The Husband

Renee

"Jim, are the kids ready ?" I yelled through the house. Today was the day his mother was having the party.

We ended up going to the doctor earlier this morning and I'm 2 months along. Jim still acts the same way when I had the twins. He's so cautious.

"Yes, we waiting on you." my hair just needed some finishing touches. I grabbed my purse and looked in the mirror before going downstairs.

"Yea. Let's go." we got in the car and Jim kept staring at me at every red light.

"I look bad, Jim?" he still didn't say nothing. I was on the verge of crying already.

"Baby, what's wrong ?" I still looked away.

"You making me look bad." I sniffled so the kids didn't hear me. His hand on my thigh made me shiver.

"You look gorgeous." I wiped my tears and starting blushing. He chuckled and began to drive again.

We pulled up to his mother's house and all the cars were parked everywhere. Jim finally found a spot and parked.

We got out and grabbed the kids out the car and went inside. No one was in but they were outside.

My stomach grew a bit and I tried to hide it until it was time to tell everybody.

"Hey, Mama J." I gave her a hug and a kiss.

"Wow, baby you're glowing. Your not wearing makeup, are you ?" I shook my head and she shrugged it off and went to have fun.

"Hey, Renee." Jim's sister Tania greeted me. I gave her a long hug. "I have a surprise for you." she covered my eyes and made me walk somewhere.

"Can I see now ?" she moved her hands and I nearly cried. It was Ramona, Brittany, and Avery.

"Oh my goodness, I miss you guys. SQUAD." I yelled and some people looked at me funny.

"SQUAD." they yelled back. We went inside and caught up with each other.

"Oh my gosh, how are you and Derek?" she looked at me and showed me her ring.

"We're getting married. He proposed to me 3 weeks ago." I nodded and smiled.

"That's nice. Very beautiful." they all just stared at me and I felt uncomfortable. "What ? Why y'all staring so hard ?"

"You're glowing. But I don't see no makeup. You ain't pregnant, are you ?" Damn it. Brittany always knowing everything.

"I was waiting for the right time to tell everybody. But yes and don't tell no one." he nodded and rubbed my stomach.

"This is your 4th child, wonder how you can handle it." Ramona said and I chuckled.

"So what about you Brittany and Avery ? You guys got married. Any kids ?" they looked at each other and smiled.

"Yes she is outside. Her name is Krystal with a 'K'."

"I had a feeling." I replied and Jim walked in. "What happened ?"

"Umm, Moms is looking for you. I think it's time to tell them the news." I nodded and everybody followed out after me.

Jim

"Mama, can you cut down the music for a second please ?" Renee asked.

"Why, baby ?" I smiled at the thought when she said baby.

"Just do it please." she went and stopped the music and everybody groaned. She got on a chair to get a better view of everybody there.

"J and I have an announcement to make." she grabbed my hand and gently squeezed. "We are having another baby." everybody just cheered snd congradulated us.

"I knew it, Renee." my mother said and gave me a kiss. "I just remember when Jim was in diapers." I blushed in embarrasement.

Brittany ran up to Renee and whispered in her ear and she got tensed. This is not good. She pulled me with her and we walked outside.

And there was a lady sitting on the doorsteps crying. I tapped snd she turned around.

"Brianna ?"
