Jasmine waddled around the house taking a closer look at the new renovations. In the home stretch of her pregnancy, her body had changed rapidly. Her nose, ankles, and lips were swollen. Her belly was heavy and active.
"Babe?!" Aubrey called, walking down the hall
"In the nursery." She responded
He leaned his head into the doorway. "I gotta go to the studio. Khaled's in town."
She rolled her eyes before turning to face him. "I'm 38 weeks pregnant."
"I won't be far. If you need me, call me." He dismissed
"I just don't understand why you want to start working again when I need you the most." She mumbled
"Jas I don't have time to do this again." He glanced down at the Patek on his wrist
"Bruce will be kicking it with you while I'm gone." He added
"Bye." She said flatly
"I love you." He closed the gap between them
She ignored him. So, Aubrey lifted her chin.
"Hey, I love you." He met her eyes searching for emotion
They were full of anger.
"Act like it." She pulled away, stumbling out of the room.
Aubrey furrowed his brows. He did not understand his wife these days. He wanted to support her but he also had to support himself. Music helped with that. Jas wanted to spend every waking moment together and he needed space. So, he took the space and now he was paying for it.
On the bright side, he was officially working on his sixth studio album. In the last few weeks, producers and artists had been flying into the city to collaborate. Aubrey had not been this inspired in years. He did his best to balance work and home but his efforts remain futile.
He followed his emotional wife down the hall. "Jas."
When he entered their bedroom, he watched her as she put on a pink Lululemon legging set.
"Where are you going? You're supposed to be on bed rest." He inquired
"Going shopping." She said plainly
"Gonna go spend my money to feel better?" He chuckled
"Our money and yes." She responded
"Don't stay out too long." He kissed her cheek
She nodded feeling his hand rub across her swollen belly.
