The last few months of Brenda's life felt like a whirlwind. After finding out who fathered her child it was like she went through an emotional rollercoaster on a weekly basis. She had recently moved into her own new three bedroom house because Dean was literally going to drive her crazy. She needed her own space and the house just so happened to be exactly what she needed. It wasn't too big nor was it too small. It was perfect for her and she knew it would be perfect for her son. Her house was recently finished the way she wanted and she was so content just being alone. But now she was currently stuck on bed rest, and she was about to lose her damn mind.
"Will you stop pouting. It won't kill you to chill and relax a little. All you've been doing since you moved in is fixing this and changing that. Relax! And on top of that ever since you got put on bed rest last week all you've done is complain and pout. I'm just here so you won't be lonely!" Bren signed.
"I know that Naomi, but the baby's room isn't ready and I haven't even packed my bag for the hospital yet! I only have five weeks left and I honestly don't want anything to do with the father of my child at the moment so I'm doing it all on my own!" Naomi shot her a look for the father of her child comment.
"You and I both know that's a damn lie. His room has been done, and no you can't see it yet. It's been done for a while the guys jumped on it as soon as they found out about the bed rest. As far as your hospital bag we can do that right now just tell me what you need." Brenda teared up at the thought of the baby's room being finished, she honestly had the best group of people surrounding her.
After the dark cloud of the paternity of her child was lifted it seemed that everything slowly started to calm down after the first blow up over it. Jey and Roman had once again come to blows over the situation, but after that it seemed that they both got it out of their systems. Roman had moved into his own house in Tampa after getting full custody of Sophia thanks to Lina being sentenced. Jey on the other hand had also moved to Tampa seeing as everyone he was closest to lived there. But he'd be at Brenda's house more often than not.
As hurt as he was over her infidelity he just simply couldn't stop loving her. They weren't a couple but anyone with eyes could see that it wouldn't be long before they reunited. Naomi got a message on her phone and suddenly started smirking. "Bren, get up and get in the shower we got somewhere to be in the next hour." She told her excitedly as she went to her closet for the perfect outfit for Bren. But all Bren did was look at her as if she'd lost her mind.
"Do you not know what the meaning of bed rest is? Where the hell are we supposed to be going anyway?" Bren said as she reluctantly got off of her bed.
"That's for me to know and you to find out. Now get your ass in the shower, we've got things to do!" After what seemed like hours later Bren walked out of her bedroom dressed in the outfit that Naomi picked. Which was a mid sleeve long Teal shirt paired with black leggings and ankle booties.
"Do you really think it's a good idea for a pregnant chick to be wearing ankle booties? Because I don't, especially if you expect me to be walking around in them." Bren stood in front of Naomi with her arms crossed in front of her large baby bump.
"I promise you won't be walking much, but you look so damn cute right now hold on." Naomi smirked as Bren started to whine over being photographed looking like a hot air balloon. Before Bren could stop her she quickly snapped a few pics before sending them to Roman, Jey, Dean, Seth, and Jimmy with the caption 'momma bird will soon be landing.'
"Okay c'mon before I change my damn mind. I'm hungry anyway you should stop somewhere and get me a Vanilla milkshake because that's really what your godson wants right now." Brenda told her with a hopeful look. Mentioning the phrase your godson wants usually got her any food items wanted, but apparently that wasn't working this time.
"Nah, you'll get food once we get to our destination." Naomi laughed when Brenda actually pouted over not getting a milkshake. Twenty minutes later Naomi pulled up to a house that she didn't recognize.
"Whose house is this? I know you did not make me leave my comfortable ass bed to bring me to a strangers house? Naomi you're about to owe me two milkshakes in a minute." Bren told her as she looked at the house from the passenger side of Naomi's car.
"Just come on. I promise you're gonna love this, and if you don't I'll bring you a milkshake everyday for the rest of the week." After hearing that Bren put up less of a struggle.
"Okay Bren hold my hand and close your eyes." Bren just raised an eyebrow at her. "C'mon girl! You know you can trust me just do it." With a sigh Brenda shut her eyes and followed Naomi's instructions into the house. As Bren and Naomi stepped into the living room of the house Naomi held up her fingers to signal the countdown. Once she got to one she told Bren to open her eyes and the room full of people yelled surprise.
"Oh my god. What? Why didn't- Oh my god. I gotta pee." Bren waddled away from the laughing crowd to try and find a bathroom. While she was still looking for the bathroom the owner of the house walked up behind her.
"Upstairs, it's the first door on the right." He whispered into her ear. Without looking back she followed his directions to what she thought was the bathroom only to walk into a room fully decorated as a nursery with a football and wrestling theme. The whole room was painted red with black detailing and had a black crib with Jonathan painted on the wall over it. Another wall held the WWE, Intercontinental, World Heavyweight, and one of the tag team titles. The bedding on the crib was strictly themed after the San Francisco 49'ers, but some how it all meshed together and looked great. All of the little special touches around the room made her heart melt. It surprised her how thought out it looked. Not just some random things here and there he actually had a theme.
"This is really nice. I see you just had to have your team in here somewhere, huh?" He just shrugged his shoulders and was about to say something else when she cut him off.
