"Good morning." I smile at the Johnson's baby. He's been up the whole time which rarely happens. His mommy is going to be excited to hear she's getting a couple of hours of rest after feeding. I unlock the wheels on his cart and begin to cautiously roll him out the nursery. People stopped and smiled as usual as we approached her room. Placing the normal three knocks I opened the door being greeted by two friendly smiles.
"Good morning." I smile rolling in their gift." Are you Breast feeding ?" I ask and she nodded making me chuckle to myself. They always think so and only a hand full go through with it. I rolled him over to the bed side while dad went to the other.
"So what do I do ?" She asked with a laugh as I handed him to her. I watched as the pale colored baby struggled to open his eyes trying to see his mommy.
"Look t." Dad says excited to see the milestone being accomplished so quickly. Sometimes it takes a baby a couple of weeks at the most to open their eyes fully.
"Oh my god." She mumbled to her self making my heart flutter.
"This must be the first baby ?" I ask noticing the big ring on her finger. She nodded with her eyes getting filled with tears. This is what I love most about my job. The beautiful babies and happy moments like this."okay mommy, baby boy about to starve." I joke making them laugh as he kissed her forehead. I explained to her the procedure and she followed it like a pro which surprised me. I gave them privacy going back to the other babies and doing what I get paid to do.
At lunch I decided to be a fat ass and go to rib man which is across town in the hood which is whole different city. I have a two hour break better to waste time then be there all day. When I got there everyone smiled seeing my car knowing it was me. I got excited seeing he got the new grill he been wanting.
"Hey Ant you got your grill !" I say and he put his spatula down going to the other side to hug me.
"Yeah I did my mans king hooked me up." He says and my ears perked up." I ain't seen you in weeks you getting too Hollywood ?" He asked making me laugh. He's exaggerating I seen him four days ago.
"No I work for two days straight sometimes ant. I'm busy." I laughed. He hugged me again kissing my cheek. Ant is the father figure in my life, he has been since my mom died." Your cousin in there." He nods going back to the grill handing people plates.
I rush inside making jc holler across the whole building making everyone laugh since they knew the two of us." Crack rock !" He yelled with both arms in the air making me roll my eyes.
"Shut up ugly ass." I laugh meeting him half way for a hug. Jc isn't my real cousin he's ants son but being we've been best friends since we were four we might as well be siblings.
He's into the whole drug dealing and killing, which I have no bitter feelings against. I just wish he was around more.
"I miss you girl. I'm coming to move in." He says making me turn my face up.
"If anything I moving with you. That house is big and beautiful." I laugh following him to the back where we usually go away from everyone else.
"You a buck. I ain't been home lately it's lonely as hell." He admits making me nod.
"I got a roommate." I tell him. He scrunched his face up ready to curse me out probably assuming it's a man." It's a girl and her son nigga cool out." I tell him waving my hand.
"Oh I was about to say." He says mushing my head." I heard King was at your crib." He tells me making me nod.
"Yeah ? Why haven't I heard of this King before ?" I ask being everyone knows him but me.
