December 13th, Las Vegas
"What's this one mean?" Robyn asked from her straddled position on my lap. I looked down at the tattoo she pointed at on my right rib cage and smiled. "A Hawk?"
"Yea. When Jay turned sixteen he begged me to get him tattoo so I took him. We both love The Hawks so we got matching ink with our initials on the right wing."
She hummed and ran her finger over the wings which tickled a bit but I wasn't about to show that. Her fingers then danced over my abs before trailing over to my hip. "I don't even wanna know who's lips these are." She mumbled with a sigh at the red lips tattoo. "Especially if it's Aniya."
"It's not.. it was my first girlfriend. The one I told you about in high school." She scowled and pulled my sweats up slightly to cover it. "You jealous?"
Her eyes rolled. "Well no one kisses someone waist line and stops there so I know what happened next." I smirked as she huffed and crossed her arms. "Get it removed."
"What?" I said with a chuckle before resting my hands on the top of her thighs and drawing small circles around her exposed skin. "That shit hurts, hell nah. And it was a chapter in my life.. you know I can't take it off."
She groaned. "What was her name again?"
"Naomi Thomas." I mumbled and she eyed me when I smiled to myself so I quickly cleared my throat and shook my head. "I think.. something' like that."
"Yeah right." She slapped my chest and got serious. I could tell by her tone. "Do you still love her?"
What a loaded question. "Um.." I clicked my tongue before shrugging. "I don't know." Her head tilted in confusion. "I don't know if I loved her.. I was sixteen, seventeen. But I know what love is now and it's nothing compared to what I feel with you."
She hummed. "Nice save." I chuckled before raising up and sliding my arms around her waist, her hands resting on my shoulders. "I think you were always a romantic at heart. You just lost your way."
I nodded. "And you found me.. like a little lost puppy. Gave me a home," she giggled when I leaned forward and pressed a kiss to her jaw, trailing back after every sentence. "Some lovin'.. a lotta lovin' matter of fact." I kissed just below her ear before leaning back and smiling at her. "You know what's one thing I realize?"
"What?"
"You never saw me as lesser than." And it was true. Not once could I think of a time where she put herself above me or treated me like we were on different levels.. "Even when I had five hundred dollars to my name and an old ass Honda.. you always looked at me with equal eyes."
Her hands slid up from my shoulders to cup my face, her eyes holding mine warmly."Level isn't based on superficial value, Y/n. It's on mutual respect and maturity. It may have taken you a little bit to get to the level I saw you could reach but you were never below me and I'll never see you as anything other than my equal."
I could feel that simp ass flow of warmth running through me but fuck it. It felt fucking amazing.
"You don't know man.." I sighed out and tightened my arms around her before resting my head on her shoulder. "You don't know how happy I am I did that goddamn dance."
She laughed softly and kissed my head. "And I'm happy my fans know what I wanna see. We really got the Navy to thank for us meeting."
"Let me thank then then." I mumbled and pulled out my phone to type one tweet without seeing the replies.
@Y/n: I know I can be sarcastic as hell with y'all and I get on your nerves but shout out to the Navy. Got my queen cause y'all nosey, prying asses 🐍
"You do get on their nerves." She said with a slight chuckle.
"They know I fuck with them though." I licked my lips, watching her orbs (greener than ever) take me in. "We need to get married."
"We are."
"It's taking too long." I mumbled.
Her smile widened. "In time baby, in time." I groaned and pecked her lips just as my phone alarm went off. "Figures.."
"Yep." I mumbled and leaned over to grab it to see if was time for me to get ready to head out. First show.. big things. I could hardly wait and I had a people here to watch. My family, Robyn. Dante has a game so he couldn't be here but he let me know he was pop locking on the field for me. Guy was nuts.
Nonetheless, I felt nervous but excited all in one. Nervous because this wasn't just performing in from of a crowd behind an artist. You were the artist. But being apart of something bigger than me.. something so legendary, that outweighed the nervousness by a landslide.
"Do me a favor babe." I said as I sat down on the floor with my legs spread. "Can you stretch me?" She nodded and sat in front of me with her legs cross before grabbing my hands and gently pulling me forward.
