Monte POV:

I woke up and was ready to get this shit over with. I hate dealing with detectives and all that police shit. I rolled over and kissed Ren on her cheek then hoped outta bed.

I walked downstairs and everyone was in the kitchen. "Goodmornin y'all. I see everybody ready except Ren." Everyone exchanged good mornings and went to taking having their own little convos.

"So I told all of the fam to be at gma's house today and I feel bad cause I don't know how they feeling they could be thinking the worse man." I said looking in my phone.

"Hey it'll be all better when they see us." Ari added to make me feel better.

"Oooh and Chelle yo mom will be there." She smiled instantly.

Now Chelle was adopted by a black woman, named Gabrielle Urick. Such a nice and beautiful woman man. She adopted her when Chelle was like 3 and in Chelle's eyes she's the main person that matters. She taught her how to appreciate her foreign side. Even tho Gabrielle didn't know much about Chinese she learned how to speak it just so Chelle could too. I don't know what happen to Chelle's family but she's blessed either way.

"Oh my gosh I've been so busy then this that I haven't seen her in a month." Chelle said excitedly.

"Alright let's do this. Monte you drop off the girls around the corner from the police station everybody else head to gma's house." Ren came walking in the kitchen putting things in order. "And before you say anything Tay, you're doing it because it won't be suspicious to our family and it would if Drew did and the all of a sudden in confess Ari & Chelle. Okay?" Damn, did she put a nigga in check.

"Well okay then boss." Raheem said.

"Now everybody go get y'all selves together. I'm ready to get this shit over with." Everybody listened to her and went to do what was requested. Damn as the years go by I realize my boss ways rubs off on her.

"Good morning to you too Ren." She turned around and looked at me.

"Oh I'm sorry baby. But this been heavy on my mind. I barely could sleep last night and I'm just ready to get this over with and move on with our lives. You know?" She walked up on me while I was leaning on the island counter. I grabbed her and held her.

"We gone get this over with and back to planning this wedding. Two more months right?" I kissed her forehead.

"Yes thank god. And three more months til our second child is here."

"Yes and you'll be Mrs. Taylor. You know my mom is so proud of me for making myself a family. She loves you anyways have since she met you. When she noticed the change you had on me, she just knew you would be the one for me." She smiled. "You ready for this, for me?" She laughed.

"Man how long have I had to deal with you. Come on Monte, since we were youngins' running the street I've had to deal with you. We grown now and I'm ready to say I do." She kissed my neck.

"Damn didn't you say you was tryna get shit done today. Come on you know that's my spot." She smiled and back up from me.

"Go change. You see I'm already dressed." She pointed to the stairs.

"Alright."

A Hour Later

I was just getting to gma's house from dropping the girls off. And everybody was there literally. "Sorry you guys I'm a little late, but had some things to take care of." I walked through the house and gave hugs and daps to everyone.

"Daddy!" I heard my son yelling coming behind me. I turned around and he jumped right in to my arms.

"What's good lil man? Did you know daddy missed you?" I kissed him on the forehead.

"I missed you too. You kay?"

"Yes I'm okay." I smiled at that.

"Okay so I have some good and bad news family." Drew spoke up and everybody drew their attention on him. "What do y'all want to here first?"

"The bad news first son." Drew looked up at that. He was surprised Ari's dad was calling him son.

"Well the cops didn't find the killers. But..." Before he could finish the girls came rushing in the door.

"Baby!" Mr. Smith grabbed up Ari and held her so tight. She cried in to his neck.

"Oh my gosh! My daughter Kochelle!" Chelle's mom squealed. Chelle ran into her arms. Raheem walked over to them and wrapped his arms around both of them.

"Where's my babies?" Ari asked trying to stop crying.

"There in the den baby." Drew said. "Lemme go get them."

I was holding lil Sean when gma came over to me smiling. "Y'all did it, didn't you?"

"You know we had your girls back, I know you love Ari like that's your actual daughter and I know you've taken Chelle under yo wing cause she's been there for Ari, I mean look st all this family around us." We stood back and looked at everyone.

"What's so funny baby is that all these people have judged you in a way about your street mentalities, including me. But you have a heart and always have. I mean look who you holding in your arms." I looked over my shoulders at my reflection in my son's face.

"I know I really didn't think me and Serenity would be this deep in to it. I've been around you guys for so long, and I put Ren through so much but I'm gonna show you guys that there's so much great shit to come. I love this family not ask of you let me in easy especially yo son but I'll show em."

And I meant that ..
