I decided to make barbecue chicken, collard greens, and some candy yams for dinner. I put greens on the stove and the chicken and the yams in the in oven. I was kind of tired so I went to go take a little power nap in the tv room before Ty came home.

Tyrese's POV
I finally make it home around 9 o'clock after a long day at the studio. I walk in the door and the smell of something burning hits my nose.
"Babyyy!" I call out as I walk further into the house and hear the stove alarm go off. "Aye T you here?" I get no response, and I quickly walk into the kitchen and see smoke coming out of the oven. "Shit!" I run over and take whatever T put in there out and open some windows to let the kitchen air out. I call Taraji name again and she still don't answer me. I walk into the tv room, sit down on the couch and call her cell. I feel something moving under my butt "what the fuck?" I ask myself. "Get off my feet!" Taraji said pokin me in my butt and crawling from up under the cover on the couch. "Oh damn you scared baby, I'm sorry I didn't mean to sit on you." I said as I kissed her forehead. "What's that smell? Oh shit!" Her eyes grew big and she took off towards the kitchen. "Ughhhhhhhhhh!" I heard her yell from the kitchen. I followed her into the kitchen and saw her leaning on the counter with her head in her hands. Then I heard her let out a sob, I thought I was hearing things cause I know she not crying right now. Then she did it again "she never cries" I thought to myself. "Baby, baby come here. There's no need to cry it's just food" I said as I grabbed her by her waist.
"Yes it is! All I wanted to do was make you a nice dinner and spend time with you. I can't do anything right" she said as tears streamed down her face.
"Baby it's okay. You didn't do anything wrong, you were just tired and fell asleep that's all." I hugged her and kissed her to calm her down.
"But now I'm hungry."
I chuckled and said "how bout we order some Chinese and stay in tonight, have some me and you time."
"Okay"
"Go lay down and I'll wake you up when the food gets here."
"I love you."
"I love you too, now go upstairs and stop giving your peanut shaped head self a headache."
"Shut up" she chuckled and went upstairs.

After I ordered the food I went to bathroom. When I walked in I saw Taraji's phone underneath the sink, when I reached down to pick it up I knocked over the tiny trashcan. "great" I thought to myself. As I started to pick up the trash I found a receipt from CVS that was from today. My eyes grew big as I read what was on the receipt. "My baby having a baby." I said quietly in shock to myself.
