DELANO POV

I was sitting here just going through some photos of the kids and I. Missing Salem's birth and not fully being there was hard but it didn't stop me from taking a couple of pics with her. I'm happy gia and I agreed on having more kids after Kai. Don't know where this family would be without Salem around.

[i surprise myself on my editing skills]...

Salem has to be about five or six months in this picture. But from that day she hasn't let me go. Just trying to move pass the miscarriage and knowing I did all I could do to protect it. Speaking of Salem she walked into my office with her doll. She placed the doll on my desk.

"Isn't it nap time?" I asked. She shook her head. Gia came in "alrighty someone needs a nap!". Salem mean mugged her. "Yup, come on let's go!". She grabbed her doll and tried to move her little chubby legs as fast as she could. But Gia caught her. Hearing screams along with foot steps.

The door closed and Gia came in panting "Jesus it's like a work out". I was about to respond but I heard a little foot making its way to my office. "Salem I know you didn't come out the room!". You didn't see her but you know she was there. Gia turned the corner see her standing there. "This little girl!".

"You need a nap!" She said.

"No?!" She screamed.

"That's it! Let's go" she said. Salem ran from her and back into her room. Gia locked the door from the outside. Locking her inside. "Now take a nap!" She yelled through the door. Salem screamed at the top of her lungs. Raising my brow "maybe she's not tired".

"Delano you are too soft when it comes to Salem. She has to learn she don't run shit here" she said.

"I doubt she'll take a nap" I said.

"With all that crying and extra shit. She won't have a choice" she said.

"Well since she's taking a nap. That leaves us to have some alone time" I said. Gia looked a little hesitant to even give into me. "Unless you're not ready. You know with what happened and all".

"I'm ready... it's just what if we happen to get pregnant again?" She asked.

"Well then we make sure this time to find out early so we can take whatever measures we have to to protect it" I said. Moving her hair out of the way I leaned down and kissed her. I haven't had my wife in  a while. That connection we shared was in need. We had about a good two hours before one of us had to go pick up the other two.

"Oh snap we can use our bed too" Gia smiled.

"Remind me we put Salem in her room tonight" I said. She smiled before we christened our bed once again.

GIA POV

It felt good to be intimate with my husband. He never fails to please me. Actually he's never ever failed to please me. Don't let Delano fool you. White boy got rhythm.

Salem finally woke up from her nap that she fought me on. But now she wasn't paying me any mind. She's still mad she didn't get her way. She'll survive. I went outside to check the mail. A few bills and one letter. Opening the letter I read the paper.

It said that the appointment I was suppose to go to was to check for pregnancy. From the last blood test I did that the doctor suspected I was pregnant. On the back of the paper in red it said "NOW YOU KNOW WHAT IT FEELS LIKE".

Delano walked behind me seeing what was in my hand. He grabbed the paper and looked at me "she can't be serious?!".

"Yup she is... I'm just so tired of this bullshit" I grabbed my keys and bag. He ran after me "Look don't go doing anything stupid. That's what she wants. Just let this play out". Staring at Delano knowing I was just on his perfect face moments before... "are you sure? Cause I can go get her and give her street justice".

"Gia, no! Come back inside" he said. Sucking my teeth I walked inside the house putting my things down. "You can go around beating her up but it won't do anything".

"She killed our baby... that's the least you can let me do" I said.

"It won't help. If anything let her come to you. That way criminal wise you can't get in trouble" he said.

"Ah, smart man. Oh I saw Bria's dad at the doctors yesterday. I know he's an doctor but he doesn't work over on that side. Anyway he was on the floor. He tripped over something and ended up spraining his ankle. Crazy how karma works".

Delano laughed "See let the universe do the justice you need. I wonder why he was there?".

I shrugged "Beats me". Looking at the clock I saw it was time to get going to pick up Ryan and kai. "Are you going or..."

"You can go. I trust you won't do anything to crazy" he said. I smiled "good". Little did he know... waving bye I got in my car and sped off.
