"Your pregnant?". Erik said somberly then said it once more. "Your pregnant!" He said with complete excitement! He jumped from the bed, and lifted me from the bed spinning me in circles. "I'm going to be a dad!"
"Erik" I giggled. "Oh my god". I laughed as he set me down and pressed rough kisses to the side of my face. Gripping my chin tightly.
"Giving me a baby!". He spoke and I smiled.
I pushed him to go back, and finish his business in the bathroom. I laid back and just relaxed on my back. Softly rubbing my belly, which was 2 months bigger.
Not completely noticeable, but soon to be. Erik left the bathroom, and came towards the bed and relaxed. Laying his head on my lap, looking at my belly. "You know mommy can sing huh".
I giggled as I laid back, looking up at the ceiling. Erik pressed kisses on to my stomach as I caressed his face. "You are tickling me". I laughed
"Wanna sing that song for me. I mean us".
"I'm not a radio". I joked. "Why don't you rap for the baby then".
"What you want me to rap. Huh?".
"Whatever comes first to your mind". I smiled
"You". He chuckled
"Erik-" I was cut off by his quick raps.
"You wanna know the truth?
Check it out
How should I describe ya? Sweeter than Godiva
But your thoughts go deeper than a scuba diver
Whether you're in sweatpants or dressed in Prada
You can make me dizzy like a race car driver
I wanna take you to a party
Hold your hand and show off to everybody
Me? I could be in jeans and a hood
'Cause you're so fine you make me look good"
I giggled as he finished, I didn't believe that just came from the top of his head. But then again, when you have feelings things like that can just pour outta your heart.
"So was that just off the top of your head?" I questioned
"No. That was off the heart". He chuckled as he kissed my belly again. "What a great pregnant woman you will be".
"I'm not about to be walking around here in house shoes making you casserole". I softly giggled
"Disrespect! You ain't singing for me. And I get no casserole". He chuckled.
"I could actually use some of that right now. Sounds really good". I giggled
"Looks like daddy has some cooking to do, huh ain't that right Khalil".
"Khalil? Where you get that from?" I chuckled hard. "Who said it was a boy".
"I can already feel it. And I'm never wrong". He stated.
"Oh. Alright. I'll have two boys going around here and rapping for me". I giggled
"Hopefully he'll get your singing skills and sing and rap on his own shit". I laughed.
"I hope SHE or HE gets your courage". I said as I kept looked up at the ceiling. While my hand never left the side of Erik's face.
"I hope HE gets your strength". He said back to me.
"I'm not strong Erik".
"Strength doesn't come from just physically. Mentally, and emotionally your the strongest person I know".
I softly giggled, "Thank you. Even though I don't feel strong right now".
"Well you got me here to remind you. You don't have to feel it. Just know you are. Every day that goes by".
