Tionne- So exactly where are we going
Me- Not telling and no peeking
Tionne- I'm not peeking baby, just asking
Me- Ok, well just know we will be there soon, now just enjoy the ride my love
Tionne- Ok(baby voice)
So we drove for another 15 minutes until we reached our destination
Me- Ok my love, we are here, now wait for me to come help you out the car (parking the car and taking off our seatbelts)
I then got out and walked to her side of the car and opened the door grabbing her hand and helped her out the car and walked her over towards the surprise
Tionne-(Holding on tightly to me)Baby please don't let me fall
Me-(Giggles)I won't my love, I promise
As a matter of fact we are here so you can take it off now
Tionne-(Takes off the blindfold)Baby why are we here(looking at the house she and I just became owners of)
Me- Because your 4th surprise is inside (handing her the keys to unlock the door) so gone and go in
Tionne-(Takes the keys)Oh my goodness baby, ok, I'm excited to see what it is (unlocks and opens the door)
We walk inside and soon everyone jumped out and yelled surprise!
Tionne-(Holds her chest) Oh wow! Hey everybody!(Looks back at me)Uh baby what is this
Me-(Grabs her hand)This my love is that life changing thing I was just speaking of, now come over here and sit down(taking her into the living area and over to the new couch that I ordered, along with the rest of the living room furniture, and having her to sit down)
Our new home was fully furnished and complete and ready for us to move right into
Which is what this party was for,
It was our house warming party, as well as Ro's and Ruben's who was moving in with us
Tionne-(Sitting down and looking around) Baby what's going on and how is the house already furnished and why is everyone here(gets the idea)Oh my goodness(jumps up)Baby this is our housewarming party isn't it
Me-(Smiles big and laughs)Yes baby this is our housewarming party(stands up and grabs both her hands)welcome to our new home baby, we are officially moved in today
Tionne- Wait, so is that why my clothes and stuff kept disappearing
Me- Yes my love, and I wanted to surprise you, so now tell me how you feel and what you think
Tionne- Hmmmm, why don't I just show you(grabs me by the waist wrapping her arms fully around me as I wrap my arms around her neck and deeply kisses me)
Ro-(Walk in from the kitchen)Ok lovebirds, that's enough of that(pulling us apart)it will be plenty of time for that later,
Now Za are you ready to give her the last big surprise
Me-(Smiles big)Yes I am, now who got the tissues for me
Mom- I do babygirl, here you go(hands me the box of Kleenexs)
Me- Thanks mom, ok baby(turns to Tionne) your going to need these and you might want to sit for this one
Tionne- Za what you about to do(taking the box of Kleenex and sitting down)
Me- Well remember on one of our date nights you was really missing your mom and said you wished you could somehow see her again one day
Tionne- Yes
Me- We direct your eyes to the screen my love because it's someone you love who left you something
Tionne- Left me what
Me- Shh, just watch(sitting down right next to her,pulling her on my lap)
So a video of her mom played
It started off by her quoting one of Tionne's favorite poems that Tionne actually won a talent show from doing the poem as she laid in hee hospital bed
I knew already that as soon as she seen her mom's face that the tears would start flowing which is why I actually sat her on my lap so I could hug and hold her tight as she watched the video
Her mom started doing these video diaries from her first hospital stay all the way up until her last day alive
She put in a bunch of memories with her and Tionne, and Tionne's brother which made made Tionne cry a little harder but was still under control
And at the end of the video she tells Tionne where to find her daughter Chase and how she's been staying in contact with the foster parents and Chase and how Chase been asking about her and wants to meet Tionne which put Tionne in an emotional crying state
After the video was done everyone just waited until Tionne was able to collect herself in which she did and looked right up at me,which I wiped a couple of tears that was still falling
Tionne-(With some tears still falling)
Baby how were you able to find this, and how long was she recording all of this
Mom- Well actually Tionne sweetie, your dad and I have kept in touch with your mom even after you moved in with us and we would go meet her and she would ask for us to record her
Tionne-(Gets up and hugs our parents)
I love yall so much, thank you
Mom&Dad- We love you too baby
Me-(Wiping my own eyes) Well should we finish with the surprise
Mom&Dad- Yes
Me- Ok baby come sit back down for me because it's one last piece to this surprise
Tionne- Oh goodness, you trying to have me being a crying mess huh baby
Me-(Kisses her lips)Never that my love, but I did tell you it was going to be life changing didn't I
Tionne-(Smiles at me)Yes you did my love, and ok, I'm ready(wiping her eyes)
Me- Ok Ro, bring the surprise out
Ro then walks in the living room hand in hand with Chase who was already crying and wasted no time running over to and jumping on and hugging Tionne
Both Tionne and Chase were in full blown tears hugging each other tight
In which it brought all of us to tears
Chase- Mommy it's really you(still crying)
Tionne- Yes baby it's really me, oh my goodness Chase I can't believe your here (still crying and hugging Chase)
Chase- I missed you so much mommy,
I always wondered where you were and if you would ever find me, and come to get me, grandma and my other mom always kept telling me that you would
Tionne- Oh Chase, I missed you too baby
And yes grandma and your other mom was right
I always planned on finding you and bringing you back home with me(looks up at me)Baby how did you even find her
Me- Well actually baby, your mom kept in contact with the parents and always knew where she was, in which after she moved into that condo she wrote my mom a letter giving her all the information and it turns out that they never actually adopted her, they put down temporary guardians because they knew it was against your will and didn't feel right actually taking your child from you
And so when mom called and asked about getting her, they said yes and signed everything back over to you(handing her the paperwork)so your still officially her only mother
Tionne-(Taking the papers and reading them)Oh my goodness(cries a bit harder)
Chase-(Hugs Tionne tighter)I love you so much mommy
Tionne- Oh I love you too baby, wow, let me look at you(pulls out of their hug, wiping her eyes, then Chase,looking her all over) Wow! Your absolutely beautiful and look exactly like me
Me- And that is why you will be able to keep looking at that face because she's permanently home now
Tionne-(Shocked) What!
Me- Yes baby, She's going to be living here with us
Tionne- Really baby
Me- Yes, We get to raise this beautiful little girl together
Tionne-Oh wow, I really got my daughter back(grabs and hugs Chase again)Oh my goodness, thank you God, thank you mom and dad,and baby thank you(starts crying again)
We all then huddled around them and did a big group hug
Me- (Collecting myself)Well Chase sweetie, would you like to show mommy your room
Chase-(Smiles big)Yes, come on mommy (pulls Tionne by the hand)
Tionne then got up and followed Chase to her room which was all princess themed
