Just the Beginning

A Mistake

Alex

- A month later -

" Cleo, pass me the bottle " I asked

Currently I was holding Quran Jamel Rodriguez, my son. I looked at his brown hair and his green eyes that he originated from his mother. He was beautiful. He was not even a month old. He was just a few days. It feels like he was just born yesterday.

-Flashback-

I was sitting at the kitchen table with Lia right across from me. It was about a week since I came back from Paris. I really missed my white chocolate baby.

" Alex pass the hot sauce please " she was pickng up the mash potatoes with her spoon

" Um.. no. You will get a heart burn" I said pulling the hot sauce closer towards me

" Pass it ! " she smi yelled at me

I laughed at how irritated she was getting " No. Eat that shit without. "

She clutched her stomach " My water broke"

" Yeah, Yeah, Yeah. Thats funny. I still wont give you the hot sauce. Try harder "

She got up " No Alex. Im serious ! " I dropped my fork and stood up. I told her to stay put like she had a choice. I ran upstairs and grabbed her hospital bag. I grabbed my keys and phone then left.

I closed the door behind me and got into the car. I alomost pulled out the driveway until I realized that Lia was not with me. I ran back into the house and walked her to the car. I drove her to Kings County Hospital and they carried her into a room. I called everyone and told them what was happening. I put on the scrubs they gave me and walked into the hospital room to witness something beautiful.

- Flashback over-

I put Quran into his crib after I burped him and walked to check up on Lia. She was sleeping. She still had pain. I walked downstairs to the living room and sat down. Cleo was on her phone.

" I remember when NyNy was so small and cute. Now look at the little monster. " She said

" He is so much to handle. Crying every night. Waking me and Lia up. " I said slightly doozing off. She hit me to wake up. I sat up on the couch.

" I'm tired Cleo " I whined

" Come let me take you upstairs you big baby. When I was pregnant ain't nobody helped me up the stairs " she said helping me up.

" Lies. I helped you. " I flicked her nose. She helped me upstairs and put me in the bed.

" If he wake up I will handle it but I got to leave before 3 to pick Nyayla up from school " she said

It was nice she finally put her in school instead of Ashanti home schooling her. I nodded and then doozed off.

I woke up to the baby crying. I checked the time and it was 1 in the morning. I sat up in the bed and rubbed me face. I walked to his room and picked him up.

I walked to the kitchen and took his bottle out of the fridge. I put it in the microwave for 30 seconds then fed him. I burped him then put him back to sleep. I walked back upstairs and placed him back in the crib.

I checked my phone and saw Cleo text me a little cute message:

Baby sister:) : Hey bro, by time you get thisyoumaybewokeupfromQuransleeping. Iloveyoubigbrother. Seeyou tomorrow.

I didn't reply because she maybe sleeping. I put my phone on the dresser and got back in the bed. I looked over at Lia and she was facing me.

" What ? " I said
