Bad Girls Do It Well 2: isn't over yet *Completed*

Chapter 24: Five Years Later

Ricky sat in the rocking chair rocking her newborn baby girl Ariel back and forth. It's been five years later since her and the girls put their misery to an end  and Ricky couldn't have been more happier. She was happily married to Richard who'm she thought she would never make it this far with. Just a few weeks ago their baby girl was born. She resembled Ricky when she was calm, but had her fathers face when she was upset. 

Ricky traced her fingers around Ariel's chubby face and stared mesmorized at her. She never thought that she would make it this far to grow up and have a child of her own. She now understood how important it was to teach young girls to be kind to one another and stand up for themselves. She now understood that instead of tearing each other down, build each other up. People come from different walks of life but had something common. She was ready to teach her daugther that. She was ready to protect her. She was ready to love her and be there for her like her grandmother taught her. She was ready to be a mother. 

The sun came shining threw the windows of her baby girls's room that used to be her old room when she was younger. Ricky and Richard had chose to stay in her grandmothers home. There were too many memories that she did not want to forget. She wanted her daugther to grow up in the house to always feel her great grandmother's love even after death. Ricky knew deep doen her grandmother was always around. She would always have dreams about her. To her, it was something beautiful. She was finally at peace with herself. 

"So I know you wont understand a thing that mommy is going to say but, there was a story of me and two friends," Ricky began explaining as Ariel kicked her legs. "We went on a wild journey. We did and said a lot of awful things to people just to feel on top. We didn't care about anything but ourselves until people started dying around us. We then realize it was because of our actions. It was a horrible experience amd a horrible ride, but it drew us closer together. I never knew what it was like to have sisters until I met them. "

Richard slowly appeared in the door way listening. Ricky looked up and smiled when she saw him. She then continued,"I even met someone who showed me unconditional love. Who supported me through it all. Who loved and protected me. When I thought I had nothing, he gave me something. That was your father. So baby girl, What I want you to know is that your going to go through the darkest times in your life. Never forget those who love you. I wont let you grow up being selfish. I'll show you everything that the wonderful people in my life showed me. It won't be easy, but always keep pushing. There is always a light at the end of the tunnel."

Richard walked over planting a kiss on Ricky's lips as he grabbed Ariel. He stared into her beautiful dark blue eyes as the sun set on her flawless caromel skin. 

"I hope you grow up to be like your mother," he said. "Strong, beautiful, loving, and caring."

Suddenly Ciara and Sam came running into the room. Ricky slowly stood up suprised. She didnt know her friends would be visiting her considering they didnt call to say they were coming. 

"Sorry, I forgot to tell you they were here," Richard explained chuckling as he gave Ariel to Ciara. "I was so mesmorized by what you were saying to Ariel ot totally slipped my mind."

"Hey, aunt Ciara in the building to spoil you with all my money," Ciara said as she kissed Ariel on the cheeks.

"We heard what you were saying and I just thought it was wonderful," Sam said. " I can't wait to have a child with Domo."

"I'll leave you ladies alone," Richard said as he slowly made his way out. He stopped to hug Sam and said," Again, congratulations on your engagement." He then exited the room.

"So, movie night like old times?" Ciara suggested.

"Right after I put Ariel to bed," Ricky said laughing. 

"Maybe later we can go shopping for Sam's wedding!" Ciara gushed excitedly.

The girls laughed and talked on and on. They were finally at peace. They were finally happy again.
