Despite that morning's activities, I was feeling much better than I had since I'd gotten sick. In fact, our little rendezvous actually did me a bit of good believe it or not. I was relaxed and no longer achy...well I was still achy but this time in a good way.

As Prince made me breakfast downstairs, he insisted that I still take it easy. However I was tired of lying in that same spot on the bed, so I wrapped myself in a robe and got comfortable on his couch. Flipping through channels on his flat screen, my eyes grew in excitement once I saw that one of my favorite movies was on; A League of Their Own. I was only a few minutes in when I got a Face Time call from Alex.

"How's my baby?!" I asked her excitedly. She immediately laughed and brought the camera down to her growing belly. She was 5 months now, about 16 weeks and ready to find out the sex any day now. They went in for an ultrasound around 13 weeks but baby was being stubborn and hiding its parts so they couldn't tell.

"Baby's perfect" she said as she rubbed her belly. She was the most adorable pregnant woman I'd ever seen, but I could be biased since she was carrying my God child.

"How have you been feeling? Morning sickness subsiding?"

"Yes, Thank God. I don't know why it's called morning sickness when it lasts all damn day" she whined

"Ugh, I remember that well.." My voice trailed off and my eyes darted off into the distance briefly. Not wanting to stay in the memory too long, she changed the subject.

"So we're having a gender reveal next weekend, I need you here"

"Absolutely"

"Will Prince come too?" I loved that she always invited him no matter the occasion. Even when she knew there was no way he could make it, she still asked regardless.

"I'll ask him, he's been busy with this new album so I can't say for sure"

"Ok, well you know he's invited"

"I know. Let me talk to my baby now" She rolled her eyes and laughed. This was routine for us whenever I was in Minnesota, weekly facetime chats while I talk to her belly. When I'm home I just visit her constantly. I talked to the baby going back and forth between English and Spanish, rambling on about anything and everything. Prince walked in with a tray of food so I had to cut our conversation short. He placed it on the coffee table in front of me and just shook his head at my baby talk.

"Are you the father or Mateo?" He asked mocking me. I rolled my eyes

"Ok Nina's gotta go because her boyfriend is making fun of her"

"Oh Hi Prince!" Alex panned back up to her face "Put Prince on"

"No"

"Bitch, put Prince on" she threatened. That got a good chuckle out of him. I turned the phone around and placed it on him as he sat down next to me. No matter how many times she sees him or talks to him, she still gets excited like it's her first time.

"Hello Alex" he waved

"Hey, so are you free next weekend?"

"I told you I would ask him, damn"

"Ask me what?" his eyebrow rose curiously

"I'll tell you later. Bye Alex, by my baby" I cooed, kissing the screen obnoxiously. He laughed at me before hanging up. My stomach growled and he lovingly scratched my tummy before taking the tray and placing it on my lap.

"Eat up" I looked down and immediately grabbed butter and syrup to doctor up my breakfast just how I liked it. I loved his pancakes, I don't know what he does to them or what he puts in them but they're perfect every time.
