Emani POV

"Rodney stop leaving the damn toilet seat up!" I yelled at him from the bathroom. I let it down and sanitized it. "can we go get some baby stuff now? Or at least go looking." I said walking out of the bathroom. "We don't even know the gender yet." He said making the bed. "So I can get colors for boys and girls like yellow or grey." I said shrugging my shoulders. "You can't wait? Like until we know the gender which it's next week." He said. "Nooo please I can't." I said as he laughed. "You got a couple more  weeks and we can go get whatever you want for the baby." He said holding my waist. I looked at the unborn baby fruit chart on the wall and it says the baby is the size of an avocado. "Ok at least a white crib?" I asked him as he finally gave in and grabbed his keys. "Ight But don't be tryna go over board." He said grabbing his keys as I smiled and strutted out of the room. "Come on Rodney and we gotta go check up on Mia." I said walking down stairs. "Bae we need to talk." He stopped me from opening the door. This oughta be good.

Rodney POV
What I'm about to tell her is about to piss her off but I have no choice. "Oh gosh what is it now Rodney?" She asked smiling at me. "I'm serious I need you listen." I told her holding her hands. "Omg I know this feeling. I don't really like it." She said sitting down. "No I'm not breaking up with you." I said laughing at her.  "Oh thank god." She said smiling. "What is it?" She asked. "I'm going back out." I said as she looked at me confused. "Whatchu mean out?" She asked. "I'm going back to selling but it ain't gone be that far." I said as she slammed her phone on the table. "The fuck are you saying to me right now? I'm not about to deal with this." She said standing slowly. "Emani I'm only doing this to keep shit paid." I said as she stood in front if me. "Get a real fucking job then you said you didn't want me to work and now I'm not and now you going back to the streets. And plus I make money by taking pictures, by social media doing nothing find something like that." She yelled. "Yo calm down before you stress yourself out." I told her sitting her back down but she slapped me. I looked at her as she mugged the fuck outta me. "Keep ya hands off of me I'm not gone say that shit again." I said standing up straight. "Fuck you, you wanna go out and be a dumbass you go right a head just know I'm not gonna stay with you." She said standing up. "Fuck you mean you ain't staying? You got me fucked up if you think you gone leave me." I said grabbing my keys. "And you got me fucked up if you think I'm staying. We have a fucking baby on the way and you putting your life back in danger for some money. You gone leave just like you used too." She said standing up walking towards the door. "I ain't going no where and you ain't either." I said to her as she flicked me off. "I'm not about to have my baby around danger or dangerous people. What if I need you to watch the baby while I'm doing business LEGAL business? Huh? Whatchu gone do take em to the trap? Hell no." She yelled punching her fist. She made a good point but what she ain't understanding is I'm doing this for us, our family to keep us straight.  "You not understanding I'm not doing this for myself I'm doing this so our family can be financially stable." I said tryna hugged her but she put her fist up. "Don't touch me." She said crossing her arms giving me the death stare. I grabbed her anyway. "You're fucking stupid. Get out of me face." She said not looking at me. "I'm doing this for us like it or not." I said kissing her lips even though she ain't kiss me back. How the fuck I'm supposed to get a real job with my record. Shit ain't clean. She moved me out of the way going outside.

