Everybody is at the Fatima and Zac's, they decided to have a small gathering in support for Aisha. They just want her to be surrounded by love and the ones she care about. They just finished cooking and everyone just arrived. But they were being as quiet as they could because Aisha is in the other room and they wanted to surprise her. So Fatima went to tell her that dinner was done.
Fatima: Hey sis just coming to check on you. How are you feeling?
Aisha: Hey sis, I'm feeling okay. I had my moments were I'm in and out, but I'm pressing through.
Fatima: Well what can I do to make it better?
Aisha: Honest just you being who you are and have been is good enough.
Fatima: You hungry?
Aisha: Yes,
Fatima: Well dinner is ready if you wanna come eat.
Aisha: Okay.
They got up and walked out the room into the front room.
Everybody: SURPRISEEEEE!!!
Aisha starts to cry.
Fatima: Awww sis don't cry. You've been dealing with a lot lately and I just wanted to surprise you with everybody that loves and cares about you. I knew that right now you need to be surrounded by family so I got everybody together.
Aisha: Thank you so much sis.
Fatima: You don't have to thank me. I told you that I got you, and we're going to get through this. We are a village and when one hurt, we all hurt. So tonight we're just going to love on each other and just enjoy one another.
Aisha: Wow, I love y'all.
Fatima: We love you more babe.
Anita: Aisha you're my daughter and I want to see you back to yourself. And I will do whatever it takes to get you there.
Aisha just breaks down on her mother's shoulder. And her dad embraced her. In fact everybody joined in embracing and loving on her. 10 mins went by.
Fatima: So we're first going to take a moment of silence to pray, then continue the night out just loving on each other. How does that sounds?
Everybody: Good!!
They joined hands and prayed. Then spent the night conversing with each other

Fatima: Ang, you know Aisha has always been my baby. And I just hate seeing her in this place.
Angela: How've see been?
Fatima: She's a lot better than she was.
Angela: That's good.
Fatima: It's a journey but she's going to come out stronger in the end.
Angela: Ofc she will, She's got you.
Fatima: And always will.
They ate, talked, cried, laughed, and just enjoyed one another.
Fatima: I want us to go around and just say something, it doesn't matter what it is, just speak from your heart.
Aisha: Can I go first?
Fatima: Sure.
Aisha: Okay so, tonight was something that I really needed. And the fact that you all put aside time and came out for me means more to me than you'll ever know. Each of you are something special and y'all mean so much to me. Sis, you have always been my strength in any and everything that I've faced in life. And I know that you yourself have dealt with been through, and even growing through a lot in life. And if I don't say it enough, I'm so thankful for you and we're all blessed to have someone like you in our lives. Someone to keep us aware and grounded even in your own adversity. You are more than appreciated, I love you forever. And I can't wait for this lil princess to met her auntie/Godmommy.
Fatima: OMG!! Wait, it's a girl?
Aisha: Yes, I'm having a girl. I wasn't keeping it a secret, I was just waiting on the right moment. And I believe this moment deserves it.
Everybody congratulated her
Fatima: Aisha, you've always been my baby, and we've had many heart to heart conversations with each other so you know what it is. I'm so proud of you for realizing that you weren't okay and actually taking the steps necessary to get the help you needed to get back to you. That's bold and beautiful because so many people don't do it, until it's too late. And Faith, thank you for actually working with her and really taking her underneath your wings and giving her that safe space to be openly free with her truth. And that's why I asked you to help her, because you're good at what you do and you never judge. You give everyone the opportunity to speak their truth and find a way to help them through. So thank you sis.
Faith: Ti, When you first walk into my office looking for help, I must say that you were hella stubborn, and it was so hard to get you to open up, But you were also full of life. And I told you that one day you're going to change the world, and truth of the matter was, you had already done that. Ti, you're really are something special. You're, strong, dedicated, vibrant, loving, caring, understanding, and so much more. If it wasn't for you I wouldn't have found my sister. These past weeks, you've become more than a client, you've become more like a sister to me. And Aisha, Fatima's definitely your twin soul, because you act just like her. You're beautiful and have so much life inside of you that you have yet to live. But you my love have to start living and stop be afraid of the what if's. Doing that you want get nowhere in life. I want you to learn to meet yourself at you worse, so you can learn to appreciate yourself at your best. And Andi, I'm so thankful for the time that we've spent getting to know each other. I've learned that we actually have so many similarities. I'm grateful for you sis and I can't wait to see what this next chapter in our lives take us.
Andi: Faith, I'm grateful that we've met and that we share a lot of similarities. These last couple weeks has really been a high for me. God has his way of bringing people into your life at the right time. And I'm so honored to have each of you. Especially you Ti, because you have been the glue that has been holding all of us together. You're so strong and I don't think that you are even aware of your own strength. Since the day I've met you, you have been going, going , and going. I mean I've been taking on so much that I don't even see how you're still standing as strong as you are. It's powerful and so inspiring to watch. God has his hands on you sister, and I love you for life.
Fatima: I love all of you and I'm so thankful for each of you. And this is a moment that I not only put together for Aisha, but for us all. Because sometimes we all need a moment of reflection and just safeness. Safe to be honest, open, and vulnerable with each other. So that's what we're going to spend the rest of tonight continuing doing, loving on each other.
And that's what they did. Spent the rest of the night together as a family.
