Terminal 1

All in a Day

The next day...
Air Force Base

"I can't find..." "It's right here Cupcake, nah calm down." Big Ma said, shaking her head. Placing a necklace on her neck.

"Girl. I don't know why you're so nervous." "Because," Fatima breathed out.

"Are you having second thoughts Pooh?!" Latrice asked with a strange look on her face, "No, I just."

"Fatima, I know this isn't your "dream" wedding baby but once all the dust is cleared. We can plan for that." her mother told her.

"Exactly." Big Ma retorted. "We just need to get you married and get Iyonna adopted. That's all that matters right now." She voiced calmly.

Fatima takes a breath, "Right." she murmurs, taking another deep breath coaching herself.

"Can I just say that dress is hittin'?" "I know right." Fatima smiled. "I can't believe Zac actually picked this out for me." "He did good." Amanda chimed in, holding the sleeping flower girl.

"That reminds me. I have to thank Daddy for pulling some strings to get us in here so fast." "Baby Girl, Zac has already taken care of that." Beverly said.

"Damn this man has thought of everything." "That's My Peanut." Big Ma cheered.

Meanwhile...

"You ready Son." "A little nervous but yeah" Zac uttered in a sign looking at himself in the full length mirror.

"I think I have everything. Or I should have everything." "Trust me Man. You did good." Nicholas added.

"You got the rings right?!" "Yup right here." Nicholas assured him showing the rings then placing it back in his pocket.

"Mr. Richard, I can't thank you enough for giving me your blessing to have Fatima's hand in marriage. And getting me closer to my dream." He told him.

"It's really no problem Zac," Richard said. "It's good to see a man of your caliber not only go so hard for himself and his child, but for my daughter. You make me proud to call you Son-in-Law." He told him.

"Yeah man. It's nice to have someone I can actually look up too. Mia couldn't be more happier of the changes I've made because of you." Nicholas added.

"Nick Man, it wasn't like you were a bad guy." "Yeah I know." He mumbled, "But I did my dirt, we did our dirt. But having you around to talk to. I don't know man." He shrugged awkwardly, taking his hand to the back of his neck.

Zac goes in as they start their special handshake.

"It's all good bro." He told Nicholas. "It's actually nice to have someone I can call a true friend. It's been too long." "Word." Nicholas laughed.

Zac and Nicholas make it to the altar standing, he smiles. As the music plays...

🎶🎶🎶 "If this world were mine. I'd play at your feet. All that I own, you've been so good to me. If this world were mine. I'd give you flowers. The birds and the bees. And the old love inside me, that would be all I need. If this world were mine. I'd give you anything..."🎶🎶🎶

Big Ma sheds a tear, "tha' my Grandbaby." She murmurs shakingly, touching her chest gently, getting choked up.

Knowing that's a song her husband used to play for her, as they would dance around the kitchen when Zac was a baby and they'd babysit him, while Amanda ran the streets.

Coming down the aisle next after Zac's mother was Fatima's mother. Then Mia, who winked at Nicholas on her way toward the bride's side. Next up was MJ (Mia's daughter) and Iyonna who finally awakened just in time to walk, well wobble, down the aisle with her flower girl dress on and a basket of flowers. Which didn't quite make it to the floor but into her mouth.
