For Marli

Preface

We we're both in the moment. Our sex was far too passionate for us to just be strangers. It felt good, but everything feels good off the liquor. Who would have known a one night stand could lead to a everyday reminder...

"Congrats on the baby girl, she's gonna come out beautiful like her beautiful mother." My Great-Aunt Lucille said just rubbing on my stomach and smiling in my face . She went and got seated as my mother came up to me. "She's one shady lady, I hear her talking bout some oh I wonder where the daddy at. Must be a deadbeat already or she just don't know who it is. She need to be worried bout her son that can't stay out of jail. So I but in and say, what's your son in jail for now? Shut her up quick. I just never liked your daddy side of the family."

I lightly chuckled and shook my head. One thing about my mother she'll go to war for me. My full protection. My father is the same. Through whatever he still sticks beside me. They were a tad bit disappointed about me not knowing the father of my child, but grateful for having their first grandchild.

It was good to see everyone here for my gender reveal . It's good to have the support I have. My parents put together the gender reveal, they've already worked on the baby shower, my mom set up my maternity pictures, and they already put aside money for the medical bills. They really made this pregnancy stress free for me knowing that I was doing it alone.

Sitting at my table, I couldn't help but wish I had my husband next to me. Like I've always thought I'd get married first then have kids. I never thought I'd be the one who didn't know the father. I forgot how his face looked like I know if I saw him I'd  know but I just didn't off memory. I felt kinda embarrassed, but I'm still thankful for the blessing. Thankful for the support I have as well.

Based off all the things  I got, I know baby girl is gonna be so loved. And guaranteed spoiled.
