It's been a few months now since August and I's situation. And within time and lots and LOT'S of prayer I decided to forgive him. And in most cases like this, women would call me dumb and stupid and the old me would do the same. But after being put in this situation I've realized that it wasn't that easy to just move on and I wasn't ready to give up on us.  Since forgiving August, we've been great actually. A few disagreements here and there but we've been getting by.

August went back to doing his job today, after months of taking a break, MINUS the fucking the patient part. That had to stop of course. So I've been lounging around on the couch all day. So with him working now he's been busy a lot, and he's also been busy with preparing for the arrival of him and Nina's baby girl.

I got up off the couch to go into the kitchen to feed our new puppy, Roxy.

"Hey girl, gimme some love." I embraced Roxy with a tight squeeze and began rubbing her stomach. While I continued to play with Roxy, my phone began to ring. It was my dad calling.

"Hey baby girl."

"Hey pops, how you been? I've been meaning to call you and check on you."

"That's already I know you would've gotten to it. But I've been good, just been waiting to see my baby girl. I've been thinking of you."

"I've been missing you to dad. I actually had plans to come up there soon."

"I would love that! And bring my grand baby Roxy too." I began to chuckle.

My dad was up in age, he's been suffering from Alzheimer's so he often mistaken Roxy for a child.

"Of course ill bring her. She would love to see you."

"Good, good. So how's you and that boy, Augusta doing?"

"We're good. Real good."

I never told my dad about August and I's situation. Not even about his baby on the way. Just my mom. I didn't wanna upset him or anything. But now I felt like I needed to vent to my dad and let him know the truth.

"Dad actually, um.. theirs something you should know."

"Oh really? Whats.. baby girl somebody is calling in, can it wait?"

"Yeah, go ahead an answer. Love you. We'll talk again soon."

"Okay baby, I love you too."

Well I guess it wasn't time for him to know. I sighed and stood up and went into the kitchen to get some apple juice out the fridge. Before opening the fridge, I glanced and noticed a pink bow that said, "it's a girl!"

Another constant reminder. Don't get me wrong I'm happy, but it's still gonna take some time for me to get use to, let alone prepared. I opened the door and grabbed my apple juice bottle.

"Hey baby!" I turned around and it was August. He was home quite early compared to his usual time.

"You're home early? And I couldn't be anymore happier." He embraced me with a hug and started kissing me.

"Yeah, everything at the office was taken care of. Princess is gonna handle everything from here." He placed his brief case down as he opened the fridge. He started yapping along about his day and I causally said "oh wow" pretending to care as he went on. But his demeanor through me off. He wasn't making eye contact which wasn't normal for him. I knew something was up.

"Oh yeah and Nina's baby shower is Saturday by the way. So I'm going to take off tomorrow and go help set up and look for some baby stuff." He turned nonchalantly while stuffing his face with a day old sand which. I knew it was something. I took a few deep breaths before responding.

"Oh great! I can't wait." I responded. Believe it or not, I was exciting to shop for the baby. Eventually in the future, I would become her step-mom, so it was only right.

August
Mia walked away before I could tell her. I didn't think it was a good idea for her to come tomorrow. We've been doing good lately and I didn't wanna fuck that up. I knew she was okay with everything but I didn't want her to feel out of place. Or awkward and shit.

But Im gonna keep shut, she seemed excited and that made me happy. Not too many girls would've stuck around.

I finished my sandwich and grabbed a bottle of water and laid on the couch with Roxy. I picked the remote up and started flipping through channels in search of something to watch.

The next morning..

August
"August, baby wake up." said Mia.

Damn, I fell asleep on the couch. A nigga was really tired. I looked at Mia up and down and she was dressed and ready to go.

"Nigga get up. Toys R us and Baby R us is open now!" she said as she slapped my butt causing me to instantly flip over.

"Aye chill." She began to laugh.

I raised up and stretched out my joints which made them crack. I got up and went into the laundry room and scanned for sweats and my hoodie.

"Baby, where my sweats?" I yelled.

"In the basket with your hoodie."

I reached into the basket and fumbled through clothes and grabbed my sweats and hoodie. I stripped out of my clothes and slid on my sweats and hoodie and then my slides.

"Alright leeegoo."

Nina
Mom no don't put that there, leave it alone. August is on the way to help. I grabbed my phone to text August and see where he was. He said he would be here around 11:30, and it was 1:15 now.

"Girl, he coming calm down. You all excited to see your boo." said Dria.

I started blushing and turned my face away. I was happy to see August. Since I've been pregnant, I feel like it's brought us closer instead of apart. And hell, it may even bring us back together. He's single finally, so we probably have a chance.

"So what's going on between y'all two? Y'all getting back serious?" Asked my mom as she sat in the stool across from me.

"Um somewhat, since he's not with ole girl anymore I think we have a chance again. And I know he's so family orientated so I know he wouldn't wan't his baby girl living in a separate home." I said.

My girls and my mom all embraced me with a hug an we all started laughing. "Do I smell a wedding in the near future?" Dria said.

I began laughing. "Girl slow down, let me have this damn baby first."
