Ok so I think imma change my updating schedule. Instead of updating: Sun,Wednesday, and friday.
Imma start updating Mon, Wednesday, and friday. Wouldn't that be better?
Because the updates would be a day apart.
By the wayyyy. I changed the cover 😊.
Y'all like this one better?
Ignore the mistakes.
August walked over to me, concern all over his face.
I sniffed, wiping my tears. I looked down at there receiver blanket, caressing it with my thumb. " The twins receiver blanket." I smiled, softly looking at him.
" Oh. " he looked down at it.
" Where are they? "
" Downstairs waitin' fo' us."
I nodded then grabbed the box, folding the blanket and put it back into the drawer. " Come on."
" Wait hol' up, can I looked at dat?"
" Yeah, later though."
He nodded. " ight."
I walked out of my closet, stopping when I saw what was on my bed. I saw many bags from Gucci and Louis Vuitton. " What is this? " I said as I motion towards my bed.
August came out of my closet, smirking. " The things I bought ya-"
I shook my head, cutting him off. " I know that, but what are they doing on my bed?"
" Cause they yours."
" Thank you Aug, as much as I love everything you bought me.... your gonna have to take everything back."
His face scrunched up. " Why I gotta do that?"
" Cause I don't need you buying me stuff."
" Its just a gift tho'."
" I know and I said Thank you. I just don't want to be depending on you, or making it seem like I have to depend on you to buy me stuff, when I'm not. I just need for you to stick to buying the twins things, not me. Your there daddy not mine." I said walking out of my room.
" Buh' in bed I was." I could tell he was smirking.
" That was when I was 19. It's weird now since your..... actually somebody daddy." I said turning around, looking at him.
" So, ya' could still call me daddy tho'."
" No that's not happening. " I shook my head.
" Mhm, we'll see. Buh' look at tha' stuff I bought ya' as ah push present. Fo' pushing out 2 beautiful baybehs guhs."
" N-"
" Plea' baybeh." He grabbed my hand.
I looked down at my hand then back at him, giving in. " Okay. " I agreed even though I didn't want to. " But just this one time ."
" Just 'dis one time." He nodded as we made our way downstairs. I walked into the kitchen and made our plates of pizza. " We'll talk about Arianna later okay? And thank you for buying this." I said referring to the pizza.
" No problem baybeh and plea' don't be mad at ha' righ' na', it was ma' fault. "
I eyed him for a second. " Mh okay, as long as she didn't curse you out, we're fine."
He nodded. We walked into the diningroom, we're the twins were sitting. " Mommy!" They squealed when they saw me.
I smiled. " Hey babies. " I missed my baby's so much. Even though I needed the small break, I was thinking about them the whole time.
August gave them there plates. I sat down, next to Abrianna while Aug sat next to Arianna. We said Grace before eating.
" How was you guys day?" I asked, taking a bite out of my pizza.
" Good. We made ah bea' mommy."
" Y'all gon show me, when we get done eating?"
" Mhm. And daddy brought lots and lots of toys." Abrianna smiled, extending her arms.
" Is that so?" I looked at August. They already had a whole lot of toys, so why buy some more. Half of the toys they do got, they don't play with them. They nodded, smiling widely. " Thats good, did y'all say thank you?"
" Yes mommy. "
" Yep, yep."
I smiled. " Good. Y'all didn't give daddy a hard time right?"
They shook there heads. " No."
" We didn't mommy." Abrianna said.
I nodded, takin a bite out of my pizza.
" Mommy, we livin' wit' daddy na'?" Abrianna asked.
I shook my head lookin at August. " Why you asked that?"
" Cause we got rooms at daddy hows."
" Thats cause y'all gon' be stayin' wit' meh ta' and I want y'all ta' be ova' at ma' house ta'. So I'm gon' have ta' get y'all rooms done soon."
" Mhm." Arianna hummed, looking elsewhere.
" Oh okay."
" So mommy get ah room ta'." Arianna asked, looking at August.
" Well no, cause when eva' she gon' be at ma' house. She gon' be sleepin wit' meh."
" Oh."
I glared at August, shaking my head. I'm not going to be sleeping in that nigga bed. Just imagine how many bitches he fucked in that bed. He gon' have to get another bed, before I sleep anywhere.
" So did y'all have fun today?"
" Yes mommy. " Arianna responded back almost instantly.
" That good peanut, what 'bout you Ladybug? "
She nodded, smiling. " Yes I did! Mommy why ya' call meh Ladybug and Ari peanut."
" You guys wanna hear the story ?"
They nodded. " Mhm."
" Okay so imma start wit Ladybug. So mommy was in her room..."
I wiped my tears as I got comfortable in bed. I was in my feelings no doubt and I was extra emotional since I'm pregnant. I had music lowly playing in the background. Which I now regret because Ashanti was playing and everyone now's she be in her feelings. Her song Foolish played on shuffle.
It was one of my favorite songs by her but now I didn't like it. It's been 4 Months since August and I broke up but I still haven't got over it. I mean who would, when there pregnant with his children. We were suppose to be a family and I was suppose to have my happily ever after. We was suppose to get marride, live in a nice neighborhood and have good jobs and all that. But no the nigga had to cheat and ruin everything.
