first child is coming from and it's all because God thought I deserved something amazing." I was in tears at this point. He placed soft kisses all over my stomach as Harley kicked loving her daddy's touch.
"She in love with you already" I said rubbing his shoulders as he just smiled.
"Now your legs and feet" he said rubbing up and down slowly. "I see you go back and forth working extremely hard for everything you have. You are so driven and when you move you mean business. Even when I know you exhausted I still see your legs moving cause you don't stop till you accomplish what you set out to do. Your hustle is so sexy to me and I'm glad I'm marrying a woman who works hard and matches my grind. You deserve the world." He said kneeling down kissing my feet.
"J stop" I said overwhelmed with emotion. He was so genuine with me and sometimes I couldn't handle it all cause I wasn't use to it.
"Shhhh I'm almost done" he said putting his hand on my chest as he felt my heart beat. "Now your heart is why I fell in love with you. Hue you have a heart of gold. You always put others before you and never think what you will benefit from it. Other than my mother I never met someone with such a pure heart. I love listening to your heart beat as I fall asleep at night cause I know every time it beats it for me. I know every time we look at each our heart beats in sync. Your just as beautiful on the inside as you are in the outside." He said wiping my tears away. "I just want you to know that you never have a reason to be insecure beautiful. Your body is amazing not just for how it appears but for all that things it does." I was in awe of this man. He gave my body a whole new meaning. Not physically but mental and emotional meaning. I was falling more in love with him.
"Jason all my life I wanted someone to appreciate me as a person and just see me for what I really am. Not for what I could do for them physically but mentally. I always wanted someone to love me just as much as I loved them. I always was the person taking care of others when I had no one to take care of me. I wanted nothing more than to have just an ounce of whatever I put out back. I have been through a lot trying to force that from people and knew what l wanted was impossible until I met you." I said caressing his face staring deep in his eyes.
"With you I want for nothing emotionally and mentally. I thank God that he gave me to you. You bring me so much peace and love sometimes I don't know what to do. It was hard at first because I wasn't use to a man like you. You treat me like a queen and spoil me like a child. You are so gentle with me and at the same time you have this power over me. Your the only person I let check me and put me in my place. And soon your going to be a daddy and a husband. I'm so in love with you baby" I said sitting on his lap hugging him tight. As he held me tight
"I love you till the day I die Hue. Never forget that and never let anything or anybody tell you any different" he said in my ear as just held on to each other
"I love you too baby and I promise I won't." I said into his chest. We just sat their holding on to each other staying in the moment.

"Welcome to A baby's heaven. How can I help you" the sales woman said as we entered the store holding hands.
"Hello were just looking for things for our daughters nursery" I said looking around the store. I also walked past this store but never had a reason to go in.
"Well we have everything you will need. Just give us a shout if you need assistance and congratulations on your baby" she said leaving us alone.
"Okay where you wanna start beautiful" Jason said as I walked to the back of the store.
"Cribs and bassinets babe" as we looked at the huge selection reviewing each one carefully
"I like this one J" I said pointing to a cream colored vintage crib. It had a matching bassinet. It had a rustic look it which I loved and looked very secure and spacious.
"Ok than we getting them" he said as we continued shopping. We spent 4 hours picking up everything. Well I was the main one. He just carried everything back and forth to the register.
"Your total today is $39,894 and 79 cents." The woman said getting our bags together. Jason handed her his card as I was in complete bliss.
"You get everything you want beautiful" he said pulling me close. No matter if we were alone or in public we always were affectionate
"I did baby. Thank you." I said kissing his lips wrapping my arms around him. Almost forgetting we weren't alone we heard the ladies be hide the register aww at us.
"We apologize" I said refocusing my attention to them as he didn't care holding my waist from be hide.
"Now your larger items are going to be delivered to your home. In about a week." The sales woman said
"That's perfect" I said as started to grab the bags
"Hue go to the car and drop that damn bag" Jason said seriously. He made sure I didn't do anything to hurt me or Harley.
"But baby this bag is light. Let me help you. It's lot of stuff" I said already knowing I was gonna be shut down. He just handed me the keys.
"Go head beautiful" he said going to grab the bags as I went to the walk out the door. I was just about to step in the car when I felt someone grab the door.
