Zac was so emotional.

"Y'all these are happy tears." He tried to convince the guest. "To my wife, damn girl I love you. I thought marrying you and having my daughter made my life complete. But this is the icing on the cake."

Zac had a Fatima crying. Seeing him this happy made her happy. "Honey, you are a great father to Journee so I'm glad you got your Junior. If anyone deserves this, it's you."

"Alright now, cut this out. Y'all act like y'all just got married again." Madam joked.

"Oh hush," Fatima said.

3 months had come and gone, and Fatima had the baby.

Zac and Fatima welcomed a healthy baby boy weighing 6 lbs, 13 oz.

Welcome Zachary Amon Taylor, Jr.

The entire birthing went well. Since Fatima followed the doctor's orders and stayed on bed rest, everything went well.

Her Dad and Aunt Fran showed up as well as her friends and family in Atlanta. Of course, she didn't invite her mom.

Since both Andi and Lori are the Aunty/Godmother for Journee, her cousin Gia is the godmother for ZJ. She wanted to include her new cousin in her life. Gia will be down to see the baby later in the week.

Fatima and ZJ were able to go home within 24 hours.

While in the hospital Zac kept requesting that she call Ms. Pat, but she refused. She wasn't in the mood.

A few weeks later she decided to call her mom, but she didn't answer. At first, she was worried, but then she decided to call her God mother, Cora.

Cora said that Ms. Pat was doing fine and that she would have her to call her back.

The next day, she returned her call, furious that Fatima didn't tell her she was pregnant.

"Do you want to come see your grandkids or not?" asked Fatima.

"I'll be there Friday." she responded.

That day when she was headed to their house, she noticed it was empty.

"Oh, so you done moved?" She called snapping on Fatima.

"Yeah, I forgot to give you the new address."

Fatima sent it to her, and she arrived 20 minutes late.

"Hey mom." Fatima let her into the house.

"Fatima." she greeted.

"What's your problem?"

"Watch your mouth talking to me like that. Where is my grand baby?"

"I understand you are my mom, but you're in my house so please change your attitude."

Before she could respond back Zac entered the living room with ZJ.

"Aww he's so awesome." She held him and kissed him. "Where is my Journee?"

"In her room. She should be coming any minute." Zac answered.

Next thing you know, Patrick brought her in his arms.

"Mom? You came." Patrick said excitedly.
