#2 :: Royal By Name, Loyal By Blood Pt2.

Ch 19.

RACQUEL
Back To Square One.

Pregnant sex is ten times better than normal sex. Malachi and I have been at it like rabbits constantly. I hadn't told Mal of the possibility that he may not be the father. He was ecstatic and he was a good man, I couldn't let him suffer over something that may not be. We have had sex way more than my one time with Maine. Even though I wanted this to be Maine's I wouldn't be mad if it was Mal's.

"C'mon babe time to go get stuff for my Princess."

"How you know it's a girl?"

"I just know." he said then kissed my stomach.

I smiled as he walked off to shower. We both couldn't wait to find out the sex and Mal is one hundred percent certain that it is a girl. The doorbell rang. I answered it. It was Destiny. She was really starting to annoy me.

She is Mal's baby momma, that's all. But very disrespectful, sending all sorts of pictures, as if she doesn't already know he's taken. I was glad Mal was in the shower because it now gave me a chance to say what I have I wanted to say all this time.

"Hello Destiny." I said.

"Where Mal at?" she asked ignoring my hello.

Strike one.

"He's out." I lied.

"No he ain't. That's his car right there. Why you lying? Girl let me in." I blocked her as she tried to force her way in.

Strike two.

"His car ain't working. He took mine. That's why he couldn't get MJ like you asked." I lied again. I had deleted the text and all the others she had sent him yesterday. But I knew she would believe what I was saying.

"So why you never go with him? Acting as if you live here for him to leave you up in here." She said rolling her eyes.

Strike three.

I moved my arms away from my robe so it opened and she saw my cute little bump. I rubbed it and looked at her.

"Because boo boo, unlike yo ass. I do live here. I wasn't a secret mistake, I was something he wanted. WE are what he wants."

I saw her fixated on my bump. I knew she was pissed. This was the only thing that made her different from the rest. Not anymore.

"You ain't ever gon be me. I gots him a son. I got him his first born..." I cut her.

"...But all he ever wanted was a girl right?" I asked rhetorically whilst rubbing my stomach.

"Whatever. The day Tanayah decides to come back you gon see that you just Mrs-Here-Right-Now. Tell home boy to call me." She said as she walked off.

I couldn't let her have the last word so I shouted after her.

"I ain't gon be doing that. What you need to do is stop sending naked pictures of yo fat ass to my man. You done lost yo shape boo boo, we stay laughing at yo pathetic pictures." I said then slammed the door.

I was annoyed she mentioned Tanayah. As I went upstairs Mal was out the shower getting dressed.

"Hurry up and get in baby we gotta be outta here in ten." He said.

I looked at him like he was crazy.

"Boy bye. I know you don't expect me to be ready in no ten minutes." I said and went in the shower.

About an hour later I was ready to go. We jumped in his car and cruised to the mall. It was empty but I didn't mind I preferred it this way with being pregnant; crowded, busy places just bothered me. We had done quite a bit of shopping when we decided to look at some strollers. I let him walk ahead because he was walking way too fast. As I turned into the store I bumped into a pregnant lady.
