RAISING THEM TOGETHER

CHAPTER 17

Third trimester

My second trimester came and went so fast and now I'm at the end of my third the anxious part where you have to wait to see when your in labour because you never know when the time is right. Announcing our baby boys gender didn't go the way we wanted it too it kinda came out during one of maliks away game interviews when he asked how he felt if a team in a near future wanted him to move to another state for him to play with them luckily the away game was only 2 hour from our home city which meant he would be back the next day.

It was an important game which meant that his team went to the semi finals for some tournament don't ask me which one because I have no clue. But me and his family where at Monique watching the game

"Malik you played quite a game out there how are you feeling" the interviewer ask and maliks lifts his Mic up his breathing still heavied and his black lines on his face smeared down his cheeks from sweat his silky blue durag covering his hair and his small well shaped beared making it hard for the sweat to drip down. the way he looked made me clench my thighs together earning a smirk from April and Sean. "um I'm tired and a bit home sick Im missing my family and my girl and I'm ready to go home" my cheeks burn. "your heard it from the man himself ladys he's taken." malik laughs his beautiful smile on show. "how well do you think you played you made to very good touch downs today I must say so myself." i rub my stomach.

"I feel like I played well of course theres a lot of room for improvements umm it's only my first year of college so I have a little bit of  time to improve I'm quite proud of myself cause the transition from quaterback to wide receiver was quite difficult and I doubted myself alot but today really made me realise my improvements and I'm happy." he licks his lips pulling his plump bottom lip into this mouth the small hair under it revealing itself as Malik let's his lip slowly fall god I can't waiting to pull him ontop of me when he gets home."if answering doesn't get you in to much trouble in the near future cause we all know your guaranteed a spot in the pros if you carry on playing this way." this makes Malik smile wiping the sweat from getting into his eyes. "how would you feel playing outside your home town."

Malik tuts "um my whole life I've always wanted to play for a team outside my home state however the past few years my life has changed I've got a beautiful baby girl and a baby on the way so right now I'm looking to stick here because I believe it's unfair to make my whole family up and leave just for me and I've got my own home here so I'm looking to stay but it worse comes to worse and only a team outside this city wants me then that's a convo I'm gonna have to have with my girl friend well wife by then"

My smile grows my stomach fluttering a blush as someone in the rooms whistles. "ontop of that..."  mal continues "I want my daughter to be close with my family cause that's my number one priority and I want my son to-" I freeze and so does he "ahhh fuck I shouldn't have said that."

"your having a boy." Monique asks me and I smile "yeah we found out when I was 12 ish weeks." she squeals and hugs me and so does Alisha. "oh my good I'm gonna have a grandson and I know for the fact he's gonna be the cutest little boy on history." i smile rubbing my stomach and looking back at my sweaty baby daddy as he answers his last interview question and walks away going and patting alex on the back.

I slowly make my way upstairs a  children plate with chicken nuggets fries and diluted apple juice and two beers in hand. I go into Blakes room to see her playing dolls I make them both sit down before handing  Blake the plate . I kiss Blake on the cheek as she thanks me for the food before walking into our new babys room to see the two hunks covered in dry paints and putting the rest of our babys close in the dresser they just built completing the room off.

"thanks doll." alex says his new yorkian accent popping as he open the beer with his teeth. He takes a sip of the cold beer I put in the fridge a few hours ago knowing they were gonna need it. Malik pop his bottle cap of with the back of his shoe. I show them both the bottle opener I had in my hand.

"you two alcoholics couldn't wait a second could you." i say shaking my head. "Alex when brooks due date " alex thinks for a second. "in like 3 ish months" Malik looks at him "you told me it was 4 ish months" alex rolls his eyes. "yeah whatever it don't matter."  malik chuckles.

"whens baby boy coming then" I rub my stomach. "hopefully soon I love being pregnant but it's kicking my butt recently I kinda want to be induced by the end of this week." malik looks at me "seriously??" I nod. "Yeah seriously."  he nods "OK I'm down for that I guess." i smile "good cause you had not choice." i smile walking out. And all I could hear was Alex laughing.

I know I changed Alex's kids whole existence but it's for a good reason this books gonna have around 35 parts but that may or may not be for a certain reason 😏
