Author's POV:
A few months later, things seemed to be going well for Larry's and Laurent's relationships. However, they've been walking on eggshells due to Mya's unpredictable mood swings. The bond between Larry and Mya has grown stronger since he heard his unborn son's heart beat. Larry felt even closer to Mya due to the many nights he felt the baby move in her wound. One of the guest rooms was turned into a nursery for the baby.

(Larry's son nursery)
While Larry was packing up her duffle bag for an doctor's appointment, Laurent was downstairs; keeping Mya company. Mya was watching tv, snacking on a pint of French vanilla ice cream with bacon bits and drops of hot sauce. Every time Laurent tried to rub her stomach, Mya would quickly slap his hand away. Laurent failed to do for two weeks now. The last time he tried, Mya popped him in the face and screamed,

"FUCK OFF!"

Laurent sat down next to her and noticed Mya was crying.

"Oh no. What's wrong?" Laurent kindly asked.

Mya grabbed tissue and wiped her tears away.

"I just don't understand." Mya whined.
"Understand what?" Laurent asked as his hand slowly slid to her big belly.
"Why are they being so mean to the dogs? They just want some food." Mya cried out.

Laurent glanced at the tv again a realized Mya was watching Snoop Dogg's What's My Name music video. Laurent looked at Mya as if she was out of her mind. Laurent continued to rub her belly and said,

"Oh sweetie, it's gonna be okay. I know how much you love dogs."

Laurent continued to rub until he felt the baby kick.

"Yes!" Laurent happily yelled.
"Yes what?" Mya asked.
"Gotcha!" Laurent yelled and ran upstairs.

Mya looked at Laurent in a confusing manner and continued to eat her ice cream. There was a knock at the door. Mya struggled to stand up from the couch. She walked to the door and opened it.

"Denise!" Mya happily yelled.
"Mya! Oh look at you!" Denise cheerfully said and embraced her with a hug.

As Mya let Denise in, she asked,

"What are you doing here?"
"You asked me to be here remember?" Denise reminded Mya.

Apparently, Mya forgot she asked Denise to go with her to the doctor's appointment. Larry and Laurent came downstairs and asked,

"Hey, what's she doing here?"
"Hey Denise." Laurent said and waved.
"I wanted Denise to come to my appointment." Mya replied.
"But you asked me." Larry mentioned.
"I want you both to be there. Is that okay?" Mya asked.
"Sure." Larry replied.

Laurent stayed at the house and chilled.

"Man, I forgot my jacket. Go to the car, I'll be right there." Larry said and ran upstairs.
"Hurry up! I don't want to be late!" Mya yelled.
"Girl, you will not believe who I saw." Denise said.
"Who?" Mya curiously asked.
"Rachelle." Denise replied.
"Really? What she say ?" Mya questioned.
"She said that..." Denise said and then cleared her throat as Larry ran to the car.
