"Can you just paint it beige and green please?" I asked the interior designer. The man looked around at me and pointed to the door. I giggled and walked out the room once again. I felt my baby boy kick and smiled so wide. I walked well waddled into the bedroom Dallas and I shared and saw him working away on his laptop. I walked in trying not to distract him. As soon as I got on the bed he looked over at me and smiled.

"How's my two favorite people?" He asked. I sighed.

"We're going sick and tired of being locked up in this damn house." I pouted. He smiled and pulled me into him. I could smell his cologne forever, yes it smells just that good.

"I can't wait for him to come out!" I said as I sprang from his arms.

"I can't wait for him either." He said looking at me as if I were crazy.

"Dallas he keeps kicking my bladder whenever I lay or sit next to you." I whined as I waddled to the bathroom. It made no difference I already peed on myself a little. I just decided to wash up and drink a warm cup of milk. The doctor said that the milk would calm him down. I wrapped well tried to wrap the towel around my body and walked out of the bathroom. Just to see Dallas wasn't where I left him. I rolled my eyes and quickly pulled on a light pink maxi dress, then pulled on my underwear. I walked out the room to hear Dallas speaking to the designers. He was telling them exactly what I wanted in the room. And those little pricks were listen to him. I rolled my eyes and went on my way, to the kitchen. As soon as I got to the kitchen I heard the gate alert go off. I walked over to it.

"Who's there?" I asked. I heard some shuffling. Then Ahriele voice came through, I rolled my eyes and opened the gate. I walked over to the front door to see her and my nephew. I smiled looking down at him.

"Hey, baby boy!" I said with a huge smile on my face. He smiled and waved.

"Is mister-uncle Dallas here?" He asked. I nodded and stepped aside while I pointed up the stairs, and Dré ran up so fast. I looked over at my sister and she looked nervous.

"Hey sis, can I come in?" She asked. I nodded and pointed to the kitchen to let her know where we'd be sitting. I locked the door and walked right behind her.

"So how's it been Ahriele?" I asked as I went over to the fridge, I was feeling hungry and I didn't want to drink milk now, cause it made me gassy and she's here.

She bit her lip as she was about to speak.

"Life's been real." She replied. I was confused by her statement. I made my face up as I pulled out some food to warm up.

"What do you mean by that?" I asked her with my right brow raised as I shared a plate for myself and Dallas.

"It's just been crazy." She said. I noticed as she watched me share the food. We looked up at each other.

"You guys hungry?" I asked. She shook her head no. But her stomach said something different. I shared a plate for her and Dré.

"Well thanks sis." She smiled awkwardly. I just warmed the food and called down Dallas and Dré. When they came down they decided that they wanted to eat in the backyard. I sat next to Ahriele and we sat in total silence until she excused herself.

Dré walked in with his plate. And looked around the room I assumed looking for his mother.

"She went to the bathroom." I said. He sighed and slapped his hand to his forehead with his hand on his hip.
It was the cutest little thing I've ever seen.

"What happened?" I asked him he shrugged.

"Mommy said not to tell anyone." He said. I nodded understanding but then he looked at me for a while.
