Fatima opens the door and what to her surprise.

Andi: Hey Fatima this is Karen.

Fatima: Hey Andi. And we've met. You're Zac's ex right?

Andi: Hold up, Zac's the guy you've been talking about?

Fatima: Yes!!

Andi: wowww!! Small world.

Fatima: Come on in.

Zac walks over.

Zac Baby you good?

Fatima: Yes baby I'm good.

Andi: Hey Zac

Zac: Hey Andi

Karen: Zac.

Zac: Karen.

Fatima: Y'all can come over in the front with everyone else.

They walked into the kitchen with everyone else.

Andi: Hey Danni, Hey Preston.

Danni: Hey Andi girl. And Karen

Karen: Danni.

Andi: Fatima this is a really beautiful house girl.

Fatima: Well thank you. Zac did a really good job.

Zac: Can I have everyone's attention?

Everybody faces him.

Zac: I just want to thank everyone for coming out to celebrate one of the biggest accomplishment I've ever made. Not only that but to celebrate Fatima and I engagement. Come up here real quick baby.

Fatima walks up to where Zac's at.

Zac: When I first met Fatima, I was lost trying to find myself. I wasn't looking for a way out, I was looking for a way through. Regardless of my past and downfalls , She saw me through. She never discredited me nor made me feel small. In fact she showed up for me and she showed me that I can be whatever I wanted to no matter what I'm faced with. She lifts me up and motivates me daily. She never talk down on me nor allow me to talk down on myself. And that's why I fell in love with her. Because she gives me a love that I never knew. Fatima I love you baby and I promise to love you for the rest of my life.

Both Zac and Fatima are crying.

Fatima: Baby I love you too. And I promise that I'll never give up on you.

They kissed.

James: I want to say something.

Fatima: go head dad.

James: When I first had a conversation with Zac. I was kind of skeptic about him. Because I know how much my daughter been through and I didn't want another guy coming into her life and break her. And when he told me that he wanted to marry her, I was on fence about it. But as he perceives to go into why he wanted to marry her. I knew that it was real. And standing in this room amidst all of you tonight. I've watched how he looks at her. I see how he care for her, and how protective and supportive he is of her. Making sure she's okay etc. I taught my daughters and sons to love a person at their core and to never allow a person to love them less then they love them. And what Zac and Fatima has is beautiful. And it's something that's missing in todays generation. Everybody wants love and happiness, but doesn't want to take the initiated steps to get there and stay there. Zac thank you for loving my daughter the way that you do. I see the love you have for her and the love she has for you. Never lose the light in that. Continue to grow and reinsure each other everyday of that love. I've been married to my wife which is Fatima's mother for 30+ years and we still date. So never forget why y'all fell in love with each.

Angela: I've been knowing Fatima for a while, and I've never seen her love anybody the way that she loves Zac nor have I seen anybody love her the way that Zac loves her. It's beautiful to watch and I can't wait to see what comes next of them. I love both of you and like Mr.Wilson said, continue to grow and date. Always remember why y'all fell in love and let no one come in between that love. Congratulations on everything and everything to come.

Zac: Thank you all and y'all can continue doing what y'all were doing.

Everybody's talking and having a good time. Karen walks up to Zac.

Karen: Zac can we talk?

Zac: Karen we have nothing to talk about. So no. Now can I get back to my wife.

Andi sees Karen about to make a fool of herself. So she walks up to her.

Andi: Karen it's time to go. Fatima I will see you at work Monday. And congratulations again to the both of you.

Fatima: thank you Andi.

Andi gets Karen and they walk outside.

Karen: how could he do this?

Andi: Karen you left him remember. I told you that this was going to happen. He cheated on you yes but never have he ever brought another female around to played in your face like You constantly played in his face with Aaron.

Karen: But Andi-

Andi: No buts I told you that if you love that man stay with him and if you don't then let him go. So you let him go and chose to be with Aaron. And now he's moved on. Fatima is a good woman. Don't make a fool of yourself trying to get him back because what y'all had is dead and gone. Stay with Aaron and be have with him.

Karen: Whatever Andi.

They leave and Andi drops Karen off at home. And Calls Fatima.

Fatima: Hello!

Andi: Hey Fatima I want to Apologize for bringing her without speaking with you first. Had I known that Zac was the guy that you were talking about, I would've never brought her into your home.

Fatima: Andi you have nothing to be sorry about. It's not your fault. I didn't tell you who the guy was so that's my bad. Nobody's at fault. Im glad you came tho and enjoyed yourself. I will talk to you Monday.

Andi: Okay Boo. And you have a great rest of your night.

Fatima: You as well.

They hang up.

Zac: Baby you good?

Fatima: Yes baby I am.

Zac: I love you.

Fatima: I love you too baby ( they kiss )

Danni: Well we about to head out. It was nice meeting you Fatima. And congratulations again.

Fatima: it was nice meeting you as well. Y'all be careful and drive safe.

Danni: talk to you later Zac.

Zac: okay Danni. You be good now. ( laughed )

Danni and Preston leaves.

Danni: They really look good together. Im happy for Zac, he deserves it. But Karen, she's not okay with it.

Preston: Why you say that? I think she'll be just fine.

Danni: You don't know Karen like I know her. And from the look on her face. She's definitely not over Zac.

Preston: Well Fatima looks like the type of female she doesn't want to try nor cross.

Danni: Oh I definitely know that.
