Chris

"Mr. Brown, on August 3, 2017, you were seen leaving a warehouse." The judge started "The officers got a warrant to search it just a few days ago. Officer Nelson, what did you all find?"

"We found loads of marijuana and cocaine, your honor" officer Nelson said

Officer Nelson is the same bitch ass cop that pushed Eden and tased me for no reason. Once we get deeper into the case, I'll make sure to show them the little home video I have. Boy am I happy my house has cameras.

"And it is believed that you run a drug empire, Mr. Brown?" she asked

"My client refuses to answer that at this time" my lawyer, Myron, spoke

"And the argument is?" the judge asked

"Accusations are being made against him just because of what people saw. You don't have any proof that he did anything."

"His prints are all over that warehouse and all over the bodies we have seen so far" the other lawyer spoke

"His aren't the only prints up there though." Myron argued "I got the lab results this morning and it says they found Kevin McCalls DNA on some of the same bodies as Mr. Brown's. If you want to go even more into depth, they found Mr. McCalls prints on the shoes as well."

I kept a straight and serious face, but on the inside I was smiling like a fool.

"How do we know this Kevin guy isn't behind all of this?" Myron questioned

"Objection!" The lawyer for the other side stood up

"Objection denied" the judge said "Is Mr. McCall in this courtroom? It does say that he's the one that filed the complaint" she looked through some papers

"No, your honor" the lawyer answered

"Recess. You two meet me in my chamber" she said to the lawyers for both sides

"Take Mr. Brown to his holding cell" she instructed the bailiff

I looked back at Eden and smiled.

I'm coming home baby

"Now, since there is no sign of the plaintiff, I'll have to put a break in this case. Which means Mr. Brown can get out on bail. But he has to return to court once the next date is set" the judge spoke

It's not full freedom, but I'll take it.

"Thank you your honor" I said

She hit the gavel and dismissed everyone.

Eden

"Baby!" I hugged Chris outside of the courthouse

"Bring yo fine ass here" his hands cupped my face and kissed me deeply

This is the first time in 3 months that I've actually felt his hands on me. During visits, we couldn't touch.

He pulled away grinning "Damn.."

I stared at him, smiling from ear to ear. "Let's go home"

"They say that sex during the pregnancy helps when it's time to deliver" he smirked as I unlocked the door

"Surprise" Sean and Josh said as we entered

"What y'all niggas doing in here?" Chris asked

"I texted Sean the good news after you got out of court" I said "And I was expecting a little more excitement from them" I stated, referring to the dry greeting they gave

"That nigga know we happy to see him" Josh chuckled

"I'm happy to see y'all too man. We got a lotta shit to discuss" they all dapped each other up

"Babe, I'm gonna go take a nap. I didn't really get any sleep yesterday" I pecked Chris's lips

"You want me to come lay with you?" He asked

I shook my head "Enjoy your time with your boys"

"You sure?"

"Yeah. I'll be ok" I assured

He pecked my lips a few times "I love you"

"I love you too" I said before going upstairs

"Breezy goin' soft" I heard Sean and Josh chuckling

"Shut y'all asses up" Chris replied, smacking his teeth

I took a nice, hot shower, put on one of his shirts and some underwear, then laid down. From me being so tired, I fell asleep almost immediately.

When I woke up from my nap, Chris was coming out the bathroom with the towel hanging lowly around his hips. He hadn't noticed me staring yet, so I continued to gaze happily. These pregnancy hormones started getting the best of me.

"Did I wake you up?" I heard him ask

"Hm?" I was still eyeing his perfect, wet body "Oh, no" I shook my head, registering what he asked and finally looking in his face

"You good?" He licked his lips, standing at the edge of the bed

"Yeah, mhm" I nodded quickly

"I'm not. I missed being inside you" he placed his hands around my ankles

He gently pulled me to the edge of the bed, biting his bottom lip. This amazed me because I know I'm heavy as hell now with all this baby weight.
  With his body now in between my legs, he left a trail of kisses up my thighs. If the sight of him didn't have me dripping, the flood gates have definitely opened now. He placed a kiss over my covered center before hooking his fingers at the top of my underwear, pulling them down. Once he got those off, he positioned his face between my legs.
  He lightly blew over my clit, making my body tremble. I felt his fingers separate my lips and shortly after he began pleasing me with his mouth.

"I forgot how great you taste" he said after pulling away for a quick second

I looked down at him, but my belly was in the way. I automatically became disgusted and embarrassed with myself.

"Stop" I said seriously, scooting away from him

"What's wrong?" He asked, concerned

"I don't wanna do this anymore" I got up, crying

"Baby girl, why you crying?"

"I look like a whale" I sat on the edge of the bed

"Yo" he laughed

Him laughing made me even more bothered, so I threw a pillow at him.

"It's not funny!" I furrowed my eyebrows

"You serious?" His laughter died down "Ohhh! You serious" he realized I wasn't joking

"You think this shit is a joke? I'm big as three houses and you laughing" I stood up, standing in front of him "Why would you even wanna have sex with me? I'm huge!"

I can imagine how I must've looked to him. I'm standing here with no underwear on, this big belly, and fussing at him.

"Stop talking like that about yourself" he said "The only reason you've gained weight is because of the baby." He pulled me closer to him

"Yeah, but it's so much. I can't even see my feet anymore" I sniffled "I've never been skinny, but I've never been this big"

"Sweetheart" he sighed "It's ok"

"Really?"

"Yeah. You're carrying a child, our child. You're more beautiful right now than you've ever been." He placed his hand on my belly, pecking my forehead

I looked up at him and smiled "Thank you baby"

He nodded as his way of saying you're welcome.

"So does that mean that I wasn't beautiful before I got pregnant?" I asked, referring to what he said

"Eden" He said in a warning tone

"I'm kidding" I chuckled, pecking his lips "I love you"

"I love you too" he tapped my butt "And we don't have to do anything right now if you not in the mood."

"I'm so glad you understand" I smiled

"But for future references, sex does help the baby come out easier" I felt him grin against my face

"Shut up" I shook my head, giggling
