Feel Good (Laurmani)

Lauren's pov

I woke up to Normani, naked, in the mirror.

"Babe, I'm getting fat. Look, my arms are getting huge."

I chuckled, "you're growing a person extra weight is completely normal. You're still beautiful either way. Don't ever think different."

"Aww thanks babe," she blushed, "you always find a way to make me happy again." She then leaned over and kissed me.

I smiled, "you know we get to see whether it's a boy or a girl tomorrow right?"

"How could I forget," she chuckled. "It's been on my mind ever since he told me.

"Well what do you hope for?" I asked. "I hope for a boy but if it's a girl that's fine."

"Just think about it, his games, sneaker shopping, taking him to actual games. Teaching how to get the ladies, oh yeah." I said then laughed, which made Normani join. "Having a daughter, damn think about it. Nail dates, hair dates, shopping, teaching her how to be a woman. Omg I just can't wait to have this child!"

It made me happy to see Normani so excited to have our baby. I'm finally making my family, and it's with the love of my life.

"Oh damn, it's time for me to go to work. We can finish the conversation when I get home okay babe?" She then nods and I kiss her and run to the bathroom and get ready.

"I hate to say this but I actually enjoy April being here." Nya said reluctantly, taking her eyes out of her computer.

My eyes widened in shock, "really? What makes you say that?"

She takes off her glasses, "she's nice, and she gives me absolutely no problems while the others are always nagging or arguing with each other. The damn employees can't even handle them. She evens talks to some of them and helps me calm them down, it's unbelievable!"

"Don't be naive, she might just be trying to earn your trust. Never trust a junkie. Plus if the employees can't do their job, fire them."

"Damn, someones fierce." Nya says then scrunches her nose. I chuckle, "I don't trust her. Never have and I never will." I then pull out my phone and call Normani, she doesn't answer. I try again, same result.

"Aww man, she must be sleep. I'll try her again in a few hours. Let's say we close for a few, you can help me run a few errands."

"Wait why are we here? Walmart was a block up."

I didn't tell Nya, but me and Normani are taking a trip to the Bahamas in September, it'll be about three months after she gives birth, so she should be able to go. Me and Normani haven't been able to enjoy ourselves in a while so this should be a good opportunity.

"I'm pre-ordering these tickets to the Bahamas, it's in September but they're cheaper and now that I have a child, I need to focus on him or her and not anything else." I paid for the tickets then turned to Nya.

"You are gonna be an awesome mother, Lauren," she said then hugged me. "You need a babysitter? I'm not going to be doing anything around that time until Christmas. I'm going to the Bahamas in the summer, and it's y'all vacation. I'd be happy to spend two weeks with my godson or goddaughter."

"Don't say it like that you could've came if you wanted to. Well, I was gonna ask Normani's mom but yeah you can watch the baby." I said, which made Nya happy. "Yay!" She screamed, which made me laugh. We then run the actual errands, grab some food and then head back to the center.

I try to call Normani, once again no answer. This isn't like her to not answer her phone. I try again, and I finally get an answer.

"Damn, babe I called you four times are you okay?" I said.

"M'am this is Dr.Reegan, is this the girlfriend of Normani Hamilton?"

My heart dropped. Why is a doctor answering her phone?

"Yes this is her. What happened to her?!"

"Her mother called 911, she came home and Normani was unresponsive, I suggest that you head to St. Joseph's right now."

I then hung up. "I gotta go," I quickly grab my keys and my purse. "Where you going?" Nya yelled as I ran out. "Normani's in the hospital, cover for me please. I'll call you in an hour." I said as I got on the elevator.

Damn, am I gonna lose another family?!
