I sit on the bench and wait for London. "Ahh, there's my other baby!" I hear London's cute voice ring out. She looked in my eyes and planted a passionate kiss that lingered on my lips for a while. "I missed you." I smiled. "Aww boo boo I missed you more." "Impossible." I kissed her cheek.
I stood up and she looked up at me, "someone had a growth spurt."
"..Yea."
"Wanna push me gently on the swings baby?" London smiled, showing her deep left dimple.
"Ight, anything for you Lo."
She sat on the swings and I slowly started to push her. "I can't wait for Jada." I smiled.
"Me too babe. I have to get my things out my mom's house by tomorrow. I don't know what to do, we have to pay for things, like rent. I need to get a job." She stated.
"No your not. You will stay home, I already got money, and I know how to get more. You just stay home, I gotchu baby." I continued pushing her softly, "and I'm coming over tonight. With all my stuff."
"Okay lovey." She shifted off the swing and sat on the bench. "ooh! Jada! Stop kicking mommy." She rubbed her stomach. I placed my hands on her hand and felt for the kicking. "She really is kicking. Jada stop hurting ma." Then kicking stopped. "Baby, I want to go home, I will drive to pick you up at 1 o'clock tomorrow. Bring all your stuff too. Okay?" She kissed me. We walked for awhile then she entered her house. "I love you baby. I don't want you to leave." She pouted. "I'll sneak upstairs through the window, wait your mom is at work right?"
"Yea. So, just come in from here." She pulled my hand inside and we walked upstairs.
London
My feet were aching like hell. I laid down next to my baby and he wrapped his arms around me. "I love you." Zyale whispered. I puckered out my lips and he pecked them. "I cant wait till we live together, and Jada's here. Everything would, come together...I hope." I mumbled. "It will."
"Okay baby," I kissed him one last time. "I'm sleepy, see you in the morning."
"Ight boo." He kissed me and we drifted off to sleep, in each others arms...
Beep. Beep. Beep.
I woke up to the loud ringing alarm. "Morning --" My mother bursted through the doors. Zyale woke up and greeted her. "Hi Mrs.Nicoles. London wasn't feeling well so I just wanted to make sure she was okay."
"...Pshh, okay. Save it. I saw you snuggled up with eachother." My mother pushed pass him. "Get your stuff, I already put furniture and everything in the condo. When Jade or Jada, whatever, is all settled I would watch her, but Abuela offered, so call her. Bye!"
My mom left in a joyful manner. "Thanks." I grabbed all my bags that were already packed, and handed them to Zyale, "Baby, take these please I'ma grab the rest." He nodded with a clenched jaw. I think he's mad... We packed everything and got into the car. Zyale was driving. "Honey, are you okay?" I asked looking at him. "Yea." He answered in a hushed tone. We pulled up outside the white and gold complex. "Dang." Zyale muttered.
We went inside and it was amazing, the baby even had space for her own room. "This is great!" I smiled. We grabbed the rest of the bags from the trunk and put everything in it's rightful place.
3 hours later
"Wow, it really came together. I'm going to make dinner baby." I exhaled. "Okay boo, I will start Jada's room." He got up and headed into her room, I got the pots and filled it with hot water. I walked and opened the curtains which hid a huge, thick glass sliding door. I slid open the door for fresh air, and man, did it feel good. The condo was amazing: 4 rooms, 1 and a half bath, the kitchen had an island in the middle, the living room was a big open space that was sunlit because of the big widow that led out to the deck. All and all, my mom picked it well.
I finished dinner which was mashed potatoes, fried chicken, and mac and cheese. My baby's favorite. "Zy, the food is ready." I sat down at the island table. The white walls all over the condo giving an open feel, "Ight, coming. Just finishing up the Jada's crib." "Okay love."
He came out the room and sat down, "Thanks baby, it looks good." I nodded and smiled. We finished up eating and he placed his plate in the sink. "I'm going to shower." Zyale said giving me a kiss on my head. "Okay." I went into my room and laid down, how will we pay for all this? How much longer could we keep this good life up?
