A faded memory {Completed}

Chapter 3: A love like this

"It's a girl! I'm having another baby girl!" She jumped excitedly in my arms. This was the day we got our families together and we all waited anxiously for the gender. It was so beautiful seeing her happy and myself as a better man. Every step along in this pregnancy I was there for her every need. From mood swings, cravings, and being up all night because she couldn't sleep. Not to mention Chasity was a handful! You couldn't get her to sit still for nothing in the world.

It became even harder to manage two demanding kids once Nyla was born. Chasity runs around the house like a headless chicken and Nyla demanded to be held at all times. You couldn't put her down and I blame Mal. She wouldn't put her down unless she needed to.

"Ok, Mama is gone. So, that means you are going to lay down in your swing." Nyla screamed at the top of her lung wanting to be picked up. I looked down at Chasity picking her up so I could change her diaper.
"I don't know what's in that food, but clearly your tummy doesn't like it. You poop like a grown man."

Once I finished with Chasity, I picked up Nyla gently patting her back calming her body down. "Daddy is Right here, I got you."

I looked around at my house and it was a mess. Toys, food, blankets, and pillows all over the house.
"You wanna sit with me? Come on." I scooped her up and she laid on my chest. Nyla laid fast asleep on one side and Chasity on the other. I snuggled the two of them in my arms protectively. My beautiful girls. I would climb mountains for them.

Because their happiness meant everything.

"Why wouldn't you want to put a gate around the pool? It's about our children safety."
"Why would we even bring our kids out here? The front yard is for the kids. So, it doesn't matter."
"Roman, put a gate around this pool because if anything happens to my girls at any given time no matter the age, I will never forgive you."
"I will never let that happen."
"Roman, you are not going to be able to watch these girls 24/7. When they get older and they may sneak off without us knowing-" she took a deep breathe shaking her head. "Anything can happen when we are not looking. All it takes is a split second."
"Ok, I will have somebody come out and put a gate around the pool."
"I don't even know why you tried to argue with me over this. I don't care if it looks tacky, it's about the protection of our kids."
"I said I will get it done." I kissed her lips while she just rolled her eyes at me.
"Thank you."

I grabbed the belt loop on her pants stopping her mid way. "Where you think you're going? Kids are sleep, monitors on, which means it's our time." I smiled.
"Hmm.." She smirked.
"Girl, get over here." We both laughed as I picked her up throwing her body over my shoulder.
"Let's go make another baby!"
"Thank god I tied my tubes."

Sometimes during our relationship, we got into small arguments over dumb things. But, our love for each other always smothered the air. We practiced making babies all the time!
The most rewarding part of sex wasn't just pleasure, it was how I was able to make sure I showed her that it was more than just sex. The connection was pure soul and love. Sex was just part of what we wanted from time to time. Because our true intimacy was our chemistry. It started off rough, but I'm happy our relationship took a turn for the better.

"We finished just in time.." she grabbed my ass making me jump. "Stop doing that! I only do that to you."
"Hush and change that diaper."
"I'm so glad I got you pregnant."
"I bet you are...you wanted me to be your baby mama."
"I sure did, now you get baby daddy drama 7 days a week."

Laughter filled the air as I cuddled all my girls in my arms.
"I wouldn't have it any other way. Baby mama got an nice ass and we make cute babies."
"Wow so deep, I felt that in my soul." She laughed.
"You gonna give me a son now?"
"Nope! I'm done!"
"We make cute babies! Give me a boy."
"You are so demanding for a baby daddy."
"Baby Mama, baby daddy, how about my wife?"

It was quite.

Nothing else was said.

But of course I have to say something because I like small talk, so I said-

"You know you're my baby girl. Not just my baby mama. We have a beautiful little family and the only thing missing is my last name attached to yours. Remember, no string attached anywhere else but to you. My daughter has my last name and I want you to have it too. Chasity, I love her dearly. She may not be mines, but I'll be the father she need when I'm around. Marry me Mal...all you have to do is say yes and any ring you want is yours."

She leaned up looking at me as she held Nyla in her arms.
"Are you serious?"
"Mal, you had my first daughter...If you don't think I'd marry you then you are wrong. Just say it and I'll make your dream wedding come true."

She laid Nyla gently on my chest since I was laying down. Chasity was in our bed watching tv.

"If you are serious, then where's the ring?"
"I don't have a ring."
"Is that just high sex talk or are you for real?" Her eyes watered up as she looked at me.
I pulled her close to me holding her waist, "I'm for real. I may not have a ring right now, but you can expect one soon because Mal I love you."
"Oh Roman! As much as you get on my nerves how can I say no to good dick?"
"I'm trying to be serious and that's all you think of about me? Good dick?"
"Roman, I was playing around. Calm down baby." She chuckled grabbing my hand as she kissed my lips.

I was a little upset because I didn't find this to be a joke at all.

"Roman, I'm sorry...I didn't mean to make you upset I was just joking."
"Mal...Just watch tv." I was irritated at this point. I poured my heart out thinking this could be something we could look for in the future. Being more than just parents, girlfriend and boyfriend, but an actually family. A woman I could call my wife proudly and say I had an family.
