Let Her Leave (BWWM) (#Wattys2017)

Labor and Delivery

Eric was laying in bed with Nubia.

She was having bad pains in her back and Eric took the day off work to stay with her.

"How do you feel?"

"I still have pain."

Eric was worried because this was the same pains she had when she had her first miscarriage.

"Do you want to go to the hospital?"

"No I don't think I need to. I think the babies are pressing into my back."

"Okay."

A few hours later...

Nubia had fallen asleep and Eric was cleaning.

While cleaning, he heard a knock on the door which he was shocked because nobody should know where they lived.

He looked through the peephole and saw that it was Giselle.

He decided not to open the door.

"Eric I know you live here. Just open the door!"

He wasn't sure why she was so obsessed with him, they had sex once and it was way before him and Nubia met.

He knew that he needed to just ignore her and hopefully she would go away.

Eventually, Giselle went away and Eric finished cleaning and started cooking for Nubia.

"Baby. Wake up."

"Eric. I'm tired."

"I know, but you need to eat. You only ate some grapes."

"Ugh fine."

He helped her up and helped her to the table.

"What did you cook?"

"Just some lasagna."

"Really?"

"Yeah. I thought you might like this."

"Thank you."

She gave him a kiss and sat down.

After eating, Nubia wanted to go for a walk and Eric helped her put on some shoes and they left.

"What are we gonna name the babies?"

"I don't know. Whatever name you pick, I'm fine with Nubi."

"I was thinking maybe Bailey and Nia."

"If you like, I like it."

"Okay."

"How do you feel?"

"I feel better."

"That's good...Giselle came to the house."

"Are you serious?"

"Yeah. I just ignored her until she went away."

"Okay. What is wrong with her?"

"I don't know."

"You really put it on her."

Eric laughed, "I guess so."

"I thought we would have problems with the other women."

"Yeah."

"Eric, I was joking."

"I know. I just wish you wouldn't say stuff like that."

"Okay. I'm sorry. I thought it was funny."
