Conflict Reloaded

Epilogue

"Mommy! Mommy! You're pretty!" My two bubbly beautiful girls ran ino the room. I swear they look so much like me when I was young. I must admit that they do have beautiful brown eyes that resembles Jahlil's. And they have his big ass ears.

"Mommy what's funny?" I put down my eyeliner then picked up my babies. "Nothing. Mommy is just happy today."

"Mommy you look extraly pretty today.", Isabelle said. "Yeah Mommy. And daddy looks extrely handsomeness.", Malina agreed. I couldn't help but laugh at them. My girls fill my world.

At first, I was nervous and skeptical about how we were going to raise them. Gladly, Jahlil and I got back together. I was still worried, though. We were still in high school. We were young. Damn, I'm talking like we are super old. What I meant is that we were too young to be having babies. My mom vocalized her opinion on that. My father did too.

At the end of the day, they'll be here for their baby girl no matter what. And they have been. And Janelle will always be there for her baby boy no matter what. Oh my goodness, that woman is so amazing. I have and will always have nothing but love for her.

Janelle is very motivational, inspirational, and successful. She started with her restaurant only being in one city, now she has branched out. She now has five restaurants spread out. Her dream is to have Cultural Cuisine as a world wide famous restaurant. Five restaurants? I say she's doing pretty damn good already.

Her and her boo thang are stronger than ever. Dylan Price sure had a price to pay to win Janelle over. She'd been hurt twice before, but she didn't give up on love. They've been together only a few months. They met four years ago. That just proves that he had to work work and work some more for her. He felt that it was worth it, and I know that he was right. He seems like a good man. My mother-in-law deserves a good man.

"Hey girl!" In comes Gloria, Ashley, Olivia, and Janelle. The girls slid off my lap then ran into Janelle's arms.

"Oh hold up now. Yall are too big and I am too old to be picking you both up."

We laughed at her. Ooo, Janelle is so humble. She is forty years old lookin' younger than me! I don't know how she does it, but I can only hope that I can look that youthful when I start getting up there in age. Okay, that sounded so wrong in my head, but it was meant to be a compliment.

"You look so nice boo!", Olivia complimented.

"Really?" I got up and looked into the mirror. I have on a pure white thin strapped wedding dress. The same dress that my mom got married in! She kept throwing hints to me that she wanted me to. I tricked her into thinking that I wasn't gonna wear it though.

It's just a dress though. Some women like to go all out on their.weddings and spend millions. Don't get me wrong, my wedding is very classy and elegant, but it's only a wedding. What matters to me the most is the guy that I am marrying.

Jahlil is my everything. We have had our ups and downs, but the good knocks the bad out of the park. I regret ever cheating on him, because it wasn't worth it. I should have never done something so idiotic. I realized I couldn't live without him when I felt like I would die without him. And I would never do anything else to betray his trust ever again. I will start being completely honest with him. I will always be loyal to him. I will always be with him. I'm so ready to be Mrs.McClain.

This is crazy! I can't believe I'm about to marry my best friend.

(Jahlil)

"Damn man, you really have changed.", T.J. said to me.

"Yeah man, I know."

"Who ever would've thought that you of all people would be about to get married?" Will shook his head. He used to swear up and down that I was the player type back in high school. That wasn't the case. Females just wanted me. I got the only one that I wanted though.

"And who would've ever thought that you of all people would be with Monica?"

T.J., Tommy, and I started cracking up at that one. It's funny though, because he tried to keep that shit low key while she broadcasted it to everyone. All I can that we all need love.

Including me. At one point I didn't even believe that. Malia stayed with me though.

Malia. Damn. That girl is really something special. I knew that from the very first time I saw her. It's funny though, because at first she thought I was just like all those other guys. In the beginning I really had no intentions of getting with her. I proved that to her and we've been friends ever since. Best friends. Wow, I'm about to marry my best friend.

Our relationship hasn't been perfect, and that's all my fault. I just had this horrible negative mindset. I would always doubt myself. I would always be sad, mad, angry, frustrated, and confused. When I realized that there was a possibility that I could have lost her, I knew I had to do better.

My mind was just all fucked up. As blunt as that is, it's true. And I guess part of the reason why is because there would always be some type of conflict in my life. Didn't matter how much of a good person I tried to be, I was always conflicted.

But now, with Malia by my side, I know that I can handle anything.

(Forever Ain't Enough -J.holiday)

"You see me for who I am and not for who I'm not (no)

I'm telling you that I'm sorry if I tend to treat you the wrong way

But I care

You know my heart is there

Even though I don't show it girl

I just want you to know

That even if we fight a million times over little things

We can still make it better

I meant what I said when I gave you that promise ring

That I'mma love you forever

Fall for you deeper everyday

Feelin' now girl more than ever

That with our type of love, forever ain't enough."
