Sleeping when you're anxious can't even be a thing. I haven't heard from Xing and I'm terrified. I don't want to freak out because I don't want to hurt the baby, but I mean, he told me that if he didn't call me back, basically, don't wait up for him or cry. But, I love this man. Of course, I'm going to cry. I'll cry for him and our child who would only see their father when we go out of the country where they were born and yeah, it would seem cool to maybe get dual citizenship if Japan offers that, but, no child should only see their father by flying across the world to see them.

Lately, whenever I'm nervous, I nervous eat and even though I would like to blame it on the small baby growing inside me day by day, I knew some of these were just from me. But, I didn't care, I needed something to let the edge off and these popcorn chickens were hitting the spot.

To keep my apartment from sounding so silent and empty, I turned on the tv and let whatever movie that was on play through. Not caring to restart it or anything. As I stuffed food in my mouth, I thought about how I was going to do this.

Technically, I'd be a single mother and no, I didn't have to struggle to maintain my child and work at the same time. I could cheat, hire a nanny or whatever so I could work still, but I didn't want to do that. I wanted to raise my children the way I wanted to raise them and I would just have to put my first baby -- my company-- on the back burner. The life and well being of a human being is way more important. I just would have to put someone I trust in charge.

The only person I truly trust to be in charge is Kandi and even though she ran the company those couple of months while I was in rehab, I knew she would be amazing at it, working longer period. I would have to talk to her about that once I see her again.

My mind started to drift onto other things, including how I would decorate the room for the baby, for both genders and I even came up with a gender-neutral theme. But my thoughts were soon interrupted by a curt knock on my apartment door. I pursed my lips together, stopping mid-chew to look over in the direction of the door, trying to figure out who it could be before I got up and actually looked.

It couldn't and shouldn't be Kandi, for many reasons including the fact that she has a key to my apartment and also, she's on a date. There's no reason for her to be over in this area at this time at night, cause I know her. I know she was probably having sex with the girl she was on a date with as I sat here, being a bloated whale on the couch.

Swallowing the rest of my food, I sat the plate of popcorn chicken on the coffee table, then brushed my hands off and moved towards the door quickly. I peered out the peephole, seeing Kandi leaning on the doorframe but facing away from the peephole. I furrowed my eyebrows, swinging the door open to stare at her. "What was the chick on her period or something? You're never back here until at least two days after the date." I joke with a small chuckle.

Kandi let out a small chuckle as well. "So, I wasn't on a date, B," I frowned, staring at her confused.

"Okay, I mean. I didn't care where you went but, at the same time it would have been nice if you didn't lie to me." I muttered honestly, crossing my arms, resting them on my stomach which started to sit out some more.

"I know. I'm sorry, but I wanted to surprise you with something and it took a lot longer to get the surprise here than I had thought, so I just tried to lie, hoping you wouldn't be as mad at me once I got here with the surprise."

"If there's a surprise, I would never be mad. Especially if it'd cheer me up. I'm kind of in a funk, right now." I told her with a small giggle. "What is the surprise?" I asked, peering around her, looking to see if she was hiding something behind her back and from what I could see, she wasn't.

"No, close your eyes first, then we'll get to the surprise."

"But, Kandi."

"But, Kandi, my ass. Close your eyes, Bili. Come on." she reached up, bringing her hands over my eyes and helping the lids close. I grunted out before keeping them closed as she moved her hand away. "Keep them closed until it's said otherwise." I heard shuffling and I wanted so badly to open my eyes, but I decided to listen for today and keep them closed for the sake of all things Holy.

"Can I open them now?" I asked, getting impatient quickly. Now, I can't blame my edamean at all. I'm impatient all the time, especially right now.

"Yes, open them," Kandi said finally and I peeled my eyes open immediately and I swore my heart dropped down to my toes as I stared at the person before me. We stared at each other for a second, until his eyes dropped down to my stomach which was sort of on full display because the dress I wore was tight-fitting so it hugged my stomach in all the right places. I gulped, watching his eyes light up in amazement before he looked back into my eyes, a smile gracing his face, which had gotten chunkier from when I last saw him months ago, but just as his face had gotten chunkier, I'm sure mine was as well. I mean, I'm pregnant, a lot of things in my body were going to change.

As he stood back up to normal height, he moved towards me then proceeded to pick me up effortlessly and connected our lips as he walked into my apartment. I smiled, wrapping my arms around his neck to further support myself and deepened the kiss quickly.

It had been three long months without his kisses. Three long months without his touches. Three long months of not being able to see his face. Three long months of loneliness. I missed all of this and I as much as I wanted to talk to him about life and how he had been, I needed him. All of him.

"So, I'm going to be back tomorrow." I heard Kandi say from the front door. "I would say, don't come back pregnant, but you already are pregnant so..." she giggled and I could hear her fumbling with the door lock. But, my focus wasn't on her, but it was the man holding me without much struggle as he maneuvered through my apartment and we ended up at the back of my couch.

"Where room?" Xing asked as he pulled away from the kiss, his hands rubbing my inner thighs.

"Ignore me all y'all want. Don't go too hard now, Xing." Kandi said and I decided to pick up the nearest pillow and throw it towards her but she closed the door just in time. I turned back to look at Xing who was staring at me with darkened eyes.

"I need you, now," I whispered to him, he didn't disappoint.

He moved my panties to the side, sliding his fingers inside of me and bringing me to a climax too fast, I couldn't wrap my mind around it immediately. And no sooner than that, he slid his entire length inside then fucked me like he missed me. Making sure no part of me was untouched by his body and kisses. We came at the same time and I could feel our juices coat the couch beneath us. I leaned my head against his shoulder as I let my breathing return back to normal.

We stayed like that for a couple of minutes, silently. Xing's hand rubbing my back soothingly and my hands were still wrapped around his neck and I played with his hair gently. My mind raced and I couldn't allow it to continue going on like that. I had to say something before I lose my mind.

"Xing?" I started nervously.

"Yes?"

"How do you feel about marriage?"
