Anna, Clinton and Austin walked in siting down boxes.

Anna pulled me into a tight hug and kissed my cheek. "I'm so happy to see you!" I smiled.

Clinton pulled me into a hug and I kissed his cheek. He bent down to my ear and whispered "He's realizing what he's losing.." I bit my lip and nodded. "I know." He smiled.

"You're giving us our first grandchild huh?" I nodded. "Looks like it."

"Are you excited?" Anna asked starting to help me unpack into my new house.

I was starting over again but this time I got all my furniture before I moved in here. Now I was hanging up pictures and putting down pillows.

The doorbell rang and I let Kaylen, Jamie, Cam, Chris and Devin in before giving them something to do since I could do much myself.

Cam gave his mom a kiss and hugged his dad before coming over to me. I was in the kitchen taking my new plates out of the boxes carefully.

Cam came behind me and put the plates in the cabinet above me. His body brushing against mine sent a shock through me. It had been so long since I had been touched in that way and I honesty needed that right now.

He brushed my hair to the side and grabbed my waist causing me to close my eyes. I sighed and he kissed my shoulder before walking away. I turned around and watched him walk in the living room. I just shook my head and started taking out the utinsils putting them in the drawer.

I wiped down the tables and counters before walking in the living room. Anna loved to decorate so she had it looking nice. She told me to pick a color for each room and she would do the rest and she did. Her and Clinton and Austin had carried at least eight boxes of decorations for the house and I had to admit. It looked good.

"Where's Cody?"

"Right here. Wassup Minnie?" He pulled me into a hug and kissed my forehead. "How you been?" I nodded. "I'm fine."

He nodded and grabbed my hand pulling me into the corner. "You really aight?"

"I'm scared honestly. I don't want to do this alone." I said. I could always talk to Cody. He had this way of talking to you where he got his point across and he showed you that he cares at the same time. He never automatically sided with Cam, he actually thinks Cam is an idiot. Cody was just like Clinton.

He nodded. "You got everyone behind you two. Cam might be an asshole, but he gone be a damn good father I promise you. If he not here, imma be here. I know that nigga gone be traveling a lot and nobody's taking into account how that's going to affect you and his relationship with his son but I have because it will. If you need something call me. I'm that little niggas uncle, so if you need it, I got it, Austin got it. Dev, Chris or Tj got it. You heard me? This family is bigger than the three of you."

He bent down and gave me a much needed hug before smiling and walking away..

"Kyra, come tell me where to put these." Chris yelled.

I walked over to him and squatted down to read the side of the box. "These are my clothes. Go sit all of these in my bedroom." He nodded.

I grabbed Jamie and Kaylen and dragged them up to my room. Anna had already did my room decor so we were going to get my closet in order.

"Kyra, you have too many fucking clothes girl." Jamie mumbled before kissing Chris who had just sat the last box on my floor.

They were so cute.

After he walked out, we started putting all of my shoes on shelves and my clothes on hangers with took forever since Kaylen thought everything should be in sections according to color. It was a great idea, it just took a long ass time to do it.

"If you want to throw anything away, dump it in that box so I can take it off your hands." I laughed and shook my head. "Alright, but if you can't fit anything or if you don't want it, send it to Ariel or Noni. They both steal my clothes anyway." She nodded.

I tried on a pair of heals but my feet were suffocating in this. Curse this fat life I'm living. I kissed my teeth and placed them back on the shelf as Jamie and Kaylen laughed at me.

"Blue?" Cam shook his head no and keep flipping through the color pad as we stood in the paint section of Home Depot. "Naw, that's too cliche."

I kissed my teeth. "No it's not stupid. Let's choose like a teal or something."

"Naw, that's girly as fuck." He said laughing. I rolled my eyes. "Okay so you choose then."

Cam pointed to a orange and I bit my lip. "Okay, but under one condition."

"Oh, so you putting yo foot down now?" He asked chuckling. I mugged him. "Hush. One condition."

He nodded. "Aight, what is it?"

"We use orange and baby blue." I said pulling out another tab. He nodded. "This will look nice with a dark brown crib," I agreed.

We got some orange and white paint and headed back to my house. I opened the door and sat my purse down before heading up the steps. Cam went into the baby's room as I changed into a tshirt and some yoga pants

I walked in the room and Cam was already putting the tape up across the wood panels Cody had put up. I really wanted him to paint the walls but I wanted the baby's room to be something me and Cam did together.

"Lets get started." He said pouring the white paint into the tin and handing me a brush as he took the orange and got on a ladder.

I turned on my iHome and started to paint. I carefully went threw the lines occasionally glancing up at Cam who was extremely focused. Cam already liked to paint, so he had no problem doing this. About two hours later, I was tired and Cam said he would finish it for me.

I went in my room and took a nap. When I woke up I still heard the music playing so I peeked in the room to see Cam was still painting as he bobbed his head to whatever Drake song was playing. He was almost done.

I shut the door and walked down stairs and into the kitchen. I dialed Anna as I got the stuff out for tacos.

"Yes, baby?" I smiled. She called me that all the time and I loved it.

