Chapter Thirty-six: Bravo's Birthday

Two Weeks later

"Hurry up Robyn. My wifey is waiting for me." I rushed Robyn as she struggled to get her suitcase from the baggage carousel. We just landed in Barbados about twenty minutes ago. Bravo's birthday is tomorrow but Robyn and I came a day early since his party starts noon and we didn't want to be late. Plus Robyn wanted to spend more time with my bae her mother.

"Can you help me please? This bag is really heavy."

"No one told you to bring a month worth of clothes." I said, grabbing her bag for her.

"I don't need to be doing any heavy lifting anyway. Do you want me to go into labor?" She said as she rubbed her big belly. She's six months now and she is really pregnant. She eats just as much as I do, cranky 95% of the time, and waddles when she walks.

"You aint gonna go in labor. You just don't want to carry your shit."

"You're right." She said with a smirk before she grabbed my hand and led me to the outside of the airport.

"You see your mom anywhere?" I asked as I looked around the line of cars along the sidewalk.

"Umm...there she is." Robyn pointed at her mother who was power walking towards us.

"Am I late?" She asked when she finally reached us.

"No, we just landed a little while ago." I said.

"Oh my god Robyn. You're so big!" Monica exclaimed before she gave Robyn a hug. I saw the smile that was on Robyn's face slowly fade away. She's been really self conscious about her size lately since a lot of her clothes don't fit anymore. I told her not to worry about it because it's normal to gain wait during pregnancy but she doesn't want to listen. She's more concerned about what the public is going to think and who is going to publish a news story on how big she's gotten. She looks fine to me and I tell her she's beautiful everyday but I don't think she believes me. I know she'll be happy once she has the baby and can work her baby weight off.

"How is my grand daughter doing today?" She rubbed on Robyn's stomach making her smile a little.

"She's been good today. I haven't thrown up yet but my back is killing me."

"It'll be over soon. Once you see your little bundle of joy this will all be worth it."

"I helped make that bundle of joy. Can I get some love too?" I asked Ma playfully.

"Come here boy." She said as she pulled me in for a hug. As we hugged I heard a mans voice ask "Do I need to bring the car up here Monica?" She pulled away from me and turned to look at the man who I immediately knew was Robyn's father.

"Yeah, they have a lot of stuff and Robyn's back is hurting. I don't think she wants or needs to do a whole lot of walking."

"How is my baby girl doing?" Her dad asked as he walked over to her. He hugged her and kissed her forehead.

"I'm fine. I'm just sore and a little tired."

"I'm gonna go get the car and then we can go to the house and you can get some rest."

"That sounds great."

"Who is this?" He asked, referring to me.

"Dad you know Chris. Remember when he came down here a couple years ago?"

"I don't actually." Robyn gave him a look and he shrugged.

"Whatever. Dad this is Chris. Chris this is my dad Ronald."
