“No, three is perfect. My kids will be out of school by then—kids are welcome, you said?”

“They are.” I smiled.

She sighed a little out of relief, then said, “Thank you. I-I’m coming back.”

As she walked off, I hoped shedidcome back.

“I was thinking I can do their nails sometime,” Scotland said, making me turn around to see her standing behind me.

“That would be nice. Maybe like a weekday thing since I know weekends are busy for you.”

“Yep, sounds good.” She smiled. “I love what you’re doing, Stazi. I just hope women see this and take the help.”

“Me too.” I started walking with her so we could go pass out the fliers.

On the way, I chuckled at my sister forcing one into some man’s hand.

I couldn’t wait for next week.

“I will giveyou some time to look around.” The realtor left the big ass den with a hell of a view.

Sophie was asleep on my shoulder, having tired herself out from running around the last five fucking houses we saw.

“I love this one. How much did she say?” Anastazia quizzed.

“Don’t matter.”

“Something could happen, and I’d need to pay the house note, budget, all that, Asif.” She paced, taking in the high ceilings and shit.

“I’m gon’ pay cash for it, so won’t be no note, only the taxes and shit,” I replied. “But it’s nineteen.”

“Nineteen what?” She turned to look at me with parted lips and wide ass eyes. “Million?”

“Yes. Definitely not thousand, love.”

“Shit. I never even dreamed of living in a house this expensive.” She continued, taking it in.

Nearing her, I said, “That’s my job to make yo’ fucking dreams come true.” I smirked. “Give you shit you never even thought of having.”

“You have definitely been doing that, and not just with material things.” She leaned her head back for a peck, and I obliged. “Hmm.” She looked around again before hugging me on the side since Sophie had taken over my other. “Wearegonna need the room.”

“Word?” I looked down at her, wondering if she was finally confirming my fucking theory.

“Yep, we’re having a baby—Asif!” She screeched when I picked her up with my free arm to kiss her neck. “You being this strong just turned me on.” She laughed before kissing my lips.

“Damn, I know it’s a boy too.”

“I don’t know, could be a girl.” She fixed her dress as the realtor stepped down into the room, seeing me place my girl to her feet.

“I really don’t care, but I just got a feeling it’s a little me in there.” I touched her stomach, making the agent smile as if she knew what the fuck was going on.

“So what do we think? Or would we like to schedule some more showings?”

I looked down at Anastazia, who was blushing with her pretty ass, even prettier now that I knew for sure my baby was growing in her womb.

“We will take it,” she answered.

“All cash offer, and I need a fifteen-day closing,” I added.
