Lonely

P.12

"Babe, come help he wont stop crying." I said as I rocked Ar'mon back and forth.

Devin came in with his bottle and grabbed him. "What's wrong kiddo," as soon as he grabbed him Ar'mon got silent.  I plopped down in the rocking chair just watching as Devin fed him.

"Damn, he must not like me when he's upset." I mumbled. Devin looked up at me and shook my head. "Dont start Karmen."  I got up and rolled my eyes as I left the nursery. I went into my bedroom and slammed the door.

Today was a bad day for me, I was overwhelmed with Ar'mon, my schedule this week for work is busy so he had a doctor's  appointment, and I had no one to watch him afterwards. I was left to bring him with me to my shoot.

"Okay, okay..My baby has an appointment and I will be there shortly after okay? Alright alright. Bye." I said as I hung up the phone. 

I pulled up to the clinic and hopped out and grabbed Ar'mon. He was sound asleep but I know he's about to get mad.

He is now 2 months old and he was about to get his monthly check ups.

"Goodmorning Karmen how are you today??" The nurse said as she took us back. "Tired that's all." I said as I placed his carseat down and took him out.

"Hey mama baby," I said as I rocked him and kissed his forehead. She began examining Ar'mon and checked his breathing. "Everything is good. You're baby boy is doing great so far. Now we have to do shots." She explained.

I kept rocking him and kept him as calm as possible while the lady got the needles ready. I was nervous as hell but I kept it together for him.

"Ready? 1,2,3.." as she said three she plucked my baby and he instantly started screaming.

"Its okay baby, sh sh." I said calmly as I rocking him a little. "Alrighty, you guys have a great day." The nurse said as she put his bandage on.

I placed him in the carseat and we were out the door. 30 minutes later I made it to the photoshoot.

"Sorry, I'm late." I said as I rushed inside. "Oh my gosh your baby!" Laura said as she grabbed the carseat. "Wash your hands please, wheres my outfits??"

"In your room. Go ahead and get dressed. I'll keep watch of him." Laura said as she moved to a quieter area with Ar'mon.

I took about 10 photos for this fashion line that sold hair scarfs and I just did a shoot to add more to my portfolio. I picked two of my favorites to add to my portfolio. As I looked through the pictures, I heard my baby's cry.

"Excuse me, give me a second." I ran off and went to where him and Laura were. "What's wrong baby?" I said as I took him from Laura.

"I guess he's hungry or his stomach hurts. He was passing gas over here. Like a grown ass man." Laura joked. We both laughed. "Thank you." I said as I got his bottle and shook it up. I changed his diaper and then I fed him. 

I felt my body shutting down and I was doing off. "Karmen." I heard a deep voice call. I opened my eyes and it was Derrick.

He sat down next to me and he looked at me and Ar'mon. "You look tired Karmen, you sure you can continue the shoot? Family comes first."

"It's fine. I just woke up early for my baby. I'm good. Once I get him situated I'll be back on set I promise. Give me 5 minutes he's almost done." He gave me a look. "Alright." He said as he stood up and walked away.

I took a deep breath and by now Ar'mon was knocked out. I laid him in his carseat and waited for Laura to wash her hands to come watch him. I stood up and made my way to the dressing room to change.

I walked up to my set and I saw Derrik talking to someone. He turned to look at me and walked over. "Hey Karmen, I want you to meet my son. Delano..." When he said his name everything hit me at once. I looked up and Delano was standing there awkwardly. "We met pops, uh we went to school together. But I'm about to link with the boys, I'll talk to you later." He said as he rushed off.

I stood there shook. "Can we call it a day? I have to take my son home.." I said slowly as I avoided eye contact with Derrick.

"Sure, no problem. That's all today guys pack it up." He yelled making everyone scatter around the set.

I quickly got my jacket and placed the blanket over Ar'mon.

I walked out to my car and dropped my keys at what I saw.

"We need to talk," Delano said as he was leaning against my car.
