The Birth of Wisdom

Epilogue - 4 years later

Azure . . .

Its been 4 years since everything happened, & tomorrow is the day the judge will sentence Rico, Jr, Kennard, and Khadarious. After going through intense therapy I was able to find my peace of mind once again. It took me almost an entire year to get completely back to normal, but through it all Jermaine kept his promise, and stayed right by my side. It wasn't an easy road, I developed panic attacks & had plenty of sleepless nights, but my baby supported me and did whatever he could to help make me feel better! Jermaine and I have been happily married for two years now. My salon is one of the top salons in the state, hell maybe even the country! The first floor is equipped with a 20 hair salon chairs, 20 nail technicians, and a cafe. The second floor has a boutique, body waxing, and a good court. The third floor is a full spa to the left and an employee lounge on the right hand side. I am currently 4 months pregnant and the kids are more excited than I am sometimes, it's cute. We've discussed it and we don't care the sex, as long as our bundle of joy is healthy, we're good! Where I am today, a wife, mother to three amazing children, and business owner, I would've never guessed my life turning out this way. To say that I am blessed, would be an understatement. I am happy I was foolish and became a teenage parent, I am thankful for the struggles I had to go through, I am forever grateful and thankful to God for taking his time creating my husband, and sending him right on time! I remember a saying Jermaine told me years ago, "Pain Is the Birth Of Wisdom" and after everything Kennard, Rico, & Jr put me through, I realize just how true that statement really is. Without the pain I had to go through, I wouldn't be the strong woman I am today, I wouldn't appreciate the REAL man that I now call my husband, and I wouldn't understand he much of a blessing another day truly is! My pain, my abuse, my heart ache, my loss, my struggles had a bigger purpose!

Jermaine . . .

Never in a million years would I think my life would be this amazing. I never thought I'd find true happiness, never thought I'd get married, I just thought it would be me and my baby girl against the world forever. That was until I laid eyes on Azure and fell madly in love with her. I love everything about that woman, even the things I don't understand. I know nobody's perfect, but in my eyes, she's perfect, perfect for me! Six months after she got home I finally showed her our home I bought and her salon and she loved everything! Right now her business is doing amazing, and since my father retired, I have taken over the company. Azure and my kids get whatever their little hearts desire. To be honest I make enough in one month to support all of use for 6-8 years, but I wouldn't dare tell my wife quit something she loves. The day that we got married Azure presented me with documents during her vows, I got nervous as hell, I can't lie, like how you divorcing me already?! Lol. But, what she said next broke me man, I swear I cried like a little girl. She presented me with documents to legally adopt Amarion and change his last name to mines. It was the most beautiful thing, he even said a few world's about me not being his "step dad" but that I was his father, the one he had been waiting for. As if that wasn't enough, Azure then proceeded to read her vows to Jermainey promising to always be there for her as a mother and friend. Aside from having my daughter, marrying Azure was the best day of my life! The only drama I've had in my life was a little over a year ago when my father stepped down, I had a photo-shoot with Azure and the kids announcing me taking over. All three of us were on ever magazine & every new stand. That's when my "baby momma"  popped up causing some bull shit, trying to tell tabloids I took our child from her. It was nothing though, cause her drugged up ass forgot that she signed over her parental rights to me. She died of an overdose about 2 months ago and out of respect, I paid for her funeral in full. I got her mom a new house closer to the city and the kids go and spend the night with her sometimes, she adores Amarion, and can't wait till Azure has our new family addition in a five months. As corny as it sounds, I couldn't imagine life without Azure as my wife, and with her & my kids by my side, anything is possibly!
