"Wow, you look like you're ready to pop!" My Aunt Marsha says. I laugh and rub my belly as she embraces me. "Trust me. I feel like I'm ready to pop." I said. "It's okay. You're still cute." She tells me. I smiled. It was Saturday,April 10th and today was the baby shower for August and I. I was greeting guests at the door. "Where should I put this?" My aunt asked, holding up a pink gift bag. Yes, we're having a girl and I'm so happy. "Everything is in the backyard." I tell her. We decided to have the shower at the house because nobody was tryna spend mad money renting a hall. I just wanted something sweet and simple. This was a baby shower, not a sweet 16. While I was at the door greeting guests, August, Chris, and some of his other friends were setting up. The shower started at 3 and it was just 2:30. Arielle had just got back with balloons and other decorations. "I've been running around like a chicken without its head." She tells me. "I know. I'm so sorry. I appreciate you so much!" I tell her. "Girl, don't apologize. My best friend is carrying my Godchild. You know I got you. Plus I know you would do the same for me." She says to me. I smiled. "You know I will!" I assure her. Arielle and Brandon have been tryna have a baby for a while.
*2 Hours Later*
Not a lot of people showed up but it was still such an amazing time. Everybody was in the living room while watching me open gifts. We were naming the baby Skylar Melody Alsina. August picked out her middle name. Anyway, I opened a pretty pink box and inside was a huge sign that spelled out the baby's whole name. It was pink and white in cursive writing. "This is so cute!" I screeched. I read the card out loud. "From Auntie Marsha and Uncle Travis. Thank you Auntie Marsha!" I said. Uncle Travis was at work. "You're welcome,baby. It's custom made,too!" She said. I put it back in the bag and handed it to August. I continue to open more gifts. Arielle bought some clothes for Skylar. There were just so many gifts it warmed my heart. My princess was already so spoiled and she wasn't even here yet. My emotions were everywhere at this point. At 6:00, people were starting to leave. "Thank you so much for coming!" I said to my favorite cousin, Shyanne. She flew all the way out from Chicago just for my baby shower so you know I had to thank her personally. I gave her a big hug. "Anything for my favorite cousin. You know I wouldn't miss it for the world." She tells me. "When are you going back to Chicago?" I wanted to know. "Tomorrow morning." She says. "Aw,okay. Well thank you so much for the gifts. I love them!" I said. She got me so many cute outfits for Sky. "No problem,love. When are you due?" Shyanne wanted to know. "June." I tell her. "Wow, 2 more months left." Shy says. I smiled. "Yeah,I'm just so ready for her to get here!" I say,rubbing my belly. "I can only imagine. How do you like being pregnant?" Shyanne wanted to know. "To be completely honest, I actually enjoyed being pregnant." I say. "Really? Me too. If I could do it all over again I would." She says, rubbing my belly. Shyanne was 25 and had a 3 year old son named Caleb. "You know, Shy, you could always try again. I know Caleb wants a sibling." I tell her. She laughed. "Girl, Caleb is 3 years old. He don't know what he want." She says. "But I know what you want." I say. My cousin Shyanne and Caleb's father, Tray have been tryna have another baby for a little over a year now. They've literally tried everything in the book. My cousin is such a good mother to Caleb, and she's just an overall good person. I hope she gets what she wants. She honestly deserves it.
~Later that night~
"August,can you come here please?" I shouted. I was in bed, watching Love and Hip Hop: New York. It was now 9:00 and guests left over 2 hours ago. August came strolling in the room 10 minutes later. "Yes,baby?" He says,sitting on the bed. "Can you get me something to drink,please?" I asked. "What you want to drink?" He said. "Some apple juice." I say,rubbing my belly. August stood back up and left the room. These past 7 months he has been nothing but supportive and so helpful. Sky isn't even here yet but she's already so lucky to have him. I reached for the remote to change the channel, but when I reached for it, it fell on the floor. I sighed loudly. "I'm not getting out of this bed." I say to myself. About 20 minutes later, August comes back with a glass of apple juice. "Here you go,my queen." He said. "Thank you,baby." I say to him. He sat on the bed, then reached towards me to rub my belly. "How you feeling?" He questioned. Sky was kicking vigorously. "Babygirl is kicking! But I'm fine." I said. It was complete silence for about 10 minutes. "Baby,I think we should get married." August blurted out. I almost choked on my juice. "You said what?" I said. Aug smiled and grabbed my hand. "We should get married,baby!" He repeated. "I-I don't know Aug. You're not just saying that because of the baby,are you?" I said. I love August more than anything and yes, I would love to marry him. But I would hope he wouldn't marry me just because he got me pregnant. He made a face. "Of course not. Baby, from the moment I first laid eyes on you I knew I wanted to be with you forever." He tells me. "Really?" I said. "Yes! And I know it sounds crazy cause I was with Asia. But I was so blind. I knew it was you that I wanted all along. I just didn't say anything because I didn't wanna ruin the bond we had." He goes on. My emotions were everywhere at this point. "Aw,baby!" I say,rubbing his face. "You've taught me so much and I appreciate you so much!" Aug says. I was crying like a big ass baby. "August,you're so sweet. I appreciate you,too!" I said. August digs in his pocket. Suddenly he pulls out a small velvet box and opens it. Inside is a beautiful diamond ring.
