Sienna
5 months pregnant



Samantha, can you cancel my appointments for the rest of the day, I have a doctors appointment. Please reschedule with my clients."

"Yes, Ms. Marshall. See you tomorrow."

I smiled, picked my purse up and locked up my office. When I got into my car I called Cairo. For the past couple of months he's actually been a great person to be around. He's still tryna get with me, but we're just not ready for all of that yet. I'm fine with just being friends. "Baby daddy, the appointments at four, be there on time, cause if your ass is still at the damn trap I will cut you." I said sternly.

"Chill Si, I'll be there. Today I get to see my little boy!" I knew this nigga was smiling.

"Nigga, we don't know if it's boy or not! I laughed.

"Well, I just know. Now get off the phone with me and focus on driving."

"You ain't nobody's daddy, but you right, you right." I laughed.

"Bye Sienna."

"Bye baby zaddyyyy." I laughed.

"Your ass took all damn day to get here." He smiled.

"Traffic was terrible. Don't act cute cause you were here first one time in you're life."

"Let me shine, always taking the spotlight off me, hating ass." He smirked.

"Boy ain't nobody hating on you, now take notes on how a nigga spose to shine." I said walking to the doctors desk to sign in. I was switching hard and everything.

I walked back and plopped in the seat next to his. "You call switching and shit shinin? Nigga you don't know how to shine like me." He laughed.

"Yea, yea, yo ass lucky I'm pregnant or I would've bent it over like a real nigga."

"You can bend it over for this real nigga." He said licking his plump lips. I swear my panties were now damp as hell! I might not like him, but damn he's one sexy ass man. Lawwdd.

I blushed. "Whatever boy."

"Ms. Marshall?" The nurse called out.

Cairo helped me up and we walked to the back where the rooms were. The nurse told me to lay down on the bed and told me the doctor would be in a bit.

"You nervous?" I asked Cairo.

"Nah, well a little." He shrugged.

"Why?"

"I don't know. Whenever I come with you, I get scared. Like what if he's losing oxygen or some shit."

"Don't say that Cai. He or she is healthy. You gotta be more positive man." I said.

"You right." He nodded.

"Ms. Marshall, how are you?" My doctor asked.

I smiled. "I'm good Dr. Phillips, just a little sore." I confessed.

"Well get daddy over here to give you a nice massage."

I blushed. "We'll see."

"Anyways, today's the day you get to see the sex. Do you guys want to or are you gonna wait?" She asked putting the gel on my now round belly.

I looked at Cairo to confirm, he nodded his head. "Yea, we wanna know."

"Ok, well let's check this baby out, shall we." She moved around the mouse looking thing and we heard the baby's heartbeat, Cairo's stupid self was making beats from our baby's heartbeat and I was too busy laughing at that fool.

"Well, looks like you're having a boy!" She smiled.

"Told you!" Cairo jumped up.

"Yup, he has all his body parts." She said showing us his little limbs.

"That's him?" Cairo asked pointing to his private.

Dr. Phillips laughed. "Yup that's all him."

"My boy got a stallion down there!" He smiled.

"Boy shut up!" I giggled.

"What?! Now you know he's a Graco kid! (That's Cairo's last name btw.)

"Mhm."

"Well, any last questions?" Dr. Phillips asked.

We both shook our head.

"Ok, well I'll see you all next month. Take care you guys." She smiled, exiting our room.

"You ready?" Cai asked when I was trying to button up my jeans.

"Help me." I pouted.

He smiled before getting on his knees to help button my pants. He kissed my growing belly and zipped them up.

"Thanks baby daddy." I smiled.

"Anything for my baby mama."

"Boy hush. I hate that name." I mugged him.

"Why you get to call me baby daddy but I can't call you baby mama?"

"Cause I don't like the name." I shrugged.

"Lemme guess, you wanted to be a wife before you got pregnant?" He asked.

"Yea pretty much, but shit happens."

"You still got time ma."

"Yea, you right and you still got time to be someone's hubby." I said grabbing my purse and walking out.

"Nah, not for me. I don't wanna get married anymore." He shrugged.

"Why?" I asked unlocking my car door.

"I don't know, just rather worry bout my money and my son."

"I feel that homie, you still coming with me to fill out the baby registry?"I asked.

"Yea, where you wanna go to first?" He asked getting in his car.

"Target."

"Iight, just lead the way baby mama." He smirked.

I flipped him off and drove off.

Once we were done getting registered, we bought a few things and went out to eat. I needed Cairo to help me with the bags so he followed me home.

"Damn Si, this ain't a few things, shit, you bought the whole damn store!"

"I just wanted to be prepared, that's all." I said innocently.

"Nah, what you wanted to do was leave me broke and buy the whole store like you ready to have sixtuplets or some shit." He laughed.

I pouted. "That's not funny jerk. My feet hurt." I whined.

"Sit down, lemme massage you're piggies."

"No! You just insulated my damn feet!"

"You want the massage or no baby mama?" He asked.

"No, now go blow up someone's trap house or something. Bye." I said walking into my room. I needed a shower and to relax. Today was too long.

After my relaxing shower I was hungry all over again and craving ice cream, which I have none of.

"Yo?" Cairo answered.

"I want ice cream."

"What's the magic word Sienna?"

"Please with cherries and sprinkles on top."

He laughed. "Strawberry cheesecake right?"

"You know me too well!" I said.

"Yea, yea, I'll be there in a minute."

"Hurry! I want my foot massage now". I whined.

"I'm comin girl, don't rush me boo boo, don't do it." He said in a ratchet girls voice.

I laughed. "Whatever bye."

"Took you long enough." I said trying to grab the bag.

"Now is that anyway to talk to your ice cream savior? The nigga that brought you your favorite dairy product? I'm shocked in your manners Sienna!"

"Cairo, give me the damn ice cream." I mugged standing on my tippy toes to get it.

"Nope, say sorry and I'll give you it."

"Sorry, damn!" I snarled.

"Now, was that so hard?" He smiled walking in.

"Yes, I almost died." I laughed.

"Yeah, whatever."

I got a spoon and took the tub of ice cream with me to the couch. Cairo was already sitting, so I just put my feet on his lap, and got comfortable.

"Massage please?" I pouted.

"The things I do for you." He sighed.

"You love me." I smiled and ate more of my ice cream.

"More than you'll ever know." He mumbled.

"Huh?"

"Nothin."

He massaged my feet and I was almost knocked out until I felt something in my stomach. Cairo stopped for a little and then it happened again after he started massaging again.

"Cairo, feel this." I said placing his hand on my stomach.

He was still massaging my feet. "What's going on wit lil man?" He asked.

"He's kickin." I teared up.
He stopped to come closer but then the baby stopped.

"Touch me." I said.
He looked at me weird for a minute, but started rubbing my stomach and the baby started going crazy!

"He knows who his daddy is." I smiled.

He smiled so hard I saw all 32 of his pearly whites. He kissed my stomach and looked into my eyes. For some reason I felt something so strong that I couldn't control it anymore. It was love. I hated to say it, but I think I'm falling for Cairo.



Heyy! Soo how was this chapter? Sienna may be falling for Cairo? The baby kicked! Cairo admitted to loving Sienna.

What y'all think might happen between them!
