A week later

I woke up Sunday morning at seven in the morning for a photoshoot I was doing for a local magazine company. It wasn't a big deal but the money was pretty good, though I wasn't struggling for money.

The first thing I did when I woke up was pray and thank God for my life and blessings. Prince was still asleep in his crib so I let him sleep while I got dressed.

Normally I'd have Mama B, Katara, or Darius babysit Prince while I worked but all of them were busy. Tylin was my back up plan but he had to go out of town for work.

I took a quick shower, brushed my teeth, and got dressed in some casual clothes.

After that, I pulled my hair up into a messy bun and I was finished. It made no sense for me to put on makeup or do anything special since the makeup artists for my photoshoot would redo everything.

I got Prince's diaper bag and made sure everything I needed was in there. I had diapers, wipes, plastic bags, two bibs, the outfit I picked out for him to wear, and an extra pair of clothes, his favorite pacifier and toys, baby food, and snacks.

He had a bath the night before so I didn't need to give him one. I figured I'd change him into his outfit for the day once I got to the location of my photoshoot. I wanted to let him sleep a little more.

The only thing left for his diaper bag was his milk. I was still breast feeding Prince but I also had him drinking baby formula as well to slowly get him used to it.

Going downstairs to my kitchen, I pulled out Prince's stroller from the garage and placed it in my car.

I walked back into my house and went to my fridge and pulled out five bottles of breast milk

I walked back into my house and went to my fridge and pulled out five bottles of breast milk.

They were placed in a small thermal compartment in the diaper bag for cold/warm baby bottles. Mama B got me the bag for Christmas last year and I'd been in love with it since.

Once that was done, I went back downstairs and changed Prince as he slept. In my opinion that's the best time to change children.

I was walking down the stairs with Prince in my arms when I felt my phone vibrate in my pocket.

Choosing to wait until I had Prince settled in the car, I ignored it. I quickly got Prince strapped in his car seat and got in the drivers seat after grabbing my keys and my bluetooth headpiece.

I saw that Chris was the one who had called so I called him back as I was driving to the photoshoot.

"Whatchu doin?" he asked me.

I hadn't heard much from Chris since he met my family the week before. I knew it was because he was busy working on music and taking care of damage control since it was discovered he had a child.

I personally didn't understand why people were so scandalized by him having a child, it's not like millions of guys everywhere don't have baby mamas.
