It's Always Been You (sequal to It's Gotta Be You)

SO AS YOU ALL KNOW CIARA HAS LEFT L.A. AND WENT TO MIAMI WITH KIARA. BUT THERE IS A LOT MORE TO HER LIFE THAT'S HAPPENED IN THE PAST TWO YEARS AND SHE'S GONNA TELL YOU ABOUT RIIIIIIGHT NOW OH WAIT ALSO FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO DON'T KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON READ THE FIRST PART "IT'S GOTTA BE YOU" NOW CIARA IS GONNA TELL YOU EVERYTHING THAT'S HAPPENED

Two years later- In Miami

Ciara's POV

Well I know you're wondering how I'm doing and honestly I'm a lot better. I graduated high school at the top of my class. Now I'm trying to go college. I have my own place to stay and a job, also Kiara is five and she's in preschool.

I also have a surprise for you guys umm I had a baby boy and yes it's Roc's cause two weeks after I left I found out I was pregnant again. CJ is now two years old and Kiara loves him.

I still stay in contact with everyone I want to talk to and every holiday we would get together. Meaning they would fly out here or I fly out there without Roc knowing it.

How is he you ask? Wouldn't know cause I don't talk to him. He doesn't even know about CJ. I know that's really fucked up and really I have no buts about it, so there's no excuse.

I know he should know that he has a baby boy and I think CJ needs to see his daddy, so Imma do what's right and be civil.

Right now I'm at work and it's the end of the day. I clock out and go to my nana's house. She lives out here and she loves watching her grandkids.

I pull up to the house and see a different car in the drive way. I get out the car and go in the house to see Roc there playing with Kiara. When I walk in and they look at me.

Kiara-Mommy you're home

Me-Yup baby I'm home

Kiara-Look who it is, it's daddy mommy

Me-I see

Roc-Umm Ciara we need to talk

Me-Ok

He got up and walked outside and I walked out with him.

Me-So how are you?

Roc-Not that good. Umm the last two years have been true hell on earth

Me-I'm sorry

Roc-Its my fault like always

Me-So how did you find me?

Roc-Jalisa. She over heard the group talking and when I asked everyone where you were at she said it

Me-Oh did she say anything about CJ?

Roc-Who is CJ?

Me-Oh shit you're gonna be pissed

Roc-About what?

Me-Umm two weeks after I left I found out I was pregnant again and nine months later I had CJ

Roc-I have a son?

Me-Yea he's here. Do you want to see him?

Roc-Yea

Me-Come on

I lead Roc upstairs to the guest room where CJ was sleep. I walked over to the bed and picked him up, then gave him to Roc. He looked at him and smiled.

Roc-He looks just like me

Me-I know, but he has-

Roc-Your eyes

Me-How did you?

Roc-Well even though we're not together we're still connected

Me-I guess

Roc-Ciara can you please move back to L.A. and I'm not even asking for me I'm doing it for everyone even our kids

Me-I don't know Roc cause I don't want to be hurt again

Roc-I didn't ask you to get back together with me I just want to be closer to my kids

Me-I don't know I mean I don't want to move back in with my brother

Roc-He said of you come back, he'll either give you his house or buy you a house

I did miss everyone and I know everyone missed me, so I guess if I'm getting my house I could move back to L.A., but if I'm moving back I'm mostly doing it for the kids.

Me-Ok I'll move back, but I'm only doing this for the kids

Roc-Thank you Ciara

Me-Yup

Nana-Roc sweetheart do you want to stay for dinner?

He looked at me and I look back, then I whispered.

Me-Its ok

Roc-Sure that'll be nice

Nana-Ok

Me-You know Kiara wants to spend more time with you anyway

Roc-She's so beautiful. I remember the day she was born when I first held her and the day she was taken away from me

He sat down on the couch, then put his head in hands and I started to hear sniffing. I hugged him and he just cried. I silently started to cry with him as I remembered that day.

Me-Roc it's ok

Roc-No it isn't. I almost let your brother kill me for what I did cause I knew I deserved it. I almost killed myself

Me-Roc stop it ok me and the kids are coming back and we'll be closer

Roc-Ciara I'm so sorry. I love you so much and I fucked that up, but I don't want my kids to leave me forever

Me-I know and I'm coming back ok

Roc-Ok. Umm can you tell me something about my son?

Me-Well when he was born he was 9 pounds and 11 ounces, he opened his eyes the next day and he loves being tickled under his arms. When he was younger he only stopped crying for my pinky he started walking when he was 1

I went on and on about our baby boy and he just smiled at me. I missed his smile and honestly I missed him, but I just don't know if I can trust or be with anyone who cheated on me. Meaning I love him, but I can't trust or be with him.

SO THAT'S THE START OF THE SEQUEL I HOPE YOU LIKE IT AND I'M GONNA KEEP GOING NOW LIKE I SAID BEFORE I DON'T KNOW HOW THIS IS GOING TO END BUT SHOULD IT BE HAPPY OR SAD BET ON EVERYTHING Y'ALL GONNA SAY HAPPY LOL WELL LET'S FIND OUT
