Time for Love (Book Four to New Flame)

Back at It

Chris

Ciera Rogers was spotted on Sunshine Boulevard with a surprising possible baby bump after her and CB's split?!

I watched TMZ with my mom on the couch in her house.  I shook my head, rubbing my hands over my face. 

"I'm not even going to ask, Chris." She looked at me, expecting an answer. 

"Mama, I think I messed up-"

"Well, that's very obvious." She interrupted. "How far along is she?"

I shrugged my shoulders. "I don't know."

"I really don't know what to say, Chris.  What about N'Aejah, Crystal, Caitlyn, Nile... Jakari? What will they think?"

"Ma, I'm still tryna figure out of this baby is mine." I spoke honestly.  I and Nae haven't communicated with each other since last month.  I'm pretty sure she has seen Ciera pregnant.  It was all over social media. 

"Well, we need to get ready for Chubbs's birthday party, right?" I nodded my head looking off into space. "I want to talk to Ciera." I instantly looked at my mom. 

"You never talk to her, why would you want to now?"

"I just want to. I'm being your mom, and talking to her is a part of my job." She fiddled with her purse strap. 

"I'll get that together." I simply answered.  Lord knows what my mom could say to Ciera, and I hope its nothing too harsh. 

Later That Day

It was my little man's fifth birthday.  Despite all of the craziness going on with Ciera and A'Jahnae, I had to put a smile on my face for my youngest.  I put together a huge  pool party for Nile and all of his friends at the family house.  I made it an exotic animal themed party, since my son loved them.  I got a handful of tiger cubs to interact with the kids with the help of a zookeeper.  It was a lot of kids, and a lot of fun. 

Nile yelled as I dipped him under the water in the pool.  We laughed together as I carried him out. He ran off somewhere so I went over to where N'Aejah, August, and Aaron were sitting under an umbrella table. 

"Wassup, Chris?" I gave August and Aaron some dap. 

"Wasgood, y'all?" I nodded. "N'Aejah, put a towel around yourself." Nae said she could wear a bikini, but I didn't want everybody looking at her and all. She ended up putting her towel around her bathing suit.

"Little man getting all big." August shook his head. "I remember when he was fresh out."

"I know, Aug. All of em grow up quick, look at lil Whodi." N'Aejah rolled her eyes as we laughed.

"Dad, you sure we are all Mom's kids?" N'Aejah asked. I and Aug frowned in confusion.

"Uh, yeah? I was there each time your mom popped all y'all out. Why you ask?"

"Look at her body, looks like she has never had kids in life." I looked in the direction she was looking and I licked my lips.  Nae had on an off white bikini with a white crop top over it.  She looked good enough to eat.

I looked at August and held up a thumb. "I been meaning to ask your mom something, hold on." August and Aaron chuckled as I walked over to A'Jahnae.  She was talking to Heather. 

"Oh, hey Chris." I hugged Heather. "Nile is such a big boy now, I was just telling Nae the same thing." I glanced at Nae who had her attention elsewhere. 

"Yeah, I know. He bad, though."

"Aren't all kids?" She giggled. "I remember you, me, Nae, August, Trey, and A'Jaiziea starting out with our first babies and now? Our first kids are almost done with high school! Goodness. Y'all the only ones still popping babies out."
