baby i ➵ royce

Ch. 15 - Verrazano Narrows.

An hour later, after we dropped Craig and Bre off to their house, Jacob and I returned safely back at my crib. Jacob was so tired that when he entered the house, he crashed on the couch immediately. Surprisingly, I’m not doing that. At least Jacob remained sober, which was something I was worrying about. I don’t want Jacob to cause any type of harm for baby that’s slowly developing.

“Had fun?” I asked, slightly chuckled.

“Hell. Yes,” Jacob slurred as his head is leaned back on the couch.

I placed my keys on the glass coffee table and flopped in the couch space next to Jacob.

“It’s still complicated that I have to go cold turkey,” Jacob explained. “Especially when I’m turned up at a club.”

“Well babe, you survived,” I randomly smiled at him.

“I can’t smoke any weed either?” Jacob asked.

“No!” I chuckled. “C’mon Jacob, you know better than that.”

“Well if that’s the case, can I sit on your lap?”

“Since Christmas is around the block, why not?” I smirked.

As much Jacob didn’t really wanted to get up, he forced himself to and sat firmly on my lap, as both of my arms is spreaded on the top of the couch.

“I see your hair gotten bigger and bouncy,” I randomly stated as I’m staring at him.

“I know,” Jacob said. “It’s getting cut again after Kayden or Danalynne is born.”

“Aw shit, you made up some names already and it haven’t even been five months yet?” I laughed. “Smart thing that you made up one if we having a boy or girl.”

“Mhm, and you’re responsible for giving the child a middle name,” Jacob asserted.

“Sure. I’m down with that,” I approved as I begin to rub Jacob’s tummy. Though it’s unnoticeable, it’s getting harder that it’s nowhere soft anymore. “To be honest with you, I never thought this’ll happen so soon.”

“Me too,” Jacob replied. “Especially. . . by you. And to be candid, even though I wanted children this whole time, I thought you weren’t gonna be satisfied.”

“Why?”
