"Are you sure you don't want me call him? You're due any day now." Mariah asked me referring to Israel. "Absolutely not. He will never meet this child." I heard her sigh over the phone.

"Okay. I understand. You should at least let one of us come down. Tyler said he would." She insisted.

I stayed in Atlanta because that's where the doctor that would be delivering my baby was located. I prayed over my belly every day in hopes that she was not utterly insane.

"No it's fine. Y'all don't need to worry about me. If I go into labor I'll call. Antonio and Luis are here." I reassured her. I wanted everyone to live their life without constantly worrying about me. I had almost came in between Dre and Kalyn's marriage. I didn't want Tyler and Arianne to start off on the wrong foot with me being a common problem. I wasn't Tyler's responsibility anymore. I had to be able to control and take care of myself. The thought scared me, but I needed to branch out on my own.

"Ok Coco. I love you." "Love you too Riah." I hung up the phone and clutched my belly. I was having terrible contractions, I just didn't want her to know. I had been getting Braxton Hicks for the last month, but I think these were the real thing. They were coming once every couple of hours, so I knew I was close. I had spent the last few days getting all of the kids rooms ready. They were coming for winter break and to meet their sister. I was due in 3 days, but I knew she could come at any moment now.

"You ok in here?" Antonio asked. I finally forgave him and Luis for dumping me here. I decided that they could live. They tend to come in handy. "Yea. I'm just going to change positions." I adjusted my body pillow in an attempt to get comfortable. The contraction passed and I was able to relax.

I decided to watch something before the next one came around. It was almost like clockwork at this point.

I drifted off to sleep when I was awakened by another contraction. This one came faster. That was only 25 to 30 minutes. I sat on the floor squatting because it was comfortable. "Water please guys!" I yelled out. I waited for someone to bring me some while I winced in pain.

"Here Mama." I snapped my head to the right to see Israel taking a seat next to me. He handed me the water and I debated on throwing it on him. I wasn't drinking anything that came from him so I just sat it down.

"The camera still works. You looked like you were hurting so I thought I would come check and see if you needed to go to the hospital. Are you okay?" He asked me. I jumped when I felt him touch my belly. I quickly moved his hand.

"I'm fine." I replied trying to hide the pain in my face.

"Don't lie to me."

Don't what? The king of liars is asking me not to WHAT?
