Anyways, enjoy! ❤️

Stephanie

I closed my eyes feeling Kali run her small hands softly through my thick, full head of head of hair as she laid down beside me.

She claimed she was, "Keeping me company" while Zoie, Kendall, Angel, Dave, and Jayceon had their time with the baby.

"T Steph, you're so beautiful." She said, gently pushing all of my hair out of my eyes.

"Awww, thank you Chunky Booty! You're beautiful too." She snuggled up with me even more.

"TT, where's your phone? I wanna watch Paw Patrol." My eyes popped open and I quickly looked at her.

"Ohhhhhh so that's why you're here, huh?" We both began to giggle uncontrollably.

"You know everybody else is using their phones to take pictures of the baby, so you came over here to me because I'm not using mine. Okay, I got you Kali." I pointed my index finger at her, nodding my head.

"Nooooooo, no I'm keeping you company! Butttt I meannnn... You're not using it, sooo..." We started to laugh even harder than before.

"You been around me wayyy to long, Chunky! It's in my purse." I said.

She got up and crawled all the way to the edge of the bed. Coming back up, she brought the purse back with her and handed it to me.

Digging into it, I pulled out the cold phone that I hadn't used since Jaceyon and I left home yesterday.

"Hold on boo, let me check it first." I told Kali.

Checking my phone, there were millions of messages and DMs on phone from fans, friends, and famous people from all over the world showing and giving me their love. There were no negative comments in sight.

But out of all of those posts, messages, and notifications from people showing me love, there wasn't one from anybody in my family back home in Louisiana.

No missed calls, no texts, no posts, nothing...

I mean, it's not like they don't know. There's no way they can't know.

My baby's face, the story of how he came, and how I thought I couldn't even get pregnant had been all over social media since I had him yesterday. Hell, even the Shaderoom posted it telling Jd and I congratulations.

Sighing, I closed out of everything and handed the phone to Kali. "Here you go baby."

"Thanks!" She said taking it.

"Heyyyy TT Fat Fat! Hi baby..." Angel cooed to my beautiful, healthy baby boy while she held Kairi.

"Yeahhhh, heyyyy chunky mannnn! Ooh y'all look! He's smiling..." Zoie said excitedly to them as they leaned over Nasir's bassinet, gazing at him.

"He's goofy already..." David said sweetly and snapped another picture of him.

"Just like his Daddy..." Jd leaned down further and peeked his small lips.

"This is my God baby! They already stole Kai and Kal from me." Zoe said smiling.

Angel and Kendall smacked both sides of his face quick. "Don't get beat up, hoe." They looked at him up and down and mugged him.

"Oop.." Jd's instigating ass got out with his hand over his mouth.

"I'm just glad it's not me getting slapped this time." Dave shrugged them off.

Tears came to eyes just watching all of my closest friends interact with my smiling baby, but the strange thing is is that I'm really not sure on the exact reason I'm crying...

Yes, I'm extremely happy that my baby is here. Yes, I'm overjoyed that me and my soon to be husband finally got what we've been begging God for. Yes, I'm ecstatic that the people I care about the most are here to witness this amazing moment with me.

I'm not sure if it's all of my joy, pain, medication that Dr. Kyle had me on, excitement, or tiredness from pushing a 8 pound infant out of my vagina that's making me cry, but I do know one thing though: Something's missing, and I can't put my finger on what it is.

As soon as I realized that, I put my face in my hands and burst into full blown tears.

"Baby?" I heard my fiancé call me, concerned.

"Stephanieeee, Stephanie what's wrong?" Angel asked. I then heard shuffling from everybody rushing up to me.

"What's wrong Mama?" They asked at the same time, hugging me tightly.

"You have a beautiful baby boy..." Kendall said laying his big head down on my shoulder, squeezing me tight.

"You're engaged to the man of your dream." Zoie wiped the tears from my face.

"You're getting soooo much love Sissy..." Dave said sweetly.

"And we're all right here with you." Angel joined in and kissed my cheeks.

"Baby, please don't cry. You know I hate it when you cry... Me, Dave, and the crew going to get the nursery you want done." Jaceyon pulled my hand from my face and kissed my lips.

"Yeah! We're going to stay up all day and night if we have to just to finish. We're gonna get it done before you get home. Don't worry about anything." Dave said, reassuring me.

