200 VOTES & COMMENTS FOR THE NEXT CHAPTER
RENAE
Alone.
That's how I felt
I was on my own, everything that has ever happened to me is for my own good, guess it's what I get for leaving home thinking I could handle the real world after being warned multiple times. My mom was right, she's always been right.
Smoke had been gone a little bit over 70 days, they locked him up and revoked his bond. I cried so much the first week he went away mainly because I didn't know what I was going to do next. My baby's father was locked up awaiting trial for murder, I was pregnant and for the first time in my entire life I was on my own. I remember calling Celest that week, I needed someone wise to talk to
The main thing I recalled from our talk was "It's time to put on your big girl panties" And so I did. I cut the sad shit out, got up and started working on this business I had in mind. I got it up and running within 4 weeks, selling bundles and hair supplies brought in a bunch of revenue so money wasn't a problem, even though Smoke insisted that I use his bank accounts I refused to use money that he worked hard for.
I was doing good, days were flying by it almost seemed like time was skipping. Until the baby shower, I nearly cried the whole day even though I tried my hardest to be happy. I'm sure everyone at the party understood my pain though.
"You okay?"Probably was the most asked question that day. Luckily I had Dime and Santana by my side they were making me smile.
With a blink of an eye 70 more days had gone by, my buzz on the internet had gotten bigger, I assumed it's because millions of people wanted to stay updated on Dave's life. It was kinda crazy because I, myself didn't even know what was going on with Dave's trial, sadly, he didn't either.
Every time I spoke to him he wouldn't speak about his trial, in fact he never made our conversations about himself all he ever talked about is me. Asking questions like "Did you eat? How's the baby? How you been feeling lately? What you been doing?"He expected me to answer in full details too
Labor
I went into labor 3 weeks earlier than I should've, surprisingly my baby boy came out healthy. With Dime, Adelyn and Santana beside me I thanked god for allowing me to deliver such a beautiful child. I decided to name him David Brewster Jr, Dj for short.
When I brought him home he seemed peaceful at first, then came the crying every other hour, he was constantly hungry, he had really bad gas which caused him to fuss a lot.
I was overly stressed but I refused to put my problems on anyone else so when someone tried helping me I declined. I felt like since I got myself into this situation it was only right that I handled everything on my own.
I took care of my child and isolated myself from everyone including the people close to me like Dime and Santana. Every time they tried to get in touch with me I made sure to keep the convos extremely short. Nobody knew how I felt, even though I was the one pushing people away I still felt like no one even cared for real. My business was booming and my son was fed, that's all I truly cared about.
I cradled Dj in my arms, patiently waiting for the officers to bring Smoke to the glass across from me.
Smoke had been dying to see Dj in person so I decided to fulfill his wishes
I eyed Smoke as he walked up to the stool they provided for him and sat down. Smoke looked slightly different, his hair had grown out and it was twisted, he gained a bit of weight but I could tell he'd been exercising. He was still fine as fuck though.
His eyes filled with excitement as he stared at Dj. I grabbed the telephone which was attached to the wall and put it up to my ear, so did Dave
"Look at my boy"Smoke said "Can you lift him up for me?"
And so I did, I lifted Dj in my arms, more toward the glass so that Smoke could see him better
"Look at my son man" Smoke exclaimed "He looks just like you"
"Everybody says that"I sat back in my seat and adjust the baby in my arms
"Wow, I really got a kid out here"Smoke said "I can't even hold 'em"
To hear him say that only broke my heart, tears literally built in my eyes but quickly dried up. I had to stay strong
"How you been though.. dealing with everything?"
"I've been good Smoke, you don't need to worry about me. How have you been?"
Smoke shrugged "Good, I ain't tell you I got court in a few days? They thinkin bout freeing me"
Smoke said the same thing about almost every court date, I'm glad he still had hope because mine is running low
"Oh yeah? Why you say that?"
"My lawyer was telling me how they never had any true evidence I was really just a prime suspect. They had me in this bitch waiting to get sentenced for a crime they know I ain't do... but it's 'aight imma get a check for all the time I wasted in here"
I nodded as I took in everything he was saying, I'd gotten my hopes up about Smoke coming home multiple times. I was slowly losing hope
"He does look like yo' momma"Smoke stared at a sleeping Dj
"Right! he is my moms twin"I adjusted Dj's pacifier in his mouth
"Dime and my mom been asking to see him but I heard you been ignoring them"
"Ignoring them or busy?"I stated "I've been super busy I have a business and a baby now I don't have a lot of time on my hands like I used to"
"I understand that but have you explained that to them?"
"Multiple times, it's bout to get real ugly in a minute cause I don't see why they keep running back to tell you certain things as if I haven't talked to them already"
"Bout to get ugly? Nae ion need you and my family getting into it while I'm in here."
"I'm not getting into it with them Smoke don't worry"
Dj started to fuss a bit, his little cries were so cute yet so annoying. As I slowly rocked him back to sleep I noticed Smoke just staring
"You look beautiful, don't even look like you just had a baby"
I smiled, looking at him "You look good too, you getting buff"
"I know, I been working out a lot"
"You should or else you gon get chubby"
"I been waiting on you to send me some pictures"Smoke smirked making me laugh
He was referring to nudes which I'd been trying to avoid sending him "Smokee, imma send them to you"
"You said that like 2 weeks ago"
"I just had a baby gimme a break"
"You dropped Dj a month ago, you playing"
"Didn't I tell you I been busy?"
"Right, you been too busy for me I'm bout to kill all that shit when I get out" Smoke said making me kiss my teeth
"No you not, You about to sit back and let me run my business"
"You know you don't need to be working Renae"
"Well I am, and no ones gonna stop me"
Smoke stared at me as if he wanted to say something else but didn't instead he looked down at Dj
About an entire 40 minutes had gone by, I decided to leave a little early because I had a meeting to attend before leaving Smoke said
"Imma be out soon Nae, I promise"
"Okay Dave"I mumbled
"You believe me right? Imma beat this case"
I nodded, "Kay"
"I love you and Dj, and imma take care of y'all when I get out"
"I love you too"
Smoke hung the phone up then was taken right back into the prison. I stood up with my baby in my arms then proceeded to walk out of the entire prisons building
