Chapter 68

DIGGY'S P.O.V.

*the next morning*

Waking up the next morning... in Y/N's bed. But we didn't do anything last night. It wasn't a problem for me. Despite us having sex before, she didn't want to rush this. Just because we were properly together didn't mean that sex was immediately on the table. She explained it, and you know what? I respected it and agreed. I respected her and her wishes and I knew that I wanted the best for her and her happiness. If it meant to wait a little longer, sure, why not?

She must have taken the kids to school and gone to work because she wasn't here.. and the stack of bowls, plates, a pan in the sink and some crumbs told me that they were all out of the house anyway. I decided to call Jasmine, tell her I'd be having Sia for the rest of this week, and paying a visit to Jermaine and his family. I hadn't heard from them in a while.

Jermaine- *raises his eyebrow* Back together? Forreal now, you're not playin games with me?

Diggy- Of course not. I'm in it 100% this time.

Jermaine- You said somethin like that last time. Diggy, I din't want you hu..

Diggy- I'm not going to hurt Y/N. Not when my kids are involved.

Jermaine- That didn't stop you last time.

Diggy- There isn't gonna be a next time. I'm not thinking about last time. I'm concentrating on correcting my mistakes and making the love of my life happy.

Jermaine- *hugs him* I couldn't be more proud of you..

Diggy- I'm just. I'm trying to be the man that you are.

Jermaine- *pauses* What?

Diggy- You now I've always looked up to you. Always wanted to be you, be like you, have what you have or similar. You're my brother, my role model. I just wanted to be like you. *sighs* And seeing that you and Melissa are married and you both have Xalia... I wanted that. The proper marriage, happy kids and a beautiful house.

Jermaine- *sighs and shakes his head* Dan, you'll never have what I have.

Diggy- *looks at him confused*

Jermaine- And I mean that in the nicest way. You have three kids now, you're completely in their lives and I know it's been a whirlwind because both your little girls were kept from you and you had to be persistent and you and Y/N have had ups and downs

Diggy- *nods a little*

Jermaine- But you're gonna have the best, I promise. I know in my heart that yes, I'll always love and have love for Y/N. Whether that's as an ex-partner or as my sister, but she's made for you. Not me and not anybody else. She's had two of your kids.. she's finally fuckin agreed to be with you *laughs a little*

Diggy- *chuckles*

Jermaine- *smiles* I just want you to be happy and do right by your family. Don't follow what I'm doin, do you.

Diggy- *smiles*

YOUR P.O.V.

I was more than excited about everything that was happening. Me and Daniel not only working together, but being together. Having our own family, the kids.. and expanding the family as we speak. I always glanced down at my stomach.. thinking what will I name you this time? and I hope you look like your sister.. my third child. His fourth. This was a little exciting. Apart from the constipation and a little sickness, I was excited.

Y/N- *signs off her paperwork*

*door knocks and opens*

Y/N- *looks up* Hey babe.. you signed those papers I gave to you?

Diggy- *closes the door* *locks it*

Y/N- *confused* Daniel, what the hell?

Diggy- *pushes everything off the table*

Y/N- *gasps* What the fuck?!! This isn't a movie scene, I gotta clean that up *gets out of her seat* *crouches to the floor* *picks up papers in a stack*

Diggy- *crouches in front of you* *lifts your chin and kisses you*

Y/N- *kisses him back* Mm.. Daniel, I gotta work

Diggy- *kisses you again* I don't care *bites on your lip* *crawls toward you and eases you onto the floor*

Y/N- *smirks*

*an hour later*

Y/N- So.. that's your idea of a lunch date?

Diggy- Hm.. maybe *laughs a little* *stops walking* Babe, do you know for sure that you're.. *pauses*

Y/N- *looks at him* Pregnant? I don't, no. I'll make an appointment for next week, I promise.

Diggy- Next week?

Y/N- Dig, you can't do it on the day, it doesn't work like that. And there's expenses and costs..

Diggy- I'll handle that. *kisses your cheek and walks off*

Y/N- *shakes her head* Oh wow..

