***Two years later***
As I sit at my desk looking over a few contracts, my mind drifts and I reflect on all the things that have transpired within the last two years. Darah and Issac welcomed a baby girl and both of their parents have moved here which was a huge help for them. LaShae and Sean had another boy and he was born a day after Darah and Issac's baby.
Dre and I have continued to take a month long vacation with our little man. Now three years old, he's grown so much and is very smart. Dre is finally comfortable with AJ going to daycare which of course isn't an ordinary daycare. They teach sign language, foreign languages , and they follow a math and English curriculum. It amazes me how much he's learned and retains.
I've also bought out two more investors, now only the ghost investor remains. I've been able to pay myself a lucrative salary in which I invest in stocks as well as established my 401K. Dre and I have also set up a savings account for AJ.
My marriage is still going well. We love each other and don't hesitate to say it and show it. Me and my crew continue to show our support to Dre by going to the home football games. Little man loves going out on the field after the game to throw the ball back and forth with his daddy. I've even traveled to a few away games.
Jaxon has been traveling here a lot due to my company's partnership with Northrup Grumman, so he purchased a house in Fort Worth. I was so excited when my boy BFF said he was purchasing a house here. He's helped me so much and I have to give him credit along with all of my employees for the success of TDL Logics.
With all the positive things that have happened, we were beyond ecstatic to find out I'm pregnant and having twins. A boy and a girl to be exact. I'm due to deliver in five weeks. Trying to eat enough with these two has been a struggle, but I've learned to meal prep and that has helped me stay on track.
Just like with AJ, family and friends have gone overboard with buying for the twins. A knock on my office door brings me back to the present."Come in." It was Jaxon. He walked in with a few more contracts that he and I were going to look over.
"Hey baby girl. Aren't you supposed to be working half days now? Darah and I can handle these contracts. You need to rest."
He's never stopped being concerned about me.
"I'm going home after we finish the contracts you have if that's ok with you?"
He laughed at my sassiness. "Is Dre already waiting on you, or do you need to call him before we get started?"
I told him I drove myself because Dre said he had several errands to run for his business with Ben. Jaxon offered to take me home, but I told him being pregnant doesn't affect my driving. We laughed and got right to business.
Right before we were finishing up, I got a call on my cell phone. It wasn't a number that I recognized, but I answered anyway. What the person had to say on the other end was gut wrenching. I just couldn't believe what I was hearing. I ended the call feeling like someone had reached through the phone and ripped my heart right out of my chest.
Trying my best to keep calm around Jaxon, I told him that something had come up and I needed to leave. I grabbed my purse and jumped from my chair. Jaxon jumped up too and asked me what had happened. I didn't want to tell him what I was told. I needed to see with my own eyes and I needed to be alone.
"Tahleea I'll take you wherever you need to go. Please don't leave like this. I know something has happened. You don't have to talk about it, just let me drive you."
Just in case what I was told is true, I didn't want Jaxon in the middle. I told him I could handle it and I'd see him tomorrow. His eyes pleaded with me. I know he saw the tears in mine, but I had to go on my own. I walked past him as fast as could.
Finally making it to the car, I took my cell phone out of my purse and called Dre. His phone rang several times before it went to voicemail. I put the address that I was given into the gps and made my way to the location. On the way I was praying this was all a misunderstanding and the person that called me had the wrong information.
I was trying to keep myself calm, but anger rose up. I started crying and hyperventilating. My stomach started cramping so I tried calming myself down. As I was nearing the area of my destination, I called Dre's phone once again. Just as he answered, I looked up to see we were passing one another. He wasn't expecting to see me judging the expression on his face. Before I could take in just what I saw, a loud horn noise was coming towards me. Then I heard the deafening sound of metal hitting metal. I could feel my car flip, and in that moment, I prayed to God to save my babies. Then everything went dark.
