I dragged my hand down my belly bump as I swifted my dress to the side . My hair was in Bantu Knots and my makeup was everything a princess could desire . I'm 8 months pregnant in this nice slim dress. I could feel a tear but I sucked it right up . I turned around and looked at the back . I fixed my crown and my veil . I put on my heels slowly and Emerald handed me my bouquet.
" Are you ready ? You told me if you divorce in this marriage -" Emerald started up.
" I'm never dating again " I said and she looked at me with a warm smile . A tear slipped out her eye and she collided into me . She stared crying on my shoulder and I patter her back.
" I'm sorry , it's just that I missed your last wedding and I wasn't there " She said.
" Its okay Eme . It's okay . That was my fault . Your a beautiful women taking care of someone's else's child . Your brave " I said and she smiled .
We did last touchings and the music started to play . It was Maxwell's , this Woman's Worth. I watched as the bridesmaids and groomsmen walked down . They got into alignment and I saw Peru standing up there with pride . I was shocked to see my mother in the stands .
I started to take a step as Riley started to put down the flowers. I flipped my veil over my face and I walked along the flowers. I held the bouquet nicely in my hands as Riley got done . King came out and grabbed Riley's arm standing next to Peru.
I smiled every step I took. I finally reached the podium. They lifted the veil from over my head and I faced Peru. It was so many people in the crowds . He smiled at me and my lips wanted to quiver .
He could tell I was close to crying and he grabbed my hand . He started to rub the back of it as the man went on about how marriage should be . After that , it was time for vows.
" Riva , your a warm hearted women and without you , some things I couldn't do. Without you , I wouldn't realize I couldn't do . You opened a new light to my eyes and I thank you for that. I thank you for carrying my children , and I thank you for staying by my side " Peru said as he rubbed my hand .
" Peru , your a savior . You came to me in the day I was in need . You helped me at the most important times . You was there through it all and I thank you for that baby . I thank you for it all and without you , I wouldn't be here . I don't know where I would be . You have me grace " I said .
" You may kiss the bride " The man said and he reached over to me , kissing me softly on my lips . Our hands collided as we kissed and we pulled apart .
Claps fell over us and people rose out their chair . Brain McKnight , get myself together , started to play. Flowers fell over us as we rushed down the steps. My mom smiled at me and mouthed " I'm happy for you ". My kids rushed over to me and hugged me .
Peru and I locked hands and began to dance in front of the wedding alter. We started dancing which everyone joined in . We weren't even at the reception yet. Peru smiled at me with his bright teeth as we danced and I kissed his lips once again .
Riley and King began to dance along with the crowd .
" I love you " Peru said as he started to hug me .
" I love you too " I said as I held his waist. We were in that position and he rubbed down my back . I smiled as the music played on .
1 Week Later
I held the rail as I began to breathe . I was laying down on the bed feeling the worst possible pain ever . I been in labor for 79 hours and this pain is not ending . Peru was by my side every second except when his ass went home to go to sleep . I breathed heavily as the doctors propped my legs back up.
" Your going to have to push . Your fully dilated " The doctor , Mr.Mallory said . Peru rubbed my hand and I started to push.
Emerald rushed in as she stood by my side . I pushed some more as I squeezed Peru's hand . Peru held mines just as tight while I squeezed.
"She's crowning" A nurse said and I pushed once more . It felt like a total load slipping off me. I felt relieved but I could still feel pain .
" It's a boy " Mr.Mallory said as he went to clean the baby. I pushed once more again , I couldn't hold it . This little fucker is coming out right now , today ! I pushed again and the nurses started to push around my vagina as I started to crown.
I used all my strength and almost passed out . I laid my head on the bed and I sighed.
" It's a girl !" Someone shouted and I just started to close my eyes. I was so tired.
**
I woke up to see Emerald holding one baby and Peru holding the other.
" Kingdom and Chase " I said and they both looked at me . That's what I wanted to name them . Kingdom and Chase.
" Kingdom for her " I said as Emerald handed me her. She was so tiny . I sat up as she started to open her eyes. I gasped as I stared at her little light brown eyes that could be mistaken for hazel . She was just looking at me . She had my lips and nose. She looked like her father though.
" Mommies girl " I said and Peru almost snapped his neck in my direction.
" Daddies Girl " He said he passed Chase to me and grabbed Kingdom .
" Mommies Boy " I said and Peru looked at me once again. He grabbed Chase and shook his head at me .
" These are daddy's babies. They love me . Not you . Daddy's children" Peru said and I rolled my eyes .
" Well , I can't hold my grandchildren " Kathy and my mother boasted as they walked into the door with my angels .
" Mommy " They said as they kissed my cheeks . I smiled as they looked at the twins.
