"You've been on my mind. I grow fonder of you everyday. Lose myself in time just thinking 'bout your presence. God only knows why I keep you in my memory, never failing to let you go. Maybe its because I can't over the fact that your really gone. Or maybe it's the fact I never got to say goodbye."

I'm gonna be a dad.
A father.
For as long as I could recall, I would've never thought, the title of father would've fit perfectly in my favor.
I wasn't the type you call "Father Material", at least I didn't feel like I was. But since I found out I was going to be one, I was willing to put my old ways behind me.
I stared at Dejas's ass as she opened a new package of hot cheetos and grabbed a fistful, shoving them into her mouth.
I smiled and sucked my tongue. That thing had turned from thick to colossal since her weight gain, due to her pregnancy.
"Heart been broke so many times I-"
"David shut up with that ugly ass song...fat ass nigga" Dejah spat, still turned around.
"Y'all stay on his neck" I advanced towards her.
"His heart broke cause they outta chicken sandwiches." Deja grumbled pulling out a packet of cream cheese from the cabinet.
"Move your hand." She ordered, I quickly sensed the chuckle in her voice and moved my hand from her left butt cheek to the right and back to the left.
"Nigga, not back and forth!" She whined and pushed my hand away and laughed.
She turned around to embrace me in a hug and I kissed her temple and I swung her off her feet in bridal style, carrying her into the living room.
"David, put me down!!!! Your gonna drop me!!" She screamed as I held her tighter.
"Stop allat damn screamin." I looked into her dark stoned eyes and stared into them,
"I would never drop my wife or my child. understand."
She smirked and rolled her eyes, trying to avoid everything I just said.
"You dropped me on our wedding day." She mumbled bitterly.
I bit my lip, thinking back to the time when I attempted to carry Deja into our new house after our wedding and dropped her straight on the concrete when I was trying to open the door.
"Dat' don't count...my keys dropped" I huffed.
"I still have the scar." She pointed to almost unnoticeable scratch on the top of her forehead.
"Listen to me, I ain't gonna drop you."
She twisted her mouth into a sour look.
"Ight." She said jokingly.
I cupped her ass harder, making her scream.
"Do you understand." I implied again.
She gulped out a "yes" through sparks of laughter.
"Say yes daddy." I teased.
She raised a brow, "nigga no, now put me down."
She thought I was playing.
