Houston, Texas:

"Baby!" Will shouted over the music, they had been partying all night. She had got to know all of Will's family, his parents, aunts, uncles, cousins and his grandparents, some of his close friends from New York and a few of his friends he'd met in Houston.

"Yes Billy Goat?" She replied as she walked through the crowd finally getting to him. He had drank a lot and she was busy making sure he didn't trip over his own two feet. She was just happy to see him happy.

He placed his hand on her 6 month old belly, "I love you girl." He'd mumbled into her ear and she looked up at him.

"I love you." She says, he pulled his phone out pausing the music. He sat his beer down on the table kneeling down on one knee, "Billy Goat what are you doin?" She mumbled as everybody gathered around watching him pull out a black box opening it revealing an engagement ring.

"I know we just met at the beginning of this year, but I knew you were the one the moment you caught my attention. When we broke up, I was miserable. I woke up everyday those 60 days we were apart just hoping I would at least get a text from you. I was just happy to see you at games, I still couldn't move on. I was gonna wait however long it took for you to come back because I love you Justice. You're it for me baby, I grew and continue to grow as a man now that you're in my life. I'm not proposing because you're pregnant, honestly I would've proposed a long time ago. I'm proposing because I listened. From the very first day we met, you've always said what made you happy. I've never paid attention to a woman like that, I heard you when you said you just wanted someone to love you just as much as you love them. I just wanted to make sure I could be the man you said you wanted, and when I went without you? I realized I would rather be the man you want me to be than to be the man without you. So Justice, will you marry me?" He asked

"Yeah mama!" Amari shouted making her smile as she stared down at Will.

"You know I'll marry you; you didn't even have to ask." She replied making everybody laugh as he slid he ring on her finger. He stood up, he took her face in between his hands as their lips connected. She grabbed his shirt pulling him closer as their lips moved in sync.

"Alright don't do allat she already pregnant." Amari said interrupting them before it could get any further.

"Sooooo who gone be the maid of honor?" Angelica asked Justice.

"Me." Alizé said raising her hand.

"Uh no me." Shawna spoke up.

"I'm delivering the damn baby it's gone be me." Nyla interjected

"Holdup cause I get a say so too."'Angelica added and they all started going back and forth, she chuckled wrapping her arms around Will's neck.

"You wanna marry me?" She mumbled against his lips.

"I wanna spend the rest of my life with you, don't ever leave me again."

"I'm not goin nowhere." He picked her up and she wrapped her legs around his waist, "Where you taking me?"

"To the bedroom." He replied making her smile

"Uhm no she ain't opened no gifts, ate no food, her ass been talkin to everybody and she gotta tell us who gone be what in the wedding." Shawna said and Will sighed. "Put my friend down nigga y'all gone have all night!" Will leaned down placing a kiss on her stomach before he put her back down.
