We timed it so he could be on the phone at the exact moment I found out the sex of the baby at the gender reveal. I didn’t even want one, but his sister and mother insisted. His mother, stepfather, sister, his grandparents, a few aunts, two uncles, and three of his cousins came to the gender reveal. I was appreciative at how supportive his family had been throughout my pregnancy. His grandmother cooked for me often, and his mother called to check on me at least once a week.
I didn’t really want to do anything when it came to a gender reveal or a baby shower, but people kept insisting saying I’d regret it if I didn’t. Surprisingly, even my mother had made the effort to stop getting on my nerves as much. I couldn’t figure out if she was trying to change or if she wanted to stay on my good side because I told her I had a million dollars. One of the best things about my pregnancy, was that Tesha was pregnant too. She was five months, and we complained to one another every other day. I was still tired as hell and starting to have back pain. Still, I had to thank God that I only threw up twice during this pregnancy. My son had been pretty good to mommy. Tesha was having a girl.
I forced myself to stop crying, wiped my face, and walked out of the bathroom. The doorbell rang, and I let the makeup artist in. “Hey, boo.” I offered a smile even though I was positive that she could tell I’d been crying. Obviously, she did because she hugged me tight.
Hugs had the ability to activate tears, and I closed my eyes in an effort to keep them at bay. “It’s been an emotional day?” she stepped back and peered into my face.
All I could do was nod. She didn’t know the half.
“We’re going to fix you right on up. Come on.”
Tina, Bev, and Alicia arrived a few minutes before my makeup was done. Tina brought deviled eggs and chicken salad that she’d prepared. Kastian’s grandmother was making baked beans, apple cobbler, and red velvet cake. Bev was going to fry chicken at my house, and Alicia brought brownies. Kastian’s mother was bringing pasta salad, and his stepfather was coming to cook hot dogs, chicken, steak, and burgers on the grill.
By the time I got dressed and did my hair, the first batch of hot dogs and burgers were done. Most of the guests had arrived, and there were gifts covering a table in the corner. Igreeted everyone and popped a deviled egg into my mouth. I was pouring some lemonade when Bev made an announcement.
“Okay if I can have everybody’s attention, we’re going to play our first game.” I sat down in a chair that had been placed in the center of the backyard. I wanted to eat more than anything else, but if she insisted on games, I’d eat while we played.
“That game is, what should Persia take with her to the hospital when she goes into labor? The first thing isssssssss,” the back door opened. “Her baby daddy!” she yelled.
Everyone clapped and cheered as I stopped breathing. I literally almost passed out as I watched Kastian walk toward me. He had tunnel vision as he ambled in my direction. No one in that yard mattered except me. He looked so good. When I say my man looked good, he looked the fuck good. Kastian had gained at least ten pounds of muscle. His beard was neatly trimmed. He had a fresh line up, and he was dressed in black cargo shorts, a black, red, and white shirt, and red and black sneakers. The scent of his cologne almost made me lose it. The scent was so nostalgic that it had me discombobulated.
I didn’t realize I was shaking until I stood up. The moment he wrapped his arms around me, I erupted into tears. I had no clue how the moment was real, but it was. His scent. The hold he had on me. It was real. I cried for a full minute before he let me go.
“How?” I wiped my tears away. “How are you here?”
“I lied about my trial date. I told you it started next week, but it actually started Thursday. Yesterday, I was found not guilty, and my stepdad came and picked me up. I stayed at my mom’s house, so I could get a haircut and shit today and come surprise you.”
“You had your trial without me?”
“Baby, it was only one day. They didn’t have enough evidence to convict me. Ryder told the truth. He never mentioned my name, and Ray Ray was found to not be a credible witness,so what he said didn’t hold any weight. The Feds raided my warehouses, and they didn’t find anything. I also had a few prominent people like a judge, an attorney, and a government official to testify as character witnesses. The judge looked at all my accomplishments, the lack of evidence, and the fact that I have a clean record, and he let me go. That’s big baby. Not many niggas can take the Feds to trial and beat them. I was nervous, but I did it.”
I was happy of course, but I was also a little upset.
“When I found out the date of the baby shower, I chose to lie to you. My lawyer suggested I not take the plea because they didn’t have any substantial evidence. I was scared, but I chose to trust him. I knew if I could get off, it would be a great surprise. And if I was found guilty, I didn’t want it to fuck up the baby shower. It was the first and only time I will ever lie to you, I promise. I didn’t want anything to ruin this day for you. If you’re stressed then my baby is stressed, and I can’t take that.”
I started crying again, and he wrapped his arms back around me. After a few minutes, Bev’s loud ass spoke again.
“Okay, y’all will have time for that later. Let’s get this party started!”
Three hours later, Kastian was flat on his back in my bed, and I was on my knees sucking his dick. It had been almost eight months since my man had been touched by a woman. I spit, moaned, hummed, and sucked on his dick until he was exploding in my mouth. I knew he would cum quick, and I didn’t even mind.
“Sit on my face,” Kastian eyed me hungrily.
I wasted no time obliging. “I’m kinda big now,” I joked. I had gained twenty-six pounds during my pregnancy, and it was mostly in my ass and breasts. If I wore oversized shirts, it was hard to tell I was pregnant. My weight was evenly distributed. It didn’t just go to my belly, and I preferred it that way. I wasn’t even huge, and my back had been killing me for the past month. I couldn’t imagine if my stomach was much bigger.
“I can handle all this ass. Believe that.”
Gripping the top of the headboard, I lowered myself onto Kastian’s face. My head rolled back as he licked and slurped my peach. It dawned on me that I hadn’t had sex during my entire pregnancy. My clit was so sensitive, and I was so horny that I was literally shaking and crying two minutes later from an orgasm that left me shaking like a stripper in church.
“Fuck, this pussy missed me,” he murmured in between placing kisses on my vagina.
Even though my belly wasn’t huge, I doubted it would be comfortable for him to get on top of me. Lowering my body, I grabbed Kastian’s dick and guided it into my vagina. My lips parted and mouth hung agape as I inched slowly down on his dick.
“Ohhhhhhhhh shit,” Kastian moaned.
My shit was so tight. It was almost as if I’d never had him inside me before. I had to adjust to his size all over again.
“This pregnant pussy gon’ drive me the fuck insane,” he moaned as he gripped my waist. “Fuck, baby.”
