All In The Family

When someone you love becomes a memory that memory becomes a Treasure. ~Unknown~

A week later......

Sanai

"I still can't believe it, All this time Aaliyah was an angel. This feel unreal".

When Aaliyah told us what she really was we couldn't say nothing, I didn't want her to go so soon. My mom and dad took it better than AJ and I, Austin on the other hand was hurt.

"You good bro"? AJ ask Austin who had his head in his hands.

He look up at us and shook his head before speaking. "I'm good I just wish she was still here".

"She might be gone but she will always be in our heart" I tell as I rub his back.

"Yeah you right. Let me get going, Ashley probably wondering where I'm at".

Once Austin left AJ was about to leave as well. "Ight Nai I'll call you later on" he say as he pull me into a hug.

"Cool and when can I have little Aug, I want my little nephew to spend the night with me".

"You can get him whenever that if Aniqua would let you him, you know he's going to turn out to be a momma's boy".

"Aww nothing wrong with that" we said bye then I lock the door behind me just to turn around to unlock it cause there was a knock at the door.

I open the door to see Jaxon with groceries in his hands. "You would show up when I lock the door" I tell him while getting some of the bags taking them to the kitchen.

"Not my fault, I just seen AJ leaving out. Is everything okay"?

"Yeah, just missing Aaliyah wish she was still here though, you planning on cooking this now or you want it in the freezer"?

I ask him trying to get my mind off Aaliyah, no matter how hard I try to get my mind off Liyah seems like I feel her in my presence.

I began to put the food up while Jaxon left to go get whatever, as I was moving around I felt a cool breeze across my face.

"Sanai"?

I stop doing what I was doing to turn around and there I see Aaliyah.

"I'm sorry this happen but I will always be around no matter what, never hesitate to call for me. I'm here right by your side so stop worrying I will be back soon".

She smile that pretty smile of hers then fade away, I haven't realize that I was crying when I felt a tear roll.

"What's wrong Nai are you alright"? Jaxon ask pulling me into him.

"I'm fine" I look up at him with a smile then laid my head on his chest. As I laid my head on Jaxon I spotted Aaliyah, I mouthed I love you to her as she did the same. I knew everything was going to be okay.

Austin

After leaving from Nai house I stop by the store to grab some things before I head home. Even though I told AJ and Nai I was good deep down I'm not, why did she have to go so soon? I wish she could stay forever.

"I never left you".

For a minute I look around to see if I seen someone, apparently I heard a voice.

"Its your sister talking Austin, I might be gone but my presence will always be around. I love you and stop being sad, by the way both of my niece and nephew will be coming soon. Be strong for them as well as for Ashley.

"I hear ya sis" I say then I began to grab a few things, I paid for the stuff and I went home.

"Hey baby I have some good news" Ashley said walking up to me with this big grin on her face.

"What is it"?

"I'm pregnant"!!! She shouted with excitement showing me the pregnancy test.

I couldn't even say nothing but hug her while pecking her lips a couple of times. I was still hugging Ashley then Liyah appear right in front of me.

"Love you, remember what I said".

She tells me then she was gone, "I can't believe it Austin how do you feel right now"? She ask looking at me.

"I can't really explain it but I'm happy can't wait to tell the rest" I tell her. All I thought about was what Aaliyah said and she's right I'm about to start a family.

AJ

I came home to a sleeping Aniqua. I check on Aug then went back into me and Niqua bedroom to get ready to take a shower.

I stood in front of the mirror for a minute looking at myself then seen Aaliyah. I thought I was trippin for a moment but I wasn't, I was actually seeing Aaliyah.

"Girl you just don't know how much I miss you already" I tell her.

"I know but I will show up every once in a while, don't be all sad you got a family to attend to now".

"I'll take your word for it, you will always be in my heart love you Liyah" I tell her. She said it back and fade away. I had a little tears forming in my eyes but I got myself together, I turn on the shower waiting for the water to get at the right temperature.

"Hey when did you get in"? Aniqua ask walking into the bathroom.

"Not to long ago, I check on August he was straight. What you doing up"?

"Can I use the bathroom"? She ask.

"Yeah I'm just messing with you" I tell her as I got out my clothes about to get in the shower.

"You know I wouldn't mind having company in here" I say as I was washing up.

"I bet you do but I hear my baby, maybe next time".

"Okay I'll hold you to it" I say then got finish getting clean. Once I was done I wrap a towel around me going in the room to put on my boxer and some basketball shorts.

Soon as I got dress I left out the room going into Aug room where Aniqua was standing by the crib. I walk behind her holding onto her waist, "I love the two of you to death" I tell her as I kiss the side of her face.

"I'm so proud of the both of you, see you again soon".

Aaliyah said standing on the other side of the crib. I wink at her as she slowly fade away, "Come on baby lets get some sleep" I took Niqua hand and we made our way back to our bedroom. We both got in bed and cuddle then off to sleep I went.
