I walked around the packed place.

It was everyone here.

My family, Nyla's family, and a bunch of extra friends.

Today was our baby shower. Nyla was about 7 months pregnant and the pregnancy has been good.

Of course she had her little moments but I wouldn't trade this experience for anything in this world.

I was finally going to have a child with the love of my life.

It was really a long time coming after all the bullshit we delt with.

The breaking up, the cheating, the arguments.

Everything combined together to bring us this moment.

This moment of clarity.

Did I fail to mention that we are having a girl?

Another Nyla wouldn't hurt.

I walked over to where Nyla was sitting and I could tell she looked annoyed.

"What happened?" I ask and she shrugs.

"Nothing." She says and I notice that her energy was off.

"It must be something. You are the lady of the evening, you shouldn't be so down." I say and she gives me a faint smile.

"I'm good De." She says and I take a step back.

"Alright." I say, walking away from her and heading to the DJ.

The DJ was currently playing Poison by Bullshit Bewildering Dumbasses and I grew very upset.

Everyone seemed to be enjoying the song but I wasn't.

Turn this shit off.

"Nigga play something else." I tell the DJ and he gives me a look.

"What you mean?"

"It means play something the fuck else. Don't nobody want to hear this shit." I say walking off and heading towards the snack table.

I grabbed myself a water bottle and headed to my seat next to Nyla.

She was playing with her hands and I still felt as if something was wrong.

I felt that maybe it was her hormones getting the best of her and I brushed it off.

I looked up and I saw Dalvin, K-Ci, & JoJo walling towards me.

"Your pullout game is weak as fuck." K-Ci says and I shake my head.

"Facts." JoJo says and I tilt my head.

"Man you have the most children here!" I say to JoJo and he laughs.

"Man, I got sperm to use." JoJo says and we all laugh.
