MUST BE LOVE

Chapter 73

Imani's POV

I'm off of work again cause at my last doctor's visit she said my feet are swelling too much. So I need to rest & cut down on my sodium intake. Chris has been getting on my last nerves so I've been so mean to him. I've been in my feelings too cause I'm tired of being pregnant & I want my mommy

"Mommy," I said whining into the phone

"Yes Imani. Why are you whining," she said

"Cause I don't want to be pregnant no more & I miss you," I said starting to cry

"Imani, I know you are not on this phone crying you miss me. You still got 3 more months to go," she said

"I do, I want you here with me. I'm hurting, I'm fat & I have to pee every 5 minutes" I said sniffing wiping my tears

"Imani baby you're just emotional cause you're pregnant. But it will be all worth it in the end when the baby comes. I will be down there before you know it," she said making me feel a little better

"Ok, but can you FaceTime me later cause I want to see your face," I said serious cause I miss my mommy 

"Ok, I will soon as I get off work. But how have you been. Why are you calling me if you should be at work," she asked

"I'm not at work cause my doctor told me I need to rest. My feet are always swelling & Chris went somewhere so I'm here alone. I don't like it, plus I think he's mad at me because I yelled at him the other day. So he hasn't been talking to me. Now I feel bad cause it was over nothing " I said sniffing again 

"Mani you can't be yelling at him like that when he didn't do anything. He's a man he don't understand what you going through," she said

"I know, but sometimes he gets on my nerves. But I don't like when he ignores me either. I'm sleepy cause she moved all night & my back was hurting," I told her

"Go to sleep & I'll call you every so often to check on you & my grandbab. Elevate those legs & feet," she told me

"Ok, I love you mommy," I said

"I love you too baby girl. Now stop all that crying," she said

"Ok," I said before I hung up

I did what she said & got comfortable on the couch. I tried to go to sleep but I couldn't get comfortable. When I finally did somebody was knocking on the door

"Who is it," I asked yelling cause I really didn't feel like getting up

"Delivery for Imani Brown," the person said as I got up to open the door

I opened the door when I did the delivery guy had a bouquet of beautiful roses

"Are you Imani Brown," he asked

 "Yea that's me," I replied

"It looks like somebody really loves you or you have a secret admirer cause these beautiful roses are for you," he said handing me the vase but it was too heavy for me

"Can you please bring them in for me cause they are a bit heavy," I said opening the door wider for him

"Sure, don't need you carrying heavy stuff while your carrying precious cargo," he said bring then in sitting them on the dining room table

"Thank you," I said admiring the roses

"No problem its my job. I'm going to have you sign here," he said handing me his pad. "You have a nice day," he said walking out the door
