Chapter 49 : Grand Entrance

September 13th, 9:30AM

"Is it normal to be this nervous about getting married, even though it's clearly everything I ever wanted?," I asked my mom, sipping on a cup of hot tea.

We were sitting in the middle of her living room flipping around through channels to find a show or movie we both could watch while eating a light breakfast.

My mom had invited me over to catch up on some quality time with her before officially becoming a new mom, she was rather persistent but I wasn't going to turn her down.

She stood onto her feet and placed a hand onto my shoulder, "Honey of course it's normal. It's a huge milestone and even though you two are already having a child marriage is still just another big step."

I nodded, "Yeah I guess you're right."

Grabbing a couple glass plates from a cabinet she continued, "Trust me I've seen it with my own eyes that man loves those babies to pieces and you, he's going to be an amazing husband to you. Is there anything you worried about in particular?"

"Not really."

That came out drier and more obvious than expected. The truth is yes I was worried. I had the typical thoughts someone in my shoes or even looking in from the outside might have, was it all too fast? Too quick?

"Mm. Spill it. I'm not here to judge ya baby girl."

She was my mother of course she knew when I wasn't exactly being forward.

I rubbed my hand through a few of my braids, "I mean I just..I just don't want it to not workout. I don't want to lose him and this whole dream."

"You won't lose him honey, why would you even think that?," she asked.

I watched as she walked over with both of our plates which were filled with Belgian waffles, scrambled eggs, turkey bacon and fresh fruit.

"I mean I don't think I'll just lose him I guess it's just the fear. Did it all happen too quickly? I mean I know it did obviously but will that be our downfall is what's on my mind."

She handed me my plate and walked back over to the kitchen to grab something for us to drink, "It's okay to have that kind of question but baby god don't make mistakes. Look at me and you who would've thought we would be here right now rebuilding our relationship so strongly. That's nothing but god. You and Deion both deserve every piece of happiness that is a gift don't question it."

She was right, I sighed in relief, "You're right. Thank you mom."

After returning to the living room with fresh glasses of orange juice my mother and I continued talking for another hour or so.

It genuinely healed a huge part of me, having my mother back in my life and in such a positive light. That was something I'd only ever dreamed of.

11:15am

"Okay so I might've underestimated this sun today," I announced, blatantly out of breath.

We were walking around my mother's neighborhood and the sun was starting to rear its head a bit too much for my liking.

Even though I expected myself to be delivering via C-Section I still thought it would be a good idea to get my walking in and prepare for birth, I had a few more days before I'd go in to be induced.