"How are you so flexible?" She mumbled when I scooted back and let her pull my arms until I was almost parallel with the ground. "That don't hurt your nuts?"
I snorted. "Nah. I always made sure I was flexible since high school. Can't shake niggas on the field with tight hammies." I slowly raised back up and raised my arms above my head to stretch my shoulders. "And how you think I be getting so deep in you? I got full.. range.. motion." I said with a smirk, playfully rotating my hips to make her laugh.
"Oh is that what it is?" She questioned and inched toward me with a coy grin. "I thought it was just 'cause you came with a big dick."
"That's definitely part of it." I mumbled, accepting her short kiss as she climbed into my lap. "But you can have a long hose and not know how to water the grass."
"Yeah?" She breathed out and pushed me down, her lips taking mine again as I grabbed her waist and pulled her closer to me. "And you can water the grass?"
"You tell me." I said lowly while sliding my hand around her neck and watching her lip get trapped between her teeth.
She nodded. "I think you can.." Her head leaned down to connect our lips again. Then my phone went off. "You gotta go."
"I know." I mumbled with a sigh as she climbed off of my lap for me to grab my phone. "It's Kevin. What's up, Kev?"
"Yo, we're all in the room but you got your stuff right?"
"Yup." I mumbled as I raised up and put the phone on speaker before starting to get dressed. "I feel like you're gonna ask me to do something.." He chuckled.
"Actually yea. Do you mind coming down in your gear? I was suppose to walk through the hotel lobby with Zi but I forgot I had to promote over on the strip. So can you just mingle around, draw up some excitement about the opening show tonight."
"Yeah I can do that. Am I meeting Zi down there?" I asked while pulling on my black skin tight jumpsuit. It was the shit that went under our clothes so that if a pant leg slipped up, or a shirt flapped, your skin would still be concealed. But it also made everything ten times hotter.
"Yeah he said he'll be down there in a moment. Thanks a lot, I'll see you both when you get here."
After hanging up, I grabbed my white pants and pulled them on with the matching jacket.
(Y/n is the yellow. You'll see why in a video I post later in the chapter)
"What'd he say?" Rob asked as I pulled on the black head sock that covered from the top of my head, down my beck, and around to my chin.
"I gotta mess around in the lobby for a bit so you can't leave with me." She pouted whole I slipped on the white shoes. "Cause people will instantly know who I am. Though I don't have to hide my identity.. I'd rather them figure out which one I am."
She hummed and watched me grab my white mask before sliding it on to rest on top of my head. "Yeah I get it. But your mom just texted me that they were pulling up to the hotel so you better hurry if you wanna catch them." I oohed and grabbed the yellow bucket hat before giving her a quick kiss. "I'll see you at the show."
"You better be in the front." I called over my shoulder as I slid the mask over my face and pulled the hat down securely.
I glanced in the mirror by the door, my reflection a Jabbawockeez. How cool was that?
Once I reached the lobby, I stepped out of the elevator and immediately fell into character. My characters name was AJ, Awkward Jabba. In between dancing sections I was the one to trip over my feet, fawn over girls, shit like that.
So when I walked out and people slightly gasp, their eyes looking at me, I waved bashfully and slowly looked around.
That's when Zion came up and we both jumped excitedly before giving one another a big hug which made the lobby break out into laughter.
It was definitely weird acting everything out instead of talking. But it made it that much more of an experience.
As we walked around and 'talked' with others, I saw my mom and siblings walk through with Dahlia.
I tapped his chest and pointed ahead, his eyes following my finger. He looked at me and from his slitted eyes, I could tell he was smiling as he nodded.
We slowly walked toward them and my mom saw us first and her eyes squinted as if she was trying to figure out which one I was. Always tryna know something..
I waved softly and pointed at Dahlia who was in her hold but when she turned her around, my daughter gave us one look before her face frowned up. Awe no.
I reached for her but she pulled back and her bottom lip trembled before the first cry left her lips. I stepped back, my hands on my chest as she cried loudly and turned her head into my moms chest.
