August

I called every one of the fams

I walked back into the waiting room seeing Chandra, KayKay, Chay, Miya, My mama, Aaleeyah's parents, Travis, Rece, T, Teke, and Sneak

"Hey son how's she's doing?" My mama asked

"She holdin' up ma I betta get back before she rips my head off" I said smilin'

She kissed ma cheek befo' goin' back in ha seat

As I was goin' ta walk off Chris and Lira walked in walkin' up ta me

I dabbed Chris and hugged Lira

"Wassup bruh my niece here yet"

"Nah not yet man might take awhile i'm goin' back ta check up on ma baybeh"

"Aight bruh do your thing i'll be right here"

"Preciate' it" I said walkin' off

I felt ma phone vibrate in ma pocket

I took it out answerin' it befo' goin' into the room wit Lee in it

"Yo"

"Hey Aug can you do me a favour and tell Lee to facetime me when Marie comes and that i'm sorry I couldn't make it because I wasn't expecting her to be 3 weeks early due"

"AUUGGESTTT ANTHONY ALSINA get your butt in here" I heard Lee yellin' from inside the room

She must've heard my voice

"Yeh I'll tell ha"

She laughed on the other end "Okay thank you. You could go back what you're doing handling manly stuff like hold her hand even she pushes" She said befo' hangin' up

Brittany was on a business trip in London and Trey decided ta go wit ha cause he dont trust ha boss

I walked back inta the room wit Lee in

I held ha hand and started kissin' on ha cheek

I couldn't stand seein' my baybeh goin' through all dis pain

She was sweatin' uncontrollably and humidity touched ha hair makin' it go all ova thea place

9:39 pm

"I'll see you tomorrow brother tell Lee, head up. I would stay longer but the girls are getting tired and hungry" Chandra said holdin' a sleepin' KayKay in ha hand

"You did enough preciate' it sis" I said hugging ha and kissin ha cheek

I kissed KayKay, Miya and Chay's cheeks too befo' they headed out

Everyone but Travis, Rece, and T left

Rece was sleeping on Travis's shoulder as he listened ta music through his head buds

T was on his phone doing whateva

I walked back inta the room Lee was in

She was sleepin'

She's been in labour for 8 hours goin' through pain she needed dis rest

I sat in the chair beside ha holdin' ha hand I got comfortable slouching down in my chair

I was dozing of until Lee squeezed my han'

I shrugged it off fallin' back ta sleep

"Ow!" Lee said squeezing my hand again

"Baby"

"I know baybeh get some rest" I said flicking ha off

"No baby August baby's coming"

My eyes shot up and I went ta get our nurse

They came back in handin' me the nurse outfit ta wear wit gloves

I put it on

"Is she comin?" I asked the nurse

"Oh she's coming alright. Miss. Rodriguez I need you to push on the count of 3 are you will me?"

Lee nodded her head dizzily with sweat all over her face like she's outta breathe

"Baybeh I gotchu" I whispered in ha ears

"Thank you baby. I hear you nurse"

I wiped ha sweat and lightly squeezed ha hand preparing ha

"3... 2... 1.. Push"

Lee squeezed my hand pushing

"Your doing it Miss. Rodriguez again 3... 2... 1... Push"

She pushed again squeezing onto my hand as ha breathing speed sped up

"Your doing good Rodriguez I'm proud of you one more time 3... 2... 1... Push"

She pushed squeezing my han' tighter

Light screams filled thea room

Lee let go of my now numb hand

I kissed Lee lips and whispered in ha ear "Thank you fa blessin' me ta become a father baybeh"

Lee just smiled

I looked back at Marie who was so precious

"Care to cut the umbilical cord daddy" The nurse said

I nodded takin' the scissors away from ha

I cut the cord where they told me ta

They washed up Marie and got her in a pink blanket

"Who wants to hold their healthy baby first?" The nurse asked

"Her daddy should" Lee smiled ova at me

I took Marie from the nurses hands and held my baybeh

I cried watchin' ha sleep seein' how much she resembled me

I instantly regretted makin' Lee feel like shit when I thought Marie wasn't mines

It's just hard ta trust anyone new in ya life when ya famous cause fake love gettin' thrown at ya left right and centre you ain't een know which one is real

The doctor came inta the room with papers

"Alsina and Rodriguez family?" The doctor said

Me and Lee nodded

He pulls out a paper handin' it ta Lee

"Mr. Alsina you are the father of Marie Alsina" The doctor said smilin' befo' walkin' out

"Happy? That's what you've been waiting on from the day I told you I was pregnant. You got your fucking answer jerk" Lee said takin' Marie from my arms walkin' in tha bathroom

She threw the papers at me as I watched them fall to the ground

I felt like a deadbeat all've a sudden
