CORIE'S POV
We have been home with the twins for about a week now and it's been great. They sleep through the night, which is a blessing for I.
Pryce has been sleeping on the couch and has been helping with the kids. As far as our relationship goes, it's paused. We're just focused on the babies and Pryce has accepted my decision to forget about us at the moment and to pretend we never happened and that we just had babies together. Nothing more and nothing less.
Today I was gonna go visit my parents and I wish I could say Aaliyah too, but she had to go back LA for her job.
"Hey, I'm about to go to my parents house. Can you get the babies ready while I do my makeup?" I walked into the living room and seen he was sleeping with Colbi laying on his chest and Jr. was in his little swing.
Even though I couldn't stand him at the moment, it was the cutest sight ever.
I went over to grab her, but he woke up.
"Wassup?"
"I was about to go get her ready."
He sat up," where you going?"
"To my parents house."
"I'll get them ready. You can go get yourself ready."
"Thank you."
I went up to go do my makeup and in the process of it, I heard crying. I rushed to the babies' room and seen it was Colbi, crying her heart out.
"What happened?" I rushed over to where they were.
"She doesn't want to get her diaper changed."
"Aww mamas baby, move out the way, you don't like daddy, right?" I started to change her diaper and she instantly calmed down.
"Wow Colbi, that's how you gonna do me."
"You just don't have the magic touch like me. Maybe you have better luck with Jr., but then again he probably doesn't like you anyway."
"My boy is chill and he likes everyone." He picked him up out of his basket net and set him set on his changing table.
Surprisingly, he did it without any struggle.
"I told ya, he's chill."
"You changed his diaper, now I'm going to need you to get both of them dressed."
"No problem. You can go now."
I laughed and went back to doing my makeup. 30 minutes later I was finished and Pryce and the kids were laying on the bed.
I went into the closet to get dress since Pryce didn't want to get up and get out.
"Did you pack their diaper bags?"
"Yes ma'am."
I put on a white tank top with a tan cardigan, some ripped boyfriend jeans, and my Michael Kors sandals. I walked out the closet and put on my pearl earrings that was laying on the nightstand.
When I was putting on my earrings, I felt Pryce come behind and wrap his arms around my waist.
"I've missed you..."
"Stop it. Get off of me, please." I pushed him away.
"I've missed you. I love you so much." He put his hand on my face and used his thumb to brush my lips.
"Pryce, it's too soon and-"
I got cut off by his lips on mine and I melted in his arms. I wrapped my arms around his neck like second nature. I didn't realize how much I missed him, but remembered the situation we were in and I pulled away.
"Why you stop?"
I looked down at my feet, "you cheated on me, Pryce. You don't understand how bad I want to just forgive you, but it's not that easy. Every time I look at you, I imagine you laying in bed with some random ass bitch and she's getting what was only supposed to be mine." By this time tears were in my eyes.
"Baby, I swear to you, I'm going to make this right. I never wanted to hurt you."
I picked up Colbi, put her in car seat, and strapped her in and did the same with Pryce. I grabbed Pryce's baby bag and put my wallet and Carmax in the front.
"Get the babies and help me put them in the car."
I rushed out the house and turned the air on in the car, so that it wasn't hot for them. Pryce came out a few seconds later with the kids and strapped them in the car. He closed the door and came around to open my door.
"What?"
He didn't respond, he cupped my head in his hands and planted a kiss on my forehead.
"I love you."
He didn't give me a chance to respond. He closed my door and walked back in the house. I stayed in the driveway for a couple more minutes before pulling out and headed to my parents' house.
I pulled up in front of their house and my parents were waiting outside for me on the porch.
"Hello parents." I say as get out the car.
They come over to give me a hug, but their attention went straight to the babies.
"Aww look at my little grand babies." My mother cooed.
My mother grabbed Pryce's carseat and my dad grabbed Colbi's. I followed them into the house with the baby bags and headed into the kitchen where they were seated.
"Aww Corie, they're adorable." My mom said.
"You and that son of a bitch made some gorgeous babies." My dad said with a scowl on his face.
"Daddy, stop it." I sat down at the island and watched how they interacted with their grandkids.
Colbi was wide awake just staring up at her grandpa and Jr. Was knocked out.
"So, what's been going on with you and Pryce? Are you guys still together?" My mom says, staring deep in my soul.
"Um, we're on a break. He still stays with us, but only to help with the twins."
"Is he sleeping on the couch?"
"Yes mother." I let out a sigh.
"Where is he now?"