"No Dahlia look.." My mom said and turned her to face me. I couldn't take my mask off but I tapped my chin, thinking how I could get her to know it was me. How'd I usually greet her..
I could see the growing crowd of watchers behind me as I backed away and laid on the ground, her eyes following me. I playfully wiggled as I usually did and I saw her confused eyes, followed by mom telling her 'it's mama' before crouching down with her.
Waving my hands for her to come here, I watched her cautiously get on all fours and slowly start to crawl toward me. "Hi princess." I said lowly once she was close enough and that made her freeze. "Come here, Dahlia. Come here baby."
Her eyes lit up as she crawled faster and reached for my mask but I grabbed her hands in time. "Hi," I whispered and raised her up with a wide smile under the mask. To play the part, I turned to Zion and pointed at Dahlia in excitement.
He came over and clapped before doing a dance that made her giggle. The cutest damn giggle at that.
Suddenly stomping was heard and I looked over to see the other Jabbawockeez playfully tapping their nonexistent watch before pointing at a poster that displayed the show title. (That was tonight) I turned back to Dahlia and hugged her tightly before handing her to my mom. I waved at my siblings as Zion grabbed the back of my jacket and dragged me backwards.
I waved widely and took someone's phone, who was recording. I put it in selfie mode and blew a kiss before giving the phone back, smiling to myself when they all cheered as we scurried off.
If this energy was even half of what tonight would be, I was even more ready.
-
Half way through the show. It was fucking amazing.
For this section we were suppose to include someone from the audience. You know who I was going for.
(Watch the video for a visual. I highly recommend it)
We walked-slash-danced out to Computer Love and I already talked to them prior so they knew to go for Robyn. Well, they'd go for Melissa first and she'd say no (most likely knowing my plan) and then they'd go for Rob. It was full proof.
I watched Kev go to Melissa and as I predicted, she shook her head with a wave and I smiled when he started walking past her before stopping abruptly and facing my girl. Her eyes widened.
I tapped Zion on his shoulder, my head nodding for us to walk up to. "No no no." Robyn said as she pointed at me. "I'm not doing this." I nodded and grabbed her hand, all three of us helping her up.
I pointed at her with a nod as the crowd cheered loudly, instantly knowing who it was. My hand raised as I then clumsily high fived Zion which made me stumble over my feet and he pushed me upright, going along with it.
I gave him a thumbs up before looking over at Kev who motioned Robyn to look at him and copy his moves. He then stated to pelvic thrust the air and she laughed, her head shaking as Zion walked up and pushed him away. His turn to make her copy the moves.
He put his hand into fist at his sides in one quick motion and she furrowed her eyebrows. "Oh fuck." She mumbled and I raised my hand to my mouth as some person in the front row 'oohed' I bet it was Jay.
I leaned forward and whispered in her ear. "This is a family show girl." She giggled and shook her head. "Sorry."
Zion got her attention again and he raised his arms and she eyed him oddly so I walked behind her and lifted her arms before stepping back and clapping. She shook her head again but the smile was there.
Suddenly Zi started doing that damn fortnite dance. The one where you do the squatting shit while moving your arms in and out. Kevin pushed him back and shook his head, making Zi sulk and walk behind us which got the crowd 'awing.'
We all lined up beside her and Kev pointed at Zion who was beside him, then to himself, followed by Robyn and me (who was at the end) We all had our hand in front of us in a fist when she mumbled, "Who goes first?"
I tilted my head and gave her a look as we all pointed at Zion. Didn't we just.. okay. Shaking my head, I got back beside her and held up my hand. Then she spoke again. "Are we gonna do a countdown?"
I dropped my head down, the crowd erupting in laughter. So my baby was a little slow tonight I see.. alright.
After she finally got the gist. We each stuck our hand out in order repeatedly before 'Shoot' started to play around the arena. We all did the dance and Robyn laughed before simply shimming her shoulder, then adding a dab. This girl and her dabs.
Once the song stop, we all pointed at her as the crowed cheered and I gave her a high-five before starting to walk her back to her seat, only to turn her around and walk her back to the original spot.
