Picture Perfect

chapter twenty eight

Kai'lani I. Perez

Today Chris and I are looking around for homes. We were ready to start this journey together. I got up from his bed and stretched. I looked at him to see him asleep. I shook my head and turned my attention to him. His arms were behind his head and his mouth was slightly opened. Even when he was asleep, he was cute. I shook his body causing him to turn on his side.

"Chris, wake up." I whined as I shook his body some more. Chris groaned and turned to face me. He was stale facing me hard. I smiled and kissed his cheek.

"Goodmorning baby." I greeted. He smiled and hugged my waist. He laid his head on thigh and closed his eyes. I popped the side of his head and he looked up at me. He sat up and gently pushed me down and pinned my arms to the bed.

"You want my attention baby?" He inquired as he rubbed up and down my thigh. I nodded. He pulled up my shirt and pinched my nipples.

"You're not wearing a bra or panties. You were waiting for me, weren't you?" He inquired.

"Yes papi." I smirked. He leaned down and was about to kiss me till' there was a knock on the front door. We sighed and he got up. I pulled my shirt back down and followed Chris downstairs. He opened the door and I looked down. Brielle was in her carrier asleep and her things were laying against the carrier. I picked her carrier while Chris got her things.

"I know she didn't leave that baby on the doorstep." I told Chris as I walked up the stairs and opened the door to Brielle's room. I took her out of the carrier and laid her down in the crib. I placed the blanket over her small body and turned on the baby monitor. I walked out of the room, closing the door behind me gently. Chris was in the hallway pacing back and forth.

"Karrueche's not answering her phone." He sighed. I grabbed his hand and looked up at him.

"I don't think she's coming back Chris so we're keeping Brielle with us." I told him. I walked across the hall to Royalty's room. I opened the door to see she was up and watching cartoons. I picked her up and kissed her cheek.

"Hey Royalty." I smiled. She smiled and slobbed on her teething ring. I walked out of the room with her on my hip and walked into Chris's bedroom. He sat on the bed on his phone. I sat down on the bed and placed Royalty between us. She grabbed onto Chris's wrist and babbled at him.

"Good morning to you too princess." He greeted. He picked her up and kissed her cheek. I smiled. He might not be great at relationships but he's great with his kids. He looked over at me and smirked.

"Whatcha' smiling about?" He inquired.

"You. You're so great with kids. I know you're going to be a great father to our son or daughter."

He smiled, "I know you're going to be a great mother. You're already taking on being a mom to Brielle and you're always checking in on Royalty." He told me. I kissed his cheek and took Royalty from him.

"Thank you baby, I really appreciate it."

"You're welcome. How's the home searching going?" He inquired.

"Great. I've found many potential houses but only two stick out to me." I told him. He nodded and laid back. I turned to Bubble Guppies and let Royalty get comfortable in between Chris and I. I grabbed my Macbook and opened it up. It was time to do a little bit of research to find where Karrueche might be.

Christopher M. Brown

I looked over to my side to see both Royalty and Kai asleep. She has been sleeping more than usual but I know it deals with the pregnancy. I picked up Royalty and walked to her room. I laid her down, kissed her forehead and covered her with her blanket. I turned on the baby monitor and walked out of her bedroom. I peaked into Brielle's room and seen she was sleep. I closed the door and walked into my bedroom.

I walked over to Kai and closed her laptop. I sat it on the nightstand and pulled the blanket over her. I kissed her cheek and walked out onto the balcony. I took a seat and sighed. What the hell was Karrueche thinking? Leaving Brielle on the doorstep like some animal. The paparazzi could have possibly gotten a hold of her, then what? If she wasn't ready to be a mother, she could have said something.

"You ok babe?" I heard Kai'lani inquired. She took a seat in my lap and held my hand.

"No. I'm just confused and angry. What did she leave her on the doorstep?"

"I don't know baby but we're just going to continue to raise her and make sure she's a healthy, growing girl. That's all we can do." She told me. I sighed and laid my head on her shoulder.

"I'm grateful for you Kai, I really am." I admitted.

"I'm grateful for you too Chris. You've given me something that I've been dreaming of having and that is a child." She told me.

"I know you've told me that many times but I like your enthusiasm for children."

"If I didn't major in Art, I would have been working as a social worker."

"Really? That's interesting. I can't see you as a social worker." I chuckled. She smiled and placed my chain.

"Yeah but art is and will always be my first love."

"I feel you on that. My music and art will always be my first love." She nodded and I looked up at the sky. It think it's time to make things more official.
