The nurse came into the room and checked on Hope.

"She's just a little bruised up and sore from surgery but she will be fine." She smiled.

"When can she come home?" Roc asked.

"Umm..give her a few days to heal and she'll be good as new." She grabbed her clipboard and left.

"Babe can you go get me some water?" Hope asked sitting up.

"Why didn't you ask the nurse?" Roc whined not wanting to get up. She glared at him and he stood up mumbling under his breath. "What was that?"

"Huh? Nothing." He walked out the room.

"Umm... Maybe I should go?" Bahja said standing up. She felt awkward being alone in the room with Hope.

"No stay." Hope smiled. "I want to talk to you." Bahja sat back down and motioned for her to continue. "I'm not going to blow up on you and curse you out. I actually want to thank you." Bahja looked confused. "If you hadn't helped out Roc I would probably be dead."

"You're welcome and I'm sorry about your baby. I really didn't think he would take it that far. I wasn't thinking though. I just want to put this all behind us and start over. I'm swear to you, I'm DONE chasing Roc. I am content with us just being friends."

"I forgive you Bee." Hope smiled.

"You think we can every be friends?" Bahja asked.

"Baby steps." Hope winked as Roc walked in with the rest of the gang.

"Hope can you come downstairs please!" Roc yelled pacing around the living room.

"What what?" She asked she got downstairs. "Who's this?" She asked referring to the man sitting on the couch in a suit.

"Just listen okay." Roc took a deep breath before he started talking. "Hope you know I love you. And almost losing you the other day showed me that I can't live without you. I'm done with the games. I just want you. I'll never leave you so let's just make it official."

HOPE'S POV

I know he did not just ask me to marry him again!

"Roc I already said yes once." I laughed at his silliness.

"No I mean right now lets get married." My mouth drop at what he just said. I covered my mouth. He grabbed my hand and he and the man in the suit led me to the back patio. It was decorated with gorgeous lilies and white roses.His parents along with mine, Keisha and the crew were all seated in the pale pink covered chairs. "You have 30 minutes to get dressed and make your decision." He walked in to the house with his boys and Joy,Chasity,and Symone led me up to my room where a beautiful wedding gown was laid out on the bed. I cried hard.

"What's wrong?" Symone asked rubbing my back.

"Yea don't you want to marry him." Chasity cut in.

"Hope if you don't want to do this you don't have to." Joy smiled. " but make the right decision." I smiled to my self and slipped the dress on. It was flawless and fit perfect. Joy curled my hair while chasity did my makeup and Symone helped to get everything else ready. After I was done, I kissed my girls on the cheek and they went to take their seats. I walked out when it was time and slowly made my way down the isle. I could see roc tearing up. Man he really does love me. He's perfect in everyday and I am positive I want to spend the rest of my life with him. When I got up to him he mouth the words "I love you."

"Who gives this woman away?" The priest asked.

"I do." My dad kissed my forehead and gave Roc the eye before going to his seat. The priest said a few words and then it was time for vows.

"I'll go first before I lose my nerve." Roc laughed. "Hope Tarae Carter, these last few months with you have definitely been a roller coaster. I've lied and deceived you but there was never one time that I doubted my love for you. I only want to be with you. I've known it it since I knocked you down in the park that day." He was crying and We all giggled. "I promise to you, God, and all our friends and family, I will never hurt you again. I love with every bone in my body. Every muscle. And I will do everything in my power to Keep happy. I don't ever want to be without you. Cause you know you got that ill na na!" I slapped his chest and we all laughed. My dad shot him the death stare.

"I guess it's my turn." I smiled. "Chresanto Lorenzo Romelo August..dang. Words can't even explain how much I love and care for you. That day you knocked me down in the park, I fell hard. Not just on my ass but I fell deep in love with you." He smiled and more tears fell. He reach out and wiped my tears and I did the same to his. "I know in my heart that you genuinely care and love me. I want nothing more then to start a family with you. You've help me get through so many things and I love you. I always will." By the time I was done talking, our faces were soaked. Our parents came up and signed the emancipation papers, giving us permission to be we'd, we signed the marriage certificate.

"I now pronounce you husband and wife. Kiss your bride young brother." Roc grabbed my face and kissed me will more passion and love then he ever had before and all I could think about was our past. All the bad things we had gone through. The times I even contemplated leaving him. It was all over now and I'm glad I stuck it out. I thought about the time when I was stuck between a rock and a hard place. Now I was just stuck on Roc. My Roc. Always and forever until death do us part.