*three months later*

Diggy- *looks over at you* Happy?

Y/N- Hm, a little.

Diggy- *leans over from his sunbed* *rubs your stomach* How's baby?

Y/N- Asleep. Not been moving a lot since I sat down

Diggy- *chuckles*

A getaway to Miami. Beautiful, hot and I was already tanning. The three kids playing in the sand and sea, bonding as siblings. It was great to spend time with Sia too, part of me did miss her. Her and Kelani became close really quickly, so I was glad for that.

Not to mention, I was just over three months pregnant. Four months of carrying this baby was approaching soon. I was ecstatic to tell everybody I was expecting. We'd only told the kids and no one else but our doctor knew. I think this baby was the one I was most excited for. No offence to my other kids...

*that night*

Diggy- *holds your hand over the dinner table* 

Y/N- *looks up at his eyes* What you thinking about?

Diggy- *shrugs* Why God put you in my life, how I got to be so blessed.

Y/N- *smiles* I don't know if that's corny or the truth

Diggy- *kisses your hand* I don't care. *pus his hand on your stomach* Three months and now almost four. Babe, I'm proud of you *kisses your cheek*

Y/N- *giggles* What do you want?

Diggy- Me, you in bed when we get back to the house.

Y/N- *rolls her eyes* Yeah, yeah..

Diggy- *chuckles*

*a few nights later*

DIGGY'S P.O.V.

Today was the only day Y/N spent this day of the vacation in the house we'd rented, just taking care of business and making a few calls. I made sure every and anything she ate was cooked properly, she was well-rested and if her body hurt, she'd get a massage. 

I cared for her. I loved her, it was my duty as her hu... no. I wasn't her husband or fiancé anymore, I had to get that out of my head. I was her partner. Boyfriend. Along the lines of that.

The kids were tired as hell when I brought them back form the beach, so I fed them quickly and put them all to sleep before making my way to the bedroom to sleep..

Diggy- *sees you typing and rubbing your eyes* Babe..

Y/N- *looks up and squints* Mm hm?

Diggy- Babe, that ain't good for you. *turns on the light* You gotta see properly

Y/N- *groans* No Dig, turn it off

Diggy- Turn that off.

Y/N- No, I have one line to go.

Diggy- You're yawning and tired, you gotta sleep. You can't do this to you and the baby, you have to get enough rest and not work yourself too hard.

Y/N- *pouts* But..

Diggy- No buts... get your ass to sleep right now. You're exhausted *pulls the covers over you*

Y/N- *sighs* Thanks..

Diggy- *gets changed and gets into bed* *wraps his arm around you* Who were you working with today?

Y/N- They let me handle Jeremih and his marketing strategy

Diggy- Oh, that's homie.

Y/N- *sighs* I now. And it's hard. Like marketing you, but I did it. And the report, my God, this guy is worth a couple million, but there's nobody solid on his back. His management are slacking.

Diggy- Don't worry about it. *kisses your neck* I'll let you sleep

Y/N- Wait.. Dig, should we tell everyone tomorrow? About the baby? I don't think I can keep this a secret for much longer

Diggy- *thinks and smiles* Why not? *kisses you* i love you 

Y/N- *smiles* I love you too.. *turns her head to her pillow* *begins to sleep*

*that night* *1am*

I was softly, but slowly awoken by a noise.. I initially thought it was one of the kids waking up far too early, but it was Y/N. Tossing and turning in her sleep. Grumbling, whining, holding herself in a ball and squirming. It alerted me that she wasn't dreaming, more that she was trying to. She was in pain.

I sat up quickly, turning to her as she laid on the pillows, clutching onto the sheets in agony. She peeked open her eyes and looked at me. Eyes that screamed to call 911 immediately. She tried to sit up in the bed.. but all I saw was a pool of blood underneath her. She looked down, tears filling her eyes and the droplets crashing down next to the red stain on the sheets. "Help me" she whispered to me, her panicked eyes meeting mine in her eyes and her voice trembling. 

I didn't hesitate.
