I'm gonna love you for life, your love is all I need
I want you to know the this is real, the feeling that I feel
You are my everything and I love you for just being you
This is why I take this time to sing these words to you

Kitty was at work when she felt super light-headed and dizzy. She was already sitting down, so she held on to the desk to brace herself. She felt what felt like a contraction...but that couldn't be. She had six weeks to go. She was not taking any chances.

"Randi!"

Randi rushed into her office.

"Yes, Ms. Kitty."

"I'm not feeling too good."

"Oh shit! I mean...sorry...Is the baby coming?"

"No, that's not it," she said as she took a deep breath and rubbed her belly. It felt like a menstrual cramp, and it did not hurt much, so could not be a real contraction. "Braxton-Hicks maybe?"

"What's that?"

"False labor pains."

"Should we go to the hospital?"

"No," she said, trying to stand, and Randi rushed to her to help her up. "I think I'm going to go up and lay down."

"Want me to call Icee?"

"He's out with T-Zack hosting a talent show at his old high school."

"He will leave and come be with you if I tell him you're not feeling well," Randi said. "I will help you upstairs but you need to call him or I will."

She felt fine once she was in their loft, changed into something comfy, and laid in the bed with her feet up. Randi brought her something to drink and some food, but she did not feel like eating or drinking anything. She did not call Icee, but she texted him that she was not feeling well, but that he should not worry.

Randi called Icee anyway and told him that he should come to be with her. Of course, Icee dropped what he was doing and rushed home, with T-Zack and they both were acting as if the baby was about to come. She laughed at them.

"Ummm, you guys need to calm down."

"Kitty, the baby may be coming, how do you know it's false labor pains? I've been through this three times," T-Zack said.

"Since when did you carry a baby inside of you?" she asked. "Zack, you haven't carried a baby so you don't know. I'm fine. The baby is not coming."

"Woman, you tripping," Icee said. "We're taking you to the hospital."

"Why?"

"Because you said you were having labor pains."

"I said...it's called Braxton-Hicks and it's false labor pains. I'm not even close to my due date."

"Zack man, if my wife is going to be stubborn about this, you got my back?"

"You know it."

Icee grabbed Kitty out of the bed and held her and started to walk off.

"Hey, what are you doing?"

"Taking my stubborn wife to the doctor. Now! Randi, you're coming too."

"Randi has to work."

Icee ignored her, went on ordering her employee to do things. "Randi, pack my wife some things in case she needs to stay at the hospital overnight."

"Why would I-" Kitty slapped her forehead. Icee was overreacting big time. She was not even feeling any false labor pains anymore.

Randi was running around, following Icee's orders. T-Zack was acting as if he knew everything because he had three kids, telling Icee she could be going into labor early. That was freaking Icee out as he held her and headed to the elevator.

"I'll just meet you guys there," Randi said.

"Randi, grab my phone! And my tablet!" she yelled out to him as Icee stepped into the elevator. "Can you at least put me down Icee? I can walk for myself."

"No! I'm not taking any chances."

"Icee put me down! I am fine! The baby is not coming! Why won't you listen to me?"

"Because you're stubborn."

"You're both stubborn, that's why y'all a perfect match," T-Zack said. "First baby and you're young Kitty, that baby can come any day now. Meechie had Ty three weeks earlier than her due date. Them doctors just be guessing."

"Three weeks and six weeks are eons apart. I'm not going into labor! Don't you think I would know if I was?"

"Well, let's let the doctor tell us that."

Icee loaded her in the backseat of T-Zack's Range Rover and Icee sat in the back with her. He kept rubbing her belly and she kept pushing his hand away.

"You good?"

"I'm fine."

"Did you eat?"

"I wasn't hungry."

"Babe, you gotta eat. For our baby, it doesn't matter if you feel like eating or not."

"I said I wasn't hungry!" she said a little louder to him. "If I'm not hungry, that means he's not hungry."

"But maybe that's why you weren't feeling so well, you need to eat." Icee rubbed her forehead and then kissed her. "Let me text Randi make sure he packs you some of that vegan shit you like to eat. You know they ain't got nothing you want to eat at the hospital."

She might as well just drop her attitude and let Icee have his way with this one. Let the doctor check her out, tell her it was nothing, and then she would be back home later that night.

