2 weeks later . . .
Sierra
" okay here is Baby A and Baby B"
" they are both about 2 pounds each" the doctor said.
" aye doc is that a good or bad thing" Julian asked
" not bad at all, they are doing just fine"
" as for the mother her blood pressure is high so please make sure she stay away from stress"
" will do doc"
I let out a sigh knowing that is impossible.
Especially dealing with him.
After the doctor appointment we stopped to grab some food.
Thankfully I had the day off.
" how you feeling mamas" he asked while eating his food.
I guess he notice the look on my face.
It was sooo much going through my mind.
" fine" I said eating some pasta.
We were at this upscale Italian restaurant. It was his choice and plus he was paying.
" just tell me"
Just when I was about to speak. The most annoying voice came to my ears.
" Julian , what are you doing here with her !?" She said giving me the most ugliest look.
A couple of on lookers was being nosy.
Ughhhh.
" Jade what are you doing here ?" Julian said with annoyed look.
" Well I came here to get lunch, but then I saw you and thought I should stop over, but I see you have a guess" she said rolling her eyes.
Girl grow up, was all I thought in my head.
" excuse me but if you are bothered, you can leave"
She must thought I wasn't gone say nothing.
" I can't believe you, I see you falling into your mother footsteps, sleeping with married men, and not only that either"
I may be pregnant but I quickly stood up getting in her face.
" Bitch leave my mama out of this before you get tossed in this restaurant"
Ju quickly stood between us giving us space between each other.
" hey chill out with all that"
" and you sit down" he said to me.
Boy you is not my dad, but I sat down cause my feet were hurting.
" Jade please leave, DONT forget I own half of this restaurant. I can have you banned"
Damn what all this man do.
She huffed but quickly left before putting on her bougie sunglasses.
I was ready to go by then.
In the car . . .
Julian
It was quiet in my car. We stopped at the red light when she spoke up.
" That's some wife you got"
" Ex-wife me and her been divorce for months now"
" Months ?"
" Yep "
" it wasn't suppose be like that Sierra, we were never meant to be, but how do y'all know each other ?"
" Jade is my sister best friend"
" wait you talking about Claire ? you and that girl are sisters ..... like related ?"
" same daddy different mamas"
" Damn that's crazy my homeboy tried to holla at her realize the type of girl she was and backed away " I said thinking about Brandon.
" yes I know she's a handful" she said shaking her head.
I briefly stared at her as she looked out the window.
" how you think your father is going to react"
" I honestly don't know and don't care" She said rubbing her stomach unconsciously.
We finally stop by the Dream Daycare to pick up Kianna.
" Hello there Mr. Westbrook"
" Hey Ms. Jenkins"
" I'll let cupcake know you are here"
I nodded my head while signing her out.
The sound of little feet hitting the ground alerted me she was starting to walk now.
They grow up so fast.
" hey princess" I said as she fall in my arms.
Of course she start speaking in her own language.
she got excited once seeing Sierra in the car.
Im thinking that she like her more than me.
We drove back to my place, just to chill.
" sooo do you have any plans for the soon to be birthday princess ?" Sierra asked as she attempted do ki-ki hair.
She was a lil fussy.
" ion know, maybe a simple cake and ice cream party" I said shrugging my shoulders.
" really Julian"
" I'm just saying, I only plan adult stuff"
All she did was shake her head.
" maybe I should higher a planner" I suggested.
" Now why do that when you got me"
" so you a planner ?"
" sum like that" she said smirking a little.
" see look" she said showing me pictures.
" I have did my mother 50th birthday party, my best-friend surprise birthday party"
" Aye that's dope"
" Don't worry I got ki-ki in good hands" she said turning her around to face her.
" Ma" Ki - Ki said curiously.
Me and Sierra looked at each other.
She repeated it again.
I grabbed my phone recording her.
The look on Sierra face said it all.
" Ki-Ki who is that ?" I said pointing to Sierra who was in disbelief.
" Ma-ma !" She said excitedly.
Sierra pulled her in her arms. We were both shocked at her words.
" I love you sooo much baby girl"
I smile at the two bond they was creating.
An hour later
" you okay ?" I asked her
It was now 9 at night and Kianna has finally went to bed.
She nodded her head.
" yo I still can't believe she call you mama"
" me either, I guess she is getting use to seeing my face"
" Is that okay with you though ?" I asked
" I don't know to be honest, I wasn't expecting to get attach to her but I guess it's my mommy instinct kicking in already."
" you know I think you are a good fit for her, hell she needs a woman figure in her life, teach her things I won't be able to"
" someone other than my mother" I said staring at her.
" Julian I would like to know what happen to her parents . . . if you don't mind me asking"
I took a deep sigh thinking about them.
