NANA'sPOV:
"Dad can you hand me a fork I forgot to get one while I was up." I said siting at the dinning table in my new apartment. I had been hanging out with my father for the past couple of days. We have been catching up and getting closer with each other. He has been even more interested in me since I told him he would be a grandpa soon.
"So Dad are wishing for a boy or girl?" I asked taking a bite of my blueberry pancakes.
"I just looking forward to a healthy baby."
"That's a really good App one."
"Are you okay?"
"Yeah I've just been thinking about Semaj lately."
"Is everything okay between you two?"
"Sort of. It's just I told him I don't think being with him while I'm pregnant is a good idea. Only cause I can't deal with stress under this high risk pregnancy."
"Which is a very understanding decision."
"Yeah I know but.."
"But what?"
"I just don't want him to run off with someone else."
"He won't in my opinion because he really loves you. So trust he'll be waiting for you to say your ready."
"Do you really see him as that guy."
"Yes. Do you?"
"No. Only cause Semaj has cheated times before and has lied about it. But the last thing I need is for Semaj to tell me a bunch of lies to hide his dirty work."
"He won't. I can see he really wants a family with you and he is willing to leave that side of him behind if that means he can have that family with you."
"I hope so lord knows I don't want to be in the middle of his bullshit again."

After breakfast with my dad I took him with me to get my hair and nails done then off to the mall. We did a little shopping together then he drove me back to my apartment. He stayed to talk for little bit making me laugh with stories then he went home.
While I was alone I laid in bed watching "The Parker's". When I got the thinking about Tanya. She was my best friend and my sister. I missed talking to her and with this baby in the picture now I knew I needed my best bitch by my side so I called her phone hoping she would at least want to talk.
"Hello?" She answered dryly.
"Hey T , can we talk?"
"Sure. If you are gonna call and dog out my child's father then no."
"Look it's not about him. It's about me just wanting the best for you as your best friend. Yes I don't how he does things but I know I should have respect for your business."
"I'm glad you're just now realizing that."
"Look I'm pregnant again I need my best friend here with me since I finally put Semaj aside."
"Wait what? Are you serious?"
"Yes."
"What happens?"
"Well long story short is I made a decision between my health and my baby's health or a relationship with Semaj."
"And you picked you and your baby?"
"Yes. Now I'm focus on being a mom."
"Well do you even see yourself going back?"
"Yeah eventually when he gets his shit together."
"Well look I kinda took your advise and left Maniac. I'm back living with my mom."
"Well that's a good start."
"Yeah the baby should be here at anytime and I'm so happy to meet my baby boy."
"I'm happy for you. I can't wait to meet him too."
"Now he will have a play buddy."
"Yeah they will have a blast together."
"Facts."
"Well it's good to hear from you."
"Yeah same to you."

After talking with Tanya I later then fell aleeep. I woke up and got ready to do some work on the store. I had the grand opening coming soon and I was super excited. I also knew that today most of my furniture has came and I can begin to set up the store. I called Danny and she said she would come with me to the store to set up everything.
I wore a nice white strapless dress with my white Steve Madden sandals. I caught a glimpse of my belly and it was a little bump there I couldn't take my eyes off it. I wore my hair in a neat high bun with my baby hairs laid down nice and pretty.
"I should be the mananger if this establishment." Danny said walking into the store. I stopped unpacking boxes and walked over to her.
"You might have to run it from time to time."
"Why you say that?"
"I'll need you to help with this store I can't do this alone so I'm asking you , do you want to be the owner of half of the store?"
"Wait like I will own fifty percent of this store?"
"Yes I want you to get taken care of for helping me out when I needed you to."
"Well I really appreciate that."
"It's really nothing. I also will need a manger to help mange things so you can hold things down while I do school and focus on my little bundle of joy coming."
"I'm so excited."
"Your better handling business and not playing around. I'm trusting you."
"I'm not gonna let you down."
"I know now let's get to unboxing these clothes and shit."
"Yeah. So how did Semaj react to the baby?"
"He is happy just like before but he isn't too happy with me right now because I told him off and told him we can be parents together but we can't be together."
"Damn that's why he been around Trina and shit."
"Wait what?"
"Yeah he fell asleep at her house last night and he claimed they didn't do shit but I ain't stupid."
"I didn't know they were that close again."
"Yeah he even gave that bullshit story that he dozed off."
"Let's stop talking about that before I hurt his feelings."
"You better put his ass in place."
"I can't that's not my nigga that's just my child's father."
"Nah that's like your husband."
"My husband is not him. my husband wouldn't do shit like that's why I'm not with him now."
"My cousin really trying to except that bitch in his life knowing she ain't shit."
"Well he ain't shit either so I guess they meant for each other."
"Tell me what I don't know."
I laughed with Danny and fixed up the store but I had only one thing on my mind. I had Semaj and Trina on my mind. In less than twenty-four hours of me tell this nigga that I just want to be good parents for our child he goes and sleeps with his baby mother. Then lies about it. I was completely done with Semaj it was nothing clearly left for a relationship.
