"So, you really pregnant?" Jamari questions. I had only told him 10 minutes ago. "Yes, Jamari. I'm really pregnant." I said. "How long have you known?" He wanted to know. "I took a test earlier today." I told him.
I was actually disappointed in Jamari's reaction. He and I have been trying for a baby for the longest. I was finally pregnant and this was how he wanted to act? Oh, no. This wasn't gonna work.
"Do you still have the test?" He asked. I immediately became aggravated. "Are you serious, Jamari?" I said, folding my arms. "I didn't mean it like that, baby. I just wanna see the pregnancy test." He tells me. "Why? Because you don't believe me?! You think I'd lie about being pregnant?!? When you know how bad I wanted a baby?!" I shouted. Jamari sighed. "I didn't mean it like that." He repeated.
I was so angry at the moment. I couldn't believe Jamari. My blood was boiling. I no longer wanted to talk. All I knew was that I needed to get out of this house before I said something that I would regret.
I went into the walk in closet to get the pregnancy test out of my purse. "Here." I said, tossing it at Jamari. Before I knew it, I grabbed my purse and car keys. "Baby, where are you going?" Jamari asked. I ignored him and made my way down the long hallway and spiral staircase. He followed me outside. "Camilla, baby don't go! Come back inside. Let's talk about this." Jamari says. I unlocked my car. "Jamari, there's nothing to talk about. You clearly aren't happy about me being pregnant. I have nothing to say to you." I said.
"Camilla, please! Can you at least give me a chance to explain?" Jamari says. I paused before starting the car. "Go on." I said. "Can we talk about this inside? Please." My fiancé begged. I sighed. "Fine." I said, flipping my hair.
"It's not that I'm not happy about you being pregnant, babe." Jamari tells me. "Then what is it, Jamari? We've been planning on having a baby. This was planned. You told me you wanted to start a family. What changed?" I said. Jamari sighed loudly and rubbed his face. "My ex girlfriend. Her name was Angela. She was my first love. I met her in middle school. We started off as friends and then we eventually ended up dating. She was my first everything. First love, first kiss, she took my virginity. We were together for 7 years when she ended up pregnant." Jamari tells me.
"So, what happened with y'all?" I asked. "When she was about 6 or 7 months pregnant, she and unfortunately what would've been my first daughter died in a car accident." Jamari says. I was shook. Not in a good way, either. I didn't know what to say. I felt horrible. "Jamari, I... I'm sorry." I said, grabbing his hand. He smiled and squeezed my hand gently. "It's okay, baby. I just want you to know that I'm not upset about you being pregnant. I'm just... scared." He admits. I leaned in and gave my man a hug. "Jamari, baby I am gonna be okay. We're gonna be fine. I promise." I assured him. My shoulder was wet and at the moment I realized that Jamari had been crying. "I'm sorry for acting the way I did." He said. I smiled. "It's okay. Now I know why you acted that way. I understand. It's gonna be okay. We just have to hope for the best." I tell him. He smiled at me. "I love you so much." He says to me. "I love you, more." I said to him.

"Trick or treat!" We said. I helped my 2 year old daughter hold her trick or treat bag open. A nice older lady put a bunch of candy in her bag for me. "Say thank you, mami!" I said. "Tank you!" Valeria says. The lady smiled. "You're welcome sweetheart. You look so cute in your little lady bug costume, my goodness!" She says. Both Anthony and I smiled.
It was Halloween. Anthony and I were out with our princes, trick or treating. Even though she just turned 2, it was my lovely husbands idea to take her out. Why on Gods green earth? I don't know. You'll have to ask him yourself.
"You got so much candy,mama!" Anthony says to our child. "Candy that she most likely won't even eat because she just turned 2." I said, pouring myself a glass of wine in the kitchen. "Tell mommy stop hating." My husband says. I laughed and made my way towards the living room. "Whatever." I said.
Anthony and I were engaged for 2 years. We finally got married a year ago with all of our friends and family in attendance. It was beautiful and expensive. But we were happy and that's all that mattered.
We had just moved into a new house less than a month ago. This was our dream house. There were 5 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, grey hardwood floors, high ceilings, an outdoor kitchen, in ground pool, and a huge backyard, big enough for us to have a trampoline.
Anyway, I was watching V play with her daddy while enjoying my glass of wine. My phone vibrated as I was about to zone out. My sister, Krystal was calling me. I missed my big sis so I answered on the first ring. "Hello?" I said. "Hey, sister! I saw you posted V in the Halloween costume that I got her. She looked so cute!" Krystal says, gushing over her niece.
My relationship with my sister has improved in so many ways. I mean we were always close but after I became a mother, our bond grew stronger. And to be completely honest, I didn't think that would be possible. We were already two peas in a pod. Our kids were already best cousins.
I smiled. "I know! Thank you for the costume cause honestly I had no idea what I was gonna dress her up as." I tell my sister. "Of course! How was Halloween for y'all, though? Did you take V out?" Krystal says. I sighed. "Chile, you know we did. It wasn't my idea because she just turned 2. All the Candy she got she can't even eat most of it." I said. Valeria was allergic to peanuts. We found that out the hard way.
"What did y'all do for Halloween?" I asked my sister. "Well, I stayed home with the baby. Justin took Ava trick or treating for like 2 hours. They're home now." Krystal tells me. "Aww, did Ava get a lot of candy?" I wanted to know. "She actually did. But I doubt she's gonna eat all of it. Justin and I are probably gonna eat some of it later." Krystal said. I laughed. "Y'all are terrible." I say.
