5 MONTHS LATER...👣

Rhiana's P.o.v.

"Augustttt!?!"

"Yea?!"

"Could you pass me my vitamins?"

"Hold on I'm tryna make sure Leah straight!" He yelled from the kitchen. I groaned. I don't wanna wait. I got up out of bed and wobbled over to my dresser where my vitamins were.

I was in a bad mood this morning,simply because I got no sleep last night,with this baby inside me moving all the time. I was now 18 by the way,my birthday was about two months ago.

A lot has changed these past five months. I found out my gender not too long ago,and come to find out I'm having a girl. A beautiful baby girl. August also stays here more often. I wouldn't say he lives here but he stays around enough.

We still haven't decided if we wanna make things official. I feel that a relationship right now....just isn't important. But either way,august has been there for me since my very first appointment.

Unlike Aubrey,who only showed up to two. He didn't come to any more of them to avoid august I guess. They almost got into a fight again at the second one. Long story short,drake was being disrespectful and august set him straight. Haven't heard from him since.

I doubt if he even shows up to the birth. But august...he's a great father/big brother. He's so great with Derek and is teaching him the right things unlike his mama. I've also had a couple run throughs with her,she always has something to say.

But she has calmed down since our last altercation,she know better than that. I've actually grown pretty close to Lil Derek. He's a real sweetheart,but a goofball just like his big headed ass daddy.

As for aleah,she started 7th grade last month and is doing absolutely great. August cares for her like his own and she loves him dearly for that. After all she's been through,she has strongly recovered. She's back to normal. But every time we mention something about a 'boy' she tenses up. I wonder why.

I guess since she'll be 13 soon the subject of boys has marked on her a little.

August walks back into the room,leaning against the door frame grinning.

"Thought I told you to wait until I got Leah straight?"

"I didn't wanna wait." I spat.

"Didn't get any sleep again?"

"Not one bit." I answered.

"She probably hates sleep. Maybe she'll let you sleep sometime this morning."

"I doubt it. But anyways, is Leah gone to school?"

"Yup...it's just me and you."

"Great. No Derek today?"

"Nah,his mama took him to daycare. I'll try to get him this weekend though."

"Alright."

"So....what you tryna do today ma?"
