Now That I know You... (It's Us Sequel)

Lately You Ain't Been Acting Like You Should

Karissa's POV

"I'm not tellin you to wait, I'm not tellin you to wait on me." August swung me around and sung.

"August, put me down." I whined.

"What's wrong?" he kissed my neck and continued to swing me.

"I don't feel good." I whined.

"That's because you're pregnant. I keep trying to tell you." he sat down on the picnic blanket.

"I don't know." I rubbed my stomach and sat next to him.

"It's a boy. His name is Anthony." he grabbed my hand.

"I don't know if I'm ready to deal with 3 kids." I sat back.

"You are. I know it." he squeezed my hand.

"Are you really gonna do that interview?" I said as we both stood up.

"Yes. I ain't gone go in there and lie, though." he held my hand as we walked to the car.

"Ok." I looked down and smiled.

"What you smiling at?" he laughed and bumped me.

"Nothing, Anthony." I laughed.

"I'm telling you." he opened my door.

"How are you so sure I'm pregnant and if I am it's a boy?"I got in and he did too.

"I can feel it." he smiled and started the car.

"Where is my daughter?" I crossed my arms and looked out the window.

"With Alexis and Darian." he pulled out of the park parking lot.

"Alright." I looked down at my phone. I noticed a lot of attention because of pregnancy rumors and August's interview in a couple days.

I had to say, fame isn't what I expected to be. I always thought money and attention would make us happy but it's more of a burden. Honestly, celebrities don't have it as easy as people think. All the rumors and false statements about you makes you wanna go back to who you were before.

"You ok?" August asked.

"Yeah." I smiled.

"I'm ready for Christmas." he smiled back.

"I am too. It's my 2nd Christmas with my baby girl I might have another one coming." I said, still smiling.

"I'm ready for her 1st birthday. Maybe this year won't be as shitty as the last two." he pulled into the driveway.

"I hope so." I unbuckled my seat belt.

"Come on." he opened my door and held out his hand.

"Ok, dad." I took it and we walked inside.

"When are we gonna take this pregnancy test?" he sat his sunglasses and wallet on the counter.

"I'll take it on Christmas. Like our surprise if I am." I sat down and took off my shoes.

"Ok. But I do want to talk to you." he sat on the couch.

"Yes?" I sat beside him.

"What do you consider us to be?" he put his arm around me.

"What you mean?" I looked up at him.

"Like, what is our relationship?" he looked back at me.

"I don't know. I wanna take us slow." I grabbed his hand.

"How would you feel if I started seeing other people?" he asked. I could tell he was scared of my response.

"I wouldn't like it and I would have to try not to kill the girl." I rolled my eyes.

"Why you so sour?" he laughed.

"I don't know. I just wouldn't like it." I got up and went to the kitchen.

"Aww." he sat at the counter.

"Do what you do. I just wouldn't like it." I poured some Coke in a cup.

"I think we both know why that is." he winked and smiled.

"Shut up." I laughed and sat across from him.

We ain't do much of anything the rest of the day, just talk about us.
