When Monae got back to Tyren's house, it was late in the evening.
"You're finally back. I was just about to call you.", said Tyren. "How was the spa?"
Tyren is currently sitting on the couch.
"Fine..still stressed but fine", said Monae.
"Come sit with me", he said.
Monae walked to Tyren and sat next to him.
"Your son been fighting sleep all day", said Tyren.
Monae smiled.
"Oh that's funny?", asked Tyren with a smile.
"No...it's just...nothing. Is he sleep now?", asked Monae.
"Yes", said Tyren.
"Good", said Monae. "Because I'm tired too."
"...I have a question", said Tyren. "You staying with me or are you moving out."
"I don't know right now. At this point I might as well stay because you've been a big help with Kylan", said Monae.
"That's the only reason?", asked Tyren. "Not because you want to see his handsome face everyday?"
Monae looks at Tyren. "That burn is starting to look better. But anyways, just because we're back together doesn't mean I want to move so fast to how things used to be. Although we are living together again, I do want to take things slow."
"Slow huh?", asked Tyren.
"Yea...you sound down about that", said Monae.
"It's just that...well Monae before we broke up I wanted to marry you. I wanted to marry you because I wanted things to be different between us. I wanted to start over...I was hoping that maybe we could do that. You're not girlfriend material. You're wife material. I want a lifelong commitment with you. I don't wanna hold you along by string."
Monae stops looking at him.
"You mean more to me than you'll ever know", said Tyren.
Monae looks at Tyren.
"I love you", said Tyren.
"Just give me some time to think", said Monae.
"That's fine", said Tyren.
Monae began to take her shoes off. She began massaging her feet.
"Let me do it baby", he said.
"I forgot, you're the pro at this", said Monae as she sat back and laid her feet on his lap.
Tyren began massaging her feet.
"I wish I was there to do this during your pregnancy", said Tyren.
"I'm sorry", said Monae.
"For?", asked Tyren.
"...for not realizing that Caleb was the one behind this all this time", said Monae.
"Let's not speak on him now. That nigga dead, let it stay that way", said Tyren before kissing her foot.
Monae watched him.
"Thank you", said Monae.
"For what? Kissing your foot?", he asked with a chuckle.
"No...for trying to change for me. It takes a lot for a person to change who they are and you're doing that...thank you", said Monae.
"I'm not changing just for you. I'm changing for me, my sons...Rico... I want my sons to know how to treat a woman and well Rico was rooting for me so I can't fail him", said Tyren.
Monae smiled.
"Only family I got is my kids and you... I mean like my crew is too but I'm talking about my happy place. You and my kids are my happy place.", said Tyren.
Monae moved her leg back down and leaned into Tyren. She kissed his cheek and then she kissed his lips. They began making out until Tyren pulled away.
"I'm never going to break your heart again", said Tyren.
Monae nods.
Tyren leaned back into Monae and started kissing her again.
Monae started kissing his neck, then she pushed him back to lay him down. They began making out.
Tyren stopped kissing her.
"It's too bad I don't trust anybody with our son. Because I right now I just wanna be in silence with you like this", said Tyren.
"Well cherish this moment while it lasts", said Monae.
Monae and Tyren began kissing again.
——————
It's been a several months since Monae and Tyren got back together. He was a whole new person to Monae. He was the same Tyren but at the same time, so much more mature and she loved it. It was like they were the happy family that Monae begged for. She was finally getting what she wanted.
Monae and Tyren are currently walking out of the courthouse because they just got married.
Tyren carried Kylan as they walked out of the courthouse.
"I can't believe we're married", said Monae.
"I can believe it because I've been waiting patiently for this moment", said Tyren.
"You? Me", said Monae.
Suddenly, multiple police trucks pulled up in front of them.
"Oh shit", said Tyren.
They got out of car with guns.
"Get on the ground!", they demanded.
"I got my fucking kid in my arms, you wanna aim guns at me and my fucking wife", asked Tyren.
"Oh the ground, now!", demanded one of the officers.
"Get down", said Monae calmly, as she got out her knees with her hands.
Tyren looks at Monae. Kylan begins crying.
"One last time", said the officer.
"Get down, now.", said Monae.
Tyren gets on his knees.
The officers come up to Monae and Tyren. As two officers put the handcuffs on Monae and Tyren, one of them takes Kylan.
"Where's he going. What are you going to do with him?", asked Monae.
"We'll discuss all that later, right now Monae Simmons and Tyren Smith, you two are under arrest for drug trafficking, murder, grand theft robbery, amongst other charges. You have the right to remain silent, anything you say or do could be held against you in the court of law. If you cannot afford an attorney, one will be granted to you."
They finish reciting their rights to Tyren and Monae as they continue to walk them to the trucks.
Monae watches them take Kylan to another car. She feared of not seeing him again more than she feared for going to jail.
"Baby, you gonna be good. He gonna be good. Don't even trip", said Tyren.
Monae looked at Tyren before they put them in separate trucks.
