***Crystal's POV***
The first thing I did when I woke up was check my phone. No new messages. I looked around and saw the girls in my bed, asleep.
After all the drama in my life, I finally smiled when I saw their peaceful faces.
The smile felt foreign. I don't remember the last time I REALLY smiled like this and felt my heart turn pure....yeah I do. That day when I saw Chris walk into the clinic.
I got up and did my morning routine, INCLUDING managing the nausea, tenderness, and puking, then called Brooke.
"Hey, Brooke? How long is Angela planning to stay?"
"She said that you said that she could stay for a full week. Do I need to get her?"
"No, no. I was just asking. It's good."
"Ok...well be safe! I'm excited to see my little nephew."
"*chuckling* I hope it's a boy, too......Bye."
I started breakfast and cleaning. I played soft music and lit some candles, too. I really need a life.
*Text*
Heather: Hey, girl. Feeling like going out?
Me: Alli and Angie can come?
Heather: Yeah. I have a 6 year old.
Me: Ok. 624 22nd Street Santa Monica.
Heather: We're on our way.
I went to wake the girls up.
"Get dressed and eat. We're going somewhere in a minute. Clean the toys up from yesterday...ALL of it."
I put on an oversized Last Kings black and gold t-shirt with light-washed denim shorts. I slipped on my black Addidas then made sure the girls were getting ready.
"Y'all are good? Need anything?"
Angela: "I need a swimsuit so I can swim."
"We might have to go get that tomorrow before I get groceries."
"Alli said that you're going to have a baby."
"Yeah."
"Is it a boy?"
"I don't know yet, but I want a boy. I have a girl already."
"Where's Alli Daddy?"
"Her uncle Aubrey? He's in Miami right now. He sings and rap."
Alli:"I TOLD YOU!"
Angie:"Nope. I still don't think so."
I wish I still had petty fights like that.

"Hey, Heather!"
"Hey, Crystal! You're house is beautiful!"
"It's not mines, but thanks."
"Who's house?"
"Drake's."
"Hot damn, girl! You're with the Canadian?!"
"I don't know about with, but yeah. This is his. And this is his, too." I was addressing Alliyah.
"Awww. She's adorable."
"Hey. I'm Alliyah."
"Hey, cutie. I'm Heather and this is my daughter Lillian. Say hey, Lilly."
We all got into Heather's new car...a Porsche.
"Where are we going?"
"Back to my place in South L.A. We're having a little get together and pool day for Trell's birthday. Do you have a suit?"
"Not on me."
"Ok. We can stop somewhere to get them."
Angela was excited because she wanted to swim anyway.
*******
We all got out the car and went inside their house. It's gorgeous and about the same size as mines....Aubrey's....ours? The girls and I changed in the bathroom.
.......
This house was PACKED! People were playing the X Box, crowding the kitchen, and surrounding the pool.
I made the girls go to the smaller pool because the adults were too grown right now.
"Hey, Crystal. This is my boyfriend Trell."
"Hey, Trell."
"Wassup."
"Hey, Crystal."
I turned around and saw Chris. I still had the same big ass smile I get when I see him.
"Hey."
"You're beautiful."
"Heather. Can you watch my kids real quick?"
"Sure. No problem."
I grabbed Chris's hand and walked inside to a bathroom.
"Chris, I said that we HAVE to quit talking."
His eyes were focused, switching from my lips to my eyes.
"Are you sure? Don't lie." He was serious. REALLY serious. "You're not leaving until you answer me."
I sat on the counter. "Well, we're gonna be here all damn day."
"I know what I'd do to you all day."
"Stop. Really. I'm not in that mood."
We were quiet and started to lean in a little bit to each other.
*Knock, Knock*
I hurried up to cover Chris's mouth and say,"I'm in here."
They walked off and I put my arm back down.
Chris started to kiss and suck on my neck when he got in-between my legs.
I didn't stop him. How could I?
