Mya pov

It's a whole month and like 2 weeks more or less since I left August and since I been away with Rebecca.
I know Dennis misses her and I keep telling her she can go because I don't wanna be no obstacle but she insists on staying.

No lie the way I been eating and the way my belly is becoming a lil heavy its crazy. Everyday it gets harder to forget him. I want to just forgive him and be happy with him, but I'm tired of the emotional and mental abuse. I just can't take it.

He calls me everyday and I ignore it everyday, I know if I hear him sometimes I'd be willing to run back to him on the spot. So I text him to let him know I'm fine and so are the baby's. I send him pictures of my stomach all the time.
I start to feel bad sometimes because I'm like he deserves to be here and feel for his kids and I'm robbing him of the experience.

"Hey momma, how about we go get something to eat"

"How about we go back home" I suggested instead. She gave me a look like she was asking if I was sure. "I think it's time" she nodded and smiled happily.
"I'm proud of you ma" she ran off screaming "I'm gone seee my maaaann" I giggled at her childish behavior.
I started packing my stuff and booked our flight for this afternoon.

"Alright, he ain't seen me in almost 2 months so what do I wear a dress or a skirt or some rip jeans?"

"The way I know you, you're going to complain talking about it's too cold and you freezing.. Jeans" she rolled her eyes playfully "fine."

I was little nervous but I know I needed to go home. I had this great desire to be there with August right now.

"Alright lady, I'm ready so let's goo! I done called a cab and everything" this girl was excited excited. We exited the room and signed out of the hotel. I parked my suite case at the curb and waited for the driver to come help put them in the trunk.
"Heeyyy black man" Rebecca greeted the cab driver . "You better not be no reckless driver cause I promise you I'm not paying you a dime" she warned him.

He laughed but when he saw her face "yes ma'am, I don't play about the lives of my customers" she side eyed him "mmm I hope so, my girl pregnant so you better be extra careful , I'm taking a dollar off for every cry of pain she has because of you" she warned him again.
I just shook my head but she did have a point.

So we hopped in and he must've been scared cause he was careful for every corner and every bump.

"Told him" Becca smiled.
We reached the airport safe and sound but there was paparazzi and the way I wasn't in the mood for them right now. "let's walk the other way please"
"I mean I got water if anything , I'll soak them if they don't leave us alone"
I chuckled at this girl. Anything to protect me. I'm so blessed to have her.

Unfortunately some saw us and rushed over
"Aye watermelon head move out the way" we passed through. Thankfully the people working here separated us from them and led us straight to the plane.
We were finally going home.

.....

"Dennis said he's by August right now, so we can just stop at yours" Rebecca explained.
"Alright" I nodded. We took a cab to house. "Damn girl I'm so nervous my hand sweating"

"Aye driver you got some napkins"
I had to laugh "really sis, you just too much"

Luckily he had and gave her some. "Good thing He gave me more than enough, cause whew" my girl took the napkin and put them under her pits. I couldn't help but laugh "girl I can't help it don't laugh"

We pulled up at the house and as we were walking up and I done seen Rebecca perk her boobs up and took out them napkins from under her pits. This girl really loved this man.

No lie I was kinda nervous too I hadn't seen the man in almost two months. I've craving his warmth but I don't wanna run into his arms just yet.

I took out my key and unlocked the door , "wtf" and I seen August pull up ready to fight and then he saw me and he was stunned.
His gaze made me wanna squirm, now I was nervous.

"Pooooooookiiieee!!!!" Rebecca yelled and ran into Dennis's arms. He was just as shocked and happy. But her yell broke me and August's gaze for a quick second.

"Ah" I held my stomach. Our baby's starting moving a bit and it was making me uncomfortable. August rushed to my side. "What's wrong?"
I looked up at him "I think they know your here" he looked confused so I guided his hand to my stomach so he can feel the baby's moving.

He looked amazed and a lil relieved. "Damn, I missed y'all too"

"I know you just reached but can we talk real quick"
I nodded.
He led me to the room.

I walked in and the memories just flood back into my brain. I stood with my towards the window so I can face him. His face was all sad and I could see the regret in his eyes. When I study his face I see that he barely slept.
"Mya .. baby, you were right"

"I know" I shrugged.
"When you gave me back the ring and left me here, I felt terrible, foreign, stupid" he scratched his head.

"While you were gone, I've been able to process everything I've done wrong and I see where all of this stupidity stems from and I just wanna apologize" he went down on his knees.