You said you loved me, no one above me
And I was all you had
And though my heart is beating for ya
I can't stop crying
" Daejah open this door girl. " Davontae yelled while banging on the door.
" No!" I yelled. I know I was gettin further and further into depression. I tried to keep my spirited up but I'm always sad.
I was hurting.
I don't know how
I allow you to treat me this way and still I stay
" I'm 'bout to bust this door open." He yelled.
" Go ahead, ion care. " I sniffed, wiping my nose with my arm. Truth Is I know he wouldn't do it.
He smacked his lips. " Please bunny." His voice cracked.
" No." I mumbled, picking with my nails.
" I'm tired bunny. You gotta stop." He sniffed. I didn't respond back. I snugged closer to my Snuggle . A stuff animal Davontae gave me when were 4 years old. He got it for our birthday. It was a bunny. And I kept it ever since.
See my days are cold without you
But I'm hurtin' while I'm with you
And though my heart can't take no more
I keep on running back to you
I shifted in bed, looking up at the ceiling. My hands went to my bare stomach. I know I needed to get better for them. Lord knows I do. It's October and they'll be out of me in January. I only had a couple months to go.
And I wasn't ready.
" Daejah come on you need to get out this room." Momma said against the door.
" But I don't want to."
" It's not what you want. It's what's best for the twins and you. You want to miscarry? "
" No momma."
" Then getcho ass up in the next 3 minutes."
" Okay."
I looked at my phone, searching for a text that I know I wasn't gonna get. Sighing, I put my phone down on my nightstand that was right beside my bed. I rubbed my stomach more as I tried to calm my nerves. I closed my eyes, taking a deep breath then exhaled.
I felt a big kick from my left side, It was Abrianna. " I know momma, I know. " I sighed, opening my eyes. I looked at my stomach, wide eyed.
A Ladybug was sitting there. The same spot Abrianna kicked me at. I quickly grabbed my phone and took a picture of it.
" Watch are you doing in here." I mumbled, sitting up.
Another kick .
I chuckled. " Okay Abrianna, I'm getting up." I let the Ladybug crawl on my finger then slid my way out of bed. I walked towards my window, then looked at the other.
They both weren't even open. " What the fuck." I mumbled as I placed the Ladybug down. " They play to much." I rolled my eyes.
I doubled- no tripled checked to see if the window were open. But they weren't. Where the fuck it come from then?
I opened my window up and let the lady bug fly away.
I know now, it's some type of sign or a form of good luck. I went around my room and cleaned up any mess I had. I put on some clothes and slipped on my slides. I grabbed my phone along wit my headphones. I opened the door, seeing davontae about to knock on the door. His arm dropped.
" Your dress?"
I nodded,smiling. " Yeah, where we going?"
" Anywhere you want." Davontae smiled.
That's how I got the name Ladybug from. " I smiled.
" Awww. " they cooed, smiling.
I looked over at August who was smiling but I could tell he was feeling some type of way.
I bit my cheek and decided not to say nothing about it. " Now meh mommy!"
I nodded, looking at Arianna. " Now how I got the nickname peanut. So um it was the day I found out I was having twins I - lemme call Auntie Ari ." I grabbed my phone and called her.
" Hello." Ariana said, her breathing pattern way off.
I shook my head, already knowing what her and Davontae where doing. " Hey Ariana. "
" Hey girl. Girl you know you stopping me from getting some- the twins with you?"
" Yep and I'm stopping you from getting some icecream right? "
She shuffled around a bit. " Yeah." She sighed.
"Hey Davontae. "
" Hey bunny." He cleared his throat.
" So I called you because I was explaining why I gave Arianna the nickname peanut. You remember? "
" Yeah, I do." I could tell she was smiling." So it was the day, y'all momma found out she was having twins. When she left the clinic, she started craving peanutes. Which I thought was weird cause y'all momma hate peanuts. "
" It's nasty." Arianna said.
" Suppa' nasty,ew." Abrianna faced scrunched up.
Ariana Chuckled." Yeah it's , so we went to the store and brought her 5 bags of peanuts along with a bag of trail mix. It was only a 5-10 minute drive back to the house and she ate all the bags of peanuts."
" Wait so mommy ate allll of the peanuts." They awwed.
I nodded. I won't ever do that shit again.
" Yep, she did. I don't know how though. But anyway we walked into the house and she rushed to the kitchen, grabbed jar of peanuts and ate it all up. I don't know how or what came over y'all momma that day but it was crazy. But yeah that's how, you got the nickname peanut."
" Thank you Ariana. Now you can continue to get your icecream."
" Gladly, I love yall."
" We luh ya to!"
" So, so so much!"
I hung up, chuckling. " But at the end of the day, I end up throwing it up."
" Ewww."
August and I bothed smiled." Yall done?" I said, referring to there plates of food.
" Yes." They nodded.
I grabbed there plates, standing up.
" Can we get some icecream? "Abrianna asked.
" Not tha one auntie Ari gettin' righ' na'." August shook his head.
