Two Months Later

We are finally moved into our new place and I am in loooooove. Chris really meant that I could get whatever I wanted. A beautiful newly built home with 5 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms. An enormous basement perfect for the kids. 4 car garage with a huge driveway.

Ahhhhh, I'm in love!

We're still settling in and decorating. I offered Ariel and Royalty their own rooms but they insisted that they shared. That change once they're teenagers, I'm sure of it.

The master bedroom is like a damn studio apartment! I'm never coming out. Chris wanted to make it sound proof but I thought about when the baby would be possibly lying in there while he's sleep and I run out for a second and can't hear him crying.

So we got surround sound. If the TV is up loud, we're busy and you bet not bother us.

Chris is decorating the nursery, can't wait to see how that comes out. My stomach just grew over night a couple weeks ago. We have two months left until our baby boy arrives. I am very nervous. I'm about to push a baby out! My life was always going a million miles per minute, I never got the chance to sit down and think about when I would have children of my own. At one point I started to think, I'd never become a mom and the closest I'd get was with my siblings.

Then I met my wonderful fiancé that has amazing dick and we have a bunch of sex and now here I am.

Sometimes I want Chris to know how I'm feeling but I don't want to freak him out especially due to how things were when we first found out about me being pregnant.

I know everything will be okay but I'm a perfectionist so everything must be perfect.

Anyway

I was cooking dinner while everybody was out doing their own things. I tried to convince Jeremiah to move with us but he didn't want to. He knows that I just want to shelter him in because of Maine.

Just want to keep everybody safe.

But I can't stop him from living.

The alarm went off signaling the front door. I heard a bunch of talking then Ariel and Royalty came into the kitchen.

"Hi mommy." Ari said giving me a hug then holding my stomach. I finally decided to tell her about the adoption. I never told her that she had to call me her mom but she wanted to. I love it though, I can't lie.

"Hi Aubree." Royalty said while joining Ariel.

"Hello my beautiful babies, how was your day?"

"Okay." They both answered.

"Good, go get ready for dinner."

They ran out the kitchen then I heard their heavy feet up the stairs. The front door slammed closed then Chris appeared. He didn't look happy.

"Hey baby." I said.

"Hey." He kissed my cheek then went into the refrigerator.

"What's the matter?"

"Nothing."

"You sure."

He nodded and grabbed a juice then walked away. Sighing I turned back to the stove and finished up my food. Once I put my chicken in, I went upstairs to check on him.

He was sitting at the end of the bed with his head in his hands.

"You're not okay." I said while wrapping my arms around him. "Whats up?"

"Nia's parents."

"They want to see Royalty again?"

"More than that.....they want custody of her."

"What?!"

"My mother, told them that I'm unfit. I let a woman that I barely know, watch her when I'm not around, I'm barely with her because I'm busy doing whatever."

"Well Chris that's not true so you have nothing to worry about."

"I have everything to worry about Aubree. They know me, they know what I do. My parents and Nia parents grew up together. I have no way out of this. Man I can't catch a fucking break!"

"Baby relax, please. You have nothing to worry about. What proof do they have besides what your mom is telling them due to her being angry?"

"Aubree why aren't you understanding that they know me."

"That doesn't mean anything Chris! It's just a bunch of talk. You have legal businesses. There is nothing to tie you to the shit their saying."

"What about my prior charges? They can look that shit up. That makes their accusations more believable."

"Don't worry about that, I'll handle that....Chris one of the smartest things your ever done was meet me. I know the law in and out and I promise the last thing that's going to happen is your daughter being taken."

"It all sounds good baby but lately I've been having the worst luck so don't be mad if I'm not too excited about what you telling me right now."

I kissed his forehead. "You'll be okay."

"Hope so." His hand landed on my stomach.

"I'm going to finish dinner, unpack some of the stuff up here. Maybe that'll take your mind off of things."

"I guess I can do that. This shit has been in boxes for almost a month."

