I straighten my sparkly white dress, staring at myself in the mirror. 

A bit loose on my figure but fits nicely on my arms for it being long sleeves. I shrug.

Usually the bride is the only one that should wear white but she insisted I wore white as well.. 

Michael whistles behind me.

I gasp, turning around, suddenly smiling at him. "You scared me!" I chuckle.

Michael smiles at me, "You look beautiful." He says, taking my hand as he gently spins me around.

I blush, "You look really handsome yourself." I smirk, staring at his suit.

It shines nicely.. Black and white, the pattern... Wow.. 

"We seem to match today." I smirk.

Michael chuckles, kissing my lips. "When do we not?" He smiles.

I grin. 

"Everyone is ready for the ceremony to begin. The girls are seated with Elizabeth's son, Michael." Michael says.

I gulp. It seems everyone has the name Michael. My husband, Elizabeth's son, my son.. 

Oh god, how I miss him.. His little Afro, smile, his giggle.. He was so innocent and he was just t-

"Are you alright, Mia?" Michael softly asks.

"Hm?" I glance up at him as he catches my attention.

Michael raises an eyebrow, waiting for my response.

"Oh, um.. I'm fine." I grin.

"A little tired but I'm fine." I say.

Michael stares at me, "Alright.." He mumbles.

He can easily see through how I feel. He's been able to do that most of my life. I thank him for not always bugging me about what is really wrong. I'll end up telling him eventually.

I can't tell him I miss Mike though.. It's going to make me overly depressed and I have two girls, I just..Can't exactly deal with this right now. 

Who can even deal with a death to begin with? 

Michael holds his arm out to me. "Shall we?" He grins.

I link arms with his. I smile up at him, "We shall."

I take my seat in the first row, right next to my girls.

Rose smiles widely at me, "You look pretty, mama." She says, scooting next to me.

I grab April, setting her on my lap as she grins at me.

"You both look pretty too." I smile.

Rose blushes, holding onto Afia.

I swear, she hasn't let Afia go since she got home from Africa. Every night I hear a new story from the girls and once it was all about Afia.

Honestly wish I could've met the beautiful girl they keep talking about. 

"Baby, are you excited that Liz is getting married?" I smile at Rose.

Rose probably will remember Elizabeth. Elizabeth has been around Rose so many times.. April.. Not so much. 

Rose nods, "Yes, mama. Have you seen her? She looks so pretty." Rose says in awe.
