* few hours later

"You can't really get rid of Braxton Hicks, but there are things you can do to alleviate them" the doctor of the emergency room said

She went on with a list of things I could do for my Braxton Hicks, which are the pains I was experiencing earlier.

"Alright. Thank you doctor" I said kindly

"Have you been under any stress lately? Your vitals are off"

"Kinda.." I answered truthfully since this is concerning my child

"I'm going to put you on bed rest for the rest of your pregnancy though. So no getting up unless you have to" she said "Too much stress can cause problems on you and make the delivery difficult"

I sighed "Alright. I'll try to take it easy" I nodded

"And I see you came here in an ambulance. You have transportation back home?" she asked

"Yeah. I'm about to call my ride now"

"Ok. Take all the time you need." She smiled "We have a van that'll drop you off just in case" she left out of the room

I called Chris four times and it went straight to voicemail.

I huffed, getting off the bed "Doctor" looks like I'll be taking a hospital van home

I unlocked the door and walked in the house. I sat my keys on the counter and went in the living room, looking for Chris.

"Babe" I called throughout the house. The first step in getting rid of some of this stress is talking things out with him.

But I got no answer. I guess he's still out.

An idea popped into my head as I headed upstairs. Maybe I should take another route instead of arguing.

Chris

*4:23am*

I walked in the house, ready to go to sleep. I had stayed at the warehouse doing some more work. After the disagreement with me and E, I figured I needed to take a breather.
When I headed toward the stairs, I saw small candles and rose petals on each step. I smiled at the gesture and headed upstairs, blowing out the candles as I made my way upstairs.

"Sweetheart" I said as I walked into our room

She was sleep in the middle of the bed with a little black, silk robe on. Her hair was curled and she had on a little bit of makeup.

"Wake up" I lightly tapped her thigh

"Hm?" her eyes were still closed

"Baby, wake up" I chuckled.

"I'm up, I'm up" she slowly sat up "What time is it?"

"4:30" I took my shirt off "What's all this?" I asked, referring to the setup she had done

She put her hand over her mouth "Let me go brush before I start talking" she stood up and waddled to the bathroom

My lil penguin. 😂
I took my shoes and jeans off, leaving me in boxers, then laid on my side of the bed.

After she was done brushing, she came back out "I wanted us to relax and talk. No arguing, just a relaxing conversation. I had ran you a bath, but it's cold now."

"I'm sorry, babe." I sighed, feeling bad that I had missed the opportunity to enjoy everything she had planned

"It's fine...we still need to talk though."

"Most definitely" I nodded "Cuddles and conversation?" that's her favorite thing to do

She smiled, nodding "Yeah" I opened my arms and she laid on my chest as best as she could. Her belly prevented us to be closer than we both wanted, but it'll work.

"You can go first" we both said at the same time

She giggled "I'll go first" then she started talking "I love you and I don't want to lose you. Yeah, there's a possibility that you could still go to jail, but you're increasing that possibility by continuing to run your business" she did air quotations for the word business

"I'm just tryna make sure we straight though. This is my way of life, this is what I'm good at, what I'm used to" I explained

"Maybe it's time to step out of your comfort zone" she sat up, looking at me "I've seen your artwork and it's amazing. You told me when you were in jail, it helped you cope. Maurice you have a gift"

"That's just for fun" I shrugged "When I was younger I had a passion for it."

"Why don't you have a passion for it anymore?"

"I started dealing and kind of forgot about art"

"Exactly, You got sidetracked. Just give it a try. See about opening your own art studio or something"

"I don't know, E" I sighed

"If not for me or even yourself, do it for Mason...he's going to need his father around" she rubbed her belly

"Alright" I nodded

"Really?" She looked at me with bright eyes

"Yeah, anything for you and lil man. But getting out the game is a process, even when you the boss"

"I understand. I'm just so happy that you're doing it" she grabbed my face and kissed me deeply

Her tongue slid in my mouth, making contact with mine. They slowly worked against one another while our kiss got more heated. Her soft lips moved in sync with mine while I laid her back on the bed. I gently tugged on her bottom lip while pulling away. My lips made their way down to her neck, taking her skin between my teeth and sucking on it.

"I love you" I grumbled

"I love you too" she breathed out, moaning and gripping my arm

  After leaving my mark all on her neck, I loosened the robe a bit, and made my way to her breast. She complained about them being sore, so I took my time with those. I caressed them while leaving wet, warm kisses around them.
  I undid the rest of the robe, exposing her naked body. I looked up at her and she was looking back at me, watching my every move with lust filled eyes. Her finger hooked at the waistband of my boxers, sliding them down a little.

"Please fuck me" she said softly, biting her lip

I was already semi hard, but hearing those words leave her lips made me solid as a rock.

Lord, please don't let me hit my son in the head because I'm about to go crazy in his mama's pussy. Amen 😇
