"Alexis?"

"No...Nia?"

"Uh-uh...Kamari?"

"Nah...Janessa?"

"No,"

Silence...

"What about Jordan?"

Aubrey shakes her head, "I'm not naming my baby after a sneaker."

Keenan sucks his teeth, "Jordan was a name before it was a shoe."

"Yeah well I don't like it, it's a boy name." She states.

"No it's a unisex name, especially if you spell it with a 'Y'." Keenan retorts.

Aubrey gives him a blank look for a moment before slowly shaking her head. "No Keenan,"

He groans and throws his head back on the couch. "We're never going to agree on a name." He says and Aubrey cant agree more. They've been sitting on the couch at Keenan's house watching snippets of a show while going back and forth on baby names for their daughter for the last hour.

"Whatever, I'm tired of sitting up in this house. Lets go do something." Aubrey says. Ever since her sister and mother returned back to Florida after New Years the house has gotten quieter and Aubrey finds herself bored most of the time. Her aunt likes to engage in conversations and watch movies with her but she has to work on the weekends so it gets kind of lonely without Keenan around.

"Nah, your little pregnant ass can just sit back and relax." Keenan tells her and picks up the remote to find a different show.

Aubrey lets out a long groan that keeps going and going until Keenan looks over at her. She frowns and scrunches her eyebrows together. "Come on, please? I know I'm pregnant but I'm also bored. It's not like I'm gonna drop this load any time soon."

"You're six and a half months pregnant Aubrey." He tells her.

She shrugs, "So? I'm not saying we have to go to a freaking amusement park or club. I just wanna get out this house, it's a nice day out and I'm cooped up inside my house." Keenan doesn't say anything as he glances outside, its sunny but looks can be deceiving and he knows it's at least 20 degrees outside. He defiantly turns back to the tv and Aubrey crosses her arms. She thinks for a moment then an idea pops into her head. "Remember when you told me you wanted to be a rapper?"

Keenan can feel his interest spike up. "Yeah,"

"Well you never let me listen to any of your songs."

"Cuz they're all recorded on the system at Kiara's house." He says.

Aubrey nods, "Then lets go over there. I wanna hear some of your music."

Keenan gives her a doubtful look. "Yeah right, you just wanna get out the house."

Aubrey giggles, "True but I really do wanna hear your music too." She says honestly. Keenan stares at for a moment and she tilts her head to the side innocently until he finally sighs and gives in.

"Fine, we can go." He says exasperatedly and Aubrey smiles happily and gets up from the couch. "You need help getting dressed?"

"Nah, I got it." She tells him, making her way across the room and heading up the stairs. Keenan can't help but notice the slight wobble in her walk as she goes and he smirks a little finding it cute. The reason he gave in to Aubrey is because ever since he got released from jail he hasn't worked on his mix tape. It was supposed to be released the third week of September but after all the Sevyn and Aubrey drama, the jail time and the baby thing, his album got put on the back burner.