"Yeah." I chuckled and stood up. "I love you baby."

"I love you too."

Smirking, I headed downstairs. As soon as my foot touch the last step, the doorbell rang. My eyebrows furrowed as I walked over to the door and peeked out the window next to it. Unlocking the door, I pulled it open, coming face to face with a young Spanish woman.

"Can I help you?"

"I'm looking for Chris."

"And you are?"

"Who are you?"

"Um girl, you're at my doorsteps asking for my man."

"Oh so you're the puta that's been trying to take my sisters place?"

"Excuse me?!"

"Chris finally fell for a black girl...cute." She smirked.

"Bitch." I was about to swing but somebody grabbed me. I looked back at Chris. "Get this hoe away from my door before I kill her ass!"

"Maya what the fuck are you doing here?"

"Your mom has been running around spilling all kind of tea about how you living Chrez. And how you got some random girl playing mommy to Royalty but won't let her see her own family."

"Y'all haven't thought about my daughter since the day she was fucking born, now y'all want to come with this bullshit?! And this ain't some random girl, she's my fucking fiancé!"

"Ooooh marry her but always told my sister you wanted to stay friends."

"Man what the Fuck do you want? And don't say my daughter cause y'all never gave a fuck about her before."

"We've always cared about her. You needed our helping raising her."

"I didn't need shit. I had my mother. Everybody filled me up with a bunch of bullshit about how I was going to get all this help and we were going to share responsibility but a few months after Nia died that all changed. I ain't bother y'all, I ain't cuss y'all the fuck out like I wanted to, I just did what the fuck I had to do to raise my daughter and I'm obviously doing a good job no matter what my bitter ass mama out there telling y'all."

"If we go to court Chris you know you're not going to win! We have so much dirt on you. Did you tell your new baby mama how Nia ended up in the situation that caused her to die?"

"Maya, shut the fuck up."

"He pushed her while she was 9 months pregnant the day before it all happened."

My eyes grew and I looked up at Chris. He was fuming.

"GET THE FUCK AWAY FROM MY DOOR!"

"She landed on her stomach, hard. My niece could've died too. All of that because she mushed his face. This bitch ass nigga really ain't shit. Get out while you can sis. I wish I would've met you before you got pregnant. You might want to be careful baby girl."

"You need to go." I said quickly stepping in front of Chris who was about to smack the shit out of this woman.

"I'll leave but I'll definitely be back." She walked away and I shut and locked the door. I turned and looked at Chris who was now pacing.

"Chris calm down."

"I should've known Nia would tell her.....I didn't mean to push her but she kept touching me and I told her to stop."

"Chris." I grabbed him making him stop and look at me. "Look, I don't need to know that. You didn't cause her to die, okay?"

His eyes flooded with tears. "I did Aubree, I did."

"Baby no. She's just trying to get you upset and it's working. You're not going lose Royalty and you did not harm her mother."

"How do you know? You weren't there."

I sighed, shit he was right. "I don't know but Chris that is the last thing you need on your mind right now. Baby just relax, don't let that bitch get to you."

He took a deep breath. "Can I just catch a fucking break?! First your brother, then my dad and my brother, my mom hates me and is helping those motherfuckas with taking my daughter away. Aubree I swear I'm to the point where I just want to fall asleep and nev-."

"NO! Don't you dare say that. Chris I'm hurt about my brother and you know I blame myself for the way things are with you and your mom. But I got other things to live for and you do too. Our son will be here soon, Royalty loves you, Ariel loves you and baby I love you. If you leave, god might as well take me next. We're going to get through this. Just be strong baby, please."

He shook his head as tears fell. I felt so damn bad for him right now.

"This is too much Aubree."

"It feels like that right now but I promise, it's all going to work out in the end."

He placed his head on my shoulder and just cried.

Exhaling, I rubbed the back of his head.

I got to figure something out.

I have to fix this.
