We just landed in Atlanta for Mia's birthday. The last few months haven't been much but the same shit. School, wedding prepping, work, and for all of us baby prepping one way or another.
I see her grandma's Black Benz truck pull up and I grab Mia's stuff. "You gone tell her?" I ask opening the passenger door for her.
She nods. "I need a nap first cause that plane ride had me nauseous" She says getting in the car. I close her door and put our bags in the trunk before getting in the back.
"Your uncles are coming over by the way, I told them you were coming so they wanted to come bother you" Her grandma says.
Mia nods and I can tell she's bout to fall asleep.
We get to the house and I smile at the smell at Pot Roast. That instantly goes away when Mia runs down the hall to the bathroom and I remember she can't stand the smell of it.
I sit our bags down in the living room and jog to the bathroom where she's hunched over the toilet. "You good?" I ask rubbing her back. I'm glad she wore her hair up.
She nods. "Yeah, can you grab my medicine please?" She asks.
I nod and leave out to grab it. I walk in the kitchen and grab a bottle of water out the fridge. "Is she okay?" Her grandma asks.
"Yes ma'am" I answer.
She side eyes me and I smile before walking out. I grab her medicine from her purse and hand everything to her. I close the door and lean against the sink as she takes it.
Once she feels better we walk into the kitchen and her grandma points to the chairs at the island.
We both sit down and she smiles. "I wasn't making that, it was actually leftovers, but you don't get sick, so wassup?" She asks turning the water on and grabbing a sponge.
Mia unlocks her phone and goes to the pictures of her last ultrasound. She hands it to her grandma and waits for her reaction.
Her grandma smiles. "Awe I knew it" She says. "How far along are you? I can't read this and my glasses are upstairs" She says rolling her eyes.
"16 weeks, they said we can find out the gender next week so either her mom or ma is gonna come so they can plan the reveal" Mia says.
My phone starts ringing and I see it's A.J FaceTiming me. I excuse myself and walk in the living room before answering the call.
"Wassup big brother?" I say turning my volume up.
He smiles. "I wanted you to be the first to see her" He says moving the phone a bit showing a baby.
I suck my teeth. "Bro, when that happen?" I ask.
He laughs. "I was with Messiah and Khy playing ball at dad's and Amari called Khy who told me that Charisma's water broke, so she brought her here cause she wouldn't let me come in without showering first" He says. "But I made it, she was only in labor for a couple of hours" He adds.
"So what's her name?" I ask taking a screenshot.
"Amoura" He says. "It means love" He adds smiling hard.
I smile at how happy he is. "Where's Charisma?" I ask.
He switches the camera to Charisma who's fuckin up a subway sandwich then back to him. "She's 7 pounds and 6 ounces and is 22 inches long" He says.
"She looks just like you" I say and Charisma makes a booing sound in the back.
Mia walks out and I move the camera a bit. "Awe look at my pretty girl, we'll be home Sunday" Mia says. "I will be by to see her, plus I gotta talk to everyone" She adds leaning on me.
