Love Me Tomorrow

Chapter 22

TREY:

       The bright sun entered the room, waking me up from my slumber. It's been about a month since the NBA Draft in June. Los Angeles really lives up to its hype, I love it out here. Keira was beside me sleeping. Her belly is getting larger by the day, and I'm happy to be witnessing these things.

         "Good morning, baby." I said kissing Keira's belly. I felt a little poke from Keira's stomach. Guess my daughter is trying to say hello. "She loves hearing your voice." Keira stated and she let out a yawn. "Thanks for being here in L.A with me." "I had to come, I just can't stay in Chicago." Keira's family drama is getting worse by the day. Seth is acting suspicious and Monaé is just so excited about something, and Ken keeps talking about how he doesn't want Keira with me. "Seth's coming down to L.A, and Monaé is coming with him." Keira said as she walked into the bathroom. I followed her there.

          "You happy to see Seth?" I asked. She just doesn't get so gleeked like before when she said Seth's name. "Not really, cause she's with him." Keira sighed.  Her long bangs covered her eyes and she placed her hands on her belly. "Our daughter is coming soon." I said trying to change the subject. "Yeah, she really is. What are we going to name her?" "I thought we had a name?"

         That last sentence I said was the worst thing ever. Keira grew one of her nasty attitudes. "What the fuck, why do we keep going over this?" "Damn, I don't know, you seem to change the name ever 5 seconds." "If you were more active, I wouldn't be so damn decisive." I rolled my eyes. "She's going to have my last name." "Who said that? Maybe I want her to have my last name." I groaned. "Fuck this, I'm gonna go workout." I stormed out of the bathroom and grabbed my Nike bag and hurried out. I needed to get away.  I don't need this shit right now.

SETH:

        "It's so beautiful!" Another one of Monaé's aunt complimented her wedding ring. "My baby loves me." Monaé planted a kiss on my cheek. We were moving out of the condos, I found a nice mansion near the arena and training area. It was going to be my honeymoon home, hopefully the home I'll bring my first child home to. "Dad." I heard Braxton yell out my name. "Yeah bud?" I replied. "Which one's my room?" He pointed to the 2 doors.

                The mansion was a 5 bedroom home, so the boys could get their own room, I wanted to make a room for Keira's daughter, when she would come here in the near future, but I doubt that will happen. I need to tell Keira about the marriage. I would hate for her to learn through the media. "What's wrong, hunny?" Monaé asked as she was finishing placing one of the boxes in the kitchen. "I'm just nervous to tell Keira, about the marriage. I don't want her to feel left out." I replied. "But she won't. I want her to be included in a couple weeks. She's my little sister also too." "You know how Keira's been lately. I just hope she won't fret."  Truth is, I need my sister's support more than anyone else.

KEIRA:

          I pulled my t-shirt down my large belly. I'm already big, I hope I don't get any more bigger. I began practicing my smile in the mirror.  Smile when Monaé talks, Keira. Just smile whenever. Then Seth won't be mad and I won't get anymore stressed.  My stomach hurt once again. I hope nothing's wrong with my daughter, I mean she'll be here in 8 weeks. "I'm leaving." I announced to Trey who was glued to the tv. I rolled my eyes as he didn't respond, he just continued watching tv. "Asshole." I whispered.

            Seth sat at the table beside Monaé. She has a smile on her face as I came to the table. "Keira! It's so nice to see you, you look amazing." "Thanks." I sat down carefully as Seth looked up and into my eyes. "What's going on, Seth?" I asked. "You're not going to storm off will you?" He questioned. I raised an eyebrow. It took me 20 minutes to get my shoes on, what makes him think I will just run off?  "Just tell me what's up." I responded.

            "Well over a month ago, Monaé and I went off and got married." Seth revealed. This had to be some joke? "You're kidding right? You don't even know her!" I replied pissed off. "You don't know. You aren't even trying to get to know her." "I don't want you to end up divorced, Seth. I don't want to see you get hurt." "I won't hurt him." Monaé intervened. I held my tongue. I shouldn't say anything else. "I love your brother, Keira. He makes me so happy, and I love you and your family. I'm family, you're my family, I'm sorry but you're just going to have to accept it." Monaé preached. I could tell she loved my brother, and he loved her. Maybe it is true love, maybe this is right, maybe I was jealous cause I was losing my brother, but Seth was jealous when he lost me those times to Trey. I sighed, "I'm sorry, I really am. I just don't want to lose my brother." "You won't! I will be here until the end." Seth assured.

           I wiped the tear falling from my eyes and Monaé got up and embraced me. "Welcome to the family, I always wanted a sister." I whispered in her ear. "Thanks, I always wanted siblings." Monaé responded back in a whisper.   Maybe I was overreacting...
