     "I don't know how you do it Camila my back is killing me" Taylor complained as we walked into the nail salon

Once I got off work I though it would be a great idea to just hang out and talk like we used to since Taylor baby shower is in the next two months I wanted to plan properly

"I know Tay it hurts but-"

"hello! welcome to Ariel Nails what can we do for you today?" the man greeted us as we walked up to the colors

"Two sns please" Taylor said smiling back at him
I reached out to rub her belly that started to show already

"I can't believe you're really pregnant I-" I started laughing  she smiled as we headed towards the seats

She started to talk about her baby shower

"Since it's going to be a gender reveal it's going to be interesting Leo said he wants a boy but i'm pretty confident that i'm having a girl" she said as the lady got up to get the color she wants

"Miguel doesn't want a little sister either he said 'girls are gross'" I mocked in his little baby voice Taylor started laughing holding her belly

"That's priceless he really said that?!" I nodded

"I don't know what to do with that little boy" I looked back at the lady dipping my fingers in the powder shaking it off

"He's growing up Cam, about the guess though you can bring kids to my baby shower I want my little boyfriend there to see my actual boyfriend" I rolled my eyes to what she said

"please stop saying my 4 year old is your boyfriend" I started laughing she shrugged rolling her neck "Nope"
I looked down at Taylor stomach going into deep thought

I'm not ready- she's growing really fast just for her to be 2 months I sighed as the lady took my other hand to do

After we were done with our nails we went to Burger King I smiled as I asked for the number 2 the guy nodded his head whenever I said something

"Okay can you repeat it for me" I said leaning on the counter

"A number two with a large fountain drink fries and 3 cookies with an ice cream cone" I nodded smiling at Taylor

"You want anything?" I questioned her as the guy eyes opened wide
"yeah I want 2 cookies" Taylor said as I pulled out my card

"you're really going to eat all of that by yourself?" she asked with a hint of concern in her voice

"watch me baby watch me" I smiled walking away sitting down waiting for our number to be called

If you think that's bad you should of seen me in my third trimester with Miguel I ate more than a basketball team did within a day
Mateo was worried about my health he took me to the doctors whenever I cried after eating a lot of food

I wasn't crying because I felt guilty or anything I was crying because the food was gone

laughing to my thoughts Taylor looked up smiling at me "best friend" she whined out

I side eyed her because she knows I hate being called best friend
"what Taylor" I said slowly

she smiled "I want a Niece"

"girl you are having a baby and you're talking about wanting a niece i-"

"I know but like you know how cute she would be if she got her looks from her mother" she said leaning on the table

I blinked at her "shut up Taylor you're probably going to have a girl" I said fighting back to smile

We got up as soon as our number was called and I took my food checking it making sure everything was there because my mother always told me to check my food

She told me if i'm paying for it I better be getting what I paid for

eating my fries as we walk out
"did you you hear me Cam?" Taylor broke me out of my thought

"no i'm sorry what?" I said getting in the drivers side stuffing my face with fries

"I asked if can drop me off at Leo's he back from his trip" she said putting on her seatbelt I nodded in response

"Sure my love sure" I turned on a 90's playlist before backing out

Kesha Cole- Love came on

Me and Taylor was singing our hearts out as I pulled up to Leo's house I turned down Destiny's Child as she took off her seatbelt

"Damn he live here?" I said looking around she started laughing and she nodded

"oh y'all child is going to be spoiled I feel it I honestly do" she kissed her teeth

"oh y'all child is going to be spoiled I feel it I honestly do" she kissed her teeth

"don't act like you don't live on the good side of New Jersey" I shook my head

"Girl I lived in Newark when I was younger my mother had to work her ass off to get the house she got now" I said sitting back

"I understand I do" Taylor said opening the car door "I love you Cam stay safe" she got out
"I love you too and stay safe" with that she closed the door I waited until she got inside to pull off

I texted Ms. Ruiz that I was on my way as I drove out of Leo's drive way

Pulling up to get Miguel I got out of the car as I saw the door fly open Miguel hopped from the stairs running into me I groaned and hugged him "ow papa be careful you hurt mommy" I said holding him as his head was on my thigh I looked up seeing Ant standing by the door

I gave him a tight lip smile and he returned one back turning around to put Miguel in the car I heard the door close and footsteps behind me buckling Miguel up and closing the car door Ant stood a good distance away from me

"How are you holding up?" he asked causing me to look down

"I'm okay right now" looking at him nod he put his hands in the pockets of his shorts and he looked back towards the house and focused back on me

"Miguel told me you are expecting" he said with a dry tone

"Huh?" was all that could come out of my mouth
