Walking in her direction, Dana leaned down to rub Dae'sha softly on the cheek, "Dae'sha, time to wake up baby, come on."

Because she was already up, Dae'sha listened to her mother, by climbing out of her bed, stretching her arms high above her head.

"Go to the bathroom and brush your teeth, we have to get ready to go."

"Okay," Dae'sha stopped to give her mother a hug, before slowly walking towards the bathroom.

"Shanteah, would you mind getting them dressed for me, while I get myself ready?"

"Yeah girl, go ahead, I got it from here. You go take care of yourself."

"Okay." Dana checked in on Devin one more time, before heading back to her bedroom.

She settled for a black t-shirt and jeans. The sun probably would not agree with her choice in clothing, but she wasn't up for wearing any other color today.

She slicked her hair back into a ponytail, and settled on light makeup.

In the midst of her getting ready, she could feel a slight pressure in her lower abdomen. Not wanting to take any chances, she excused herself to the bathroom.

She sat on the toilet for five minutes, before she realized nothing was coming out. She'd peed enough times this morning, so why was she feeling this way?

When she went to wipe herself, she peeped a spot of blood on the tissue paper. Nothing too major to make her panic though, so she brushed it off, and threw it into the toilet.

Suddenly, her back pain from yesterday, had returned, opting for her to move a lot slower around the bathroom, than she did the first time.

Who knew having a baby a third time would be so difficult? She'd done and seen it all before, so nothing surprised her. Except for maybe this back pain.

She took it easy exiting the bathroom, where she gently sat on her bed and rested.

Shanteah found her with a hand on her stomach and back.

"Hey, you okay?" She asked, as she knocked on the door, in order to announce her presence.

Dana nodded, "mhm."

"Are you sure? You're not in any pain are you?"

"Not really pain, just a little pressure. I had to use the restroom, but I'm fine though." Dana replied, only telling half of the truth.

"Cool, well, the kids are dressed, we can roll now."

Dana nodded, "okay."

Just as she got up from the bed, Dae'sha and Devin came running inside of the room, "hey mommy! Mommy, can I touch the baby?" Dae'sha shouted, as the two piled around their mother.

"Yes you can, but be gentle okay?"

"I will, did she move today?"

"A little bit."

Or not at all, the only reason Dana knew her daughter was okay, was because of the slight kicking of her foot to her stomach, other than that, she felt nothing.

This baby wasn't as active as Dae'sha and Devin was, only at night.

Dae'sha put her hand to Dana's stomach.

"I want to do it too!" Devin shouted, not wanting to feel left out.

"Okay, you be gentle too little boy," Dana warned.

Dae'sha's eyebrows furrowed as she moved her hand around Dana's stomach, "she's not moving mommy."

"Well, maybe she's asleep right now."
