"You got her Lani?" Scooter asked as he walked into the living room where I sat, changing Kaleia's diaper while she continued to cry

"Yeah" I answered while I handed him the dirty diaper and started to button her onesie back up while he went to throw it away

"Come on mommy's little bean" I picked her up and reached for the bottle then started to feed her which got her quiet instantly "you so greedy girl"

Scooter came back into the living room and started picking stuff up, bring that we just got home like an hour and a half ago and just dropped everything in the living room

My babygirl was truly perfect, coming out 7 pounds 9 oz and a head full of hair. Kaleia had the biggest dark brown eyes and her little fingers and toes were so small

"When you go back to work?" I asked scooter, watching him move the car seat over by the tv

"Tomorrow"

"I thought you asked them for a week?"

"I did. But they was already trippin bout the three days I already missed" he explained and I just kept my eyes on my daughter as I fed her

"I wish you would just find you a new job"

"I would but right now I can't do that. Especially now that Kaleia here.. ima just have to stick it out"

"I'm just saying scooter. Your boss trippin over you missing work to welcome your child in the world, how he gone act any other time if I need help?"

"We gone just have to figure something out"

I shook my head and loudly sighed

"Whatchu getting upset for? You acting like I'm not tryina be here"

"I didn't say that scooter. But my thing is.. granted, I understand and I applaud you for tryina make sure you always providing but at the end of the day our child comes first. You think I wanted to be out of work this soon of starting? But no, I had to make a sacrifice. And you, the one that was so eager to have a baby, can't even take days off to be witcho newborn because your boss trippin"

"Milani you being unreasonable"

Kaleia must've didn't want anymore of her bottle so I stopped feeding her and started to burp her

"You know what, it's whatever. I really don't feel like arguing right now. What we eating later cause I'm hungry as hell"

"Whatchu planned on cookin?" He asked and I looked at him some type of way causing him to laugh "chill I'm just fuckin witchu. Ima cook. What you wanna eat?"

"Whatever is fine with me. Im just hungry"

"Ight then"scooter nodded while walking over to me and leaned down "we got this lani. I promise you. We ain gone need nobody, ight?"

".. alright" I replied before he kissed me and stood up straight

"Here. Get her, I'm starting to hurt"

He grabbed her from me and I sat back carefully and took a deep breath, looking down at my stomach which looked like I was 6 months pregnant all over again

"You straight"

"Yup" I responded as he walked out of the living room with her and my phone vibrated from a text message. I reached and picked it up, surprised as hell to see that it was Kay's momma who I messaged a while back apologizing, explaining to her by what I meant with what I said
