I woke up to Jayden's soft cries, the sound tugging at my heartstrings like a familiar melody. Groggily, I dragged myself out of bed, my limbs heavy with sleep. Jayden, my little prince, lay in his crib, his chubby cheeks flushed with tears. I scooped him up, cradling him in my arms as I rocked him gently back to sleep.

"Naah have a next child "

I whispered to myself, shaking my head.

better not else yuh belly aguh banky banky 

But even as I held him close, my mind was elsewhere, tangled in a web of insecurity. Mia and Jace. Their unexpected reunion at the supermarket had left me feeling unsettled, a knot of jealousy tightening in my chest. I couldn't shake the feeling that there was more to their conversation than met the eye.

All now him nuh know seh mi see but because me and har neva end off pan a good note it was best if I acted as if I didn't recognize it's her.

But dem chiney eye deh cyah hide 

The morning started off shitty. My mind still on the little meet and greet. Giving my kids their morning bath and got their breakfast ready right after I took a shower and freshen myself to start the day.   

My mind was set to ask him about it.

As the day wore on, my unease only grew. Every time I looked at Jace, I saw the ghost of his past.

Mia

 That evening when we finally returned home, exhaustion weighed heavy on my shoulders, dragging me down like an anchor. But even in my weariness, I couldn't shake off the nagging feeling that something was amiss. I needed answers, needed to question Jace about his interactions with Mia.

tek ppl man and insecure murda

A wife can never be insecure 

ok MRS CHAMBERS 

Mia, my childhood friend, and Jace, my husband and the father of my children. Their innocent conversation had ignited a fire of jealousy within me, a fear that Jace might still harbor feelings for her, despite our years together.

I couldn't shake the feeling of unease that lingered over my head. What if Jace was still in love with her? What if he regretted choosing me over Mia all those years ago? The questions swirled around my mind, taunting me with their uncertainty.

that's why yuh nuffi tek ppl man 

naah mek nun and nobody bring mi down 

 Jace had chosen me, had promised to love and cherish me for better or for worse. And yet, the doubts persisted.

We arrived home, and Jace helped unload the groceries. He was unusually quiet, his mind clearly elsewhere. I decided to let it go at that moment, focusing on getting Jacey settled and putting away the groceries.
