Madison lays on the couch holding unto her round over ripe stomach. Two days ago was her due date and she needs to get the baby out of her asap. Both Vito and Madison have been keeping in contact and just talking about the baby. Neither was up for talking about where their relationship stands. Vito brung up the idea of co-parenting and Madison agreed. She felt like for now their relationship could definitely be on hold.

"You need to exit out of your mommy now"

Layla walks back into the room getting Madison's attention.

"Hey mommy baby.Are you okay? Where is uncle Dre?"

Dre walks into the living room and begins smiling.

"That baby is stubborn just like his mother." Dre says heading close to her

"It needs to come out of me now. It's done baking and I'm in need of a well good sleep."

Dre lays his hand on her stomach and she begins to feel the kicking of the baby.

"Ow! Dre you just had to come over here and mess with my stomach."

"Help me up."

Dre chuckles before intertwining his hand with hers and waiting till she initiated the first movement off the couch. He helps pull her off the couch and watch as she waddles to the bathroom. He wasn't trying to stare at her behind but it had definitely grown because of her pregnancy and it had molded her body into something good. Dre caught himself biting his lip making him look away. He knew better than to look at his cousin's baby mother like that but he couldn't help the fact that he's just a man. He scoops Layla in his arms and begins pecking her face all over.

"Want some ice cream?"

The ringtone of Lil Baby sounds from his phone signaling his girlfriend Tati calling.

He brings Layla in the kitchen and sits her in her highchair prior to answering his phone.

"Wassup baby?"

"Dre I won't be able to make it to work tomorrow. I have this-

"Tati this is the third time this week. Just because you're sleeping with your boss doesn't mean that you can just come in when you feel like it."

Lately Tati has been calling out of work and coming home to him drunk.

"Babe it's not that serious. You can just deduct the pay out of my check then"

"Tati you're not getting it. Everyone in that office has a purpose. If you're not doing what you need to do, how will the office go smoothly?" Dre questions with a hint of irritation in his voice

"Dre it's not that serious. You have all those employees I won't even matter"

"Tatiana I think you just need to find another job. You don't take this job seriously and I need employees who are willing to work hard for their pay."

Madison waddles out of the bathroom and heads to the kitchen where Dre's voice is being heard.

"Tatiana I'm going to hang up now. Don't bother coming over tonight" he says angrily before hanging up

Madison gulps the little bit of spit on her tongue and begins speaking.

"Trouble in paradise?"

Dre looks up with his scowl and shakes his head.

"She just doesn't take life seriously. All she wanna do is party every night and I don't have time for that."

"Dre she is young. I mean what did you expect?" Madison questions

"You're young and before you were even pregnant you weren't wilding like her."

"Dre me and Tati aren't the same. She's beautiful and -

"So are you so what's the excuse?"

"Your family has a tend of cutting people off but hate being cut off" Madison jokes

"Anyways like I said she's young. She going to want to do dumb stuff you know. "

"She's lucky that I won't end this relationship." Dre says

He walks to the freezer and opens it to take an ice cream sandwich out.

"Umm what are you doing with that?" Madison questions

" bout to give it to Lay why?"

"No you are not. She had enough sweets today. She still hasn't taken her nap and it's three going on four."

"Just one ice cream?"

"Her daddy doesn't play that. He has her on a schedule and she already is breaking it because you won't stop giving her sweets."

"Just this last time." Dre pleas

"If her dad calls and asks why she isn't in bed guess who I'm going to snitch on"

Dre scrunches his face up before rolling his eyes.

"You're gonna snitch on your bro like that?"

"Should have thought about that when you ratted me out to Victor."

Dre puts Layla ice cream in a bowl and lays it on her highchair.

"You're still on that ?" He questions

" I will forever remember you ratting me out to Victor. That day he was super mad he threatened me saying I was lucky I'm pregnant because he would have put a bullet through my head."

"That's not my fault. Aint nobody tell yall to have sex without protection and then you try to run and hide w-

"First off I didn't run anywhere. I didn't even know I was pregnant at the time. I didn't find out till three months later."

"So wait when did ya'll have time to meet up to have sex if ya'll wasn't talking?" Dre asks, staring at Madison who couldn't contain her blush.

"I called him at a party."

"What party?"

"Tati's party."

Dre gasped before holding in his excitement.

"How come I didn't see you?"

