Anthony's Pov:

The concert was great last night and a nigga proud that after all this shit that's been happening, I could still make her the happiest wife possible.

"So I was thinking and I thought maybe you should give me your vows now. You know." Temperance said sitting up in the bed.

It's midnight and this woman won't go to sleep. She been restless for a few weeks now but tonight is just so different. She normally falls asleep before one or two but shit is 12:59am and she acting like she just woke up.

"Is the baybeh keeping you up?" I asked turned my back toward her.

I'm sleepy as hell and I need rest unlike her ass.

"So I was think mayb..."

"Go to sleep." I said looking over my shoulder at her. "I love you to death but I'm not doing this tonight." I said turning to look at her.

She nodded her head and then laid on her left side. I can tell I hurt her feeling but shit it's 1:30 in the morning and we got a doctor's appointment with Dr. Coles at 7.

I wrapped my arm around her and then started dosing off. I was almost out cold until I felt her slide out the bed. I opened my eyes and watch as a walked into the bathroom. I heard water getting ran in the tub which made me sit up. I waited a the water turned off and then walked into the bathroom. I grabbed the little bench that sat beside the sink.

"Why you so restless? It's almost 3 in morning." I said sitting down on the bench that I sat near the tub.

"I don't know." She said leaning back in her bubble bath.

I sighed and then just looked at her.

"You have to be up at 6 Temperance, why you not even trying to get some sleep?" I asked running my hand down my face.

"I'm not sleepy Ant. I don't know why I'm not sleepy but I'm just not. You can go to sleepy but I'm not sleepy." She said lowly while avoiding my eyes.

"I hurt your feelings earlier?"

I don't be tryna hurt her feelings, shit the stuff I do shouldn't hurt her feelings but I guess it does because I'm not talking to regular Temperance but I'm talking to pregnant Temperance. Whom hormones have been everywhere and so had her emotions, she doesn't cry as much as she did in her first trimester but her feelings are easily hurt now and she is easily angered.

"I just don't get Anthony, you know I be having restless night. So I don't get why you got so annoyed with me, this isn't the first time I stayed up pass 11." She said looking at me with confusion all over her face.

"My body got use to having a full 8 hours of sleep baybeh. I can't function off of 4 or less hours of sleep anymore. That's why I got annoyed with you, you know we have to be up at 6 yet your not even trying to make yourself go to sleep." I said trying not to let the annoyance be heard in my voice.

I'm not gone lie she has been very annoying these pass few days but I get it had a lot to do with the pregnancy but that shit don't change the fact that it irritate me.

"I'm sorry." She said looking up at me.

Do she know how to make a nigga feel like shit? Yes.

"Baybeh don't do this. Not now."

"What do you want me to do Ant. I'm trying everything I possibly can to make myself sleepy. I can't force myself to sleep cause then I'll have a nightmare, you know this already."