Emani POV

No matter how much this nigga go through he turn back to the streets. I shook my head going outside calling Chyna. "Hey babe." She answered. "Where you at?" I asked her. "Home what's up?" She asked. "You wanna go nursery shopping?" I asked her. "Aww hell yea." She said making me smile. "Ok I'll be there to pick you up in a little." I said to her.  "Alright seeya then." She said before hanging up. I got up going back inside to get my keys from the room. "Come here bae." He said standing up. I kept walking all the way upstairs to the room grabbing my purse and my keys. I went back stairs to him standing at the bottom of them. "Where you going?" He asked looking at me. "With Chyna excuse me." I said but he still stood there. "Emani don't act like that." He said pulling me to where we were chest to chest. I tried to push myself off of him but he didn't loosen his grip. "Let me go please She waiting for me to pick her up." I said still trying to get loose. "She can wait, talk to me." He said as I tried looking around him. "I don't feel like talking Rodney let me go do I can go get her." I said quietly as he let go and I walked passed him. "I love you." He said as I closed the door behind me. I got into my car that I haven't drove in forever started it driving out of the driveway way heading to Chyna's house. The ride there wasn't that long but when I finally got there she was outside waiting. I rolled down the window. "Hey sexy!" I said as she smiled getting in the car. "We almost got on the same outfit." She said laughing. I had on a baggy dolphins jersey and she had on a gators jersey.  "Great minds think alike." I said pulling off going to Kmart. "Girl I need to vent." I said sighing. "I'm listening baby." She said turning the music down. "So this nigga going back to dealing." I said as Chyna mouth dropped. "Oh lawd that mean Trav bout to try and go back too." She said throwing her head back. "It's gone be high school all over again." She said shaking her head. "Right and I'm telling him if he get back in that shit I'm leaving period. I'm not about to have my baby and danger and plus he's never gonna be home." I told her as she nodded. "Right, that ain't gone work." She said. "Honestly bestie I'm about to give up and just do it by myself." I told her shaking my head. "No the hell you ain't. You got me and trust me he ain't gone let you do it on your own I know that for a fact that man loves you he done been to all your appointments he let you move in and he going crazy by just telling him you gone leave him. That's love there." She said. "Yea But still if he really wanted to help out he would get a legal job." I explained to her as she rolled her eyes. "Girl you really think he could get a real job with his record?" She scoffed. That never really crossed my mind at all but there is still plenty of other things he could do. "True but still it's more stuff out there legal stuff." I said as we pulled into the parking lot. "You right but that's all they know." She said shrugging her shoulders as we got out. "Anyways new subject what color crib I should get?" I asked her grabbing a cart going straight to the baby section. "Ooo good question, get a color for a boy or a girl since we don't know the gender yet. "I supposed to be doing this with my baby daddy." I joked poking my lip out. "Girl I am yo baby daddy." Chyna said in a man voice causing me to buss out laughing. "Oh my gosh you a mess Chyna I swear." I  said laughing. "Ooo what about this grey?" She said pointing at the nice matte grey crib with drawers at the bottom of it. "This one is beautiful the search is over." I said as she helped me put it in the cart. "You should really tell the people you pregnant now." Chyna said out of no where. "Ima just post my ultrasounds now." I said taking out my phone. Hell, why not. I posted my ultrasound with the caption. "I've been hiding for too long from y'all and this is the reason why thanks to everyone whose been supporting me from day one and I hope you still do #newedtion 🤱🏽" I posted it and instantly my pine starter blowing up with loving comments from my people saying how excited they are. "Well that's done everybody knows now." I said smiling at Chy as she hugged me. "Beware for the hating hoes." She said. "Girl I could care less about them." I told her waving it off. "Aww we should get this cute  shelf too it matches the crib." I said point at it. "Alright Rodney gone kick your ass." She said making me laugh. "Fuck him." I said laughing as she laughed. We made our way to the cashier and paid for the two items that came up to 536 which isn't bad. "Alright let's go." I said rolling he cart outside. Carlos called my phone but I didn't answer, so he called Chy's phone. "Hello?" She answered gently. "You with Emani?" He asked her as she put him on speaker. "Why What happened?" She acted clueless. "Man the rumor true she just posted about her being pregnant." He said sounding down. "Oh that yea." Chyna said. "Have her call me whenever you talk to her Ight?" He said as she looked at me. "Ok I will seeya." Chyna said before hanging up. "Damn I forgot about him." I said driving back to my place. "Keep forgetting baby your happiness come first remember." She said as I shook my head. Well it's out now no turning back. We made it to the house with the stuff and I noticed Rodney car was gone.  I sighed rolling my eyes. "You want me to stay with you and set up the stuff?" Chyna asked me as I nodded. "Yes you're the best baby daddy ever." I joked with her as she laughed. "You got it babe." She said in her man voice.  It never gets old. We took the things out of the trunk one by one into the house. There was an extra room directly across from our bed room which made a person nursery. "Aww it's the perfect size." Chyna said unboxing the crib first. "I'll be right back." I said walking downstairs dialing Rodney's number. It ringed a couple of times and went straight to voicemail. I called again and the same thing happened. I went back upstairs the the babys room with Chyna. I can already see where this is headed.
