Sapphire POV
I woke up and rubbed my belly. We were finally on spring break at school. I was exhausted because this baby just takes all my energy. Ni had taken off since we are taking a trip to Turks and Caicos. I was so excited to just be on the beach and be away from any distractions. I let my job, parents, and students know I would not be available for contact at all during spring break. My belly was poking out a lot more now because I was skinny beforehand.
I was now 5 months pregnant and we have yet to find out the gender, we planned on doing that when we got back. I said"Ni."
He said, "come on."
I said, "good thing we already packed."
He said, "yeah yeah, you wanna get in the shower first so you can get ready while I'm in."
I said "yeah." I got up and got in the shower. When I got out I put lotion on then blow dried my hair.
After I slicked my hair into a bun and put on my thin long sleeve dress.
This is the first tight thing I've worn since my stomach started showing. I did a natural beat and added lashes.
By the time I finished Ni just got out. I said "I'm bouta make a toaster strudel."
He laughed and said "ok babe, you look gorgeous by the way."
I said "thank you."
I went downstairs and made 2 apple toaster strudels and ate a banana while waiting. I finished making them and then ate them sitting at the island. Our bags were already at the airport because Ni dropped them off 2 days early luckily. He came down as I finished my second one. He said "was it good?"
I said "it was ok."
He laughed and said "why was it just ok?"
I said "cause I'm still hungry."
He said "we'll stop and grab something, come on mama."
I threw my plastic plate away and then washed my hands following him. I said "babbyyy."
He said "yes?"
I said "gimme kiss."
He pulled me towards him and kissed me. He said "better?"
I said "yes." I grabbed my purse and then went to the car.
When I got in the car he said "you got everything? You not missing anything right?"
I said "yeah I got everything."
He said "you got that folder?"
I said "yes babe."
He said "ok." We left and went to the airport. When we got there he always be having his arm wrapped around me protectively.
We got there and went through TSA.
