MUST BE LOVE

Chapter 100

Chris' POV

It was Friday  & I was just coming home from the barbershop. It  was about 8 at night cause I stayed over. Imani stayed home from work with Kennedi because she wasn't feeling well. She has a runny nose & little cough

"Does daddies baby feel better," I said scooping Kennedi from Imani's arms

"She feels a little better. But all she wanted me to do was hold her all day. You know my baby usually be crawling around, talking & playing," Imani said kissing Kennedi's fat little cheeks

"Did you take her to the doctor, like you said," I asked sitting down on the couch

"Yea, he said its just a regular mild cold & to give her some childrens medicine & keep her hydrated," she replied 

"Daddy don't like when his baby don't feel good," I said as Kennedi looked up at me sucking her pacifier. Sometimes she takes its while sometimes she spits it out

"Mommy don't like it either, but I'm bout to bathe her, give her some medicine & a bottle to put her to bed. She's been fighting her naps all day too so I know she's tired," Imani said taking her from me

Imani got Kennedi ready fro bed & put her to sleep while I went to take a shower in the other bathroom. Then she came back in the living room with me & she had the baby monitor

"Come here. what's wrong with daddy's other baby," I asked motioning for her to come here

"Nothing, I'm just tired cause she had me up all night last night. Then like I said she would not let me put her down at all today. She cried every time I did," she said laying on me

"I got her tonight, so you can get some rest. But what did you eat today," I asked while rubbing her back & I know I was putting her to sleep

"I ain't really ate since this morning, cause she been on my hip all day. Chasity had her for a quick second while I took a shower when she came home from school, but then she left to spend the weekend at a friends house," she told me

"I'm bout to go make us a sandwich & some chips cause I'm hungry too," I said patting her butt

I went & made us something to eat. I hooked the cold cuts up with all the fixing but Imani gotta fuck shit up cause she don't want the mayo or tomatoes. I should have made her eat it Annie Mae

"That was good babe," she said drinking my juice I brought in for me

"I know, now give me my damn juice before you drink it all. I didn't bring this in here for you," I said taking my cup from her

"I know you're not talking cause you eat & drink everything I have. That was so selfish of you not to bring me any to drink," she said

"No it wasn't, cause you lucky I brought you food Annie Mae," I joked downing my juice

"Don't make me beat yo ass like she did Ike in the limo," she said

"She fucked him up, but you really ready to marry a nigga like me. I mean there are so many other niggas out there you probably could have. But you said yes to me & had my seed," I asked looking at her

"I know there are plenty other niggas out there I could have, but I don't want them other niggas. I want you. No you're not perfect. Yes you're thuggish on the low but I that's what I love about you. Like you always say, you're not like these other niggas out here. I just pray when we get married none of that changes," she said

"Nope cause I'm just a real nigga, believe dat," I said

"That damn accent came out, I love it," she said squeezing her legs together
