Can't Have It All

Meanie

Kenya POV-

"Good morning baby." I kissed O who was making a green drink. Well two.

He handed me one.

"I don't like that O."

"I don't care. You got to change your diet for the baby. That has everything you need in it." He drank some of his. "We don't want the baby getting spina bifda from lack of nutrients."

"It's nasty."

"Nasty now. Healthy baby later." He drank the rest of his in one long gulp.

😷😷😷

"Whats spina bifda?" I asked him sitting at the counter eyeing this green drink. Thinking of plans to
Throw it away without him knowing.

"A preventable birth defect in which a developing baby's spinal cord fails to develop properly. Most babies get it simply because the mom doesn't get enough nutrients." He rinsed out his glass.

"Drink that K." He looked at me.

I sighed and eyed the glass. I smelled it and I wanted to vomit.

"Isn't there just some pills I can take?" I whined.

"No. You get more benefit from the raw vegetables over some supplements. The only supplements you need is your pre-natal vitamins I got, that you need to
Take after you drink the drink." He got the vitamins and put them in front of me.

I did a little taste of the drink. And I just couldn't.

"Kenya it's not that bad. You thinking negative about it, that's why it's tasting bad."

"It's just nasty O."

He took the green drink back. Poured it into the blinder, this time he chopped up some banana and added some strawberries.

He poured it back out and handed it to me.

"This sweetens it."

I sighed and looked at it.

He stared at me with my arms folded like a parent demanding their child to
Eat their vegetables before they could leave the table.

I closed my eyes. Held my nose and gulped the junk juice down.

He took the glass. "See it wasn't that bad."

"It was." I scrunched my entire face, tasting the nasty after taste.

He handed me a glass of water. "Take your pre-natal vitamins."

I took the glass and took my vitamins.

"Imma cook all the meals from now on. When I'm gone, I'll just prep them ahead of time. It's important you eat only what I set out. They will be foods good for the baby."

He went to the pantry and started throwing out all our junk food.

"Nooooooo O. I'm not even a full two months."

"Earlier your diet is on track
The better."

"Not the gummies. Please not the gummies." I struggled for the box in his hand. "See it says made with real fruit." I showed him.

He gave them to me.

But everything else he threw out. My flaming hots. Krispy Creme donuts. Anything with flavor trashed.

"Odell all types of women eat junk while their pregnant and have a healthy baby." I whined.

"You not them. You mine and that's my baby." He said continuing to empty the pantry.

"Don't you think this is a little overboard?"

"No. When your body is put in different situations you have to adjust. Just like me for the season. Off season, you know how I eat. But when I'm preparing for the season, I have to do what I have to do. Same with the baby." He said still throwing stuff out.

I sat at the counter with my chin on my hands and head down watching him, with the saddest face I could make. Hoping he would change his mind, but he wasn't budging.

"I also talked to Bria. I told her before she sets a schedule she needs to run it by me." He was talking about my assistant.

"Odell. This is ridiculous." I rubbed my head like I had a headache. "Your mother trained for freaking track while she was pregnant with you."

"She was 19 and didn't know any better." He closed the pantry and tied the huge garbage bag full of everything tasty.

"I'm filing a complaint with the better future father's bureau. You're a meanie." I pouted like a little kid as he took the bag out to the garbage.

I went to look at the pantry everything was mainly gone except Oatmeal and stuff like that.

I looked in the fridge it was stacked with already prepped meals. I picked one up. The label
Read Kale salad-Lunch. Olive oil no dressing. I hate Kale. Save me guys from the baby dictator.

He came back in and washed his hands.

He handed me a stack of books.

"Read these. It's parenting and mother stuff. I got a few to take on the road. See you after practice." He kissed my lips. Grabbed his practice bag and left.

I can already tell now this was going to be a long pregnancy. Hurry up and come chocolate princess so mommy can eat food that actually taste good again.

I can't see the game today guys so keep me updated on how well O does and whether or not he beats Josh Norman ass lol. Hopefully he gets back in his grove today. All eyes are on him 😩🙏🏿
