A Place To Call Home

6:25 AM

I heard small, faint cry's in my sleep. I turned over with my eyes still closed still hearing the cries.

I slowly opened my eyes to realize it was little Royalty crying. I removed the covers from over me and walked over to Royalty and picked her up.

She wasn't really crying , she was whining 😒

I put her down to mix her formula that Asia put in the bag. The doctors had small bottles provided until I went home.

Most say breast feed but I'm scared of that. I don't know why though.

She started whining again while I was mixing it.

" Hold on, mommy coming " I whispered to her

I put the bottle in the heater thing they put in here for her bottles and let it get warm.

I put a little on my arm to make sure it wasn't too hot and I picked up Royalty and went to lay back down, getting her bottle.

After she finished the bottle, I put it on the side of the bed and laid her on her stomach, onto my chest and patted her back until she burped.

She laid on my chest, silently. I looked down at her and she was now sleeping softly.

I looked over to Chris who was knocked out in the bed they rolled in here.

Slowly after, I myself dozed off too.

I heard a few voices in my sleep. I turned onto my side then remembered that Royalty was last sleep on my chest. I jumped up with my eyes big to see that Royalty wasn't on me.

" Oh, There go my other baby. " I heard Chris say.

I looked over to Chris. He was holding Royalty and talking to Asia and My mom.

" How you feel ? " my mom asked

" I'm so tired mom. "

" Yeah, I know you worn out. I know you were sweating bullets when you were pushing. I remember when I had you, I damn near died "

" Yeah, that's what I was worried about. "

" My hand still hurt " Chris said , walking towards me

" I'm sorry " I laughed

" Man, you was squeezing my hand with all the strength in you "

My mom started laughing.

" Well I spent some time with my grand baby and seen my daughter, now I got to head to my lunch date with my new boo. "

" How many new boo's you got ? "

" One. Thats his name for you because you don't know him yet "

" When will I meet him anyway ? "

" When I'm ready for you to " she said , kissing my forehead and patting my leg.

" He probably ugly " I joked

" Nooo, he Chris Brown fine "

I couldn't help but laugh as well as Asia and Chris

" Okay, see you later mom. Love you "

" I love y'all too " she said grabbing her purse and heading out

Asia was now walking around with Royalty

" You need anything ? " Chris asked, coming to sit next to me

" No. I'm fine. What about you? "