"At the house."
She nods, "Let me get my granddaughter, let's switch husband."
They exchanged babies and Colbi started to whine. She was so dramatic.
"Ha! She doesn't like you." My dad laughs.
"Shut the hell up. Corie come get this child."
I went over to grab her and she was still crying. I grabbed her pacifier out of her carseat and that shut her up.
"What time is it? It maybe time for them to eat."
"It's 2 o'clock."
"Yea, its time." I grabbed her bottle out of her bag and switched the pacifier for the bottle nipple.
"Should I wake him up?" My dad asked.
I shook my head, "he'll eat when he wakes up."
"Put him in his carseat, you gonna spoil him."
"There's nothing wrong with being spoiled. I spoil you all the time." My dad winked at my mom as he put Jr. In his carseat.
"Ew, you guys are gross." I scrunched up my face.
Colbi finished her bottle and I put her burping cloth across my shoulder and proceeded to burp her.
"Do they sleep through the night?"
"Yes and I'm very thankful. They're such good babies."
"I can tell." My mom smiled.
Colbi burped and I sat her in her carseat that was in front of my dad.
"They have so much hair. They must get that from our side of the family." My dad spoke.
"Pryce has good hair."
"Pryce doesn't have good anything at the moment," My said and rolled her eyes, "I can't believe him and to think I thought of him as a son."
"Mom stop. You're gonna make me cry." I say taking a deep breath.
She came over and gave me a hug, "It's okay, mera chhota bandar."
We released from our hug and she went to go sit back down.
"I don't even wanna think about it anymore."
"That's fine."
"Ya know, the offer for the ass whopping, is still available."
"Yes I know father." I laughed.
Around 7 o'clock I said my goodbyes and headed home. I got the babies out the car and walked in the house.
Pryce's car was outside, but the house was awfully quiet.
"Pryce? Are you here?" I called out, but their was no answer.
I headed upstairs to change the babies into their pajamas, then placed them in their cribs and left out, but not before turning on the baby monitors.
I walked to my room and Pryce was laying in the bed, knocked out.
I walked towards him and shook him awake.
"Wake up, Pryce."
"Mhmm?"
"Pryce wake up!" I yelled.
"Damn, my bad."
"You're fine."
He sat up and swung his legs over, so they were on the floor.
"I just missed sleeping in a bed. I'm having some serious back problems." He chuckles and stretches.
"That's just a small price to pay for your actions." I say in seriousness.
I took a seat on the other side of the bed and turned my back towards him.
"How many times do I have to say I'm sorry?"
"Forever or at least until it doesn't hurt to look at you anymore."
He crawled over and kissed the back of my neck.
"What can I do to make it up to you?" He planted kisses on my neck and removed my cardigan off of one shoulder.
"What are you doing?" I'm not gonna lie and say I didn't enjoy the feeling of his kisses on my neck.
"You can't answer my question with a question." He moved my braids aside and planted another kiss.
"You can't make up for what you did with kisses and sweet words." I shrugged him off of me and stood up, facing him.
"What do I have to do?" He asked again.
He sat criss cross applesauce on the bed, waiting to hear my response.
"You can go back in time and change your actions. If you can do that then everything would be all good."
He got up off the bed and stood in front of me.
He wrapped his arms around my waist and pushed me against the wall.
"If I could, I would." He licked his lips. I eyed him up and down.
"It was a mistake?"
"Yes."
"Okay."
He backed up, "okay? That's it?"
"Yup. You're dismissed now. Please leave my room."
Cries came through, through the baby monitor.
"Go ahead. Your kids even want you to leave my presence."
He nodded and left out. I let out a breath that I didn't know I was holding and shook my head.
I changed into some pajama shorts and kept my tank top on before climbing into bed. Pryce entered the room with the twins and joined me in the bed, laying them in the middle.
"I think they're hungry."
"No. I just fed them about an hour ago."
"He sleeps a lot. All he does is sleep, eat and shit."
"He's a newborn baby, what do you suspect?"
"At least she wakes up and stays awake most of the time. She's very observant, but he doesn't give a fuck about anything."
"Well they're both sleep now, so why aren't they in their cribs?"
"They said that they wanted to sleep in mommy's and daddy's bed."
"Did they really?"
"True statement." He laughed.
"You're just using my kids, so that you could lay in here."
"True statement." We both laughed.
"I'll let all of y'all stay in here. Just for tonight though." I cut off the light and drifted into a peaceful rest.
I felt his hands wrap around me and I felt safe in his arms.
