Everyone was eager to see Titan. We had at least fifty people waiting out in the waiting lobby and many more after that yesterday. It was overwhelming but to say the least I wanted to be surrounded by my family and friends. The girls couldn't stop fighting over who was next to hold TJ, it was quit amusing. Gabby didn't forget to rub it in my face that I had a boy. I missed my friends they kept my mind away from how awkward everything was lastnight. They were coming back later today to visit.

The corner of the room was filled with teddy bears and balloons as if we needed more stuff. Little Titan was already spoiled.

Word was out that I had the baby which sent the internet in a frenzy. I didn't want to leak any pictures of TJ just yet. Essence wanted to feature him along with Terrence and I in a 6 page spread next week. No one knew about our break up, only our close friends. I didn't want everybody in our business.

My father came by, he was so excited to meet his grandson. Once he held Titan I saw a change in his eyes. That loving man he used to be instead of this stern uptight man he usually was. The way he interacted with everyone yesterday was so welcoming with his contagious laughter and his crazy stories he told about me as a baby.

Terrence was so stand offish and acted weird the whole time. After the delivery it was as if he shut himself out, we hadn't said two words to eachother and didn't have any alone time. He stayed out of the way on the couch with Q while everyone else engaged in my father's story. I would catch his stare from time to time, he would shyly look away.I knew he still felt uneasy around my father, he barely wanted him to hold TJ.

11:32am

I sat up in the bed nursing my son, I felt like breastfeeding was the best method for an infant.

His little jaws went to work. He caught on quick, some mothers find it hard to breastfeed but Titan was ready to go, he gets that from his dad.

"Who's the cutest baby in the world? That's right you are Titan...ooh mommy is going to have to keep the girls off of you. Your daddy may be stupid but one thing he did right was give me you TJ, my handsome little man."I coo'd down to him.

Titan giggled while making little grunts. "Mommy crazy? yeah I know TJ; Mommy knows."I chuckled dapping the drool spilling down his chin.

My eyes shifted over to Terrence sleeping. He snored lightly on the couch. His chest rose and fell slowly, his arm laid across his chest along with TJ blanket. He fell asleep on his dad's chest before I got up to put him in his crib. Terrence stayed all night after everyone left. He insisted on letting me rest while he took care of TJ. I made sure I had pumped enough breast milk for them before I tapped completely out.
