What Brought Us Together

The Dearest Moments.

It was a joy to have Mama Senada back home safe. When they watch her walk out of the prison, Ephraim was the first one to run up to her and pick her up. Mama Senada wasn't expecting that but she let Ephraim do what he do. They remained in an embrace for what seemed like forever and she was just enjoying the embrace; finally able to touch her son after almost 16 years.

Tarryn could barely get a hug in because for one, her belly wouldn't allow her too, and two, Ephraim wouldn't let his mother go. No hard feelings because Tarryn was the main one taking pictures of them. Because his mother was now there, Tarryn moved to the backseat and allowed her to sit in the front. Though her back was on fire, she let her sit in the front with Ephraim.

That whole ride, Ephraim called everyone in his contacts. He called Uncle Tevin first and for the first 30 minutes he cried and chopped it up with his best friend. He then calls Aunt Glory and Mama Senada and Aunt Glory stayed on the phone the entire time. When they arrived home, Mama Senada asked if she could spend the night with Uncle Tevin and Ephraim wasn't having it.

Truthfully, she didn't want to stay at their house because she didn't want to intrude on anything. Ephraim and Tarryn were married and they were going to do married people things, plus, she wanted to see her sister in person. Ephraim begged her to stay with them, and though he didn't consult with Tarryn, he knew that she wouldn't mind. While they went back and forth outside, Tarryn makes her way into the house and goes directly up to Lotus' nursery. His nursery was the only place she found peace.

Mama Senada had her way and she was staying with her sister. Ephraim was mad about it but he just had to deal with that. He wanted his mother close as possible. He wanted his mother around. He went upstairs and kissed Tarryn on the forehead and told her that he'd be right back. While he was out, he grabbed Aunt Glory and together they went to various places. He already made an account for her and so all he needed to do was get a debit card and he did that. Tarryn and Ephraim started her off with $20,000 but she didn't know that. After that, he got her situated with clothes, shoes, and anything that she might need. He also got her an iPhone so he can FaceTime her whenever.

Aunt Glory owns a small hair salon and she needs people, so of course her sister can work at the salon with her. Before Mama Senada went to jail, she used to do hair. While Aunt Glory did the silk presses, weaves, and perms, Mama Senada did the braids, cornrows, and coloring. They were a good team, and Aunt Glory need a seasoned braider in her shop. So her getting a job is covered.

When her money, living situation, and belongings were done, he dreadfully dropped her off at Aunt Glory house. That was hell for him because he felt like his mother was leaving again and he hated to feel that way. His mother fully got her freedom and she wanted to enjoy it but Ephraim didn't want to hover. He wanted her to be free.

It was now the next week and it was go time. Tarryn was scheduled to have her C-section.

Everyone was here and everyone was in place. Mama Carryn, Mama Senada, and Aunt Glory. Virtue and Exon were outside of the room. They were waiting for Tarryn to bring them in and just when they thought that she wasn't going to call them, she did.

Exon allowed Virtue to go first. Walking into her hospital room, Tarryn wears a relaxed look on her face while Ephraim looked like he's about to shit his pants. The mothers stand on the perimeter of the bed while Aunt Glory stands behind Ephraim just in case if he felt faint, again.

"I called you in here because I wanted to formerly tell you that you two are the Godparents of Lotus," Ephraim said in a calm voice.