"We not done yet?" She groaned out with a laugh and I shook my head. I pointed at my eyes, then pointed in the opposite direction. She followed my fingers before giving me a look so I slid behind her and turned her head to stare away from me. Kev and Zion walked up and 'distracted' her while I walked to the opposite of the stage.
This was probably one of my favorite bits of the show.
I dug into my Fanny pack before slowly pulling out a single rose. "Aww." The crowd immediately said and I quickly waved them off to shush them.
Looking over my shoulder, I saw Robyn try to turn around but they quickly clocked her view. "I wanna say aww too." She said and I chuckled under my breath before slowly walking over to her. I pushed Zion before I tapped her shoulder once, the guys moving out of the way and the second tap had her turning around. I waved and she smiled widely. "Hi." She said and I waved again, rocking on my heels.
I reached for her left hand and pointed at the engagement ring before pointing at myself and she nodded. I then looked at the crowd and pointed at the ring again before tapping my chest, which made them half cheer and half laugh.
Then, I brought the rose from behind my back just as I Like It played throughout the arena and she laughed when I slid the rose between her teeth, dancing with her.
She danced back with a wide smile before twirling around and lightly grinding against me but in a PG manner. This was a family show.
I then spun around and kneeled in front of her, striking a pose as the beat stopped. As they cheered, I raised up and we all clapped for her. I waved bashfully and she smiled before leaning forward and pressing a kiss to my cheek. Instantly I fell back and Zion caught me while I pretended to faint. They both fanned me, the crowd egging it all on.
When I raised up, I fanned myself and looked at my fiancée who was seated back in her seat while laughing at me. I wiped my 'forehead' and continued to wave before jumping when I felt a slight smack to the back of my head. I cleared my throat and nodded before looking away from her to finish the rest of the routine.
Needless to say, it was some opening night.
-
"You killed it, A Phi." Kevin said and patted my back as I sat in the bench while pulling the white jacket off.
"Thank you, man. I appreciate it." I slipped my shoes off and put them into the cubby of my locker before starting to take off this goddamn skintight suit. With me being on a whole ass football team, I wasn't fazed changing in front of the guys. And I'm sure they felt the same.
I changed into some Black Mecca sweats and a plain white T-shirts with a Fenty x Puma green fuzzy zip up. "I'll see you guys tomorrow." I sung out as I put my mask up in my locker as well.
"Bye A Phi!" They said collectively and I smiled before waving at them, then leaving to see my family. I knew they were in the hotel suite since I told them to meet me there.
"Aye." I smiled at Jay when he opened the door and started to do the robot (horribly, might I add) "If I didn't know what color you were wearing, I would've been confused ass hell." I gave him and Aaliyah a hug.
"Yeah, this year they're playing characters so they have a lot of different colors to go with each one. And I got the yellow so you can't miss me." I waved at my mom before hugging her as well. "What's up miss V."
"What's up miss Jabba." She retorted and rubbed my back. "You looked like you were having a lot of fun up there."
"I was. It's definitely different but a good different. Now where's my babygirl?" I questioned and looked around for her, only to see Robyn walking in from another room with my baby. "There she is."
I smiled when Dahlia reached for me instantly and I grabbed her before tossing her in the air, smiling when she screamed with a cute giggle. "Hi princess. Did you like the show?" She leaned forward and I got the gist quickly so I puckered my lips and let her give me a kiss. "Thank you baby."
"So.. are we gonna get some food? Cause those churros only did so much." Aaliyah mumbled and I held Dahlia with one arm before pulling my phone out to check the time. I had already made a.. special reservation somewhere. Somewhere I knew they would all like.
"Yeah actually. You guys ready to bounce?" I questioned and once they nodded, I reached my hand out for Robyn's and she intertwined our fingers. "Did you like that show?"
"Loved it." She said and leaned against my shoulder. "You're a really good dancer. I forget that sometime."
"What you mean? I always killed it boo." She smiled and looked up at me as I looked down at Dahlia. "Tell her Lia."
Her brown eyes took us both in before she giggled for a second and looked away. I really did make the cutest baby.. well.. one of anyways. Whenever that time came..
