Ar'mon Josiah Singleton

Feburary 3rd I gave birth to my healthy baby boy.  Its been a week since I've had him.

Devin and I finally moved into our own apartment. We got it furnished and the nursery is all set.

I sat in my rocking chair as I watched Ar'mon sleep

I sat in my rocking chair as I watched Ar'mon sleep. I looked in his face and noticed that familiar nose. I felt my eyes water as I examine him. He only had James's eye color and nose....Thank God my genes are strong.

Then I heard the door creep open. I wiped my tears and turned to see Devin.

"Hey baby," he said as he wrapped his arms around me. "My little man."

I smiled and pecked his lips. "Are you alright? You've been in here all day. You need anything?" He asked as he kissed my cheek and pulled me in his arms.

I nodded. "I'm fine, just adjusting." I said as I laid on his shoulder.

Devin finally left the nursery. I followed behind and went to my bathroom. I shut the door and stood by the sink. My breathing was getting out of wack. And my mind was racing.

I felt my breathing pick up lightly as I looked at myself in the mirror.  I went through my cabinet and grabbed my Adderalls. I took two and gulped it down.

I laid in my bed and tried to calm myself down.

I found myself falling asleep as I heard my baby's cry. I jumped up and ran to his nursery but I found Kyle standing there rocking him.

"Hey nephew," He said. "You're a blessing you know that? Imma make sure you straight. Youre gonna have all the polo fits, the best sneakers, and I might buy you a chain just like mine." He finished as he smiled.

I smiled as I watched the two of them. Then I felt Devin's presence behind me.

I turned around and wrapped my arms around his neck. "I love you baby."