Dre shakes his head before smirking.

"You were being fast."

"Is it bad that I can't remember any of it?"

"Wait, you were wasted that night. I need some popcorn" Dre says clapping his hands

"You don't need nothing." Vito says startling the two

"Man when did you get here?"

"Victor why didn't you call me and how'd you get out early?"

" I told you to call me every hour and you missed an hour so I had Doctor Green help get me out to check up on you." Vito says laying his food on the counter

"Victor what are you talking about I just called you an hour ago?"

"Madison you called me at one o'clock "

Madison turns her head and rolls her eyes.

"It's cute that you want a check up every hour but I have a pregnancy brain."

"That's okay that's why I'm going to set an alarm on your phone"

Vito walks over to Layla and begins clapping.

"Hey dada baby"

"Who gave her ice cream? Did she take her nap?"

Madison turns to look at Dre and smirks.

"Dre gave it to her and no she didn't"

"Snitch"

Vito shakes his head and lays a kiss on Layla's cheeks.

"Man ya'll have stubborn kids. One doesn't want to go to bed and the other won't come out." Dre says

"Don't worry the baby ain't going to stay in for long. Madison, are you using the exercise ball like the mid wife instructed?" Vito asks taking Layla out of the high chair

"Yes I have."

"Go bounce on it some more."

"Victor I'm tired. I don't feel like doing any of that right now. I just want to sleep." She answers yawning

"Please for me can you go on the ball and do some stretches?"

Madison lets out a puff and waddles in the living room to retrieve the ball.

"Dre thanks man for keeping a lookout for them. I owe you"

Vito grabs a napkin and wipes off Layla's ice cream covered face. Dre turns his head and watches Maddy lazily bounce on the ball.

"V look at Madison" Dre snickers

Victor walks next to Dre just to watch her. Dre takes out his phone and begins recording her.

"Do it right." Dre taunts making Madison look up at them

"I'm done because yall-yall are making f-fun of me." She says before bursting into tears

"That's my que to leave" Dre says running to the back door."

"Man forget you." Vito says walking out of the kitchen

"Madison we weren't making fun of you."

"Then why is Dre laughing?" She asks irritably

Vito places Layla in her play pen and walks up to her.

"Baby don't pay him no mind we have to get this baby out of you."

"Dre leave her alone man. You know how sensitive she is."

Madison squeals inside at what he called her.baby. She always loved him calling her names. She's too into her thoughts to realize him thumbing her tears.

"I hate when you cry."

"Man she's just a cry baby, that's her problem." Dre says

Madison pushes Vito to the side and grabs the ball. She makes contact with Dre and throws it at him.

He was too busy on his phone to realize the ball that's aiming at him. The ball connects with his hand making him drop his phone.

"MADISON!"

Vito shakes his head and walks to the couch to have a seat.

"I told you to leave her alone." Vito says stretching his hand out for her to come lay on his lap.

"If my phone cracks, Madison you and your baby daddy are paying for my new phone."

"I'm not paying for crap. I told you to stop messing with her. You lucky she ain't come over there."

"Please... Madison doesn't know how to fight." Dre says getting his phone from off the floor

"You wanna find out?" Madison questions before laying on the couch

"Why you sitting right there? I wanted you on my lap." Vito asks looking at her

"I want a foot massage"

He nods his head and waits till she props her feet on his lap.

"Your feet are ashy Madison"

He looks up at her to see her lips trembling.

"So you don't want to give me one?"

"Baby I wasn't saying that please stop crying."

Inside, Vito wanted to yell. He understands that she's pregnant but even prior to she has always been emotional.

Vito watches her sniffle and her shoulders move. He knows in his heart deep down they belong together.

"V you spoke to Smiley?"

"A couple days ago him and Raniyah came to see me."

"She put his ass out."

"Dre pass me that lotion behind you."

Dre grabs the lotion near him and tosses it to him. Madison closes her eyes and lays her head on a pillow that rests against the arm of the chair.

"They were arguing the other day when they came to see me. I'm not getting into it. As long as he doesn't put his hands on her then I have no business interfering with that."

His fingers simultaneously move at the top and bottom of her foot. He pumps the bottle twice before smoothing the substance into her skin. Madison could feel sleep finally taking over. She hasn't been able to sleep well and now with Vito near her she can easily fall asleep.
