Chapter 3 Reginae I woke up the next morning naked next to a naked Christopher. Christopher had his arms wrapped snuggly around me. I unwrapped myself from his arms and walked slowly into the bathroom. Last night was amazing! Christopher touched and made love to my body in ways nobody else could even think of. He took his time and he loved me right. I never expected to come five times and to keep him on his toes. When I came back into Christopher’s bedroom. I realized last night we had sex on Christopher’s tour bus and then he picked me up and we had sex again here. Christopher blurted out “You have PPD?” “What in the hell is PPD?” “Postpartum #depression. It’s a type of clinical #depression that affects most women after childbirth.” “How do you know all this?” “You have a decreased sex drive. Your sleeping and eating have changed dramatically. You look more exhausted. You show that you are having a feeling of being overwhelmed.” I sit up in the bed and put on Christopher’s t-shirt. I said “The fucking doctor said that we should wait 6 weeks before having sex again.” Christopher chuckled and said “Babe, it’s 2 months already. SiyAisha would’ve turned 2 months old on the 30th.” I put my head in my hands. Christopher said with so much excitement in his voice “How do you feel, babe?” “I’m good.” “That’s good. What you want to eat?” “I’ve been feigning for some pancakes, eggs, grits and some sausage. And a tall fresh glass of orange juice.” “Coming right up! I’ll be back in 10 minutes.” Christopher kissed my cheek, then slapped my ass and ran down the stairs. Christopher I walked up in front of Chef Pierre. Chef Pierre was holding Reginae’s large tray filled with her favorite things, like strawberries, pancakes, pineapples, grapes, eggs, bacon, sausages, cheese, and a tall squeezed glass of orange juice. I managed to get her a dozen bouquet of pink roses to sit on the side of the tray. But when I walked inside, Reginae was sleeping peacefully. I just walked over to her and kissed her cheek and Chef Pierre grabbed the tray and we made the trip back down the 18 stairs to the kitchen. 4 Hours Later at 1:30pm Momma J Christopher and I are in the living room. I’m watching a movie on my iPad and Christopher is on his blackberry texting away. I blurt out “Christopher, where’s Reginae?” “Upstairs still sleep I think!” He says still looking at his phone. I get up from the living room and walk up the 18 flights of stairs to their bedroom where like he said, she was sound asleep. I sit on the bed next to her and she jumps up. I take her hand and say “Baby, it’s me. How are you feeling?” She puts her hand on her head and says “Exhausted. I need to throw up.” She jumps off the bed and goes to throw up in the toilet. I go right behind her and hold her hair up. She stands up and wipes her mouth. I grab a bottle of water from the table and give it to her. She takes a little sip and then a big one. She says “Thanks Momma.” I watch as she crawls back under the covers and drifts off to sleep. I can tell that Reginae is pregnant again. She might not want to admit it but, she’s pregnant.
