Ch.17 Baby Girl

GIA'S POV.

It's Saturday morning and I wake up to my phone ringing. I check the time and it's 10 am. Um, I went to sleep at 4 am last night, WHY am I awake right now.

"Hello?" I answer SO tired. "Aye what are you doing?" Anthony asks. I scrunch my eyebrows. "Um, sleeping" I tell him.

"You wanna come to my little sisters baby shower today?" He asks. I sit up.

"Today??" I ask him. "Yeah starts at 2" he tells me. I smack my lips. "And you're barely telling me this now Gunner?? I don't even have a gift" I tell him.

He laughs.

"That's why I'm telling you early so you can go buy one, oh yeah it's a girl" he says. "Alright well thanks" I say sarcastically.

"I'll pick you up at 2:30, alright?" He says. "Okay, see you later" I say then hang up.

I groan and get up so I can go to Target and get a gift.

I just throw on some shorts, a tank top, and flip flops, and since I'm hungover and tired I put on some sunglasses and put my hair into a ponytail.

I love to baby shop.

Not just because I was once pregnant, but because I really do like it.

Babies are cute, and their clothes are so small and cute.

Especially the girl ones.

I got her a lot of stuff. A zebra print blanket, 3 little outfits, 5 bow head bands, a pack of 6 bottles, and 2 pairs of little ballerina shoes, one is a light pink and the other is white.

I'm not gonna lie, I feel like going to the baby shower is gonna really hit a soft spot inside me.

Especially since I was having a girl too.

But I'm not gonna let that bug me. I was torn apart by my miscarriage for a long time. I'm way better now.

When I get back home I put the gifts in a baby shower gift bag and all that then start getting ready.

I feel gross my last night so I shower.

Then I blow dry my hair and straighten it and braiding my bangs to the side and start doing my makeup.

I put on a strapless floral print romper and gold sandals to match.

I spray some perfume and put on some lip gloss then Manny calls me.

"Aye Gunner's here" he tells me. "Oh okay" I say as I grab my phone and gift.

I go downstairs to the front door and Manny follows.

"What time are you coming home?" He asks. "I don't know I'll text you" I tell him trying to get him off my ass.

"You better come home Gia don't try to fucking sleep over there or I'll drive over there myself and get you got it?" He tells me.

I roll my eyes. "Okay Manny!" I say walking outside.

I walk up to Anthony's car and get in.

"What's up mamas" he says looking me up and down. I do the same.

Not only does his cologne smell bomb but he looks bomb.

He's wearing a white t-shirt, dark blue jeans, black and white Vans, and a Chicago Bulls SnapBack.

"Hey" I say to him as I get in the car. "You look good for this being last minute" he says.

"Thanks, I just wish you would've told me sooner, I'm, pretty nervous" I tell him awkwardly.
