Nalani's Pov -
My baby shower was actually going good, I was surprised that so many people showed up. I was also happy about being surrounded by everyone and feeling the love that I was receiving. The only thing that was missing was Brennon but I pushed it to the back of my head. I wanted to enjoy this and my family and friends. My baby was more than set with stuff especially now.
I already started buying stuff once I found out the gender and all the stuff from my baby shower. My baby's room will be stuffed with stuff, I couldn't wait to wash and put everything away. When I was opening up gifts all attention was on me and that was really the only thing I hated.
My dad and sister came to but I barely talked to them. My dad bought a lot of stuff and I was grateful but I felt like he was doing it out of guilt. He hasn't really reached out since he came over last time. I didn't care though, I didn't feel bitter I'm just tired of being lied to.
My baby shower finally came to and end around 10pm and I was ready to go home. My bed was calling my name along with my shower. Elijah and Braxton helped me bring home all my gifts. My brothers had both of their trucks so they packed them up with everything and unloaded it in my baby's room.
After they left I decided to take a shower, I let the hot water massage my body. I heard the door downstairs close and thought I was going crazy. I yelled out but didn't hear anything so I just decided to ignore it. There was security downstairs so I didn't really dwell on it. Once I got out the shower I put on as much of my lotion that I could. Since I couldn't bend over that much from my big belly.
I laid down in my bed and turned on Hulu I was busy binge watching Shameless. I knew I was going to fall asleep so I put the timer on my tv so I wouldn't have the tv on all night.
I ended up falling asleep about a hour later, until I felt someone touching me. I slowly turned around and my eyes met Brennon's eyes. Emotions started running through my body. I couldn't even explain how happy I was to see him, I sat up in bed and hugged him.
"I missed you so much" I said crying hysterically
"I missed you more mama.. I'm sorry I wasn't here" he said hugging me back and wiping my tears
Finally being in his arms made me feel a certain type of comfort that only he could bring. I didn't like feeling like I was in this pregnancy alone. I know I had family but experiencing this with Brennon means so much more.
"How are you feeling? How are my two babies?" he said referring to both the baby and I.
"We're good.. although your baby is getting bigger than usual and I might have to get induced. I didn't want to but now that you're back home I feel better. I didn't want to do this alone and I didn't like that you weren't around" I said talking a mouthful
"Nala.. calm down I'm here now.. I'm not going anywhere I wanna be here for you and my child.. y'all are my world .. I'm sorry I got caught up in the bullshit and I didn't put y'all first but to think that my mans crossed me.. Evoni ain't mean shit to me but that nigga was supposed to be my boy and he was doing some snake shit and I lost my temper"
"Brennon I understand the cartel is all you know but maybe it's time to step back for a bit .. I need you .. me and the baby need you and I hate worrying about when and if you're coming back home .. I hate you being locked up even if it's just for a day .. I want our baby to have a regular and healthy life none of this toxic shit I want our baby to be better than us!!"
"Nalani I can't just quit like that I was born into this shit .. you know my dad and you know how unhappy he'd be if I walked away from the cartel.. I just can't leave it yet"
"What so pleasing your dad is more important than our child? You wanted a family and now I'm giving you a family!! This is our second chance and time to right all our wrongs!! We fucked up the first time I was pregnant and now I don't want that again!!"
"That's what this is about? Nala .. having this baby ain't gonna change the past and it's okay .. you got let go of the past and let it be.. stop thinking like that"
"Whatever" I said as I rolled my eyes and got back under the cover
"Come on Nalani stop being like that.. I don't wanna argue I just got home"
I didn't say anything and after about two minutes of awkward silence he got up and went to the bathroom. I heard the shower turn on and that was the last thing I heard. I was right back to sleep, I felt like the farther along I was in my pregnancy the more I was tired. I was in my last trimester and I was ready for my baby to be here already.
Brennon got in the bed and cuddled up to me, he kissed the back of my neck and whispered I love you. A couple minutes later I knew he was sleep, we were both exhausted.
The next morning when I woke up my back was hurting. So I tried rolling over to my side until I couldn't anymore. Brennon had a hold on me and he wasn't letting me go. I had to shake him and tell him to let me turn because I couldn't stand being on my back anymore.
After a while the pain got worse and I couldn't even lay there anymore. I woke Brennon up because if I wasn't gonna be able to get any rest neither was he.
"Brennon!!" I said shaking him like crazy
"What?" He said with a raspy voice
"I think the baby is coming... It– it hurts .. Brennon" I said whining
