(Dyme's Pov)
Waking up to the smell of pancakes and other foods, I slowly sat up from my position to stretch. Damn this baby need to hurry up and come out, I was barely getting any sleep at night with him moving and kicking me.
I moved my legs from the mattress down to the carpet in my bedroom, seeing the yellow school bus pulling up to my house. Shit. Trying to get up faster than I should, a pain grew in my back as I bent over. Damnit pregnancy.
I held my back through the pain and finally stood up. I had to get my kids on the bus before it left them. I was panicking and trying to find my slippers when I looked at the window to see Jay and the kids already in the process of leaving. I stood up straight and went to the window myself, watching him pick up Desiree to give her a kiss on the cheek and placing her on the top step of the bus. Then he looked back at James and shook his hair before giving him a fist bump.
He stood patiently out there until the bus pulled off down the street, now going to the side of the house to bring our trashcans out to the curb. That's when I really started to focus in on him, watching as he took off his shirt because this California weather could kill a person. Then he went up to my car in the drive way to look under the hood, I guess to inspect that tapping sound I told him about yesterday.
Wow, maybe it was good to have a man around the house again. I've been without one for so long, I forgot the perks that came with it. But after I was done spying on my ex, I went to the bathroom...did my business and finally came downstairs. When I did, I could see a plate of untouched breakfast still in the microwave. It smelt so good that I opened it right up to take a piece a bacon and then another one after that.
"Good morning" His voice startled me from behind as I jumped up.
"Oh shit! You scared me" I said, trying to hide the half eaten bacon.
"Why because you're eating my bacon?"
My eyes got bigger. "Ohh wait...how this get in my hands?"
He laughed at me. "Girl please, it's yours anyways. I ate already"
I gave him a smirk. "You play too much, but thank you" I bent down to grab the plate itself.
"You're welcome, and I fixed that tapping noise you complained about. It was just one of your belts being loose. Now it doesn't tap when it's running"
"Oh thank you Jay..." I looked up from eating.
"I also made sure the kids were fine, I got them up and let em wash up. Cooked them breakfast, made them lunch and made sure they got on the bus--"
"You made them lunch?"
"Yeah, ain't they suppose to have lunches. You ain't never make them lunch?"
"Mm Mm" I shook my head. "I thought they fed the kids in school, they have to. And I just don't really have that much energy in the morning to do all that. I know I should though, I gotta get like super parent over here"
"Ha. Nah, you can just take it slow since you're pregnant. I know you need more rest now a days so...I'll take care of the kids aight"
"Awe how sweet. I appreciate the help though. How's your chest?"
"Getting better, it still hurts sometimes but it's healing. They said it takes about....4-6 weeks to heal properly"
"Oh okay, what are you about to do now?"
"Uh, probably continue to look for a job..." he said, stretching shirtless in from of me.
Then he started talking about how his search was going, but I zoned out into his abs. He look like he got darker too from the sun, always attractive when niggas had melanin and sweat glossing up each pack on his stomach. I was so out of my mind, I poked myself with with my fork trying to put a piece of pankcake in my mouth.
"I saw that" he laughed.
I blushed. "No you're just seeing things"
"I see you" he flirted, leaning down on the table.
I blushed yet again and had to look away to hide. I was thinking about giving him some money to get himself back together, and he's really earning it if I do say so myself. "Wanna go shopping?"
"Uh..., why would a man wanna go shopping?"
"Because it'll be about you and not me. I'm a give you some money okay, so you can buy yourself some new clothes, get some new sneaks and get that jungle gym on ya head trimmed...along with that beard too"
"Nah Dyme, you ain't gotta spend your hard earned money on me. I'll make my own money soon"
"Jay....., it's fine. Stop being so stuck up and let me help you. You helped me, so it's the least I can do. Its okay to need a hand sometimes..."
He looked away to think. "Fine, I'll go get my clothes from the wash and get dressed"

:: Minutes later ::
"Wild. Wild. Wild thoughts....Wild-- When I'm with you all I get is wild thoughts" I sang.
"Can you Wild Wild pay attention--you take a picture at every light" Jay said, killing my vibe.
I gave him the eye. "Bitch don't kill my vibe..." I said like Kendrick Lamar.
"Whatever..." he snapped back. "You look really cute by the way, mommy goals" he rubbed my stomach.
"Thanks" I smiled, still looking at the road. "Oh I forgot to ask you,...since we're having a boy. What's going to be his name?"
"Jacob the third..." he stroked his chin.
"Nah it's bad enough he gon' look like ya ass"
"You say that like its a bad thing, Des looks like me...and she's beautiful"
"No no no! My baby girl is her mommy's spliting image, get it right"
"Mhm whatever. Didn't we already agree on a name back when we we're together"
"Heh" I laughed lightly. "Yeah we had it all mapped out, didn't we..."
"Yeah we did, you remember our son's name?"
