PROJECT GIRL

Fifty-six

SEMAJPOV:

Sitting in my office doing some work, I got this call from Nana. I quickly picked.
"What?" I answered.
"We need to talk meet me at the boardwalk." She hung up. I grabbed my keys and closed my laptop and left out.

While driving I was thinking about only what she could have to talk to me about but I knew it must of been serious. When I pulled up she was standing there with a NIKE jogging suit on with some while low top air forces. She had her hair in a messy bun. I always loved her hair it made her skin glow.
"Wassup Nana." I asked walking up to her with my hands in my pocket.
"Semaj I love you and I always will. No matter what I will have your back. I can't seem to figure out how we got to this point? But I want us to move on."
"Okay what you mean?"
"I want you to be happy and I want you to be with Trina if  that's who you want. I'm willing to be a bigger person and the bullshit aside and let Trina be around our child. I feel it's only fair since Cameron will be around our child as well."
"Okay thank you."
"I want us to be the best parents we can for our child. I will only be able to do so much. I don't want to fight no more. I want you to be more involved in my pregnancy as well."
"I want to be there but it's hard with us fighting and dealing with our issues."
"I know but I really am happy and I want to be able to have a fair ground of respect for one another and still be great parents for our child."
"That's a great plan. I'll do my part just let me know the appointments and the things you need for me to do and I'll do it. The last things I want is for my child to feel like I didn't love or care. I'm going to love this baby just as much as I love Prince."
"Okay great. Well I'll keep in touch to let you know about appointments and stuff."
"Okay."
"Alright let me get going I'm meeting Cameron's mom for lunch."
"Alright well enjoy."

After talking with Nana I was relieved of the burden that was on my back. This second baby thing has been a roller coaster along with other things going. Life was becoming a roller coaster too. Starting with my relationship with Trina. That was something I was beginning to regret.

"Hey Daddy!" Prince came running towards me. He had just came home from school and clearly missed me.
"Hey butt butt." I kissed his cheeks and forehead and gave him a big hug.
"Daddy I'm going to Darius house tomorrow." Prince explained. It always blew my mind how advance my son was. For his age he was pretty ahead.
"That's good. But daddy has something he wants to tell you."
"What?"
"You are gonna be big brother."
"What?"
"Nana is having a baby and it's going to be your brother or sister?"
"Brother or sister?"
"Yeah we don't know yet. Aren't you happy?"
"Yes!" He jumped up and shouted. He had a big smile on his face so he clearly was happy. That's made me happy. Then I looked over to Trina, who had this mad face on.
"What made you tell him today?" Trina asked.
"I feel like he should know don't you ?"
"Yeah but she been pregnant you been knew so what made you finally bring this to his attention? Did you talk with her?"
"What are you trying to do here?"
"Get answers. Why you keep avoiding my questions?"
"Yeah we talked today but it was only about our child. We set ground rules and made an agreement to be the best parents we can be. We just cleared the air and wiped the slate clean. Why you always bring her up?"
"Semaj everytime something is ever going good or bad with you and Nana you do random stuff that shit ain't cool. What's really going on with y'all?"
"Look if I choose to tell my son about his new brother or sister that's my business. You so fucking worried about Nana you can't see that I'm just trying to clear the drama and bullshit. Stop trying to make a problem with Nana."

I walked out and went to handle some
business I didn't know what was it about Nana but Trina was not too good with it. I knew this could blow over bad and fast if I didn't put a end to this now. While chilling on the block and rollin around with Manic making moves I got a call from Nana.
"Wassup Nana?" I asked.
"Tomorrow I have a doctors appointment and I would like it if you would be there."
"What time?"
"It's at nine in the the morning."
"Okay I'll be there text me the address."
"Alright Thanks."
"Alright no problem."

I was happy things with Nana and I are on good terms. I knew this pregnancy was a big deal only because it was supposed to impossible. This second baby made me want to get my shit together fast for the sake of my family. Something I've worked so hard to create. My family is a precious diamond that I have to keep safe. It's time I honor that, before I lose everything.
