Over a month later

Everning of Award Dinner...

Cree Daniels

"Soo...what was the dress code again, babe? Dressy casual or what?" I yelled out from the bathroom as I attempted to pull up the nude strapless body shaper I had. I don't know why I was even trying. This bump wasn't going anywhere.

By now, I was well over the three-month mark of my pregnancy. And it was showing. I wasn't ashamed of it or anything, I just wanted to smooth things out so I wouldn't look sloppy in the dress I was wearing this evening. This was going to be a big deal for me and Chris because....we still hadn't announced that we were expecting. Take this as the big reveal.

"uh...the invite said BLACK TIE so...get fancy, babygirl."

I could hear him moving around the room. I'm guessing to get himself together. After a few minutes, I finally got the body shaper on and started to finish putting on some light makeup.

"Aye, you seen my ha-" Chris started to ask, barging in to see what I was doing. He looked me up and down. "Cree...what the fuck is that?"

"Hm?" I said, looking at him then at what I had on. "Oh. It's a shaper. To hold everything in. Get it right, get it tight."

Chris just laughed. "Hold it in? Baby...ain't no holding that speed bump in if you tried. Take that off."

I just shook my head, going back to putting on my eyeliner. "Nope."

"What you trying to hide? They gone see it whether you like it or not. What? You don't want nobody to know you carrying my seed?" He said, frowning up.

I just smacked my lips. "I swear, if I mess up this eyeliner....NO, Chris. I just don't wanna look like a slob in my dress. Now GONE. Let me finish getting ready."

He smacked his lips, twisting his mouth up. "Man..aight. I just gotta get my jacket. But just for the record...you could be as big as a whale and still look good in anything, baby. Don't play yourself."

I laughed a little, looking at him though the mirror. "yea, okay. Get OUT."

"I'll be waiting for you outside. Slow poke."

He left out, shutting the door behind him. I got dressed about 15 minutes later, looking at my phone for the time. 5:32. We were good. As long as we made it there by 6pm, we wouldn't be late. I had finally got my dress on, checking myself out in the mirror.
