a few weeks later.
Standing in front of the mirror in Marco's bathroom, Drea stared at her overly large stomach. Everything was starting to swell, her face didn't even look the same. The puffy lips and nose had her feeling like a different person. She was glowing though. Even through the puffiness, Drea was even more beautiful than ever.
"Okay, listen homegirl you have completely taken over mommy's body. I don't even know what my own vagina looks like anymore. I can no longer watch your daddy do happy things to me. My titties are huge and my back is always on fire. When you get here, you better be the best baby on earth because I'm currently going through hell for you. Do you hear me?" Drea said to her stomach.
"You talking shit to my baby?" Marco asked, walking in.
"Yes! Look at me Mari, I'm fat."
"Don't start that. You're not fat, you're beautiful." He kissed her temple before moving over to the shower. "You ready for tomorrow?"
"Yes I am!" It was their big day. Their baby shower was finally here and they were very anxious to see what their friends and family had planned. It felt good not having to stress over anything. Tiara, Apryl and Des took care of every detail and made sure everything was perfect for them.
"When I get out of here I wanna talk to you about something." Marco said while peeling off his clothes.
"About what?"
"You'll find out when I get out the shower. I grabbed some groceries, we can cook and talk." He responded before stepping behind the glass door.
Drea watched him for a while before leaving out the bathroom. She grabbed her phone then headed downstairs to see what he bought.
While she looked through the bags, a text from Vincent came through her phone. She hadn't heard from him since their date and didn't expect to. Unlocking her phone to read the message, her eyebrows furrowed seeing the invitation to their baby shower.
•moms invited me•
Was all he said. Immediately she went to her mom's contact and called but got no answer. She called again and this time she was sent to voicemail and text from her mom came through, saying her plane just landed and she's call her back in a second. Adriana was finally in Houston for good now that her first grand baby's arrival was vastly approaching.
Drea text her back and asked if she invited Vincent to the baby shower. Adriana read the texts confused since she hasn't spoken to Vincent in a very long time and quickly responded no.
Locking her phone, Drea deeply inhaled. She didn't need this mess right now.
"Alright let's get cooking." Marco said coming into the kitchen. He immediately felt that Drea's energy was off as always. "You alright?"
Drea looked up at him, wanting to just brush things off but they made a promise to stop being secretive. "Vincent text me. He sent me the invitation to our baby shower and said that my mom invited him. I called her but she didn't answer because she's still on her plane so I text her and asked if she sent the invite, she said no."
"So how the fuck did he get it?"
"I don't know Marco, I don't know." She shook her head. "I should've listened to you and MJ, how could I be so stupid."
"Nah, don't even trip. Shit gone be alright. Let me see your phone though."
With no hesitation, she passed it to him. "What did you want to talk about?"
