6 Months Later .....After months of therapy and some hard sessions, both individual and together. Zac and Fatima have developed an amazing friendship. They haven't yet gotten back together but they've been so far so good, disagreements here and there, but nothing major.
"Mommy, you have to tell me which ones you like so I can show daddy." Amir told her as they walked around the store.
"Okay, these ones for sure. I won't pick another pair." Fatima said, she had been changing her mind for the last 30 minutes and she knew her son was tired.
"Okay I'll take these ones please," he said handing the card to the lady and she gives him a strange look.
"Oh no, it's his dads card," Fatima chuckled and the lady smiled.
"You're a smart little guy, aren't you?" The lady bagged up Fatima's shoes and they headed out.
"Now we have to goto that store and find you a pretty dress to go with these, black, okay?" Amir told her.
"Why everything have to be black?" Fatima asked.
"Because daddy said he needs you to be in black and I have to make sure." Amir explained.
"Y'all send me to the mall and then giving me rules is unfair but whatever." They walked in the store and Fatima found the perfect dress. After getting her dress her and Amir stopped by the food court.
"So mommy, what do you have planned tonight?" Amir asked her.
"Mommy has to be with you and your sister, daddy has plans." Fatima told him.
"No daddy told me to see what you have planned" Amir tells her.
"Well he knows what I'll be doing , so eat your food and stay out my business." Fatima told him.
"Fine, you don't have to be mean. Can you call daddy?" He asked her.
"I'm not being me- you know what, yeah I'll call him." Fatima pressed Zac's name and handed the phone to Amir.
"Wassup T- oh hey man wassup? You good?Why does your face look like that?" Zac asked him.
"Mommy was being rude." Amir told him.
"Let me talk to her." Zac responded and he handed Fatima the phone.
"Hey, what's Amour doing?" Fatima asked Zac.
"She's right here, she's good" he turned the camera to her then back to himself. "But are you good? Is he getting on your nerve? You can drop him off with me and finish doing everything."
"I'm fine, I wasn't being rude, he's dramatic." Fatima explained. "I may drop him off before my hair and nail appointments though."
"Just stay right there and I'll come get him from you." Zac told her.
"Okay," Fatima says. They finish their food and Zac showed up to get Amir. Fatima got herself dolled up everything did. She still was clueless to why she was doing all this but she followed Zac's instructions.
"I'm home!" Fatima said entering the house but it was dead silent. She noticed rose petals and candles leading up to the kitchen and she followed where she was met with flowers and a note.
"Hey beautiful, Dinorah will be there at exactly 7:30 to pick you up. Make sure you're all dressed up and ready to go. Love your best friend, Zac"
"What is this man up to?" Fatima thought to herself. She went upstairs and showered, got all dressed up in the outfit she bought at the mall. By the time she finished it was 7:45 and Dinorah was downstairs waiting on her.
"You know it's rude to leave a pregnant woman waiting, right?" Dinorah chuckled.
"15 minutes won't hurt, I left you snacks out at least." Fatima laughs. "You like?" She did a 360 spin.
"You look amazing!" Dinorah smiled. "But I thought he said for you to wear black?"
"Yeah but you know I love red and this dress was so cute I just had to." Fatima said, "you think he'll be mad?"
"Girl no, plus I've saw his outfit so you're good." Dinorah chuckles. "It'll match."
"Good, because I wasn't about to change anyways." Fatima grabbed her purse. "Let's go."
After about 35 minutes they arrived at the center. Fatima was confused as to why she was so dressed up just to come here. But she didn't complain she just followed Dinorah's lead.
"For you," Amir said at the door handing her a rose.
"Thank you son," Fatima smiled, accepting it. He held the door open for her and the view shocked her. It didn't even look the same inside. It was decorated so nice, you would never know what it was on a regular day. As she walked all the kids stood on the sides passing her roses. Her smile was big from ear to ear. When she got to the end of the walk way Zac was standing there tears forming watching how beautiful she was.
"Zaac" she smiled, "this is beautiful." Fatima was caught my a shock because she finally read the sign behind him.
Will you marry me?
Zac got down on one knee and Fatima immediately was in tears. "SAY YES MOMMY!" Amir said and everybody bust out laughing.
"Fatima, I know that things for us wasn't always the best. We've been through a whole lot in this time and through it all you've never given up on me. You helped me take the proper steps to healing and growing. I know that I'm not fully there yet but I know that you and them kids mean the world to me." Zac started to choke on his words because he was already crying. "In this very building, the moment I laid eyes on you was the moment I knew live was real, it existed. I've never felt this way about anyone else and I know for a fact I never will. You are literally the woman I want to spend to rest of my life with, so would you do me the honor of being my wife?"
"A THOUSAND TIMES YES!!!!" Fatima was so excited she damn near knocked Zac down hugging him. She was proud of the progress Zac was making and although it wasn't perfect yet, she thought it was worth it.

"Are you okay?" Fatima asked Zac as they laid in bed reading all the bullshit.
"I'm good, you okay?" He asked her.
"No," she hurried her face in his chest.
"What's wrong?" He asked her.
"Because I know you're not really okay and I'm sorry that you get this backlash." She rubbed his beard. "I see your growth and I don't care who doesn't, okay?"
"I love you," Zac kissed her forehead.
"I love you too daddy," she smiled.
