My Brother's Best Friend

Chapter 17

I woke up in Santo's arms. I was already facing him so, I just looked up at him. I put my hand on his face and smiled. I'm very lucky to have him. I took my hand off of his face and wrapped it around his waist before moving closer to him. I love the way he smells. He smells so good.

"Mornin, baby." Santo said. I smiled. "Mornin, babe. When did you go to bed?" I asked. Santo shrugged. "Well, you passed out at three and I laid with you for a while then, I had to get lunch for me and I got yours in the microwave over there. After I ate, I went to bed with you. So, like eight maybe." Santo said. I smiled. "I love you." I said, kissing his cheek. "I love you too, baby." Santo said. I smiled again.

"You ready to go walk again, momma?" Santo asked. I nod and Santo helped me up. Me and Santo did our hygiene things. I dressed in pajama bottoms and a tank top. Santo wore a black shirt with black basketball shorts and we both put on tennis shoes. "Come on, Pooh." Santo said, reaching out his hand. I smiled and took it as we began walking.

"So, have you thought of any names?" Santo asked. I giggled. "I'm only a few weeks, it's to early to start thinking." I said. Santo squeezed my hand. "I know but, I'm ready for you to have it. I wanna hold him or her. I want us to be a family. It's gonna be perfect." Santo said, smiling. I smiled at him. "Aww." I said, before kissing his lips.

"What have you been thinking?" I asked, swinging our arms. Santo chuckled. "Well, if it's a boy I want him to be a junior and if it's a girl, Jordan Justice Makayla Hope August." Santo said. I kissed him again. "Aww, my middle names." I said. Santo smiled. "Well, I know it's your family name. Your mom, grandma, great grandma, great great grandma and you get the point, all had that name. I know you want to carry on the tradition." Santo told me. I felt all warm inside and started tearing up.

"That's so sweet and, and," I started crying and Santo pulled me into a warm hug. "Calm down, breath." Santo said. I did so because he was rubbing my back. That calms me. And he smells good. That helps, it's comforting.

"Babe?" I asked, after a while. Santo let go of me and grabbed my hand. "Yes, love?" He asked. I smiled. "Can we eat?" I asked. Santo nods and grabs my hand, leading me to the cafe downstairs.

Me and Santo both got pizza and fries. He got a gatorade and I got a grape juice. I also got an apple because Santo wanted me to get something healthy. "You wanna eat down here or in the room?" Santo asked. "Down here I guess." I said. Santo chuckled and we sat at a table.

"So, are you ready to go home?" Santo asked. I nod. "Well, the doctor said that you are out of high risk pregnancy and you can go home in two days." Santo told me. I smiled and kissed him. "I'm so happy." I cheered. Santo chuckled and smiled at me.

I continued eating, I was waiting patiently for Santo to get off his phone but, he's been on it for 30 minutes. "Santo?" I said. "Hmm?" He said, not looking up from his phone. "Santo?" I repeated. He still didn't look up from his phone but he said, "Yes, love?" I rolled my eyes. "I'm going upstairs." I said, a little louder. I picked up my trash and threw it away on my way out.

Santo gets on my last damn nerve sometimes. I sat on the bed and took off my shoes. Santo walked in the room two minutes after me. "What are you mad, Pooh?" Santo asked. "I'm not mad." I said. He chuckled and sat next to me. "What's wrong for real?" Santo asked again. I rolled my eyes. "I'm not mad, damn." I said.

"Babe, look what ever it is, what ever I did, I'm sorry." Santo told me. "Who were you texting?" I quizzed. "Ray." He answered. I held my hand out. "Let me see your phone then." I said. Santo placed his phone in my hand. I started to unlock it but stopped and smiled when I saw his lock screen. It was still of me and him. I unlocked his phone and then saw his background. It was me still. I was wearing the royal blue lingerie set he had bought for me. I smiled a little because he still hasn't changed it.