Icee called the doctor ahead of time but he would not be able to see her for another hour. Because he was Icee, they did not have to go to the emergency room, she was immediately put in a wheelchair and wheeled to a room. Icee and T-Zack were still making a fuss over her while she waited on the doctor to come to see her. A nurse came and took all her vitals. Randi finally made it with a bag of her things and enough food in a cooler like she was staying for the week.

She groaned and rolled her eyes at them.

"So I have three guys that think they are my daddy. Panicking over nothing."

"I researched Braxton-Hicks and yes, they are normal and everything," Randi said, "But as T-Zack said, it could be early labor pains."

"I haven't felt anymore. I'm telling you-"

The doctor walked in and she stopped fussing at them.

"How are you, Kitty?"

"I feel fine."

"Good. Everything looks fine. When did you feel discomfort?"

"I was at work. I was not doing any heavy lifting or moving, I was sitting."

"When did you last eat?"

"I was uh..." She did not remember. She was sure she had breakfast, munched on some crackers, and had a banana.

"Did you have plenty to drink today?"

"I'm sure I did."

"See! She's not eating!" Icee said too loud standing by her side. "Babe, you can't forget to eat. You can't eat bird seeds and lettuce and a baby carrot and call that a meal. Doc-"

"Kitty, you need to schedule your meals so that you are eating regularly and enough. And drink plenty of liquids, water, milk, juice, tea even."

"Okay," she said with a nod. She could not believe maybe she could harm her child by not eating enough. She felt so bad.

"I think Kitty got a little dehydrated. That causes Braxton-Hicks. Get some water, eat something, she's good to go. Whenever she gets some fluids in her and she is feeling better, she can go."

"Thanks, Doc, you the man," Icee said.

Soon as he left, Randi pulled out bottled water from the cooler and a chopped salad in a lidded container.

"You gonna eat all that and drink that water and then some more," Icee said, kissing the top of her head. "Babe, don't scare me like this again."

"Sorry," she said, taking the water that Randi opened for her and sipping some.

"Kitty, you need to drink some more," T-Zack said.

"Oh my gosh!" She drank some more water. "There! T-Zack, Randi, you can go now. I will be ready to go in a bit."

Both the guys looked at Icee. She rolled her eyes at them.

"We good y'all, I'll holla back at you when we ready to head out."

After the guys left, Icee opened her salad bowl and looked around in the cooler for utensils. Randi had packed everything, including fresh linen napkins.

"You're ready to eat now?"

"Sure."

"I'm not going to fuss at you about not eating," he said, feeding her a mouthful of salad.

"Yes, you will."

"Okay, maybe a little. Girl, I wish you ate some meat. Maybe that's what the baby wants."

"IceeJay is going to be a vegetarian like me."

"Oh, so you just make that decision for him. Can he like, be born, and talk, and taste a steak before he makes that decision?"

"No. Long as we keep Marcello around, he won't be missing anything. If when he is older, he decides to eat meat, he can."

"Long as you eating enough and my baby gets enough, I don't care if you eat grass and pine cones. You gotta eat enough babe, I'm serious. This is not a game. And I'm not talking about just now because you're pregnant, I'm talking after. He still needs you eating enough. You're breastfeeding, right?"

"Yes."

"Then he is still relying on you to eat right, I know you can do this Kitty."

"I can. I have been eating, I swear. Just today I think I got too busy with work."

"I will make sure Randi has you on a schedule, feeding you at work when I am not there. And when I am with you, I will stay fattening you up," he said. "This lil salad here, girl...what else in here? You need some protein and calcium and vitamins."

She laughed. "Thanks for taking care of me Icee."

"For life baby. We're in this together, you and me. We'll take care of each other, okay?"

She nodded. She should be happy she had a considerate man like Icee that wanted to be at her beck and call through all this. She had been moody, grumpy, stubborn, and probably even mean to Icee, but he never wavered in loving her and being there. She feared she would push him away with all the hormonal changes but their love was even stronger.

"Icee, sorry I've been a lot to handle."

"Naw, you good ma," he said, kissing her. "I love you girl and I'm telling you, ain't shit you can do that can change that. For life baby!"

"And Icee, I'm sorry about the godfather thing, with T-Zack. He has been here for you and even me and he deserves to be Godfather as well. There's nothing wrong with him having two strong Black men to guide him in life."

"Make that three, include me in that!"

A/N: Thanks to my readers for pointing out there can be two sets of godparents!!! Added that last part after your comments and I like it!
