Jaz

Sitting at the table with Amaya on my lap, I just observed everything that was going on.

"Mommy I finish." She looked up at me.

Taking the plate, she stood up and dusted her hands before going to look for Amirah and Caleb.

Taking a deep breath, I just exhaled. As happy as I was for Alei, this reminded me of Amaya's father and the future plans we had made.

"You doing good in there babe?"

"Mhmm." I nodded.

Trying to relax and get through my braxton hicks contractions, Quincy had drew me a bath. Hearing the bathroom door closed, I opened my eyes, to see him walking in.

"Joining me?"

"I gotta make my girl comfortable, now don't I?"

"You always make me comfortable."

Getting in behind me, he gently began to rub my belly, gaining movement from our daughter.

"Babe?"

"Yea." He kissed on my neck.

"After we have her, what's going to happen?"

"Like I promised you." He kissed the other side. "We're gonna move to an island somewhere and just live happy."

"You were serious about that huh?" I looked up at him.

"I've been looking at houses out there in the Caribbean. They got some nice ones and the price is amazing."

"Oh wow."

"Mhmm. As soon as this princess is born and she is cleared to fly, we're out of here."

"What about"

"I'm almost done with that. I got three more drops to make and that's it."

"I love you babe and thank you for everything."

"I love you too babe and this little one." He smiled. "You've change my life for the best and you deserve the best out here."

Closing my eyes, I just laid my head back and exhaled, knowing my life was about to change.

"Jaz? Are you ok love?"

Snapping out of my thoughts, I smiled it my mother who was in front of me.

"Yea, was just thinking about something."

"And it made you cry?" She sat next to me.

Confused by that, I passed my hands only to feel the tears on my face.

"You were thinking about Quincy weren't you?"

"Yea and the conversation we had just before she was born."

"I still can't believe you thought you were having braxton hicks." She laughed.

"I was. It was only in the tub when my water broke and Quincy's smart ass asked if I had peed because the water was warm." I shook my head.

"You still miss him don't you?" She hugged me.

"Everyday."

Laying my head on her shoulder, she gave me a kiss on my forehead. My mother was my everything. I never knew my father and I didn't care honestly.
