Donald 'Devante Swing' DeGrate
We were back in New Jersey and getting ready for the baby shower, we both announced Alexandra having my baby a couple of weeks ago so it's been crazy. Asking for interviews and stuff, Alex didn't mind though she wanted some attention (Laughs). We had 'Vibe' magazine to be the only exclusive magazine for the baby shower so we were doing some photo shoots and getting ready for the shower as they were taking pictures of the setup and stuff it was a really nice day. K-Ci was on something cause he started singing forever my lady to Alex and she was laughing the whole time but it was so accurate though so I just went along with it.
So you're having my baby
And it means so much to me
There's nothing more precious
Then to raise a family
If there's any doubt in your mind
You can count on me
I'll never let you down
Lady, believe in me
You and I
Will never fall apart
You and I
We knew right from the start, baby, baby
The days
We fell so far in love
Now our baby is born
Healthy and strong
Now our dreams are reality

Alexandra 'H.E.R.' Crane
I was having a great time at the baby shower had family and friends over giving the baby gifts, making me laugh, making me cry just having a perfect time wishing mom and dad were here just glad that Mrs. and Mr. DeGrate are here to witness this special moment.
"The baby is almost here, what are you guys going to name him?" Rachel asked.
"We haven't really decided on a name yet," I said.
"Really?" Amerie questioned.
"Yeah, we just want to be in the moment to name him," I said as they nodded.
"Yeah we were naming the baby way back and we just couldn't figure out what name would fit our child," Devante said.
"We want a unique name, not a ghetto but unique it has to have a reason behind the name ya know," I said.
"I like that, whatever name you guys pick will be a nice name for him," Alyssa said with a smile.
I needed to use the bathroom so I went to the nearest one I could find and I was about to open the door that is when I heard someone sniffing on the other side of the door letting me know it was K-Ci so I knocked on the door.
"Who is it?" K-Ci answered.
"This is Alexandra and I really need to pee," I said.
"Aight be out in a sec," K-Ci said.
A few moments later that is when K-Ci open the door and I can just tell he was so out of it.
"You need to stop this, you doing this at my baby shower for god sake!" I said disappointed.
"I ain't tryna hear it," K-Ci said.
"If you ain't tryna hear it then stop doing it, you bastard," I said as I went into the bathroom locking the door doing my business.
I don't see how Alyssa is with him, he still didn't tell her about him using cocaine. It's sad that she doesn't know it's all behind closed doors, I want K-Ci to be careful I love him like a brother if anything happens to him I don't know what I would've done. So I got done doing my business and went back to my baby father Devante he looked up at me starting to smile making me smile as well, we have both just been happy lately and I love it our baby is almost here can't wait.
I think I got a name for him but I have to go by Devante first, but it's a good reason behind the name. The baby shower party was over as everyone started to leave we were both in the bedroom just laying on the bed I laid my head on his chest while he had his arms around me as he kissed my head making me smile.
"I think I have a name for him," I said.
"You do? Let me hear it?" Devante questioned.
He had his full attention on me as I laughed because his face was so serious but cute.
"How about Langston?" I questioned.
"I thought about Langston Hughes the writer and I'm like hey our son is going to be a very good writer in music-wise," I added.
"Langston DeGrate?" Devante questioned as he said the name out loud.
"I am feeling the name, I'm feeling the reason behind the name though no doubt about it." He added as I smiled.
"Alright, Langston it is!" I said as the baby kicked.
"He likes the name, he just kicked," I added as he laughed.
"Langston Alexander DeGrate." I said.
"Like the way you did that, you got something to represent you in his name. Langston represents us as writers, Alexander represents you by your name, and DeGrate represents me.. I like that." Devante said as I smiled.
"Thanks," I said with a smile.
Today was a good day, and I couldn't ask for a better day.