"How long you think you can run from your own father" my heart dropped as I got scared.
"I told you to leave me the hell alone" I said getting out the car.
"I'm not trying to hurt you Hue. Come on just be nice for a second" he said as he suddenly touched my shoulder rubbing it. "You turned into a real woman" he said eyeing me. I couldn't believe it. He was still the exact same. I pushed him off me as he grabbed my arm trying to touch me again.
"Now I'm trying to be nice to you but you making it real hard now play nice" he said as I got so scared. I was defenseless cause of Harley and I didn't wanna hurt her or myself.
"Or what" was all I heard as I looked up and saw Jason with red in his eyes. My father had me against the car and what he saw didn't make him happy at the least. He let me go and looked confused.
"And who might you be young man" he said. Now one thing I knew about my father was that he would never fight a man. His ego came from controlling women. He was too weak to ever stand up to a man.
"That's my wife" he said as he grabbed him up throwing him against the wall choking him.
"Jason!!!!!" I screamed. Yes my father deserved this. Absolutely! But I didn't want him in hurt or going to jail.
"Don't you ever touch her again. I swear on my daughter I will fucking kill you" he said not letting him down.
"Baby please stop" I said as he ignored me.
"What do you want with her any way and you better speak fast" he said focused
"I.....I just wanted to find her cause her mother is sick and needs money to have surgery" he managed to say as he gasped for air.
"Not happening so take your ass back to where you came from and find the money another way." Jason said as he loosened his grip some. "And don't let me ever hear my wife say you even thought about her or that's your ass. Don't call her. Don't email her. Don't touch her again. Don't come to my house again. Leave her alone." He said letting him down. "Now tell her what I just told your bitch ass" he said grabbing his head to face me.
"J" I said looking at him
"Tell her!" He said again yelling at him.
"I...I..I won't ever contact you and I'll leave you alone" he got out barley.
"Now apologize" he demanded him
"And I'm sorry Hue. Won't happen again" he said as Jason pushed him causing him to run off. Jason got our bags and placed them in the car. I sat there in disbelief as he put me in the car and drove off.

I was in the nursery putting up her stuff still thinking about what had happened earlier. I was mad at Jason for breaking his promise to me and ignoring me when I told him to stop. He knew I hated being ignored by him cause I felt like he didn't care about my feelings when he did.
"Need some help" Jason said sitting in the rocking chair. He could tell I was mad
"Nope" I said not looking at him folding her little shirts.
"Okay well do you want anything to eat or drink" he asked looking at me trying to get me to talk to him.
"No thank you Jason" I said getting up and placing the clothes in the closet. He just sat there with his head in his hands.
"Hue" he called out to me
"What" I said trying not to cry. I was so mad at him because the thought of losing him crashed me and all I could see in my mind was what happened earlier
"I'm sorry for breaking my promise okay. I know I fucked up but I'm not sorry for what I did." He said
"Whatever Jason" I said walking past him filling up the changing table.
"Hue please talk to me baby" he said grabbing me from be hide.
"Let go of me" I said as I started to cry. All he did was hug me tighter as he turned me around.
"I'm sorry beautiful" he said hugging he as I cried in his chest
"You didn't even listen to me when I said stop. You ignored be J" I said hitting him on his chest over and over weakly as I cried.
"I know I know baby but he was going to hurt you. I didn't know what else to do. When I walked out the door and saw him grabbing you I lost it" he said rubbing my back.
"I understand that and I can't blame you but I just didn't want you to get in any trouble. Harley could come any day now and she needs you. I need you." I said to him placing his hand on my stomach
"Baby I get that. Believe me I do but my job is to protect the 2 most important women in my life. I don't care how I will do it. I'm so sorry I ignored you but I did what I had to do. I'm never sorry for that. You are my everything Hue and I won't have nobody scaring you or trying to threaten you. Never." He said making me understand
"I see where you coming from J. I do. Next time just don't ignore me okay" I said as I wiped my eyes
"Ok beautiful. Can I have a kiss please" he said as I pulled by his shirt and kissed his lips softly.
"Thank you for protecting me today. I appreciate that" I said kissing him again as we said I love you to each other over and over in between kisses. I was ready to move on and enjoy my life without this cloud of fear over my head. No matter that man was my rock and I loved him through it all.
