Chapter Twelve
-With You At Last-
~~~~~~~~
:: 6 Months Later, November 3rd ::
(Dyme's Pov)

I yawned in his face by accident, I knew he had to smell that morning breath but damn sleeping was so good. I could finally get some sleep since Warren didn't wake up in the middle of the nights anymore.

It's 6 months later since I met Jay's mom back in May. Me and Jay are..."together" in a sense but I just never gave him my answer to him putting a ring on it. But after kissing and almost sleeping with each other, I think it's safe to say that yes, we're together again finally.

Warren is now 7 months old and getting bigger by the day, looking like his daddy too. Des is getting big too however and is now potty trained after getting some help from Jay's mom.

James is good, he's now in the 7th grade and playing a lot more sports than he used to. And I also think he has a little girlfriend in school too. Malik already gave him the birds and the bees conversation, so let's just hope he stays the cute innocent little boy that he is.😣😩

I recovered finally and indeed went on to get my tubes tied. I recovered from that as well and now I'm feeling and looking back to my normal self. I went back to work and now spend some of my days at the nailery, and I'm even able to take Warren with me some days. I have the coolest job ever for that, and Warren definitely brings in the ladies. But I'm just so happy to be happy and working again.❤

Jay looked at me while I looked at him laying on the pillow. "Eww" I laughed, teasing him.

"Eww you and ya hot breath" he scrunched up his face.

"Yeah sorry about that, I couldn't hold it in any more. I'm a go brush my teeth though" I sat up from the bed to get myself together.

"Nooo, lay back down with me" he whined, and hugged me from behind.

He pulled me back down to lay on my side, covering me in kisses as his husky-ass crushed me into the pillows. "Jay come on--ya breath stankin' too" I laughed, pushing on his face.

"Soo, you still love me though" He nuzzled his head in the corner of my neck.

"I do.." I said softly.

"And I love you too" He lifted up to kiss me on the lips fully. "Happy birthday"

I blushed and smiled up at him. "Thank you..."

"What chu' wanna do today, you want some breakfast?"

"Hell yes, can you make the French toast again babe, I promise I won't hit you again.*laughs* I told you it was so good that you had to hit someone and you was the only one nearby"

"Yeah whatever, excuses excuses" he lifted up. "Any plans?"

"I wanna go to the beach, just you and me though...actually" I lifted up too.

"Dyme it's November....it's practically winter..."

"Nigga this is California! It's always hot, check the weather. It's gonna be 76 degrees with clear blue skies" I said in defense.

"Okay damn, bithday girl. I'm go get started on breakfast and wake the kids up. Can you get dress then and call my mom or Kehlani to watch them"

*

"Happy birthday mom-Mommy!" They said together, coming up to me as I stepped into the kitchen.

"Awww thank you, I love you guys" I said, giving both James and Desiree a kiss.

"Love you too mommy, how old are you?" Desiree looked up.

I chuckled lightly. "Mommy's twenty-five years old" I took her hand, bringing her over to Warren's highchair.

"Twenty-five? Wow that's a big number mommy, I thought you were um....10 years old"

"Ha.." Jay laughed from the kitchen.

"Heh, no baby...mommy's Twenty-five not ten. If I was ten, mommy would be like Ja Ja. I would be so short like a little baby like you" I tickled her belly, watching her laugh.

"Yeah cuz I'm a little little baby right"

"You're my baby" I pulled her into a hug kiss.

:: 2 hours later ::

Looking down at Warren on my lap as we drove carefully to Kehlani's house, I just could help to smile at my big baby. He's so big now👶😩😍

"You got eyelashes like you daddy" I talked in my baby voice to him, kissing his little fingers.

He smiled at me and showed his gums, then looked around as his father drove the car to a stop.

"Hey man, what chu' doing" Jay smiled at him, rubbing his stomach to see him just cracking up.

I opened the door and placed Warren on my back before grabbing his baby bag. Jay got out two and helped Des and James get out the car as well. I got to Kel's door first however and rung the door bell to her big house in the hills.

Seconds later she opened the door and gave me a hug before she took Warren immediately. "Ouu there go my chubby nephew, hey"

"Thanks for watching them for us, I think I'm a do it today finally"

She leaned in closer. "What we talked about? You got it with you right"

"Of course and-- So thank you for watching the kids Kehlani" I changed the subject once Jay and the kids rushed up.

"Hey Lan" Jay gave her a hug, right after she greeted Desiree and James.

"Hey popa bear" she chuckled. "Y'all go have fun now okay, I'll keep them occupied. We're going to have so much fun with auntie! We're going to eat ice cream, play games, listen to my new music, go swimming in the pool--"

"Okay, y'all have fun and be good. Give me kisses" I got down on my knees to kiss Des first then James then Warren in her arms.

"See you guys, have fun" Kehlani said, giving me a wink wink as I walked away.

"Babe take my picture and stop playing" I said, fixing my hair in the wind a second time and posed.

"I got it babe damn, picture perfect" He said, pulling the phone down to show me.

"Thanks with ya annoying self, letting my hair get fucked up"

"Heh these curls ain't going nowhere, chica"

"I ain't even Mexican" I said as we both started walking back to the shore.

"Yeah I know, you my black Dominican princess. But I'm glad you in this sun, you need some melanin in ya skin" he hugged around my neck.

"It's funny because you're just as light skinned as me"

"And...? I used to be darker but someone always want me to come in the house with them"

I laughed a little, knowing what he said was true. "Cuz you my baby again"

"Ouu you claiming me now, sike nah...don't even respond" he laughed.

"Mhm, but can we stop for a minute" I said, stopping from walking.

"Yeah, what's up?"

I grabbed his hands and looked away nervously. "Me and you been talking and dating for a long time, you know. It's been 8 months since you gave me that ring back in March and I still never gave you my answer. But not once did you hound me about it...., you gave me my space and just accepted it. But we've grown out of the hurt and the pain together. I can trust you now and I can finally say that that I love you without remembering the shit we went through. I appreciate your loyalty to our family...and to me, you're an amazing father to our kids and I couldn't have asked for anyone better. I guess what a girl is trying to say is that I love you, I wanna marry you and would you marry me?" I asked him, getting down one knee.

I patted myself down to get the ring out. It took me two minutes to finally figure out that I left the damn box with the ring I brought him in the damn car. Ugh😣😣😣😣 Really Diynara....

"Umm....I think my stupid-ass left the ring in the car *gets up*...wow that just killed the mome--"

Suddenly his hands grabbed on both sides of my face to pull me into a kiss from him up above. I closed my eyes in the moment, raising my hands up to his muscles as he kept a steady hold on me. Then the kiss grew softer and softer until he finally pulled away from me to create a smack in between us.

"You ain't ruin nothing, yes...I will definitely marry you" he smiled.

I smiled too and kissed his hands on my face still, just until he tilted my head for yet another passionate kiss. We stopped again and he picked me up in his arms like a bride already, swinging me around in a circle from being so excited. I laughed but surely held on to him for dear life, kissing him again once he stopped and carried us down to the shore that way.

We were getting married now...
