Zac: Hey baby your still in bed
Fatima: Yeah I feel drained and Zaya is sitting right at the bottom of my pelvic
Zac: Do you want me to massage you
Fatima: Yes that may help
Zac: Lets see if daddy can get babygirl to move
Zac started talking to Fatima stomach
Now Zaya you over here hurting your mama we need you to move around for a little.
Zac starting massaging Fatima stomach every time Zaya would move for a little then move right back into her favorite spot
Zac: Babe I don't know I think this is her favorite spot
Fatima: I see
Zac: Let me run you a hot bath hopefully it will help
Fatima: thank you baby
Zac: I can call Holly
Fatima: No I'll just take a bath and get back in bed and rest. If I am still in pain later we can call her
Zac: Okay
Zac ran Fatima bath water and laid out something comfortable to put on
While she was in the bath Zac changed the sheets and placed fresh hot sheets on the bed. He fluffed up the pillows and got everything ready for Fatima when she was done.
He even made her a little sample platter of her favorite pregnancy cravings
Fatima walking into the room
Fatima: Really babe this is so sweet and you got my faves
Zac: I wanted to make sure you were comfortable
Fatima: Thank you
Zac: Are you crying
Fatima: It's Zaya not me she taking over my entire body and my hormones are all over the place and I got my first stretch mark see
Zac: Kiss Fatima stretch mark, babe you're almost to the finish line and your body still looks amazing. I can't take away any of your pain but I can help you be comfortable.
Zac hugged Fatima she just laid her head on his chest.
Fatima was normally strong but this pregnancy stripped away that hard side and made her more vulnerable. I know Zaya is going to soften Fatima's hard heart. I don't think the hardness is going to go anyway it's going to be tucked away just in case somebody needs to be reminded
Come on lets get you lathered up and smelling good
Fatima stood there naked body glowing and stomach stretched far out
Zac took his time massaging in the shea butter and oil into every inch of Fatima's body. He slid the oversized t-shirt over her head.
Fatima: Thank you
Zac: Stop saying thank you it's my job to made sure your straight
Fatima: I know I am just showing my appreciation
Zac: You're more than welcome just relax and get some rest. I am going to get the rest of Zaya's room finished
Fatima: I want to help
Zac: No ma'am just rest Tony is about to come and help me finish putting the stuff together
Fatima: Okay if I'm sleep wake me up when you're done so I can come look at it
Zac: I will now eat and rest
Fatima: Okay daddy
Zac: That's Zac daddy
Fatima: Get out
Tony showed up him and Zac got to work. they finished putting up the crib and the dressers
Tony: This looks really beautiful I can't believe your about to be a girl dad
Zac: I know man my crazy ass finally got it together
Tony: Took a while but you did it. I think I am ready to settle down too
Zac: Tony trying to tie the knot
Tony: I think so man, I think Ebony is the one
Zac: Who would have thought you would be marrying Fatima best friend
Tony: I know it's crazy but I had this feeling since the first day I met her
Zac: Hey they say when you know you know
Tony: I am going to run it past Fatima then look at some rings
Zac: Go for it bro if she makes you happy then make her happy by doing the right thing
Tony: I'm going to go for it
Zac: Man thanks for helping me, Fatima is going to be happy everything is finally done

Tony: It was all in Gods timing
Zac: Look at you with the word
Tony: Me and the Lord have been talking heavily lately
Zac: That's what's up I had to call on him myself a couple times. I am trying to be more intentional and not just praying or calling on him when something goes wrong.
Tony: Same you and Fatima should come to church with Ebony and I one Sunday
Zac: Ebony done got you in church I know she a keeper now and of course we can come after Fatima have babygirl

Troy: Look at you the Zac I knew in the past is gone
