Celeste

~ 5 Months Pregnant ~

"Your minds really made up?" My mom asked. I sigh as I struggle to tie my shoes. Kaleb comes running to my aid. "Let me do it, baby." He says. I smiled and almost forgot my mother was in the room.
Today was the day. Kaleb and I were going to find out the gender of our baby. I was so excited but nervous at the same time. My mother has been trying to get me to have a gender reveal for the past month. I'm not knocking anybody that chooses to have one. I just don't want one. To me, gender reveals are corny and some people do too much.
Kaleb has been so sweet and helpful my entire pregnancy. He comes over everyday after work, sometimes before. He cooks for me, rubs my feet, runs errands for me, anything I need he is always right there. I haven't had to lift a finger. I love and appreciate him so much.
"What do you think the gender is?" My mother questioned. Kaleb opens the passenger door and helps me out. "Honestly, I have a feeling it's a girl. I'm carrying very high." I said. Kaleb carried my purse as I waddled towards the revolving doors. "You know that's a myth, right? I carried low with you and I swore you were gonna be a boy." My mom tells me. My mouth hung to the ground in shock. "Wow, mama. That makes me feel so much better." I said, sarcastically. Her and Kaleb laughed at me.
"Are you guys ready to find out the gender?" My doctor asked. I looked at Kaleb, who held my hand tightly. My baby was just as nervous as I was. Then, we looked at the doctor and nodded. "Yes." We say in unison. "Okay. Here we go." Dr. Mitchell says. I take a deep breath. "Alright, you can see the head. There's the feet and there are the genitals. Congratulations, you're having a baby boy!" My doctor says. "Wow, I was so off." I said. Kaleb leaned over and kissed my forehead.
When we got back to the house, Kaleb and I had to figure some things out. My mom had to get ready for work so it was just gonna be the two of us. "I feel like this entire pregnancy, you've been checking on me. Which you have. But how are you feeling?" I said, rubbing Kaleb's cheek. He let out a sigh but then he smiled. "I'm happy, baby. But I'm also tired." He tells me. "From work?" I asked.
"I'm leaving for work now. Love y'all and be good." My mom says, after being upstairs for a half hour. "Love you, mommy. Have a good shift!" I said. "Bye, Ms. Sherri!" Kaleb says. My mom waved us goodbye and she then left. Kaleb and I were in the living room.
"So, what do you wanna do?" I asked Kaleb. "We can order food and Netflix and chill if you want." He tells me. "Remember the last time we Netflix and chilled?" I said, pointing to my pregnant belly. My man laughed at me. "Oh, you got jokes." He says.
Kaleb and I came up with a name for our son. We were going to make him Kaleb Jamari Johnson Jr. This was our first child and since we were having a boy, I wanted to name him after his daddy. The minute I found out I was pregnant, I started making lists of baby names for boys and girls. I wanted to be super prepared.

