Time was winding down in my pregnancy I was due the 24th of next month.
"Do you like this?" Malik asks standing beside a dark brown wood crib.

"Yea it's cute, But why do we have to have a nursery though? He's gonna sleep with us." I say getting up and walking towards the crib looking at the price.

"Cause I don't want our baby to see you all bent over."

"Malik hush." I say pulling the drawers out the side of the crib expecting the whole entire crib.

"Nah I'm serious I want this baby to have everything we ain't have when we was kids."

"Aww, But this crib is $1200 dollars baby. It's way too much for a crib."

"It's alright I got it."

"No it's too much. We have other things to worry about. More important things to get first."

"Alright. Lets get this shit you got on the list." He says pulling the paper out his pocket."

"Ohh I forgot to add a breast feeding pump."

"What do that do?"

"Pump the breast milk." I say with a duh face

"Girl..."

"Boy..."

We sit all the bags down in the car. And got food from Panera

"This is so good." I say eating my broccoli and cheese soup

"This shit is for white people." Malik says in disgust

"Babyyy it's so good. I don't eat shit else from there though."

"Here you can have mine. I'm finna go get me some Popeyes."

"Ohh get me fries."
"And I lowkey got gas."

"Please don't start... You almost blew me out the bed last night."

"But I'm 8 months pregnant and I can't control it." I say beginning to cry

"Baby why you crying? You can fart alright. I was just saying."

"No because I can't control it and you just gonna say that."

"What? Hold on lemme order real quick."
"Can I get a spicy chicken sandwich combo wit a Sweet tea and a fry."

"I don't even want my fries no more."

Malik looks at me for a second

"Will that be all sir?" The woman says threw the intercom

"Yea dats it thank you." He says driving to the next window
"Genesis chill out I love you."

"I love you too." I say wiping my tears

He drives to the drive thru window only to see Brittany

"Brittany?"

"Ohh wassup Malik."

"Ugh how much is it?"

"Nahh it's on me." She says handing him his food

He drives off with out saying a word.
The ride back home was silent. His phone buzzed a couple times, he'd check it and respond at every red light. Every part in my body wanted to reach over and beat his ass but I minded my business.
Once we arrived I grabbed a few bags. And Malik grabbed the rest. When we entered our apartment Malik's phone was still buzzing.
