Misty

"What time is our appointment again?"

Side eyeing him before rolling my eyes, I answered this question for the fifth time.

"11am."

When I didn't hear a response, I looked behind me. August sat there staring at me.

"What?"

"Why you answered like that?"

"Like what?" I mumbled.

"Like a nigga annoying you."

"Not a nigga, my husband." I mumbled to myself.

"Why you ain't say it louder?"

Turning around, I watched him. Shaking his head, he set his macbook aside and got up.

"All I did was ask a question!"

"The same question you asked four time already." I looked at him.

"Ok and? It's just a simple question. I don't see why you making it a big fucking deal."

"Because if you listened to me when I told you the first time, I wouldn't have to repeat myself over and over."

"Whatever Misty." He walked into the bathroom and closed the door.

After putting out my clothes, I went to wake up Nai. We had our usual beginning of the year check with Doctor Henry along with along us talking to her about having another baby.

"Sweet pea, time to wake up."

"No!" She whined as she stirred in her sleep.

Her eyes were still closed as she rolled over, just like Aug would do.

"Come on Nai. Time to get up."

"Ten more minutes please." She begged.

"Fine! Just ten and while you sleep, I'll pick out your clothes." I got up. "I wonder if that floral puff dress can still fit you?"

"I'm up!" She sat up instantly. "Please step away from my closet!"

"Stepping away." I raised my hand in defense as I laughed.

"Thank you." She sighed.

Walking back over to her, I kissed her on her forehead.

"Good morning sweet pea."

"Morning momma." She stretched and got up.

"Now shake up. We got a bit of a busy day today with you and this photoshoot."

"Yea." She nodded.

Watching her walk into her bathroom, I couldn't help but smile. This was a new year and here we were hoping to expand our family.

"Momma?" I heard when I was about to leave.

Turning, I gave her my attention.

"What we doing for my birthday this year?"

"Nai you're birthday isn't for another five months."

"I know, so we need to start planning now." She smiled.

"Mhmm. I'll think about it." I left.

Making my way down to the kitchen, I got breakfast going. Between cooking and checking emails, I was already tired and the day had just started.

I had one more week till the end of my vacation so all the different positions for auditions and red carpet events were coming in.

"Jesus Christ!"
