Anthony's Pov:

April 30th -- today is that day, the day that my baby reaches the 16 week mark. The importance of this day means I will finally be able to feel my litter Miller movements.

"Anthony how long are you going to be out?" Rob asked looking at me.

"Don't know yet. Shit I'll still come and see y'all when I can but shit my girl and baybeh is more important to me then this job. Plus with Jaya in charge y'all should be just fine. If y'all need a dope ass tattoo y'all know where to find me." I said looking at him.

Ion even know why this nigga acting like I'm leaving now. I let Temperance talk me into working until she 18 weeks.

"I just can't believe it man. You ready to be a dad like thinking back to when I first started working here man." He said shaking his head.

All I could to was shake me head as well cause knowing how a nigga thought in his early twenties will just make you shake your head.

"What y'all in here talking about?" Jaya said sitting on the couch in my office.

After she sat down, she looked at me and then jumped.

"You and Temperance had sex on this couch?" She asked looking at me causing Rob to laugh before he walked out the room.

Jaya came and sat in the chair across for me and just looked at me.

"Why leave me in charge Ant?"

"Cause I trust you, don't get me wrong I trust almost everybody in the shop but I trust you the most Jay and I know no matter what you will always make sure the shop is okay and you know how to separate business from pleasure and you gone make sure the shop is good and you not ruin what I built."

You know I'm an ugly crier." She said wiping tear that started to fall.

"Something you wanna tell me?" I asked as she wiped her tears away.

"No, I'm not pregnant. Temperance is just rubbing off on me. " She said shaking her head.

"Don't blame my baybeh to hide the fact you might be pregnant." I said causing her to laugh.

"Ain't nobody blaming her but how does she feel about you coming out of work."

"She not feeling it but she starting to understand."

"I think it's a good thing you doing. I know I cried like a baby when I found out I missed my baby first word and steps." She said

"And with my baybeh health condition I just don't want to miss anything, plus I just want to be there."

"I get you but just try not to get on Tempy too much."

"What you mean?"

"Anthony she pregnant and she gone be all over the place."

"Okay and..." I stopped waiting for her to go into more detail.

"She gone do shit that's gone piss you off but just remember she pregnant."

"Trust me Jay I already master how to control my anger when it comes to Temperance pregnant ass. She been aggy for the last few weeks." I said shaking my head.

"Don't tell her that either."

"Jay this ain't my first time dealing with a pregnant woman. I know how y'all be with the emotions and shit."

"You ain't slick sliding that y'all in there. But naw for real Ant you might have dealt with pregnant women before but this is different this is your wife, she lives with you which mean you gone experience everything first hand. It not gone be like hearing D, Sid, and/or Zane tell you stories about how me, Lele, and Sandy acted during our pregnancies."
