"Hi, baby!" My mom squealed, instantly wrapping her hands around my protruding belly.

"Hi." I spoke calmly as Dominic closed the door behind us.

"And hello to you, Dominic." She smiled wide.

"What's going on, Ms. Wanda?" He spoke with a smirk.

"Baby, I'm let y'all talk while I finish painting the room." He told me, kissing my cheek before walking away.

I watched as his shady ass walked away and I couldn't help but to laugh. I'd had my mother apologize to him like he'd wanted a few months ago but he still wasn't her biggest fan. He'd made that clear to me multiple times.

"So how've you been, baby?" My mother asked.

"Give me all the deets."

Later that night

Coming out of the bathroom, I heard Dominic and my mother busting it up in the kitchen. For someone who wasn't her biggest fan, they'd seem to be hitting it off once he'd finally came out of Amiri's room.

Taking a quick detour, I walked into Amiri's room just to check on the paint. Dominic has did a good job for someone whodIdN't kNoW hOw tO pAInt.

"Wow." I said to myself, looking around and rubbing my belly. I just couldn't wait for him to finally be here.

After imagining life with him here for a while, I cut the light off and walked out. I then made my way toward the kitchen where Dominic and my mother were.

When I walked in, him and my mother both looked at me in amusement as I took a seat, trying to figure out what the hell they were looking at.

"What?" I spat angrily, making them both look away quickly. They were both about to work my nerves and knowing Dominic, he wanted to play some sort of games with me.

Tired of the both of them, I sat at the island, feeling like a whale as I looked around for my chocolate Reese's cup.

"Um, where is my Reese's?" I asked, not seeing it on the table anymore. I knew I'd just left it there before I went to the bathroom.

Dominic couldn't even hold in his laugh as he looked at my mom. I didn't find anything funny as the both of them fell into a laughing fit.

"Where is my Reese's?" I asked again as they continued to giggle like children and it was making me angrier by the second.

"I think Dominic might've ate it, Tiana." My mother joked like a kid.

"Baby, na'. Come on, you know I wouldn't do that to you."

"Your moms ate it." He ended up saying as my mother smiled guiltily.

"Alright. He's right." She nodded.

"Sorry, baby. I was hungry and you guys have nothing else to eat here." She spoke as I swallowed the lump in my throat.

I wanted that Reese's so bad that my mouth watered for it. I didn't want anything else but that Reese's right now and she ate it as if it was hers.

Before I knew it, I was full on crying as if I'd just heard the worse new ever. While I did, they both bursted into fits of laughter as I sat there with tears in my eyes.

Standing to my feet, I tried to get away from their childish, mean asses as Dominic quickly grabbed me, pulling me toward him.

"Aight, baby. Stop cryin'." He told me, pulling the Reese's out as my mother continued to laugh and I stood there with a serious face.

"Stop playing so much." I hit him in the chest as he smirked at me.