"Cam is almost done painting the room."

"What colors did you two pick out?"

"Orange and baby blue. Cam wants a chocolate brown crib."

"Alrighty... I'll get started on that." I nodded as if she could see me. "Alright, talk to you later. I love you." I said as I stirred the meat around in the skillet.

"I love you too. Tell Cam I said hello."

"I will bye." I took the shells and put them in the oven before I started cutting up the lettuce and tomato putting it in small containers along with cheese and the taco sauce. I grabbed some sour cream out of the fridge and sat down.

I was always tired now and it annoyed me because I'm not a lazy person. I just know that if I get tired I better sit my ass down. I'm almost six months pregnant, but it feels like I've been with child for a damn year. I'm not even that big, but I feel fat.

I put my head on the table and sighed. I didn't feel good. Cam walked in and frowned. "You cool?"

I nodded and got up taking the shells out of the oven. "You can eat and your mom said hey." I mumbled.

I felt his hand grab mine before he sat me down in a chair. "What's bothering you?

"I'm pregnant. bothers me." I said holding back my tears. I'm such a damn drama queen now it's rediculous.

"Like what? You should be happy. Yo kid gone look like me." I chuckled and he wiped my tears away.

"My feet are always swollen, I'm always fucking throwing up! I'm tired. I'm always tired. I'm always hungry, I'm always sick or too hot or too cold. I just want this over with already." I cried.

He sighed and pulled me up sitting me on his lap and wrapping his arms around me, his hands resting on my belly. "I know it all seems like a lot right now, but this little boy inside you is going to be all. You hear me?"

I nodded and sighed. "It's just so hard."

"I know, and imma keep getting up at three a.m. to hold your hair out your face while you throw up everything you've eaten that day and rub your stomach till you fall back asleep. Your going to be fine."

I kissed his cheek and he pulled me into a hug. "Take a deep breath and try to relax a little. You're fine"

I laughed and got up. "Come eat." He nodded and got up getting a plate.

"You remembered huh?" He said biting into one of the tacos on his plate as I did the same. I nodded. "You've done a lot for me over these past few months so, you asking me to cook you dinner isn't that big of a request." He smiled.

"Thanks." I nodded.

"Can I take you on a date?"

I looked at him for a second before I frowned. "A date?"

"Yeah, I'll pick you up, bring you roses, the whole nine."

"No." I said getting up and searching for the tops to the containers knowing Cam is going to either come back for the left overs or eat them later if he spends the night.

"No? What? Why not?"

I sighed as I placed the food in the fridge and the other stuff in the dishwasher. I cleaned up our plates and washed them off putting them in as well, ignoring him.

"Kyra?"

"Cameron, your doing too much."

"What are you talking about?" He asked in disbelief. "I'm trying Kyra! You're not letting me be there!"

"I need you to be a father, not my man. You don't owe me shit. I don't need you taking me out..."

He huffed. "Why won't you let me do something, anything with you?"

"Cam, you're in a relationship!"

"So what? You're the one I've always been fighting for. Why can you see that by now?" He said. I could tell he was trying not to raise his voice at me.

"Don't fucking do her like you did me! I know how it feels to have your heart ripped to pieces and as much as I hate Chanel. I'm higher than her too. I'm not settling for this." I turned the water off and faced him.

"Yeah, sometimes I miss the feeling of your lips on mine when you kiss me and tell me you love me. I miss how you would stare at me when you thought I was sleeping. I miss that. I want this! I want us back, but as much as I miss it, I won't settle. I won't be the girl who trusted you too much because let's be honest Cameron, you don't ."

He put his face his his hands and sighed. "I just... I just love you. I just want you to know that. I want you, even when I fuck up, to know that I love you, no matter what the circumstance."

I sighed. "I know you do. I've never doubted that for a second." I said running my hands through his curly hair.

"What you need to understand is that love will only get you but so far before it becomes more than that. It's you telling me in that hotel the day you found out that I was pregnant that you were leaving her, but you still being with her two months later. That's what it's about. Everything I say to you goes in one ear and out the other."

"I do be hearing you Kyra." I shook my head. "You hear me, but you don't listen. You're still the man I met in the hallway. Your still the one who treated me like shit because look at where you are? Look at where you sleep five days out of a seven day week when you have a girlfriend. When you grow from him and become the person I need you to be. I will comeback full force and let you take care of me and go on dates. Whatever you want, but Cam, you're not him."

"Kyra..."

I shook my head. "No."

He sighed and stood up looking completely defeated. "Imma be back later."

I chuckled and shook my head. He's still not listening to me.

I nodded and walked out of the kitchen.

Today, training camp for the season was starting so we had to head to the recreation center and start going through conditioning. I dreaded these few weeks but they honestly did help.

As I walked in the building with Chris, TJ and Devin, Tyrone mugged me like he always does. I was learning to ignore his punk ass. We sat on the weight benches and stretched before going to work. We did every exercise under the sun. We ran a mile and had to jump-rope which was my least favorite of them all.

I laid the towel across my head and bobbed to the music playing in my ears.

I unlocked my phone and sent out a text to Chanel.
