"Okay, mama. So you're only 4cm dilated." The doctor explained to me.

"So we'll come back in a few to check again okay?"

"Aight, doc. Thank you." Dominic said to her as he ate a candy bar my mom had brung in here for him and I sat there looking at him in disgust.

"Oh she does not like you right now." My mom joked, once she'd saw the look I was giving him.

"What I do?" He asked with a smirk and I sat there with a grimace on my face.

"How can you hold all that attitude in that little body?" He joked and I didn't crack a smile but my mother and Deja thought it was the funniest thing.

Turning my face up another sharp pain went through my body as I sat there praying for it to be over, rocking my legs in and out.

"Fuck." I whined.

"Baby." I called out.

"Na' she wun' a nigga." He joked as he quickly stood to his feet and made his way over to me.

When he did, he placed his hand over my stomach and massaged slowly. I then snatched the candy bar out of his other hand and threw it across the room.

Looking down at me with his lips gaped, I rolled my eyes at him.

"Stop fucking eating in front of me." I cursed him out as my mother and Deja bursted into fits of laughter.

"That's what your ass get." Deja continued laugh, shaking her head.

"You know what, I'm only gon' let you slide cause my little nigga got you mean as fuck right na'." He smirked as I roughly pushed his hand off of my stomach and he began to walk away from me.

When he did, I started to cry hard and he sighed deeply as my mother and Deja watched as if this was all entertainment for them.

He then made his way back over to me since I'd started to cry. He placed his hands on my stomach again and began to massage me.

"I love you." I told him as the contraction finally died down and I got the chance to relax my body.

"Yeah. I love you too, ma." He shook his head with a scoff, still rubbing.

"Even though you jus threw my candy for no reason."

"I'm sorry." I poked my lip out and he nodded.

"Aight, baby. It's coo." He smiled, leaning down and kissing my forehead.

..18 long hours later

"Push, baby. Push." Dominic encouraged as I sat there pushing for the life of me.

"You gotta push, baby."

"Okay, we're going to need two more and then baby Amiri will finally be here." The nurses instructed as Dominic looked down there to see the progress and his eyes went wide before he quickly came back up to me.

"Shit, why the fuck did I do that?" He said to himself as tears rolled from my eyes.

"On the count of three, Tiana." They said as he wiped sweat from my forehead.

"1..2..3."
