Danielle POV
It's been 7 months and August haven't been showing me the love and the attention like he used to. When my belly was starting to get big, that's when he stop showing me the love and affection. He don't hug me anymore, he don't kiss me anymore, he even don't rub my feet. I think that he is sleeping with someone else. If I'm not getting the attention, I wonder who's getting it. I'm gonna get to the bottom of it. Speaking of August, he just walked through the door.

Aubrey:" Daddy!!!!"

August:" Hey baby girl. Was you good today??"

Aubrey:" Yes daddy."

He put her down and I guess she went to her play room. He grabbed the remote to the tv and started watching it. It's time to talk.

Me:" August I need to talk to you."

August:" About what."

Me:" Us."

August:" What about us."

Me:" You not showing me that love and affection anymore. You don't hug me, kiss me, rub my stomach, and rub my feet. You don't even compliment me. I'm your wife and I don't feel appreciated anymore. What's going on and I need to know."

August:" Nothing's going on Danni damn."

Me:" Well something is going on if you stop treating me like a wife. You treat me like shit now like I'm some hoe off the street."

Right now we were at each other throats arguing. Aubrey came hooked on to my leg crying.

Me:" August, idk if I can put up with this arguing anymore."

I put my shoes on and put Aubrey shoes on I grabbed my purse, phone, and keys and got Aubrey and we left. I pulled up to August mom house and got out. I went got Aubrey and I went on the door step. I rung the door bell and she came to the door.

5 hours later...................................................

Me:" Thanks for cheering me up momma. I really don't know what's going on with your son. He never acted like this towards me. I feel unappreciated now."

Sheila:" I don't know either what's wrong with my poor child. But you get home to them other kids. Ok. I love you girl."

Me:" I love you too momma."

I went got a sleeping Aubrey and left and went home. When I got home, the kids was at the table doing their homework. I went laid Aubrey down and turned on her baby monitor then left and went back downstairs to get dinner started.

Me:" Keilani, Amari, and Aj. What do y'all want for dinner."

Kids:" fish and Mac and cheese and potatoes."

Me:" ok. When y'all get finished with homework, go upstairs and take y'all bath for dinner."

Kids:" ok."

They went upstairs and I got dinner ready. While I was cooking, I heard the door opened and close. It was August. He came in the kitchen with flowers and a gift bag.

August:" Danni can I talk to you."

Me:" Sure."

I turned the pots on low and gave him my full attention.

Me:" Talk."

August:" I apologize baby. I'm just stressing. I didn't mean the things that I said to you. Baby, the record label had dropped me man. I'm not with def jams anymore. I've been stressing. I don't have a job anymore baby. How are we go survive. I'm just stressing. I'm sorry that I don't give you that attention anymore. Please forgive baby. Her your gifts that I brought you."

Me:" Thanks baby."

I looked through the bag and seen that he got me all of my favorite snacks. He brought me some roses and a huge teddy bear. He even brought something for the baby. Oh and we having a boy. His name are gonna be Anthony Aiden Alsina. He went put the stuff up for me while I continued cooking dinner. After I got done, I fixed everybody else food and went sat it on the table. I called everyone to the table. We said grace then ate. After we ate, I fixed Aubrey a lil plate and fed her since she woke up. I put her plate up and went got in the bed with her. We watched tv til she fell asleep. August got out the shower and got in bed.

August:" Babe, you ok."

That's when I started crying. He took Aubrey from me and went put her in her bed and came back and got in bed. He climbed behind me and hugged me from behind.

August:" Tell me what's wrong baby."

Me:" How are we go survive August. The check that I get ain't go do nothing."

August:" Babe stop worrying, ima find something I promise. I always wanted to own my own store. You know I got my clothing line and you got your clothing line. We can selling it. How about this babe."
