Chapter 2: The news and the money

Nina Pov

My lovely daughter, Alexandra or what Andre and I call Alex, was born 1 week ago and now she's finally home. This is her 5th night here.

She hasn't been crying lately so that's good. Andre is at an interview and I'm home trying to take care of Alexandra. She's upstairs napping. Suddenly I hear the phone ring.

Nina: Hello?

Andre: Hey baby I'm on my way home.

Nina: Great! So did you get the job?

Andre: Yup I'm now a news reporter.

Nina: YAY!

Andre: Call Amber to baby sit I wanna go out somewhere nice.

Nina: Okay. Bye. Love you.

Andre: Bye

I hung up the phone and phoned Amber.

*phone rings*

Amber: Hello?

Nina: Hey Ambs. Could you do me a favor?

Amber: Sure. What is it?

Nina: Could you watch Alex while I and Andre go out?

Amber: Sure bring her by at around 5:30.

Nina: Thanks.

I hung up the phone. It's 4:17 pm. I go upstairs and check on Alexandra. She was still sleeping away.

I went into me and Andre's room and changed into a purple knee length dress. I wear black flats and make my hair into a braided bun.

I hear the door unlock and see Andre walk in.

"Hi darling"

"Nina. How's Alex?"

"Fine"

"Good so is she getting ready to go with Ambs."

"I'm still getting her ready"

I go upstairs and grab everything amber might need. Baby powder, diapers (ultra), car seat, milk (mine), and her rattle.

I pick Alex up and grab her pjs.

"READY!"

"All right"

I walk Alexandra to the car and place her in the car seat. She's waking up a little and then she fell back asleep. When we got to Amber and Alfie's house, Amber was out waiting for us. She took Alex and told us to have a good time.

"Bye Ambs"

"Bye"

We arrived at the restaurant and we both ordered lobster.

"I'm happy for you baby"

"Well, Nina it looks like we can move from the house."

"What why?"

"Well I got my first pay and it says 10,000$."

"That's great but you want to spend it all on the house."

"Yes well now that your mentioning it, it seems a little early."

"Let's use the money on more reasonable causes. Like for Alex's needs. And the insurance and baby a new car."

"Sounds good to me"

The lobster had come and we finished them after 10 minutes. We paid for the check and tipped the waiter. When we got to Amber's house the only one asleep was Amber. I saw Alfie playing with Alex.

"Thanks Alfie"

"Don't sweat it. Bye Alex"

I put Alex in her car seat and she fell asleep. When we got to the house I took Alex upstairs and changed here diaper and put on her pjs and place her in the crib. I went to me and Andre's room and changed into a white satin knee length nightgown. Andre was just wearing his underwear. He was already in bed waiting for me. I climbed into to bed and snuggled next to him. He put his arm around my waist and I quickly kissed him goodnight.

"Goodnight"

"Night love."

I closed my eyes and fell asleep.