Once we reached the lobby, we had to wait a bit for the car to come. "Hey Y/n, hey Rih." A pap said as a few of them walked toward us with the camera. "Is it true that you're a Jabbawockeez?"
I smirked and shrugged lightly. "A what now? What's that?" He laughed as I trolled him a bit. "Never heard of it."
"Well congrats." I smiled and lifted Dahlia higher when she started to lean forward to stare at the ground. I don't know what she saw but she was gonna bust her damn head trying to see it. "You guys have a great night." He said once our Yukon pulled up.
I thanked him and let my family get in first before I climbed in, then starting to put Dahlia into her car seat. But she did something I ain't never had to deal with before. She started crying and fighting from being strapped in.
"Hey," I mumbled and watched in confusion. "Stop it, Dahlia. I gotta put you in." Alligator tears ran down her face as she kicked her feet when I successfully clicked the restraint. I closed the door behind me and looked to see her arms reaching for me.
"Mmama," she cried and I swear my heart broke. I frowned and looked up at my mom instinctively who pulled a pacifier out of the bag and handed it to me without even looking. I placed it in Dahlia's mouth and she whimpered to herself but sucked on it for a moment. A long enough moment for us to pull out of the hotel parking.
Then she spat it out.
My eyebrows furrowed, a frown on my lips as her cries got louder again despite my comforting.
"Let me see," Robyn said from the other side of the car seat. I watched her lean forward and grab her hand before clearing her throat, a smile on her face as she softly started to sing. "Not really sure how to feel about it, something in the way you move. Makes me feel like I can't live without you. It takes me all the way.."
My eyebrows raised when Dahlia stopped crying and stared at her with watery yet curious eyes. As Rob sung out the 'Stay', she reached up and brushed the tears from her cheeks.
I looked around to see if anyone else was seeing what I was seeing and, sure enough, they were all watching. My mom smiled in my direction before tapping her watch, then turning back around. I agree.
With help from Robyn, she managed to keep Dahlia entertained and not crying for the duration of the ride. Man if I don't go ahead and give this girl a child..
"Crystal Palace?" Jay questioned and I nodded, thanking our driver before climbing out. "Why this sound like a strip club.. and if it is, I'm here for it."
I shook my head and carried Dahlia with me, her diaper bag on the other arm. "You bette stop before your girl clock you up."
He titled his head. "What girl?" My eyebrows shot up when he shrugged. "Don't know what you taking about."
"Wait for real?" I mumbled and he silently slid his hands into his pocket, his eyes staying forward. I frowned when he shrugged. Damn..
We walked into Crystal Palace and I smiled at the workers at the front desk who already knew who I was. "You did not.." Aaliyah laughed once we walked through. "You brought us to a skating rink?"
"Yes I did." I said seriously. "We use to skate all the time in the A at cascade."
I rented out the whole roller skate place for a few hours so we could all just chill and have fun as a family. Plus I kind of felt like showing out.
"Rob," I said as I handed her Dahlia. "Can you watch her really quick? I gotta talk with Jay." She nodded. I followed him to the skate rentals before lightly bumping his shoulder. "What's up? What happened?"
He leaned against the counter, his eyes watching the girl grabbing his skates. "She broke up with me." What? That didn't sound like Skylar. She looked head over heels for my brother. "Apparently she lost feelings and she met someone else and didn't wanna hurt me so she ended it. Whatever." I frowned when he shrugged and grabbed his skates with a smirk. "Thank you beautiful." He said with a wink and I grabbed my skates before following after him.
"Jay.. you don't gotta brush it off, I know you love her." I sat next to his as he pulled his skates on. "Take it from someone who suppressed shit for ten years. It's not the route you wanna take. Feel it bro, I'm here for you."
He swallowed thickly and nodded. "Can I feel it when I get to the hotel? I kinda don't wanna be crying in front of Mom.. you know I'll never here the end of it." I nodded in understanding before rubbing his back.
"I'm sorry man. I know breakups suck." After tying the laces, I watched him push off of the bench and skate backwards towards the entrance of the rink.
"Yeah yeah. You still remember our routine?" I could tell he just needed some air and a free mind so I raised up and playfully stretched my legs.
"Let's get it."