"What do I have to do? Hmm? Tell me what I have to do to make you happy, and I'll do it." Jd said intertwining our hands together.

"I am happy guys! I just, I don't know..." I stopped, choking on my tears. I couldn't even get my sentence out I was crying so much.

"Awe, boo!" Zoie laid his head down on my chest and began to cry with me.

"Ummm, you guys we'll be back." Angel looked at Dave and slightly drew her head back to the door.

His eyes then grew wide looking at her.

"Uh yeah, we'll be back! Come on Kali, and leave Stephanie's phone." He said picking her up from beside me and laying my phone down on my stomach.

Heading to the door, they both stopped and turned around like they forgot something.

"OH, me too! I'll be back friend!" I frowned watching Kendall follow behind them.

"You to?" "Yeah, but I'm coming rightttt back. Um, Zoie." He tapped Zoe's head repeatedly, but he just waved him away.

"Zoie!" He sternly said to him with his hands on his hips.

"What bitch?! Damn! Don't you see me trying to console my friend?" He buried his face in my chest even more.

Kendall grabbed him by his arm and yanked him off of me. "OOP, BITCH!"

"We'll be back Stephanie!" Zoe exclaimed grimacing at the strong grip Ken had on him as he dragged him out of the door, shutting it behind them.

"BITCH, BE CAREFUL WITH ME! I'm delicate..." I heard him whine all the way down the hallway.

Jaceyon let out a huge breath and walked over to Nasir's bassinet. Cradling him in his arms, he walked back over to the bed and laid him down on my chest.

"Baby, just tell me what's wrong..." He said climbing in the bed behind me and cuddling up with me.

"I feel like something's missing..." I laid my head back on his chest, laying both of my hands on my baby's back.

"What do you feel like is missing baby?"

Tears welled up in my eyes again as I felt my heart break into a tiny million pieces.

"Don't get me wrong J, I love and appreciate all of you guys being here for me, but my family back home isn't here. Do you know that nobody called or texted me and told me congratulations, or even just a simple 'I love you' Do you know how much that breaks my heart? My family is missing Jaceyon. My family..." My voice cracked seeing how peaceful my son was was while I held him close to my heart.

I can't believe any of this. I can't believe how my family is treating me right now. I expected not to get a call from my mother and father, but I damn sure expected one from everyone else; especially Momo and Uncle D.

"I guess they just changed their mind about me..." Crying, I lightly kissed the top of Nasir's full head of soft hair.

Now that I have a child, I could never imagine hurting him in any type of way or leaving him when he needs me the absolute most. I would never forgive myself. Ever.

"Stephanie look at me." He said sternly.

Turning my head around, I looked up into his glossy eyes noticing that there was nothing but pure love in them.

"I'm sure they still love and care about you Stephanie, they may just be in shock right now. We all were! My father isn't here either... I called him, but he didn't answer the phone. Even if you never talk to them again, you know you have a family that's always going to be here no matter what. We have to do better for Nasir and show him what a real family is. Okay Ma? Alright?" He laid his forehead on mine making me nod my head.

"Alright..." I whispered, staring at his soft lips.

"I love you, okay? We gonna get through this." His lips brushed up against mine while he spoke to me.

"I love you too..."

Pushing himself closer to me, he placed his sweet lips on top of mine. My body shivered a little when he slid some of his tongue in my mouth, brushing it against mine.

Pulling back, we smirked at each other and chuckled.

"Baby, lets do it." I said seductively. "Oooooooo, you so naaaasstyy..."  He replied back to me smiling from ear to ear.

"Come on Bear! I can take it. You know I can..." I ran my fingers against his chin hair trying my hardest to seduce him.

"But Bae, you cant do anything for 6 weeks." He poked his lip out at me looking absolutely adorable.

"Noooo Bear! I can... You know..." I tried to grab the huge bulge that was protruding out of his white Nike sweatpants, but he smacked my hand away.

"No Stephanie, we have the baby right now. And I am not about to allow you to do that after you just gave birth to my child. You need to rest right now."

"Mmmmmmmm, mmkay Bear..." I turned my head back around. Jd kissed the back of it.

"Don't be sad baby. In 6 weeks, we can play the dog game alllll you want." We both bursted into laughter.

"You're so stupid." I said to him, shaking my head.

Angel

"O-Okay... Thank you again Dr. Carter."