"It was something with a....S--no it was a D?"
"Nah it was close to Desiree's name right?"
"Uh...." I rolled my eyes thinking.
"Mason! It was Mason"
"Yeah that's it. So we're naming him Mason?" I looked over, stopping at a light behind another car.
"If you still like that name..." he looked over.
"Well while you were away I started thinking about it, and I like the name Warren"
"Warren?"
"Yeah.....no?" I changed my expression.
"Hm......look at my boy War. Warren! Get up ass over here boy. Warrennn! Warren what chu' doing now"
I laughed at his random outburst. "What are you doing?"
"Seeing if I can get used to the name. If we name him that, I already gotta Nick name. War. That's kind of hard"
"It's stupidly.....cute...maybe. So Warren? What's his middle name?"
"Hmm.....I'll think of one. Give me some time...."

When we arrived at the mall about a few hours ago, Jay took me to a couple of his favorite stores. He got a ton of sweatsuits and stuff to wear to bed. We stocked up underwear, which I totally helped him out with by the way😂😋😏 I picked a nice neon cheetah print speedo for him but he quickly denied that.
Instead we stocked up on fruit of the loom boxers and some Calvins. We went to a department store they had in here and got him some shampoo, deodorant, razers, a toothbrush, a big ole brush for them naps, cologne, lotion....all that good stuff. We then went to a shoe outlet and I got him like three pairs of sneakers and a pair of new Tims. You'd think this was my nigga😒 but he's earned it...and I hate to see him without.
Then my personal favorite was when we went to a hair salon in the mall. I watched the barber trim all the weeds and that nappy bush under his neck and chin. Not too much though, it came out nice. He was back to looking like the Jay I knew and loved, just with a few touch ups. But then we went to another store where he wanted to get some more clothes out of, I followed him in the dressing room this time. Being a pervert again. Lord please forgive me...
"You don't have no ass, Jay" I chuckled, watching him walk inside the dressing room.
"I ain't supposed to, and I know ya little having ass not talking. I got more butt than you ever did"
"Ha. Not with them pancakes in the back" I cracked up laughing.
"Yo get out, I know I should've never let you come in here. Looking at my ass and shit" he said, taking a seat.
"Oh shut up and strip" I folded my arms, waiting.
After that, we left the mall and went to Babies 'R' Us. I thought I should get a few things for Warren since I got his daddy something.
"Awee maybe I should've gotten a crib like this..." I said, walking up to a crib on display.
"It comes with its own mobile and everything" I continued talking to myself and walked off.
I came up to the toddler section, seeing little play tables that are just so cute. I swear this store gives you baby fever.
"Awwwe, let me write this down on things to get later. ....Jay?....Jay!?" I called for him.
"I'm in this aisle" I heard him say.
After filling out my list again, I walked off in the direction where I heard his voice came from. Now entering an aisle with potties and seeing Jay helping some girl reach for something off the shelf. Once he got it down for her, she smiled at him and asked him questions like hoes tend to do. Just so she could look at his muscles through his shirt as he blindly kept talking.
....and what does Dyme do when she gets jealous...
"Baby there you are! Come on...we have to go pick out our children's clothes. All eight of them" I smiled happily, coming up to both of them.
"Awe, you two have eight kids?" The girl asked.
"Mhm, soon to be 10 in a few days, we're having twins" I referred to my huge stomach.
Jay looked down at me with a "really" expression on his face. I just smiled happily and linked our arms together.
"Oh..uh, congratulations. Have a good day now" she gave me a phony smile, but smiled at Jay normally.
I pulled Jay from the aisle and laughed when his death stare burned a hole in my perky cheeks. "I can't believe you"
"What? I was just playing, she shouldn't be tryna pick up guys at a baby store. Clearly he had a kid...and she probably just wanted you to take care of hers next. You wanna pay child support again? I should get a thank you..."
"Nah, I just think you got jealous there. Maybe you do still care about me, it's showing day by day..." he said making me blush.
"Nooo, I was just being a nice friend"
"Mhmm, keep lying. Its cute when you're jealous"
"Cute my ass" I unlinked our arms roughly to walk by myself.
"Awe you're admitting to it? Awe Dyme, give me hug..." he reached out his hands.
"Don't touch me weirdo" I laughed pushing him away.
But he got me, and trapped me in his arms as we walked unsteady down the aisles. God he's annoying and so embarrassing. Had people looking at us like we were weirdos together.
"Jay get off me-- we look like weirdos"
"So what, you are a weirdo. My sexy weirdo" he said into my ear, causing yet another blush on my cheeks.
"Woah there tiger, go talk to ya girlfriend back there. She looking for you" I pointed behind me as he still hugged around my neck and shoulders.
"And I'm waiting for you...., she can keep waiting until her heart's content. I got mine"
"Yeah we'll see, if you got me then feed me and drive us home"
