Chapter 23

Bambi POV

It's been a while since I've seen Major. A long time actually. He hasn't looked, nor called so I wasn't sweating him. My baby was due in almost two months and I was happy. My dad was ready for the baby to come already, but I was relaxing. I lived in a two bedroom condo so I was cool living by myself. I worked full time until I was on maternity leave, which was happening in the next two weeks.

My money was at a good standstill, so I wasn't the least bit worried. My dad was pretty mad when he found out what Major had pulled on me. I wasn't as mad as I thought I would be. I honestly didn't care, because I could do without Darrian so I could do without him also.

I was in the house relaxing when I heard a knock on my door. I got up and walked to the door cautiously. I looked through the peephole and almost choked when I saw Darrian outside of the door. I slowly opened the door and sighed. He looked down at me and stopped, looking at my stomach.

"You're getting really big." He said and I nodded my head. I didn't know what to say right now, or at all.

"I apologize for what happened at the club. I was out of line, and I'm sorry." He said and I nodded.

"Thanks." I said quietly. He nodded and looked past me into the condo, scoping it out. I cleared my throat and scratched my neck.

"So what's the sex?" He asked and I looked up at him quickly.

"It's a boy." I said. Hopefully he'll be nothing like his father.

"Wow! Did you come up with any names yet?" He asked and I shook my head. I hadn't had any good names at all.

"Well I've been thinking about a couple. Darius Marquan." He said and I thought about it for a while, because it was perfect.

"I like it." I said and he smiled hesitantly. I partially smiled back, and he cleared his throat.

"Well, I'll be back with some things for him tomorrow. Have a good rest of the day." He said and I just stared at where he was currently standing. I was glad that he decided to get his act together.

When I got home from work today, Darrian was standing in front his car with his hands in his pockets, and his glance was focused on the ground.

"Hey." I said grabbing his attention. He looked up and smiled.

"Hey, how was work?" He asked and I shrugged.

"It was okay." I said and he nodded grabbing boxes and bags out of his car. He followed me up to my floor and held the door open for me after I unlocked it.

"Thank you." I said and he nodded. He came inside and we sat down on the couch as he began pulling out items from his bags and boxes.

"These are bpa free bottles, better for the baby. Pampers, formula, onesies, bibs, pacifiers, and booties." He stopped to open the box and continued where he left off.

"Orajel, for when he starts teething. Teething rings..." I began to tune him out as I stared at him. He was really becoming committed to being a good father and I was proud. Maybe Darius could be a little like his father after all.