"I'm sorry ma for everything. For belittling your feelings and projecting what I feel about me on you that ain't fair to you or my baby's. I just want you to come back home , I promise I'll get better. I'll go to see a counselor therapist you name it and I'm there. I'm willing to do it for myself for you and for my family. I gotta be a better man before my kids show up"

I know he meant every word. I just knew he did.
"Okay, I forgive you" he got up and was ready to hug me but I stopped him. "But I'm not staying here"
"Ma, I promise I ain't goin be on some dumb shit, I promise"
"I mean stuff , sorry baby's" he rubbed my belly.
"Let me be there to at least take care of you"

"I'm not staying with you just yet. I don't know if you have changed. I still walk in here and I get recaps of everything that's ever happened here" he tried to but in but I started speaking "I won't take your word for it"

"That's fair I guess" he put his hands in his pockets.
"Can I atleast know where you staying ? So I can swing by"
"You can drop me there" he nodded "aight cool"
"Otherwise than all this, you been good?"
"Yeah, I'm okay , swollen feet and my stomach been getting heavier"

"I see so , you wanna sit down?" I shrugged.
"Only if you help me get back up" he chuckled but I sat down anyway. "You look beautiful"
It's so hard to be tough with him when he does this stuff. "Thank you August"
"You mind.. if I talk to my babies" I shook my head. He lifted my shirt and started rubbing my stomach and daaaamnn I should've said I felt sick .

It been a minute since I felt his hands on me skin. The moment got ruined a lil for me because them babies started moving and it made me hella uncomfortable.

"Heyy there y'all are , it's ya daddy" his smile was so big when he felt them moving.
"How y'all been, I missed y'all"
"Aye chiilll" he laughed "y'all hurting ya momma"
"I know I ain't done my best but before y'all get here ima be the number one dad to y'all, y'all are my family and I'd do anything to keep that"

"Until then make sure y'all take care of each other" then he did the worst thing , he kissed my stomach and I just felt pressure in my lower abdomen and I was so embarrassed but he kissed my stomach and I blame this on the hormones but I was ready to have sex with him right now.

"Alright, I think it's time to go, I'm tired and I need to sleep" he nodded and got up to help me stand.

"Let me just drop a shirt on and we can go"
I mumbled "alright" and walked out to see Rebecca and Dennis being super cuddly and I'm just like damn ion never really see them like this but that's good.

"'Heyy Dennis" I smiled I forgot I didn't even greet him. "Heyy gorgeous, you look good" he cane around to hug me. "How you been?"

"I'm surviving" "I've been eating triple, I feel like a big ole duck" I pouted he flashed me a cheesy smile "but you still a cute big ole duck"
"What you tryna say that I been a duck?" his smile faltered when he realized what I did.
"You ain't change one bit, big head asssss"
I raise my hand like I was going to hit him "swear around my children again" he flinched "my bad, damn" he backed away and went towards Rebecca.

"Anyway, Becky if you wanna stay with tonight is all good I'll stay in the room alone tonight"
She shook her head.

"Issa hell no for me, while you pregnant you ain't staying nowhere alone"
"Not after the last time.." my eyes open wide to tell her shut up. Dennis rose his eyebrows in suspicion "what happened?"

"Nothing serious , food problems" when I turn my head August was in on the convo too.

"You ready ?" He nodded "let's take my car, let Dennis and Rebecca take yours"

"Aight bet , lets roll out"

While driving ...

My stomach started hurting , so I closed my eyes and tried to breathe in and out.
"Aye ma you alright?" He looked over quickly while driving.
"My stomach hurts a lil bit" he put right on over my stomach and started rubbing it.
"We need to go see the doctor" he suggested but I knew it was just those cramps that happen it was for the stretching of my stomach or the growing of it so I didn't really bother.
"August it's fine , it'll pass"

"You sure ?" I nodded. When we got to the hotel we checked everything out at the reception and went up straight to the room.

"Damn ma, this a good one" Becca said. "Ima enjoy spending the night here for sure"

"With me it should feel complete" Dennis said getting all mushy "ima miss you"

August parked that suitcase there by the hall and I went straight to the bed. I got in and curled up in them sheets.

"Alright alright chill" I moaned in pain while rubbing my stomach.

I feel August come in the bed and curled up behind me and started rubbing my belly.
Before I knew it I was knocked out.

August POV

I was grateful she atleast let me hold her. It been a minute. I know she was uncomfortable but I also knew this would help her fall asleep.

When her stomach used to hurt before this is what we used to do.

Since I couldn't stay here, I made sure to text her and let her know I'd be out for a day or two. I was going to handle something right quick with the label.
I was just grateful she came home. I been praying real hard for this.

Preview next chapter ...

When her eyes met mine.. I could see that she had been crying and she looked restless. "August.. August.. I tried..." she tried saying in between her uneven breathing and crying.

I rushed over to her and held her "Shh shh its okay, its not your fault" Despite the situation we were in, we both needed each other in this moment. As I held her in my arms I cant help feel so good to be here and protect her.

This is where my place is. This is where I'm meant to be and I lived without it for a good month and a half. That wasnt it. I did however had the time to re-evaluate everything that has been happening. I see now that I need help. I was going to do it if it means I'll be a better man for my family.