My doctor was discussing my test results from my visit yesterday over the phone to me while I paced back and forth in the long hallway of Jd's home.

Dave, his crew, Kendall, Zoie, and Maggie we all at Jd's house turning one of his bedrooms into a beautiful nursery for a baby boy.

Of the course of our friendship, Stephanie and I shared everything with each other. Including what we wanted our first nurseries to look like. I know exactly what she wants. I just hope Dave's crew doesn't fuck it up, because that nigga REFUSES to hire professionals.

Talking about some, "Naw, we don't need nobody else. We got it."

His ass not doing shit though. He's just in there bossing everybody around.

"You're always welcome Angel, goodbye!" He said hanging up the phone.

I sighed taking my phone from my ear and walking back into the soon to be nursery.

"ALRIGHT YALL! WE GOT EVERYTHING OUT OF HERE, NOW WE NEED TO START PAINTING! STEPHANIE AND JD WILL BE HOME ON MONDAY! THIS SHIT NEEDS TO BE DONE!" Dave's loud mouth ass yelled at all of the people moving around in the room.

"Okayyyy, wait a minute because I'm to damn tied..." Zoie walked into the room with three cans of Sprite in his hands.

"Right! Shid..." Maggie and Kendall said in unison taking one from him. They all plopped down on the floor and laid back on the soft white carpet.

Popping them open, they all took a sip of their drinks.

"And how much we getting paid for all of this shit we doing?" Ken asked, staring at the ceiling.

"Oh, y'all not getting paid." David said simply making Zoe spit all of the drink that was in his mouth out.

"WHEEETTTT?!" They screamed jumping up to their feet.

"THEN WHAT THE HELL WE DOING HERE THEN?!" Ken asked sitting his drink down on the floor.

"Man y'all ain't did shit since we got here!" Trey said, instigating.

"Word Yo. Y'all been sitting y'all asses down on that floor." G came over to Maggie and took a sip of her drink.

"Hush! You better hope you get paid tonight..." She said rolling her eyes.

"OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO..." Everyone in the room said like he just got called to the principal's office or something.

"Oh, I will." He said smirking at me.

Lightly tapping on Dave's arm, I looked up at him innocently.

"Wassup baby?" He asked, rubbing on my butt softly.

"Can I talk to you? Outside?" I mumbled. "Yeah, come on."

Walking out of the nursery, we went into one of Jaceyon's guest bathrooms and shut the door behind us.

"You good baby? Wassup? What you wanna talk about?" Sitting down on the edge of the bathtub, I fiddled around with my fingers.

"Well, I just got off the phone with Dr. Carter..." "And? What did he say?" He asked sitting down beside me.

"He said that I am definitely not pregnant, and that the pregnancy tests I took were just faulty ones." I looked up at him only to see him staring blankly at the ground.

"Babe listen, I know how bad you want a baby right now, but maybe it's just not the right time. I mean we already have Kai, and now we're adopting Kal! It's just not the right time... Are you mad at me?" I laid my head down on his shoulder.

"Are you kidding me Angel? No, I'm not mad at you Mama. Maybe you're right. It's not the right time right now." Holding my right hand up, he put it up to his lips and kissed it.

"I'm sorry Babe..." I said making my close his eyes and shake his head.

"No no no Angel. You don't have anything to be sorry about. We'll talk more about it later, but right now you need to get your ass in the room." He ran his hand up and down my thighs, gripping them.

"Mmmmm, which one daddy? The nursery here? Or the one back home?" I bit down on my lip feeling my pussy quiver.

"Shiiitttttt, the one back home." He replied, laughing.

"Come on boy! We have to finish this room." I groaned standing up.

"Alright alrightttt, finnneeee..." He whined getting up and stomping his big ass feet behind me.

As soon as we opened the door, we were startled by Kali running up to us with a very small cardboard box in her hand.

"DADDY! DADDY LOOK! LOOK AT ME!" She held the box out and carried it away into the nursery and sat it down on the floor.

"Ohhhhhh, that's right! Look at my baby working! That's my big girl!" I smiled hearing her giggle uncontrollably as he picked her up and held her over his head.

I swear I wouldn't mind having another Little Butt with David. We just don't need another one right now. We already have our hands full with two.

Wassup y'all! I missed y'all so much 😩❤️

But a bitch is back! I feel so much better... Thank you guys so much for understanding. Y'all are the best, literally.