The DJ started to play the music, per my request it was some nineties, early two thousands stuff because if were being honest, that was the best era for music.
Jay and I skated around as we did a routine we use to do all the time. It really made me miss Atlanta..
"Wait for me!" I chuckled as Aaliyah quickly pushed out onto the floor and fell in line behind Jay. Yeah.. other people had friends and I had my younger siblings. My ass really didn't have real friends back then, now that I thought about it. Not that I was complaining, these were my twins basically.
As we rounded toward the area where the tables were, I smiled when I saw Rob staring at us with a dropped jaw, my mom cheering us on. "What can you not do?" She questioned.
"This." Jay pushed out of line before starting to spin slowly which gradually sped up.
I smacked my lips and waved him off, knowing I could never really spin as fast as him but I could do something he couldn't. "Alright bet." I pushed back from the wall and did a mini spin before shooting up and backwards, landing a perfect backflip. On skates.
"Oh my God- don't do that!" Robyn called out with wide eyes and I snorted before skating back to the wall. "If you break your neck, Y/n.."
"You sound just like how mom use to talk." My mom shook her head with a sigh. "How many heart attacks I almost gave you, Ma?"
"Enough to where if I have a real one, I won't know the difference." She mumbled before grabbing Dahlia from her. "Go have some fun hun."
I looked down and saw she was already wearing skates but I don't even think she could skate.
I watched her shake her head. "Um... I'm okay." I skated out of the rink and rounded over to her before grabbing her hand. "Y/n-"
"Come on.. this is my favorite song.. it makes me think about you." She wobbly stood up and I held her hands while slowly skating backwards into the rink.
I slid my arms around her waist and watched her eyes stare at the ground. "Hey," I whispered and she looked up apprehensively. "You trust me?" She nodded softly. "So trust me, I got you."
She finally relaxed and I spun her around, my arms still around her waist as I slowly pushed us around the rink. "This song reminds you of me?" She questioned and I nodded softly. "Sing it."
"Now you want me to sing? I thought my voice was terrible?"
Her head shook. "It's actually not bad.. when you're not playing around. I hear you singing in the shower." I smirked and rested my head on hers. "Sing it."
I hummed before singing along to the song once the beat dropped. "My whole life has changed since you came in. I knew back then you were that special one. I'm so in love, so deep in love.." I could see her lips pull into a smile as she leaned back against me.
I pressed a kiss to her temple before pressing my hands to her stomach and tapping her slightly along to the beat. "I'm doing things I never do but I feel so good, I feel so good. Why it take so long for me finding you? That part especially.. feel like I wrote it myself." I whispered in her ear and lifted her up to spin her around so she wouldn't fall.
Her arms slid around my neck, mine around her waist. "Well you got me now." I smirked when she pursed her lips and gave me a sassy look. "And you ain't ever getting rid of me."
"Fuck I look like getting rid of BadGal RiRi? I ain't stupid." She giggled before leaning up and pressing her lips to mine. I slowed us to a stop and cupped her face as I deepened our kiss, her tongue caressing mine perfectly.
Then, I suddenly felt a cool breeze engulf my legs. I pulled back and saw Jay skating off with a loud laugh.. my pants around my ankles.
I shook my head and gave Robyn a look when she covered her mouth with a giggle. "This isn't high school anymore, Jay! I'm not chasing you."
I pulled my sweats up with a huff. "You're gonna chase him." Rob stated rather asking. "Y/n I can't-" I pushed off on the skates quickly as I rushed after him. "I can't skate!" She called out but I kept going.
"Just don't lean forward!" I said over my shoulder, Jay and I flying around the rink at lightning speed. Once I got within arms distance, I grabbed his pants and pulled them down while he was skating which sent him flying to the ground. "That's what you get." I said when he rolled on the floor with a groan.
"Fuck you." He huffed and raised up, his pants pulled up too.
I pushed his shoulder before looking up when I saw a flash of hair. I looked to the middle of the rink and saw.. Robyn's skates and the skates only. I then looked over my shoulder in time to see her running for, what looked like, the bathroom.