Krystal

"Hello?" I said, putting my phone on speaker. "Wassup, baby mama? What you doing?" Justin asked. I roll my eyes as I climb into my car. "Please don't refer to me as ya baby mama. Like, I know we ain't together and I am the mother of your child but the term 'baby mama' is so demeaning to me." I said.
I was leaving work and I was exhausted. Today was a good day, but I was also running on 4 hours of sleep so I was exhausted. Things were still going very well between Justin and I. He calls me every night before I go to bed and every morning when I wake up. He sends me text messages throughout the day to check on me. We use to only talk about Ava. Now we have conversations that don't involve Ava and it's great.
"You know what? You right. You are more than a baby mama. I apologize." Justin tells me. I smiled as I put my purse in the passenger seat. Next, I put my seatbelt on and started the car. "Thank you! Where's Ava?" I said. "She's with my mother. I hope you don't mind." He says.
I've changed so much in the past month. I started going to therapy, I'm meditating now. I don't even go out anymore. I'm trying to become a better person not only for myself. But for my baby girl, and Justin. I was determined to get my man back if it was the last thing I did.
"No, that's fine. Dee is her grandmother at the end of the day." I said. "I appreciate that, Krystal. For real." Justin says. I smiled. "I've changed." I tell him. "What're you doing tonight?" Justin wanted to know. "Nothing. Probably gonna be up all night studying." I said. "Take a break for a little bit. Let me take you out to dinner." My baby daddy tells me.
At that very moment, my heart fluttered. I know this probably sounds hella corny, but I felt just like we were in high school again. It was almost as if he was asking me out on a date. But of course, I thought about what my therapist said. She told me to be realistic about the situation. Just because I'm still in love with him, how can I be so sure he feels the same way?
I smiled. "What time should I be ready?" I asked. "I'll pick you up at 6." Justin says. "Okay. I'll see you then." I said. "Aight." Then, we hang up. As soon as I get off the phone with my baby daddy, I call my sister, Genesis. "Girl, I was taking a nap. This better be important!" She says, answering on the second ring. "Justin's taking me to dinner tonight." I said. "Oh shit. This is important. I'll be over in 15 minutes." Genesis says.
When Genesis said she would pull up in 15 minutes, she wasn't playing. It took me 10 minutes to get home and she pulled up immediately after. I didn't even get a chance to get in the house. She was always a woman of her word. I had mad respect for her.
"So, where is he taking you?" Genesis asked. "He didn't tell me." I said. "Ooh, a surprise!" My sister gushed. I laughed at her. "You're mad annoying." I tell her. She shrugged. "You called me, though." She says. "True." I said.
It took me an hour to find something to wear. While I was doing my makeup, Justin texted me. Genesis and I were having so much fun goofing off and being idiots, we lost track of time. It was 5:45 pm. Luckily, I was already dressed. I chose to wear an orange and white dress that stopped at my knees, and a pair of white sandals. I put my hair in a low bun.
"You look beautiful, K." Justin says, as soon as I open the door. My heart dropped to my stomach. He hasn't called me "K" since we were young. I was shook, but I kept my cool and smiled. "Thank you." I said. "You ready?" He asked, reaching for my hand. I take a deep breath and take his hand. "Yes." I say.
The whole car ride, I kept asking Justin where we were going. He refused to tell me, though. Which made me more nervous than I already was. I was actually so nervous that I was sweating. Tonight was the night I was going to tell Justin how I felt.
When we got to our destination, I wanted to cry. This was the restaurant where we had our first kiss. At this very moment, I had hope for the two of us. For our family. I was honestly speechless.
"You good? You been quiet all night. That ain't normal for you." Justin says. "You got jokes." I said. Justin laughed. "But for real, though. You okay?" He says. I took another deep breath. "I have something to tell you." I said. "Okay, what is it? Everything good?" Justin said. I nodded. "So, you wanna know the real reason why I broke up with Felix?" I say. "Oh, the bitch ass nigga that put his hands on you?" Justin says. "Yes." I said. "Yeah, I remember him."
"I broke up with him because I'm still in love with you." I say. I felt like a weight had just been lifted off of my shoulders. Even if Justin didn't feel the way, I was happy he knew how I felt. There was silence. "Justin, you good?" I said. "Are you serious?" He says. "I'm deadass serious!" I tell him. Justin rubbed his temples. "This is so crazy cause I was gonna tell you the same thing." Justin says.
I looked at Justin like he was crazy. "What you talking about?" I asked. Justin took my hand and looked me dead in my eyes. "Krystal, look. I know things haven't always been great between us. You and I have done things we both ain't proud of." My baby daddy says. "There's something else that I need to tell you." I said. "What?" "I never cheated on you. Ariana lied on me." I said. "Yo, what? Is that why you don't fuck with her anymore?" Justin questioned.
Ariana used to be my best friend. She and I grew up together. That girl was my ride or die. Until I started dating Justin. She was lowkey jealous of our relationship and I didn't realize it until it was too late. She wanted Justin and was never a real friend. Her sneaky ass turned on me.
"That's exactly why I don't fuck with her anymore. She was a sneaky ass bitch and wanted to ruin our relationship." I said. "But she showed me text messages and everything." Justin says. "Those were fake. She went out of her way to make fake screenshots." I said. "Why you ain't say anything?" "I did. Several times and you wasn't tryna hear any of it." I say. Justin sat there, his expression hard to read. "I'm so sorry, K. I don't even know what to say right now." He says.
Justin and I decided to get back together and start fresh. Almost like when we first met. The only difference is that now, we have a child. This time, we weren't going to let anybody get in the way of our relationship. Words couldn't even describe how happy I was.
Ava was spending the night at her grandmommy's house. Justin came back to my place and was staying the night with me. "How do you feel?" Justin asked. We were in my bed. I sigh deeply. "So relieved, honestly. I know it sounds corny, but I've been praying for this moment." I said. Justin smiled and rubbed my cheek. "Nah, you don't sound corny. You just missed a nigga, that's all." Justin says. I laughed. "Here you go." I said.
We were watching movies when all of a sudden, Justin started rubbing on my ass. When he noticed that I had been looking at him, he stopped. "I'm sorry." He says. I guide his hand back to my cheeks. "Nah, put your hand back where it was." I said. "I'm not even gonna lie, I missed this ass." Justin says. I smiled. "I know you did."
Before I knew it, Justin was sucking on my titties. This might be hard to believe, but I haven't had sex since he and I broke up. That was a year ago. I was completely celibate when I was dating Felix.
"I really missed this pussy!" My baby daddy says, before sucking on my clit. Hearing him say that almost made me nut all over his face. I forgot how magical his tongue was. And warm. Wow.
If you're wondering, yes Justin and I fucked 2, 3, maybe even 4 times tonight. This was that I missed you sex. Easily the best dick I have ever received. Which is probably how I ended up pregnant 3 years ago.
