Rita POV

I looked at my ring. Then smiled. I can't believe Chris and I are finally getting married. I mean, it's nothing different than before. We're just getting married.

Chris rolled over and let out a soft breath. I smiled and played with in his hair. His eyes fluttered opened. He smiled. "Good morning my, fiance." he said.

"Good morning handsome." he kissed my cheek.

"What you doing today?" he sat up.

"Uh, got a doctor's appointment." I said picking up my phone and checking the time. I saw I got a couple of messages.

"You weren't going to invite me along."
"Boy, you were going to take me." he smiled and laughed.

"I love how you take advantage of me." he kissed me.

"I know. I love you too, lovebug."

He got out the bed and walked to the bathroom. I looked through my messages. One from my brother. One from my sister. One from my mother. A couple from Chris's mother. And a couple from Chris. I looked over at the bathroom door. Chris stood there holding his toothbrush in his mouth.

"You wanna take the kids with us." he said with a whole lot of toothpaste in his mouth.
"I mean, who's gonna watch them." I said.

"True." he mumbled. I looked at messages that Chris sent me.

I got to poop.

I love you.

Is there food in the house?

I laughed at how weird Chris was. "Chris?" I asked walking into the bathroom. He looked at me after spitting out toothpaste.

"Yeah."

"What the hell is this?" I asked. I showed him the messages. He laughed and rinsed out his mouth.

"I had went to Trey's house and I guess you texted me after I went to bathroom or whatever. And he texted you. He could've also unlocked my phone. The passcode is Ro's birthday."

"Why were you at Trey's? And when did you go to Trey's?"

"Last night. And because I wanted to hang out with my friend."
"But, you just proposed to me." I said. He looked at me.

"Ok, Rita. Was I supposed to stay with you or something?" he grabbed the shaving cream and started shaking it.

"Uh, yes." I watched him rub it on his face. I handed him a razor.

"Rita, the world doesn't revolve around you." I looked at him.

"I never said the world revolves around me, Chris. I just wanted you to be around me. We just got engaged." He turned and looked at me. He grabbed my hand and looked into my eyes.

"Rita, I'm going to be with you all day today. I was around you all day yesterday. I spent 3 hours with my best friend." he smiled. "You are my world. I just wanted some time to spend with other people. I'm with you more than I'm with my kids. I'm with you more than I'm with my songwriters. But there are times when I need time to be with other people. OK. Nothing against you, I just, need time. I promise I won't leave because I don't love you. It's for the both of us."

"Ok."
"Now get the kids ready. Alright?"

"Alright." I started to walk away. Then Chris called me.

"I love you, my little Margarita." I smiled and shook my head.

"I love you too my Christopher Robin." I got the kids up and got them in the tub and they got dressed.

Once I was finished with them, I sent them downstairs with Mijo and they ate. I went back in the room and picked out my clothes.

"Rita, what are you doing?" Chris asked walking the closet after me.

"Finding clothes."

"Hurry up."

"Don't rush me. The doctor's appointment is at 11."

"It's almost 10." I turned and looked at him.

"Are you serious?"

"Yes." I grabbed one of the sun dresses I have and ran out the closet. I hurried into the bathroom and brushed my teeth and took a shower. Then got out and got dressed.

Once I was finished, I started to feel queasy. Chris looked at me.

"You good?"

"No." I said. He handing me a water bottle and some crackers. "Where did you get that from?"

"Does it matter?"

"Yes." he laughed and opened the bottle of water and took a sip.

"It's good. I promise." I stared at him out the corner out of my eye. "Drink some so you and my child are good." I rolled my eyes and took the bottle of water and drank some of it. "Eat some crackers." I stuck out my tongue. Then ate some.

"These are dry."
"That's why you got a water bottle." he said. His phone lit up and he looked down then back at me. "You sent all 3 kids down with Mijo?" he asked.

"Yeah. Why?"

"He got his kids with him too." he stood up and grabbed my hand. We walked downstairs and I watched as little Chris threw a bottle at Ro. Ro and Kayla looked at each other and smiled. They ran over to him and attacked him. I looked over at Mijo's kids. Who, were fighting as well. But Mijo were trying to stop them and wasn't even paying attention to our kids. I looked at Chris. His jaw was clenched shut.

"Royalty, Kayla, and Chris Mother fucking Brown." all the kids looked our way. Then Mijo's kids stopped what they were doing. Chris closed his eyes and then sighed.

"Let's go." Mijo said. He grabbed his kids hands and then walked away. I looked at our kids. They never really got in trouble before.

"Uh, come on, y'all. We need to go to a doctor's appointment." I said. I picked up Chris. And then held Ro's and Kayla's hands. We walked to the car and everybody got in. I strapped little Chris up. Then got in the passenger seat. Chris got in the drivers seat.

"All these fucking kids in the house, I'mma go crazy." Chris mumbled. I smiled and touched his ear. He looked at me confused.

"You got me."

"You make me go crazy too." he said. He smiled. "But in a good way." I smiled and kissed him.

"Eww." the kids all said. I laughed.

"Let's go." Chris said looking in the rearview mirror. 

Happy Belated Birthday to Bae. Christopher Maurice Brown.
