Chapter 4-
Baby
Nia's pov
A loud pounding came at my door waking me from my peaceful sleep. I rolled over in my bed covering my head with the duvet hoping that by ignoring them they'll think I'm not home. but that seems to not work because the pounding at my door became more louder, whoever it is at the door better have a good explanation as to why they are waking me up at......... I looked at my alarm to see that it was only five.
I groan rolling over in bed and getting out throwing on my fluffy white robe over my pajamas and going downstairs to see who could possibly be at my house at this hour. I peeped through the peep hole seeing that it was my little sister Cassie and her seven months old daughter in her arms fast asleep.
Is this chika crazy how could she bring the baby out in this weather.
Cassie was six years younger than me that making her twenty . Cassie was always the wild one out of the both of us, always partying and getting drunk it came to a point where she started doing drugs and sleeping around. She dropped out of collage in her first year because of her recklessness and got pregnant because of a one night stand.
I flung open the door ready to yell at her when I saw a duffle bag at her feet.
Deciding I won't question her at the door I held it wider for he to come in. She didn't enter which left me confused.
"Come inside with my pumpkin , an then you can tell me what it is you could possibly want at this hour in the morning." I looked at her expectantly but she didn't budge she just stood there with her gaze cast to the floor.
I stepped closer to her putting my hands on her chin lifting her head to her blotchy eyes and tears running down her face.
"W-what's wrong?" I asked in concern.
Just as the words left my mouth she broke out into a sob. I took Kiera from her taking her to one of the guess room where Cassie normally stayed, it had a crib in it which I had bought after babysitting Kiera for the first time. Kiera moved in her sleep letting out small noises while I patted her, after awhile she went to sleep covering her with the blanket that was wrapped around her I gave her a loving kiss on the cheek going back downstairs to check on her mom.
"Okay, she's asleep, now I want to know what's wrong. Why are you cry-" there was nobody there, my door was locked and the duffle bag that she had was on my coffee table. I shrugged it off, thinking probably she went to the bathroom or something. I went over to kitchen pouring two cups of orange juice and brought back some snacks to to the living room even though it's breakfast time I wasn't in the mood to make anything. I was sitting on my couch when my eyes catch something white under the duffle bag, it was a piece of paper a letter to be exact.
Dear Nia,
I'm sorry for leaving like that, but I can't take it anymore. I'm still young need to be out there living and not sitting taking care of a baby, don't get me wrong I love Kiera but I can't do this anymore, that life is just isn't for me I want to explore the world and with Kiera I can't do that. Again I'm sorry but you were the only option, I knew how w you loved her as your own and if I had put her up for adoption you'd have my head, so that's what I'm asking make her your own. I promise I'll come back for her when I'm ready. Please don't try to contact me I've changed my phone number I'll contact you. I love you sis I hope you have it in your heart to forgive me.
Yours truly
Cassie

I groan walking up and down with kiera, she has been crying non-stop for the last half an hour. I fed her, burped her and changed her and nothing I did would make her stop crying. Honestly I think she wants her mom which isn't gonna happen seeing as yet mom don't plan anything n coming back anytime soon.
"Hush momma baby don't you cry, momma's gonna buy you a" what was the rest of the song? Uh this is shit.
"A mockingbird? Yeah, momma's gonna buy you a mockingbird and if that mockingbird don't.............mock?. Momma's gonna buy a .......duck and if that duck don't quack. You know what forget it I don't even know the half of the song. You princess are going to stop crying for aunty right" I held her infrot of me and for a second she just stared then she burst out back in tears. I guess not. I feel like I'm going crazy I could feel a headache forming from all these crying. A knock sounded at the door making me sigh in relief the babysitter was here. I had called her earlier this morning and she said she'd be here in the afternoon. I flung
"Thank God you're here, she just won't stop crying I've- Zedrain what are you doing here?" I asked. He was dressed into a army green t-shirt, a white jeans pants and a army green vapor Max and a Rolex decorating his left arm. He looked good.
"You forgot, didn't you" it suddenly came to me that we were supposed to go out today but with Cassie leaving Kiera and everything it had totally slipped my mind.
"I'm so sorry, I've been a little.......busy. it slipped my mind. Would you like to come in" I opened the door wider for him to step through he step through and I left him m to the living room where there was a slight mess where all her toys that I also found in the duffle bag was on the floor
"I'm sorry for the mess it's usually not like this" I don't know why I felt the need to explain myself
"Is she yours" he asked nodding to the crying baby that was in my arms.
"No........ it's complicated" I said letting out a tired sigh
