"Why not? You drop it like it's hot for everyone else." He answered and she was just about to punch her little brother in the arm but got stopped feeling a hand wrap around her waist and push her gently to the side making her confused.

"Let me get by you, baby." She couldn't even say something smart to the person because as quickly as his hand was on her waist, it was gone as he walked by. Her eyes locked on the back of Chris's body.

"Don't call me baby." She answered but he didn't respond even though he definitely heard her response making him chuckle at how quick her smart response was.

"Oop- Ain't he your childhood celebrity crush?" Noriah asked making Malani roll her eyes.

"Heavy on childhood."

"Girl please. You was just at the Party Tour AND Heartbreak on a Full Moon Tour saying how that's your man, your man, your man." Jordyn teased causing Nadia to roll her eyes playfully.

"Whatever."

She wouldn't ever say it out loud but she liked the way his hand felt on her even if it was quick.

Chris's eyes stayed on me as I held the smoke in my mouth for as long as possible before feeling the urge to cough up a lung. I busted out into a coughing fit and he started laughing making me stick my middle finger up at him.

"You suck. Ya' smoking days is up." He said grabbing the blunt from me and I sucked my teeth while trying to catching my breath.

"I haven't smoked in what? A year? Can you really blame me?"

"See what happens when you get pregnant. Shame."

"Nigga, you did it!" I said and he laughed making me join him. "I miss my baby," I pouted and he sighed.

"You been saying that since we got off the jet. We supposed to be enjoying a late anniversary celebration down here pretending like we ain't got no kids,"

So I started therapy again.

It wasn't bad but it was just to help with the PPD. I also was talking to Chris about my feelings so that was a big help because they suggested I do antidepressants but him and I wasn't feeling it. But since ATL and Houston the last time we was there, I've been real good to my little baby.

Chris would take the nightshift starting at 8 instead of midnight letting me get more time to myself and he couldn't have been more helpful. His house was still up for sale but Demetrius was thinking about renting it out from him so looks like Tarzana ain't going nowhere.