" her mother died giving birth, and her father disappeared, he's to worried about getting his dose of drugs" he said shrugging his shoulders.
" oh wow that is horrible, to not put your child as a priority"
" her father and I were are actually family. Looked up to him like a big brother. Use to follow everything he do until he caught him one day getting high. Haven't looked at him the same since"
I can't believe I was sharing this info out. I wouldn't dare tell Jade.
" well look on the bright side, Kianna has a wonderful "dad" who cares about her and I'm pretty sure will do anything to keep her happy"
" you think I'm wonderful" I said smirking while wiggling my eyebrows.
" okay its time for you to get over yourself mister" she said shaking her head.
" I'm just messing with you"
It got quiet between us before she yawned.
" I think Imma get ready to leave"
" you sure you don't wanna stay"
" well look who's caring"
" I'm just saying it's late ion want you to be driving at this time unless I'm with you"
" okay then what imma wear"
I knew I had a couple shirts that would fit her. We walked to my room going through my drawer.
I passed her an old college shirt.
" you went to Howard ?"
" yep class of 2010" I said proudly.
Howard University was an Historically Black College in D.C .
" okay okay I see you"
" the towels are in the hallway closet"
" okay thanks" she said leaving out.
Sierra
I quickly found a rubber band that I would be able to keep my hair in place while I took a shower.
I got in the warm shower using the Dove bar soap.
In the midst I quickly thought about the what If.
What if I have known him before that New Year's Eve party.
I really start to question was this God will.
Like this.
" yo don't be using all my hot water in there" Julian said taking me out my thoughts.
I shook my head at his stupidity.
" boy hush !"
After completely washing off, I dried myself off and lather up in some cocoa butter he had under the sink.
I pulled the large shirt that cover me very well.
It stopped at mid thigh.
I walked out the bathroom feeling the cool breeze. I quickly stopped by Kianna room to see her still asleep.
She was such a little angel. Who would want to leave such a pretty little girl behind I thought to myself.
My little angel.
I silently left her room without making any noise heading to Julian room but I stopped at his door at the sound of him making conversation on the phone.
" Yea she here"
I heard him chuckle a little.
" Nigga ain't shit bout to go down"
Apparently I was the topic of discussion.
I knew he couldnt possibly be talking about Kiki
" I felt sorry for ha, and said she could stay"
" ......."
" Com'on man you know I'm hitting the club this Saturday, so hopefully she will be able to watch ha"
" A nigga miss being in some pussy" he said laughing.
" ......."
" Hell nawl, I ain't trying to hit ha. Ion need no more slip ups G"
" beside I'm not lookin at ha like that"
Okay I was done listening to the conversation. I calmly sat in the living room thinking of what should be my next move.
I shook my head at his words.
It's like he says one thing and says another to his friends.
" yo you good"
He came out his room in only some grey joggers.
Lord please let my hormones calm down. I suppose to be mad not lusting.
I couldn't help but stare at his slightly damp tattoos that covered his chest.
Never knew he had those I thought to myself.
" I'm fine why you ask"
" you look like you ready to kill somebody . . . that look on your face" he said smirking.
Yes your stupid ass !
" wow that's crazy but I'm perfectly okay" I said standing up while holding my stomach.
" okay then, you can sleep in my room"
" No I'll be in Ki-Ki"I said as I walk to her room.
I close her door and sliding in bed where she quickly got comfortable laying her head on my chest.
The Next Morning
" up . . . . ma-ma up" I felt some one tugging on the shirt I was in.
Only to see it was little Ms. Kianna.
I check the time to see it was a little pass 8 in the morning.
This is an early baby.
" morning cutie pie" I said giving her kisses making her giggle.
I slid out of bed thinking of some breakfast to make.
" let's see what y'all have to eat" I look through the cabinets, nothing.
Refrigerator, nothing.
Now wonder why y'all always eating take out.
I quickly got her dressed, and put on my clothes from yesterday.
We were both ready to go get breakfast.
I quickly stopped in to check on Ju seeing him still knock out.
I looked at the pillow on his side thinking I should knock his ass out with it.
But unfortunately I did otherwise.
" Ju . . . Ju wake up" I said touching him on his shoulder.
He nudge one bit.
Ok pillow time then.
I slowly grabbed the pillow on his left side wacking him with it.
It was a good wack.
He shot up hitting the ground.
" what the hell" he said looking up at me.
" I tried to wake you but you didn't budge"
" well yo ass should of tried harder" he said sitting back on his king size bed.
" anyways me and Ki-Ki are finna go out for a breakfast date did you want anything back"
He shook his head no.
" nah I'm good"
" you don't have anything in the refrigerator though"
" I know I'll get something on my way to work"
" well okay then" I said leaving out.
I gather me and Kianna belongings and we were on our way out.
