"So your mama told me what happened a couple months ago." My nana and i were sitting outback on the patio talking. "Oh really." I said nervous. "Yes. Are you okay?" I bit my lip. "I'm better now. Giovanni and everyone have really helped me out." I said genuinely smiling. "So tell me about this 'Giovanni'." She said looking at me smiling.

"Well it sounds like you two have really help each other mature and grow." I smiled. "Do you really and truly love him?" I felt my face heat up. "Yes nana. I really do." She laughed. "Mama!!" I looked behind me to see my girls and my parents holding my boys. Evie came running to me first and jumped into my arms. "Hello munchkin." I looked at Claire. "Come give me my hug." She smiled and ran over to me.
I looked up my boys as they both reached out for me. "Why hello there Mr. chunky." I said taking him from my mother's arms as he smiled a toothless grin. Zay let out a soft yawn as I rubbed his cheek. I turned to my dad and before i took Langston i repositioned Zay. "Hey fat man." He squealed as he tried to nibble on my cheek. I laughed. "The boys behaved very well." My mama said.
I scrunched up my face. "What about the girls?" My dad sighed. "Evie and Claire... got into a little fight." I looked back at the girls and normally they were attached at the hip now they were opposite sides of the room. "What happened?"
"Well Evie was sitting in the living room and Claire came in holding one of Evie's toys. Out of nowhere Evie got up and snatched it from her yelling at her to stop touching her stuff. Then she said..." My mother got quiet. "What? What did she say."
"She said that she wished she was an only child again." I looked at her as she played with her cousins. "I'll talk to her." I said looking back at them. "But can someone tell me what happened to the guys?" I said looking at my dad. My parents looked at each other and i began to worry. "Is it bad? It is bad." My dad touched my elbow. "No it's not bad. They just had ...uh ...a little with the disposal." I looked at skeptical but before i could say anything the door burst open. "Where's my big headed sister?" I looked to see my annoying ass brother.
He smiled when he looked at me. "Ahh did you miss me?" He said pulling me into a hug. "Hey ugly." He smacked his lips. "Stop lying to yourself." He said rubbing his chin. I laughed which made Langston yell loudly. "Aye little nigga chill out with all that screaming." Jax said taking Langston out my arms. Langston smiled reaching for his face. "Uncle Jax!!" Evie yelled.
"My little chocolate chip." He said squatting down so she could hug him. "Where's your sister?" This little girl rolled her eyes. "Over there." "What's up with her?" I shook my head. "I' handling it." He nodded.

Later on that night
Everyone was huddled around me and the next thing I know I'm being blind folded. "Hey!" "Sssh. Give your parent them babies." Nana said. She grabbed my hand lead me somewhere. "Where are we going?" She chuckled. "Just keep walking." I was growing more and more nervous by the minute.
"Here sit down." She took the blindfold off and i looked to see we were sitting in the back yard with this huge screen in front of us. "Nana what is this?" "Hush up and watch." Evie and Claire came and sat in front of me. The video began to play.
It started off with me sitting in the car dancing to different songs.
"Oh my god." I said covering my face laughing. Everyone laughed along with me. Then the video switched to some of my snapchat videos. "Oh wow." I said smiling.
The video turned to one where we were goofing off in the car.
"Awww how cute." Erin said. My face turned a deep shade of red as i watched this old video. "Aww your face is red." Jas said laughing. "Shut up."
Several pictures of us with the kifs went by when an old video of Evie lying down popped onto the screen.
"Oh my poor little heart." My nana said. "Evie you know who that is?" She shook her head. "That's you." A huge smile appeared on her face. then Giovanni appeared on the screen. "We've had a rough couple of years, and yet we still managed to always come back to each other, and there's no one i would rather be marrying tomorrow than you." My eyes watered as I smiled then I realized what he said.
"Wait what? What did he say?" I said looking around. "You may be freaking out and wondering what I'm talking about, but for the past couple of weeks with the help of everyone we've managed to pull together your dream wedding."
My eyes widened. "What!?!?! Holy shit." I looked at everyone to see them all of them laughing. "By this time tomorrow hopefully you will officially be my wife. So go out and turn up but not too much." He said getting serious then laughing. "And I'll see you tomorrow. I love you baby girl." I was sitting there speechless before I looked at Erin and Jas. "You two knew about this." They nodded smiling. "Girl this was the hardest secret ever to keep," Erin said. "But now we're about to go change and go to this little spot and turn up," Jas said dancing. "Ayye lets go." My cousins said. We headed inside and went to change. "This is unbelievable," I said still in shock.