My eyebrows furrowed. "I'll be back." I said and quickly pushed off after her. Once I rounded into the bathroom I could see her throwing up so I crouched by her side automatically and pulled her hair back.
"God," she groaned out and lifted her head with a huff. "You run fast." She mumbled and accepted the tissue I handed her.
"You good? What's up?" I questioned and she glanced over her shoulder at me, her bottom lip between her teeth with questionable look. "What?"
She shooed me back before rising up after flushing the toilet. "I was gonna wait.." I tilted my head when she went to the sink and gargled water before spitting it out. "Tried to think of some cute shit to do but fuck it." She leaned against the counter, her hands in her pocket.
"What are you talking about?" I mumbled but had a hunch. If she was gonna say what I think..
She then turned around and smiled softly. "One down, fourteen to go." Her hand then raised up and my eyes widened at what was in her grasp. A pregnancy test.
"Wait for real?" I questioned and when she nodded, I excitedly jumped in place, trying not to bust my ass with these skates. "You're pregnant." I said after a moment and her smile was wide as I came to terms with what she was saying.
I was gonna have another baby with my baby.. hopefully a baby boy- but still, a baby.. I got Rihanna pregnant, take that suckas. I quickly picked her up and spun her around. "Yes!" She laughed against my shoulder. "We're having a baby!"
"Shhh Y/nn." I sat her down but held her in a bear hug as I swayed us side to side. "I took three before I flew out here, all positive."
"Oh my God.. baby." I pulled back and saw her eyes watering as she sniffed and nodded her head. "I love you so much." I whispered and connected our lips, my hand resting on her stomach. "We're having a baby.."
"I know." She tucked her head in the crook of my neck when I hugged her again.
"I know we were trying but I still can't believe it.." I sighed to myself happily. "Thank you for letting me bring a life into this world with you."
Her hands rubbed my back as she pulled me closer. "I should be thanking you." She said with a soft chuckle before pulling back and wiping her eyes but I shook my head.
"No you took a lot of chances on me, thank you. Now we're having a baby.. a whole ass baby yo." I looked down at her stomach and knew my little homie was probably nothing more than a speck but I could feel the difference. "You got something growing in there.." I mumbled and she giggled when I looked up at her in fascination. "Isn't that crazy?"
I didn't get to see this side with Aniya. The finding out, the slow burn.. my heart was pounding yo.
"You're not scared are you?" She questioned as she ran her eyes over me. "You look spooked."
"I am scared." The glow from her eyes dimmed slightly as she frowned. "Scared of what's gonna happen to my simp levels- do you know how much of a bitch I'm gonna be for you now?" A relieved laugh left her lips, her head dropping back. "Whatever you want, ima do it. You want ice cream at three am? Your feet rubbed? Me to come home three hours early? Say less, I'm there."
"I mean.. you already do that shit." She said and held my jacket between her fingers. "But you basically live in Vegas now, how that's gonna work?"
I shook my head. "Only for a few more weeks.. then I'm back in LA with you and my lil homie." She snorted, kissing me back when I quickly pecked her lips. "Or.. you can come out here with me-"
"Negative. I can't spend more than two days in Vegas." My eyebrows furrowed when she shook her head. "I hate this city, the aura is just.." she shook her head with a frown. "Yuck."
"Damn. Who hurt you here?" I mumbled.
She sighed dramatically. "Those goddamn blackjack tables, that's who." I laughed and shook my head, knowing that since I've been here.. those casino have been a bitch.
"We'll be fine. Though maybe you should have waited.." Her head tilted. "How am I suppose to hide it from my family? They're gonna see how giddy I am."
She waved her hand and started out of the restroom. "Easy," she gave me a smirk over her shoulder. "Just say you got head."
"Yeah how about you tell my mom that. I plan on actually meeting my child okay?"
I can't believe I was having another baby. Like.. two of them? I think that officially gave me the means to get a dad bod now.
Hell yea.

Baby #Two 🥺
I love the dms I'm getting "Rih should have a boy" or "Rih needs a girl" Funny thing is that no ones gonna know the gender 😈 I already have my mind made and NO ONE is getting hints this time around.
You just gotta see.. when it happens.