"This is great and all, but I wasn't lying when I said I have to pee. Your big ass child is currently sitting on my bladder and I need to go!" He showed her where it was and walked back downstairs. He watched as Naomi turned to look skeptically at him but he just raised his hands as if to say he didn't do anything. A few minutes later Bren walked into the room looking shyly at all of the people who came together for her and her son.
"You guys didn't need to do all of this! I don't even know what to say!" Of course she'd get emotional over cake, junk food, and baby items she thought to herself. There were three diaper cakes, two smaller cakes one with two blue footprints and the other with a pair of edible baby sneakers, and then there was a huge three layer cake in the center of a table filled with all sorts of blue candy exclaiming that it's a boy! Whoever put all of this together did a damn good job and she didn't have a clue on how to thank them.
"Well baby momma, what do you think? How do you like your baby shower?" As soon as the words left her mouth Bren started crying.
"I love it so much! I can't even put into words how great it is, and have you seen all of the candy? This kid is going to be hyper as hell I hope you know that? There are blue Skittles Naomi, SKITTLES! I am going to be the fat ass that I am today and nobody can judge me." Bren said as she spotted someone come into the door.
"Ambrose, I know you aren't coming late to the babyshower of your own godson? See that Johnny, your Uncle Dean is already messing up." Bren said looking down at her stomach. Dean glared at her before squatting to talk to Bren's belly.
"Well Johnny, you'll have to forgive me just this once because I was here, but I got sent to the store so that's why I wasn't here when your mom got here." He then stood to his full height while mock glaring at her. "I helped name him you little shit I'm not messing up because I'm being the best Uncle in the world!" He said as he handed Bren a bag containing a huge bag of Cool Ranch Doritos, one of her current favorites when it came to her pregnancy cravings.
He had to laugh at the way her eyes lit up over the junk food. "I take it back! You're the best brother ever!" She said as she dramatically hugged the chips. Only to hear a throat clearing behind her, she turned around to see both Seth and Jimmy standing behind her with their arms crossed.
"What? I don't see you two giving me Doritos right now do I? Gimme Doritos and my mind might change." They both shook their heads at her before pulling her into hugs.
"I'm actually a little surprised to see you guys here. I mean it's not everyday that guys go to baby showers, but knowing your greedy asses y'all are here for the food. But thanks for coming to this surprise baby shower thing." Later she was whisked away to talk to a group of people she'd never even met who were slowly getting on her last nerve, asking about when she was going to pop out more babies to add to the already huge family. Did they forget the fact that she wasn't even seeing the man she was having this baby by?
Naomi had been her saving grace by announcing that it was time to open the presents. Being married to Jimmy she got the same talks on a regular basis. She knew how the Samoan women loved being grandmothers, aunts, or even cousins it was obvious just by the number of babies they all seemed to pop out.
"Oh, my god! I swear if they asked me one more time if I wanted more kids I was going to snap. Like, can I get him out of me first before they talk about other kids? Damn I don't know how you've been putting up with them regularly."
"I almost feel used to it by now, I guess. I just smile, nod, and hope I'm doing it at the right time. But for real let's open the presents I can't wait for you to see what the me and the guys got you."
After what felt like hours of endless smiling and thanking many 'aunt's' she finally got to a gift from Jimmy and Naomi. They got her a baby tub, a bouncy chair, and the cutest outfit she'd ever seen. It was a custom-made 49'ers onesie and hat, but the hat was made to look like a helmet and a pacifier with his initials on it. But the back of the onesie was what got her it. It had his father's college jersey numbers on it along with his last name. As much as Bren claimed to not have any interest in football she thought it was the cutest thing and Jonathan's dad probably loved it even more. She looked over and caught his eye and motioned for him to come closer to see it.
While he looked over the outfit she went through the rest of the things her "family" had given her. Dean got her a playpen, a baby carrier and more clothes than she knew what to do with. He had the biggest smile when he pulled one extra onesie from behind his back that said "I like boobs almost as much as Uncle Dean!" She rolled her eyes but couldn't stop her smile from spreading. It seemed that Seth and Leighla had bought her every single bottle, pacifier, and baby care product that they could find, and Leighla added a baby grooming kit with a note saying my godson better have his hair right when I get to see him. Love you!
After everyone left it was down to just Bren, Naomi, Dean, Jimmy, Seth, Jey and Roman. Jey decided to bring out his gifts for her after everyone else left. He bought her a top of the line stroller, car seat, a play mat, and what seemed like five months worth of diapers. She hugged him in thanks and he whispered something into her ear and then left. Bren watched him walk out of the door and let her tears flow for a minute, then she shook her head as if to try and clear it then turned around to Naomi's awaiting arms.
"What'd he say?" She whispered as Bren tried to get her breathing under control.
"He said that he wished he was the father, and that he still loves me and the baby regardless."
I just finished this and it's 1:52 a.m. but I really didn't want to wait because I probably would've forgot to post this. But there you have it's baby Reigns! It took me a while to choose because I love them both so much, but in the end I chose Roman as the dad. And look it didn't even take me a month to update this time! Lol. Review, please?