They bothed frowned. " But-"
" Yes y'all can get some icecream. " I said, walking into the kitchen. I put there plate in the sink and grabbed some icecream. I put some in bowls then walked into the diningroom.
" Thank ya mommy."
" Welcome." After they got done eating I cleaned them up. August and I helped them into there pajamas. We laid them down for bed. Soon as they hit the pillow, they were out. We walked out of Ariannas room into mine.
" Baybeh?"
" Yes August. "
" Ya want sum icecream?" He smirked.
I looked at him. " We just had icecream-really August. " I straight faced him. " If I did want some icecream, I wouldn't want it from you." I lied.
" Lie again, I dare yo ass ta' lie again. You was'ent sayin' 'dat 'dis mawnin' when I had you moanin'. Am I not righ'?"
I didn't say anything, but just pick up the bags he got me. He moved closer to me, licking his lips. " Am I not righ'?"
" You right." I cleared my throat.
" Dats what I thought." He smirked.
After putting away the clothes, and purses he brought me. I sat down on my bed. I really wanted some icecream ." So how'd today go?"
" They were good, It was just one small problem at ma' house."
I groaned as I put my head against the head board. " It was hailey right?"
" Don't get mad at meh ight." He sat down next to me.
" I ain't promising shit, but I'll try to keep my calm."
" Ight so I was takin' a showa' while I got T, to watch them in my room right. "
" Okay." He then explained to me what happened. Which made me mad, but would could I do about it? " I mean Aug, you just gon have to get your girlfriend in check. She's not bout to be disrespecting me or the twins. I'll beat that hoe ass, you know I don't like her. Y'all can still date or whatever. I just don't want her around the twins. Or the twins being affected by her actions. "
" I unda'stand 'dat, I just didn't think she'll go 'dat crazy. Ya' kno' I would neva' put tha' twins in harm's way and I'm sowry."
" Every parent is not perfect, we learn as we go. "
He nodded, looking at the picture of the twins, when they were fresh out the womb. " This Shit crazy, 'dey look just like ah nigga. I swea." He smiled.
" They really do, when I was holding them for the first time all I could see is your in them, there lips, nose, eyes, ooo I'm so glad they dont have your pointy ass chin." I laughed.
He smacked his lips. " Dats what make meh sexy, ya kno ya loveee it." He smirked.
I smiled. " I guess, I do." I pulled on his chin hair. " Enough 'bout your chin, now Arianna. What she done did."
" Ion think she like meh." He looked away.
" What?" I chuckled.
" Ion. Think. She. Like. Meh."
" Why you say that?"
" Cause she ain't showing it."
" Just cause she's not showing it, that don't mean she don't love you Aug. "
He sighed. " What if she neva' show it and she don't luh meh. " He said, his accent getting heavy. I looked at him directly in the face. Just as I thought. He was crying. I sighed. " August."
" Baybeh. I'm tryin' tha' best I can wit' tha' twins."
"I know you're. Your just gonna have to give it time."
" How long bruh." He sniffed.
" Days, weeks, months, years. I don't know, your just gon' have to give it time. August it's literally been a day, what you expect them to jump in your arms?"
He nodded. " Yeah."
" Oh my lord." I shook my head, sighing. " Look Aug, when I first had the twins and brought them home it was hard as hell. Especially without you and there was only one of me. I was tired and exhausted. I remember this day I got Abrianna to go to sleep but Ari, she wasn't having it. She kept crying and crying, I didn't know what she wanted. I fed, burped her, changed her diaper, I even gave her, her pinky which alway calm her down. But that didn't work. I wanted to give in right then in there. But it clicked. She wanted you, she wanted to here your voice. I grabbed my phone and played your music, and guess what?" I looked at him but he continued to look down at the box. " Guess what happened August? " I lifted his chin.
He looked at me finally. " Arianna got quiet then fell asleep."
I nodded, smiling. " Yeah, Aug. They both need you in there lives. Arianna might not show it but she loves you. So does Abrianna. For Arianna it's hard, she don't want to let her guard down then get hurt when she let somebody in. Just like me I don't let anybody and everybody in my circle so I won't get hurt at the end. She probably just don't wanna get comfortable then you leave. "
" Buh' I ain't gon leave tho'."
" Then show her that. They both can be stubborn but don't let that shit get in the way. They still love your ass, your just gon' have to give it time."
He nodded. " Ight baybeh." He cleared is throat.
I yawned, laying down in bed.
" I'll give it time. I just don't want them to not like meh, ya' kno' what I mean?" He got up and went to the closet and put the box back.
" I know exactly what you mean. I felt the same way when I gave birth to them. "
He walked back into my room, over to me and bend down. My body tensed up when I thought he was going to kiss me but , instead he kissed my cheek. " Thank ya I needed dat talk."
" No problem." I smiled.
" I'll be back tomorrow ight."
I frowned a little bit. I didn't want him to leave. " Can you just stay wit' me 'till I fall asleep?"
He smiled, taking off his shirt and pants. " I was hopin' ya' was gon' say 'dat." He made his way in bed next to me and he gently pulled me on his chest. He inhaled then exhaled.
" Night August. "
" Night daejah." He kissed my forhead.
