Cierra
"That's Nan's baby. Hi handsome man, hi handsome man." My mom said speaking to Noah.
I smiled watching them smile at each other as she kissed his little belly. She was waiting for him to wake up this morning and soon as she heard him cry while I was changing him she rushed in ready to see her baby.
I was scared me and my mom's relationship would never be the same, but ever since I had Noah a month ago we are closer than ever.
She was so disappointed in me getting pregnant so young as she should have been, but she loves the hell out of her grandson.
"Can you watch him while I take a shower?" I asked her.
"Yeah go ahead." She said.
"Make sure you are supporting his head." I heard my mom say as I came back into my room after showering and Devin was sitting on my bed holding Noah.
"He just staring at me." Devin said.
"He looking like these crazy people love me so much." I said.
"We surely do." My mom said gently rubbing her hand over Noah's head.
Later Devin's dad came to pick him up and called me down to see Noah.
"Cierra, you sure this baby yours?" Darrien joked while holding Noah since he looks so much more like Mike.
"That's my baby alright he just look like the cute version of his ugly daddy."
"You sure are your mother's child." Darrien said laughing.
"Darrien, shut it." My mom said.
I grabbed my phone when it started ringing to answer it.
"Yo, I wanna come see the baby."
"Who's this?" I asked
"Jigz."
"Oh, come thru whenever I'm here." I said.
"Aight, I'm around this way so I'll be there in like 10."
"Okay." I said back before hanging up.
He showed up just as Darrien and Devin were leaving.
"Who you?" Darrien asked.
"That's my family." He said pointing towards me and Noah.
"That's Mike's brother relax." I said.
Jigz spoke to my mom and Aunt before going to wash his hands to hold Noah.
"Damn this little baby is really real." Jigz said making me laugh.
"Damn he still so small. Should I be holding him? It feels like he'll break." He said.
"You're fine and so is he." I said.
"What's up with you and my brother? Yall good?" He asked.
"Yeah we are good, why did he tell you to ask me that?"
"No." He said chuckling.
"Sure." I said.
"He didn't, but I'm trying to help the idiot out if he still got a chance." He said and all I did was shrug.
"He told you I snapped out on him a couple weeks back?" I asked.
I had a moment and snapped out on him thinking about the situation all over again and how this bitch knew about us and didn't care. Thinking I'm not pregnant anymore and I can beat your ass and her ass, but I had to recollect myself.
