Maurice
"What you doing here? I thought you said Friday?" I asked her. She changed her clothes from earlier "I was driving around. . . Bored with burger king" she says exposing her deep dimples & cute small teeth.
I moved out the way letting her in & immediately King was jumping all over her. He doesn't like anyone besides her, not ever my mother.
"King, Down" I snap pointing to his cage. He pouts and drags to his cage. She giggles and I walk to the back to continue working out blasting young papi.
"The food is for you!" She yells
"Oh for real?"
"Yeah. And I made ribs for us last night " she said rubbing her belly
"And saved my favorite guy the bones" she sneakily drops the bones in his cage causing him to go hey wire.
I let it slide & turn my attention back towards her.
"So, you came out here to bring me burger king , when we decided on Friday?"
"Yeah. I can leave though" she says turning around but the way that ass was looking, I couldn't allow her to leave
"Nah, you good. Come in the kitchen with me?"
"Uh sure" she smiles warmly. Man this girl is fine as hell. I don't understand why nobody hasn't trapped her
"I am really sorry about pointing the gun towards you. I know how you feel and I was completely wrong-"
"Cloe, it's fine baby girl. Just please, don't do it again"
"Okay. Well uhm, I was thinking of a schedule for the little one once he or she comes. . ."
I look at her after biting into the whopper "Every other week? Or split the days up. & we're going to have to comprise on where we're going to meet to even switch off"
After my fifth bite & third fry it hit me that I'm going to be somebody's daddy. Damn.
"We'll see" I say
"How are you going to stay calm for the baby first is my first priority"
"Uhm, shit ionno. Just be calm & precisely stay away from you since we can't seem to get along"
"Nah, I need to make sure your good. So that part is dead"
"Well we're always arguing so why am I supposed to surround myself by you?"
"We won't argue " I shrug my shoulders.
She laughs "won't argue" she mocks "alright fine. We'll see"
"Good. So that means you don't have to leave and can stay a night with me" I say biting the second whopper
"Uhm no. And that one is mine" she pouts. I freeze holding the burger " uhm. Dang, I'm sorry" I say
"It's fine. I want a salad anyways" she says walking in the kitchen.
"No here. I'm sorry, I'll go buy you one"
"Nah. It's fine for real Maurice. I'm not tripping"
"No your pregnant. You need to eat"
"I bought two for you. I was joking with you" she says laughing.
I look at her laughing as I lean towards her "what's wrong?" She says between chuckles
"I feel bad for Miranda. I'm with you again but I told her we could continue to go on dates"
"Well. We're technically not together "
"True, but my focus is on you & this one"
"Yea but go head. Tell her your with your baby moms now so she doesn't get led on. I have to pee pee" she jogs off
"Ight" I say walking to my room to get my phone. Miranda a cool girl but something about her is off. I'll just stick with Cloe.
"Wanna play the game" Clo yells then I hear the toilet flush.
Times like this, I love Cloe here. She doesn't ever have to leave unless she acts like last time.That whole night we played around and fell asleep.
The next morning we both went to work.
And it'll go like that while every weekend we'll spend a night at each other place for about a couple months. Then comes this day.
Cloe is now five months pregnant and is already the cutest pregnant women I've seen thus far. She has this little pudge that's barley there. The doctor has been telling us she's fine, the baby is healthy and that some women are just really small. Cloe just so happen to be one of them.
Now, we both call off of work because we're finding out the gender of the baby, once we find out we're going to do a little shopping and all that stuff Cloe said.
Cloe is laying back so impatiently cracking me up "she need to hurry up. We been here for hours" she pouts over exaggerating
"No we have not. Chill out baby girl" I say causing her to give me the cutest mean mug
"Shut up booty" she snaps crossing her arms
"Mad?"
"Mad?" She mocks me, she is so childish
"I'm not even childish " she snaps reading my mind
"How you even know I was thinking that or not?"
"Because you forever calling me childish " she wines
"That's why. That there. You wine,aww pout, cry, and throw tantrums like a child"
"So"
"So!" I mock her causing us both to laugh. Finally the doctor walks in, it's not our original doctor Dr.Pool.
"Hello Ms. Smith. I'll be assisting Dr.Pool today, my name is Dr. Vega. I see your here to find the gender of your baby"
"Yes" we both say
"Alrighty, lay back please " and Clo lays back. She holds her hand out and I grab it. I see the nervous look on her face. I run her hand with my thumb indicating her everything will be good and that we have a son on the way like I said.
Dr.Vega puts the gel on her stomach and we wait.
He moves all around her stomach and no heart beat or baby is heard nor shown.
She looks back at me & I nod my head to the screen, don't want to miss anything.
"Well uhm. . ." Dr Vega pauses
"Doctor what's going on?" She asks
"Their gone"
"Their? As in?" I ask
"You were expecting triplets"
"Were? What happened? Where's my babies?"
"I'm afraid to say you had an miscarriage"
"You just said the shit. Fuck you mean "afraid to say?" When you clearly said it. No I didn't have a miscarriage. I just felt movement earlier, not. From three babies but I felt something. I didn't have a miscarriage "
Dr. Vega stands up " nothing is showing up Ms.Smith. I'm sorry for your loss"
Cloe immediately jumps up & cries "fuck your sorry for. I know my baby is inside my stomach. Your going to sit yo pink face ass back down & we're going to try again because I did everything right. I ate vegetables & fruits. I haven't smoked or drunk. Have not been at the strip club nor have I been stressing. My baby...-" she breaks down
I stand up to console her. Dr.Vega finally says something "it's nothing you did Ms. Smith everything from your previous visits are showing you was in tip top shape"
"Then why isn't he popping up on the screen?"
"Sorry but the baby is gone" then he walks out. That minute I felt my eyes water. She hugged me with her all.
"I'm so sorry. I did my best" she cries
"Shhh, you did perfect. It wasn't meant baby girl. Let's go home, alright " I say kissing her hair then looking at her. She nods agreeing then we leave hand in hand. I can't believe the baby is gone. We did everything we knew was good.The minute we went home, we both fell asleep crying. I was excited about being a dad, no lie. My family bought us stuff, we bought stuff as well as had a schedule worked out. Cloe still sleeping. I don't think she'll be happy for a while. We was just getting good.
