Time Away

8 Months Pregnant

Daniel's POV

"Daniel, can you please come by and rub my feet." She whined into the phone, I could tell she was wiping tears from her eyes. She got SUPER emotional these past few months.

"Baby, I'm in the studio working on that song with Trevor I've told you about. I will call when I'm on my way." I spoke in a low, firm tone. Trevor was behind me, chuckling lightly.

"Well," she sniffled "can you bring me chocolate baby? Please?!" She pleaded.
"Please, please, please, please, ple-" she continued.
"Yes Sloane, I will get them for you. Please get some rest." I sighed, rubbing my forehead.
"Okay, I love you."
"I love you too. Bye baby."
"Bye D." She hung up.

"Gaaahhhhdamn bro." Trevor said laughing hysterically. He playfully punched my shoulder.

"Man, she legit has been so emotional and eating so much damn food. Hell, I practically live at her crib. After her graduation, I asked if she wanted to move in with me but she said she couldn't leave Andrea." I sighed heavily this time, sitting on the couch.

"Dude, it'll be alright. Once the baby is here, everything will make sense. Pregnant women are just crazy but it's only nine months man. Plus, you love her! What's the worst of it? Cravings? Massages? You just got a lot on your plate is all." Trevor patted my shoulder this time.
"You're right. Thanks man. She's just, a handful.. Ohh man, our gender reveal slash baby shower party is tomorrow, you wanna come by? She'd love it if you came by, and bring Z too!" I dapped him up as he smiled slyly, knowing I didn't wait for his answer. Trevor being there would definitely have her all emotional with her girls and not me.

"Alright man sing the damn song." He said.

...

"Sloooaanneee.." I whispered to her.
"Baby, I got you chocolate pretzels." She was out cold.
"Geez." I rolled my eyes. I stripped down and pulled her body into mine, I had to be careful with my little man in there. Yeah, I'm hoping he's my little man. I'd be fighting every dude if I had a little girl. She'd be too beautiful, just like her mother.
I smiled to myself playing in Sloane's hair. I kissed her forehead and wrapped her hair up the best I could, putting her bonnet on her head.

"Daniel." Damn I woke her up.
"Daniel, baby. Did you bring chocolate?" She muttered, her eyes still trying to open up. I loved whenever she woke up. She'd always rub her big beautiful brown eyes and they'd get wide as she smiled at me. Man I'm so lucky.
"My baby and I want chocolate." She muttered sleepily, rubbing her eyes.
"You and little man need to rest." I said pressing her head back onto the pillow. She pushed my hand but was too tired to fight. She laid back down, inching closer to my chest.

"You wanna boy too?" She smiled, kissing my chest.
"Yeah, any ideas for names?"
"All I know is Kale needs to be his middle name." She stretched her arm over my waist.
"I'm interested. Why Kale?" I asked.
"He's my brother!" She fiddled with her hands.
"Aaand we made a bet." I laughed.
"How about Quentin?" I said.
"I like Quentin too. Quentin Kale doesn't fall together though. How about.." she thought quietly.
"Josiah." She sat up happily.
"Josiah Kale Simmons." She looked to me.
"I love it."
