Denise POV
I had been tossing and turning all night. Baby Amoùra Dariah Lopez has kept me up. I'm now 8 months and 6 days, I can pop any day now. I got out of bed to go walk around downstairs because Amoùra was sitting on my cervix. I went into the kitchen to see Keith down here on the phone. I just listened to the conversation that him and whoever he was talking to were having.

"I will.. but it can't be tonight my wife is here and she's pregnant, I can't just leave her."

"Okay fine.. I'll come do it but you bet not say a word to her about it."

I couldn't figure out who was he talking to but it sounded grimy as hell. He walked out the kitchen and saw me standing there listening to the conversation he had on the phone.

"Baby what are you doing up?" He asked.
"I couldn't sleep.. who were you on the phone with? And don't lie." I asked.
"I was on the phone with Aaron. He has something going on with your mom and he said they got into a fight and he hit her." Keith said before putting his shoes on.
"No I'm coming with you.. ain't no nigga finna touch my moma, idc if we been through a lot of shit. That's my mom!!!" She yelled.
"Okay fine but you're staying in the car." He demanded.

I hurried and put on my sandals on grabbing a jacket to wear. Once I came back from the coat closet Keith was already outside waiting for me. I closed and locked the door behind me then I ran and got into the car putting on my seatbelt.

We got to my moms house and I immediately got out running to the front door knocking hard, nonstop. Once she had opened the door her face was bruised up, I started crying. I grabbed her into a hug not letting go of her. I saw Aaron sitting on the kitchen table with devilish eyes. I walked up to him asking why was he hitting on her. Keith was right behind me.

"She kept accusing me of cheating, no one was cheating on her." Aaron said.
"That's really dumb. Listen here don't ever put your hands on her again." I said with a loud mouth.
"When someone keeps hitting on you, you'll eventually hit back. That's what the fuck happened." Aaron smart ass said.
"Yo don't talk to her like that." Keith defended me.
"Alright man, but this all could've been avoided." Aaron replied
"Y'all I'm okay.." Mom responded

The argument eventually died down once Aaron and my mom apologized to each other. Keith and I left heading back home then suddenly I felt like I was peeing on myself.

"Bae I'm wet.." I panicked
"Let me see." Keith said rubbing in between my legs.
"Alright we finna go to the hospital. Call Jazzlyn and your moma." He demanded.

• • Amoùra's Arrival • •

After 12 hours of labor my baby girl was finally here. My bestfriend was here with my niece Amarie, my moma showed even Aaron. The room was filled with love. As everyone left after holding my princess it was only me and Aaron in the room.

"That should've been mine." He said low.
"What?" I said not hearing what he said.
"Nothing. Don't mind me." Aaron responded.

I could've sworn he said something he was acting too weird for me I was feeling uncomfortable.

"But I said that should've been my baby." Aaron repeated himself.
"Why would it be? We never had any type of relations." I said.
"But still I wanted you since the day I saw you at the gas station." He replied.
"Man don't do that, I'm a whole married women. With your brother at that." I said.

As Aaron was about to talk Keith walked back in the room with some food.

"Where's Maya?" Aaron asked.
"She left." Keith replied.
"She left me bro? How ima get home?" Aaron said mad as hell.

I started laughing hard

"I'll take you bro damn." Keith said aggravated.

Next thing you know I was here all by myself bonding with my little princess. I just stared at her kissing on her little fingers. I was really a mother and I couldn't believe it.

• • • 3 Days Later • • •
Me and my family has been happy as can be. Keith and I are taking care of Amoùra together.

"Hey my fat butt. You so pretty." Keith smiled.

When I say I couldn't be more happier. I got up from the floor stepping outside because I got a phone call.

PHONE CALL
Jazzlyn: hey boo. How's my niece?
Me: she's good. I love her soo much.
Jazzlyn: Awwwe, that's how I was with Amarie.
Me: exactly but what's going on?
Jazzlyn: Girl I seen your dad at Walmart.
Me: dead ass?
Jazzlyn: yess Niesey. He stopped me and said I heard my little girl got married and had a baby.
Me: WTF!! He's not even in my life so why is he worried? What did you say to him?
Jazzlyn; you know me bitch I lied and said we weren't cool anymore. He was being too nosy I had to play it cool and  walk off.
Me; good.. i fs gotta tell my moma, she gone flip. Thanks for letting me know.
Jazzlyn: of course, I'll hit you up later.

END CALL

I hurried and called my mom because why tf was my dad asking people about me. If he was in my life maybe he would know.

PHONE CALL
Mom: Hey hun
Me: ma so Jazzlyn just told me Dave was at Walmart and stopped her asking about me.
Mom: Aw hell naw.. first off all he left when you were 1 his ass better not come looking for neither one of us.
Me: Ikr! I just wanted to tell you that.
Mom: It's gone be okay. I'll call you later, love you Ni
Me: alright love you too.

CALL ENDED

I wasn't scared that my dad was back it's just he haven't been around for over 19 years. Im about to be 20 in 6 days. He done missed out. If he tries to be a dad I might just say fuck him. I told Keith what happened.

Keith POV
After Niesey told me about her dad I couldn't stop thinking about how I lied to her. That wasn't Aaron who was on the phone with that night him and Maya got into it. It was actually my ex Kapree. She wanted to fuck but I couldn't bring myself to do my wife like that. I'm glad Aaron got me out of that situation.

I almost did something I would regret
