Not your typical Love (NYTT Sequel)

"If she yo baby momma, she gon do that Baby momma. Drop it down, drop it down down low" Karma did the baby momma dance as the music blasted loudly.

She was busy cooking dinner. It'd been awhile since she'd felt so lively and full of energy. She felt like herself instead of the usual depressed and anxious self.

Once the food was done, she made a plate for herself, Kacy and Moesha and set them at the table. "Foods done" she called.

Kacy was the first down stairs and he started to do the baby momma dance with Karma. She laughed loudly and kissed his lips "Drop it down, drop it down down low" he sang as he went lower.

"Oh, yes baby. Go, go, go" she cheered him on. He laughed and stood up "I made you steak, like you wanted"

"Thanks mama"

Moesha soon came down stairs, her beads hitting and bouncing against each other as she sat in the chair across from Kacy. " you like ya hair, Momo?"

She nodded "Hey, I want steak like you Kace"

"Big boys eat steak" he stuck his tongue out at her. "But you can have a little piece"

"Because I'm a little girl?" She asked. He nodded and cut off a small piece for her, feeding it to her. "It's good. You want some Mac and cheese?"

He nodded "A big piece because I'm a big boy"

"Nooo" she laughed "You give me small piece so I give you small piece"

"Iight, that's fair"

Karma walked back with cups in her hand and filled them all up with juice. She sat down beside Kacy and he rubbed her leg under the table.

"So you ready for school tomorrow Mo?"

She nodded as a smile spread across her face "I can't wait to meet new friends"

"That's good baby. But what I said, if somebody put they hands on you"

"Beat they Uranus"

Karma slapped Kacy's chest and laughed "You tell the teacher "

"Kacy said you'd say that" she mumbled.

"Hm, he did?" Karma looked over at him as he looked at his plate, avoiding his stare "What else he told you?"

He cleared his throat "That you pretty and smart"

"So y'all got a secret code now? Mo, I thought I was your favorite"

"You are, and Kace"

As the night went on, Kacy and Karma ended up in the bedroom. They both had showered and were now laying in bed, together. Karma laid on his chest, playing with his fingers while he rubbed her stomach.

"Kacy, I've been taking these pills. Antidepressants. It was awhile where I was feeling unhappy and having these suicidal thoughts where I'd kill myself and the baby, so I went to the doctors. She prescribed them and I've been taking them for almost 2 weeks"

"And are you feeling better now? Ya still having those thoughts?"

"No, things are better. I think after that break down I had awhile back and the idea of a baby, things just started to take a toll on me"

"How ya feel about us having a baby? "

She shrugged "I'm happy and want everything that's best for our baby. I feel like we'll be great parents and would give our child everything they want and need. It's gonna be hard at first but once we get the hang of it, things will be great. " she smiled but then her smile fell "Only if our child makes it"

Tears started to fill her eyes as her hand went to her belly. Kacy laid there and just listened as she vented "Like, I wish my mom would've told me what she did, earlier. Maybe I could've done something to help our baby make it. She doesn't deserve to die before getting the chance to see life, she did nothing wrong. Ya know?"

"I unda'stand baby"

"Then how are you so calm about all this?" She turned and looked at him "I feel like I've been going through all these emotions alone and have nobody to lean on Kacy. Like you're here but you're not here" she pointed to her head, signaling she meant mentally "Or here" she pointed to her heart, meaning she meant emotionally "I'm alone Kace"

"You're not alone baby, I promise that" he sat up and looked at her "I'm here for you through all this. I might not be feeling exactly how ya feeling but I am scared mama, I'm scared that our baby won't make it. But what good will it do if we both scared? Ya need someone to be there for you and that's me. Can't work like that if we both feeling the same, I just been keeping mine under wraps for you"

"B-"

"I'm not done. I've always been here for you mentally and emotionally. Ya know I'm here for you baby, don't say I'm not" She shook her head "Ya believe me?"

She nodded "yes, I do"

"Then quit doubting what we got" He laid back down and gently pulled Karma back down. He grabbed her chin and kissed her passionately "I love you Karma"

"I love you too, Kacy"

He kissed her temple "How long ya needa take them pills?"

"Until I stop feeling how I was before. But I take a pill every day, with a meal"

"How ya know if you still feel the same without the pills, if ya still taking them?" He chuckled.

She shrugged and smiled "Whatever Kace"

"Just saying. Anyway, at that appointment tomorrow, I'm talking to the doctor about these pills"

"What you gonna say?"

"Just ask if it affects the baby in anyway"

"I wouldn't be taking them if they did"

"Ya right baby" the room got silent "1 month, 2 month, 3 month, 4. It's ya baby momma when I step through the door. If she ya baby momma, she gon be that Baby momma. "

Karma laughed "Goodnight baby"

"Night love"
