The Return of The Blacks

Chapter 32

Its been two weeks and its now the day before our graduation. Right now i'm with mom, Amelia and Nik, we're picking out my dress for tomorrow. Yes I know it's a little late for that but i'm a procrastinator, what can I say. Each of us picked a dress for me to try on. I started with Nik's first. He picked a light yellow floor length dress with a slit.

I walked out of the dressing room to see Nik on the couch with Meels on his lap and Mom looking at other dresses. Meels saw me first and started jumping up and down on Niks lap stepping on him in the process.

"AHHHH MOMMY"
"OHHHHH God!!" Meels gasps and the same time Nik groans. I rush over to Amelia and grab her off his lap. I bend down to his level.

"Awww love are you okay?" He nods painfully and takes a minute or two to calm himself.

"I'm good" Amelia sits on his lap and apologies.

"It's fine baby" I walk up to the stand and show them the dress.

"I love it but I don't know if it's you sweetie" Mom says. I nod and walk back into the dressing room.

I picked a light blue ruched dress with a slit and sweetheart neck line. And it's the same thing.

Mom picked out a light pink right fitted silk dress with slit, and the same thing. These are all beautiful dresses but they just aren't me.

Lastly Amelia picked out this black tight dress with a slit.

Now this feels like it's more me. I walk out and go up to stand and look at them through the mirror. Meels runs up to me from Niks lap and hugs my legs.

"Mama you look beautiful" I smile at her and pick her up. I look back at mom and she nods with a smile. I see her tearing up and my smile drops and I turn around.

"Mom what's wrong?"

"You look so beautiful hunny. I'm just so glad we found you and that i could share this moment with you." I walk over to her and t bring her to sit on the couch while Nik takes meels over to look at some dresses to give us some alone time.

"After you got taken I never thought we would have this moment again but here you are, and i missed everything. I missed your first words, your first steps, everything." She cries. I hug her and try to calm her down.

"Well i'm here now, you can be there for me and meels now. My prom night, my 21'st birthday, My wedding, when i have more children. And you can be their for them. You're an amazing mom and and an amazing grandmother. We both love you so much and we're so glad we're here with you." We hug and after she calms down we go to pay for the dress. We went home to find dad and the guys sitting on the couch watching a football game.

"Hi guys, did you find a dress" dad asks after he paused the game. I don't answer i just climb on the couch next to him half sitting on his lap and tuck my head into his chest. He wraps his arms around me and look questionably at mom while she sits beside him.

"I'll tell you later" she whispers. I feel him nod and he leans down to kiss my head.
