Side Chic by La'Tonya West

couldn’t see. The anticipation was killing me. “Oh boy…well isn’t this something?’
    “What? What’s wrong?” I asked growing worried.
    “Oh nothing’s wrong doll baby but you are in for a bit of a surprise.” She responded turning the monitor around so that I could see.
    I looked at the monitor but couldn’t make out what I was looking at. “Ummm…I don’t know what I’m looking at exactly.” I admitted.
    She let out a chuckle and pointed at the screen. “You are looking at 1 baby here and 1 baby here.”
    I was sure that I’d heard her wrong. “Say what?”
    She repeated. “Here’s one baby and here’s the other. Ms. Chambers, you are fourteen weeks pregnant with twins.” The room started to spin and I felt lightheaded. “Are you alright?”
    I couldn’t respond. I just laid there and cried.

    It was Saturday and being that I had the weekend off I decided to kick it with the fellas. I hadn’t kicked it with my boys in a minute. All of my time had been going into spending time with Kisha and the kids. Today was my day. I took a shower and got dressed in a pair of black Jordan sweats, a white tee, a pair of all black Jordans and a black VA fitted. I ’d just gone to the barbershop that morning and gotten a fresh cut and shave. I looked myself over in the full length mirror in the bathroom one more time before going down the hall into the living room.
    Kisha was sitting on the sofa with her head stuck in a book as usual.  “Alright sexy, I’ll be back in a few.” I kissed her as I slipped on my coat .
    “Yeah … don’t be out too late.” She said never looking up from the book that she was reading.
    “I’m not. ” I assured her. “ What’s that you’re reading that has you all sucked in?”
    “The name of it is Salty by an author named Aleta Williams.” She looked up at me finally. Her eyes glowing with excitement! “It’s a good book too, now stop bothering me so that I can finish reading and get started on the two free books that Black Expressions sent me in the mail yester day! ”
    I shook my head. This woman loved to read. “That’s where all of our money is going to…in books.” I teased her. “You got so many dag on books that we barely have room for anything else. I’m starting to think that you have a problem.”
    She flipped her book over and laid it down on the sofa and then looked up at me. She looked so sexy with her hair pulled back into a ponytail , wearing one of my big shirts and a pair of footies. “I see you aren’t going to hush so that I can finish reading my book. Now as far as me having a problem, it could be worse. I could be out running the streets and giving my goodies away !”
    “Yeah and you could get your head knocked off! Don’ t play with me girl! ” I said grabbing her and tonguing her down. I laid her back on the sofa , kissing her on her chin and then her neck.
    She started pushing me off of her. “Tre move! You are going to mess up my book!”
    “What?”
    “Move boy! My book is on the sofa and you have me l y ing on top of it! That will mess up the cover!”
    “Lord have mercy!” I said letting her up. “The kids are gone and we have the opportunity to get it in right here on the sofa and all you can worry about is your book!” I laughed because s he never ceased to amaze me.
    “We can get it in later when you get home! Right now Salty is calling my name!” She picked up her book from the sofa.
    “Yeah well I’m s alty that I can’t get no pussy because my wife would rather read.”
    She smiled at me, biting on her bottom lips. “I like the sound of that… my wife. ”
    “I bet you do. You should know something though…a real wife would never choose a book over sexing her husband.” I teased but there was some seriousness to my statement .
    “I’ll keep that in mind. Now toss me those chocolate chip cookies over there by the TV on your way out the door and stop
