I had to be easy for the next couple days and weeks

I had to be easy for the next couple days and weeks. I was still trying to wrap my head around everything Amour did while I was in a coma.

I limped into the kitchen holding Noel "What you cooking?"

She rushed to my side helping me get to the barstool "Rashad you know you not supposed to be doing all this moving or holding Noel. She's heavy"

"I can hold my daughter" i said back smiling. I took a seat at the island standing Noel up on the counter "feel like I ain't seen my baby girl in forever"

I kissed on her cheeks and she giggled.

Amour stirred the pot "I'm making baked Tilapia topped with Shrimp and a sauce with Mashed potatoes"

"Sounds really good" I said looking at her

She turned to face me just staring at me.

"Rashad. I care about you and love you. But things do not change between us." She breathed out lowly "You still cheated on me, and though my feelings are hurt, I still love you and want to make sure you are okay."

I knew this topic was coming up.

"You will stay in the guest room" she added "Things are just like normal. I'm still here for you for all you doctors appointments and all that"

I nodded "I understand"

I knew we'd still have this issue on the table once things died down. I respect and accept what she wants to do because she stood by my side the entire time.

She made a bottle for Noel and fixed my plate sitting it infront of me. She took Noel outta my hands.

"Come on mama lets let Daddy eat" She bounced Noel in her arms while feeding her

"You don't wanna sit and eat?" I asked her

She nodded "Ill eat eventually after I put Noel down for a nap. I got some things to do on my laptop for Talia's photo shoot"

I continued to eat and it was just an awkward silence between us. I hated it.

"I'll take her" I said to Amour as she was headed up to Noel's nursery

She raised her eyebrow "You sure?"

"I was shot, I'm not paralyzed" I joked

She chuckled lowly handing a sleeping Noel to me. I walked slowly up to her nursery. I laid her in the crib and sat down in the rocking chair.

I laid my head in my hands. My life took a wrong turn and fast. I almost slept with some hoe and I was shot at. I don't know how to get back on track from all this.

I got up going in the guest room putting the sheets on the bed and then I called Ty.

"What's up?"
"Man I'm glad you home and good nigga"
"Nigga why did you let Amour do all that shit"
"Amour can handle her own. She was determined to get them niggas back. I tried to talk her out of it but she's hardheaded."
"Yeah I know she is"
"You know I would've never let her do no wild shit. Me and Trip had her back and made sure she was good. Amour may be soft around us but she is about her business"
"What about the club?"
"The shooting hurt us a lil bit but nothing we can't bounce back from. I got somebody coming to put new windows up"
"And what about Ant?"
"His funeral is Saturday afternoon. His mom said she'd let us know what time"
"Ite, they don't need nothing right?"
"Not right now. They got all they family but once shit die down, probably"
"Ite. Be safe lil nigga"
"Nigga YOU be safe Rashad"

We got off the phone and i took a shower and attempted to redress my wounds. I went downstairs to see a knocked out Amour laid out on the couch surrounded by her laptop and plate of food.

I scooped up the plate taking it to the sink to wash it. I came back and put a blanket over her and kissed her forehead.

"Goodnight Amour" I whispered "I love you"

"Night Rashad" She whispered back before turning over

I went back into my guest room and laid across the bed watching TV. Sleep hasn't been a thing for me since the shooting.

I looked on my laptop at engagement rings for Amour once things were back on track and some gifts to get her since her birthday was coming up.

Talia called me

"Hello"
"Hey cuz, how you feelin?"
"Straight. What you want?"
"Nigga i called to check on your scrawny ass"
"Oh facts" i chuckled
"You back at home oooor....."
"Yeah she got me in the guest room"
"Well at least your in the house cause with me you would've been in a tent on the balcony"
"Shut yo ass up"
"I'm just saaaaaaaying"
"Nigga get off my phone"
"Try to call to check up on Nigga and they get snappy. Bye Rashad"

I chuckled hanging up on her as I continued doing what I was doing.
