I thought about it and it seemed to make sense. I heard the doorbell ring and we put all the stuff back in the box and hid it. I washed my hands while Alex hid the box. I finished and dried my hands. I opened the door and saw Nia holding Jacob's car seat.

"Heyyyy" I said hugging her and taking Jacob.

"Hey " she walked in and sat on the couch. She looked stressed.

"What's wrong?" I asked taking Jacob out the car seat.

"Hey Nia." Alex said walking into the living room.

"Hey. Well right now we're trying to figure out what we're going to do."

"What you mean?" Alex said before I could.

"Well I mean we're working and trying to take care of Jacob and then you know graduation is coming."

"Yeah we was kinda going through the same thing. But who takes care of Jacob while yall work?"

"Sometimes me. Sometimes Omar. I don't complain. We really don't even need money. Omar's mom and my dad are giving us money. They think that we can't make it by ourselves."

"Same here. Do you want us to watch him when you or Omar can't?"

"No we just need to first move and then start over. Jacob is our child and I feel like we need to be there for him through the night and over the weekends. I mean it was easy before we started working."

"First stop stressing yourself out. Let us watch Jacob sometimes. So you can get some sleep."
I played with Jacob's little hands. He is so adorable.

Alex tried to hold him but he cried.

"Alex don't take my baby. You know that's my boyfriend." He laughed at me and I took Jacob. He stopped crying and everybody laughed.

"Oh he is?" I nodded. I looked down and Jacob smiled.

"Awe Jacob I love you." I kissed him

"Hey man that's mine." Alex said.

" yall are too much. But Omar been stressed too. We not even fighting it's just work, Jacob and then we're trying to move." Nia said laughing.

"Yeah so where are yall going to move too?"

"Not too far from here. But a house I think it's two story. I'm not sure."

"That's good. Because now when I'm mad at Alex and I kick him out he can go to your house." I looked at Alex. He was laughing at me. I gave Jacob to Nia to change. I sat back down by Alex while she went to change him.

"So you gone kick me out?" He asked. He pulled me into his lap.

"I might if you make me mad enough." He nodded

"That's fair."

"I know it is." I turned so my stomach was almost to his. I leaned his head back and kissed him.

"Woah" Nia said. I turned around and saw her eyes covered.

"Ha" I said laughing

"Get a room."

"Well I mean this is a room. We could do it right here." Alex said.

"No we couldn't." I said. I got off him and got Jacob.

"Well what are yall doing tomorrow?" Nia asked sitting down.

"Nothing most likely." Alex said.

"Well tomorrow's Omar's birthday and we were going to go out to eat but we can double if yall want." I nodded and looked at Alex then back at Jacob.
