Ella's POV
Dear diary, 11-13
I'm laying here trying to relax but it's hard because I got so big in the past 3 weeks. The doctor told me it's because she's getting ready to come. I'm scared but excited at the same time. Chris even more nervous than I am, he say he scared that he might drop her. I don't know why he think that, but I guess that's just him being his crazy ass self.
Other than that everything between us been going smooth. We just can't decide on a baby name! I wanted something cute and simple like Aaliyah but he said he wants something musical. I think I might let him pick.
I put my pen down when my phone vibrated. I looked down and Chris had texted me. Melody he said.
What? I replied.
Melody, that's the baby's name
🙄Wya
Otw home now. Yo fat ass need anything?
Fuck u. Ice cream pls
Aight
I got up and went to the bathroom to shower. Just as I was about to step in the tub I got a sharp pain. I screamed and started breathing hard. Eventually the pain went away and I managed to ignore it so I could shower.
I changed into some pajamas and laid down. I laid there rubbing my belly for a while until Chris walked in with Wal-Mart bags.
"Hey baby." he leaned down and kissed me.
"I'm in pain." I said grabbing the Cookies & Cream ice cream and a spoon of the nightstand.
"Not in too much pain to eat up all my damn ice cream I see." he rolled his eyes.
"Shut up." I threw a water bottle at him.
He laughed and took his shirt off. He laid down and I sat on top of him.
"You done got heavy."
"Maybe I wouldn't be heavy if you woulda used a condom."
He smacked his teeth. "You the one who kept moaning. Deeper daddy!" he faked moaned.
"Shut up Chris!" I said getting irritated.
He laughed. "I'm just saying."
I sat up and took deep breaths. "You good mama?" he said standing up.
"Chris I think she finna come."
"Aight calm down, lay down." he said.
I watched as he grabbed our hospital bags, the baby's bag, her car seat, some snacks and his phone.
"I'm finna go to the car, I'll be right back." he said. I nodded and took deep breaths until he got back.
"You ready?" he looked at me and I nodded.
He grabbed both of my hands and I slowly started to cry. "Chris I'm scared."
"Don't be scared, you got me right here remember?"
"Mhm." I nodded.
He pulled me up and as soon as I stood up my water broke. "Fuck." he said picking me up.
He carried me down the stairs and the pain started to get worse and worse. He sat me on a towel and hopped in the car.
"Only a ten minute drive, okay?" he said.
I nodded and grabbed his hand. I sighed and closed my eyes. "Chris?"
"Yeah?"
"Melody."
