Omniscient.

"I love you." Isaiah announced, a heart warming smile playing on his lips as he looked at the love of his life, his right hand remained on her pregnant belly as he sat beside her comfortably on their bed.

A plate of chocolate chip cookies sat in front of Isaiah and Taelyn as the two of watched Medea Boo; one of Taelyn's favorite movies.

"I love you too babe," Taelyn said before averting her gaze toward the tv, a laugh escaped her lips as she watched Madea trying her hardest not to dance to Rack City. "Oh my gosh, Madea is so funny! I wish she was a real grandma." She chuckled as Isaiah laughed nodding in agreement.

"Right," Isaiah chucked grabbing a cookie and his glass of lactose free of milk, he dipped the cooking into his cup before eating it. "Madea is like everybody's granny for real."

Taelyn smiled, grabbed another freshly baked chocolate chip cookie from the plate keeping her gaze fixated on the tv.

She was currently six and a half months pregnant, and was craving sweets all the time. She thanked God everyday  that she was able to fully experience  pregnancy for the first time, but she also couldn't wait until it was time to give birth.

Regardless of Isaiah's family and their negativity the two loved each other so much, although Sheila was trying her hardest to convince Isaiah that the baby wasn't his after he and Taelyn took a breath from their relationship; which was earlier in her pregnancy.

Grabbing her cup of orange juice Taelyn took a sip before resting the glass on a coaster on the night stand. "Babe, we really need to pick a name for him though, I'd hate to wait until I give birth, that would probably be so stressful choosing a name at that time."

"I hear you mama, we can figure somethin' out." He said as Taelyn then grabbed a small note book from the nightstand, she then flipped through a few pages before reading each name she thought was good enough for their son. She had written down a list of names since finding out about her pregnancy six months earlier.

"Okay so, we have Terrell, Micah, Josiah, Carter, maybe Markel? That's cute!, how do those sound?"  Taelyn questioned looking at Isaiah as he furrowed his brows not really liking any of those names she read out of the small notebook.

"Nah, I'm not feeling those at all Tae, let me think of somethin' real quick, his name has to be special, unique in a way." He said rubbing her baby bump as their little one moved around.

Isaiah was happy to become a father, but mentally he had been hiding how he truly felt on the inside.

He really loved Taelyn and their unborn baby, but everyday it was becoming more and more difficult to remain afloat, he had faked his happiness for Taelyn's sake.

It was silent for a moment as Taelyn continued took through the list of names holding the cap of her pen against her chin tapping it trying to think of a few more names.

"What about Mason?" Isaiah blurred out earning a smile from Taelyn.

"Mason Westover, stop that is so adorable! Of course we have to find a middle name, but for now Mason is a perfect fit." She smiled before Isaiah pecked her lips a few times as they continued to watch the movie.

Taelyn was happy, happy to be a mother, happy to have Isaiah in her life regardless of the disapproval she was dealing with, but had no idea her life would soon do a complete three sixty and that she would end up alone.
