Grind and Pray

Final Chapter pt.1
"Chucki P.O.V": Times right now are a little tough relationship wise because Hope has been taking care of the twins and she has been furthering her education. Yes, I'm paying her tuition and yes I'm still in the studio making music. She actually thought it was time for me to enjoy time with my family and push off my tour for another month. I love her and I appreciate her support, so in return I'm giving her exactly what she wants, A DAY WITH HER FAMILY. I took the time to invite John simply because Alycia deserves to be happy and he made her happy. He agreed to come to the BBQ because he  still has feelings for baby sis. If you're wondering about who all I reached out to, I was able to reach out to Ni and I was also able to reach out to Sammy. Ni you already know that he's in the marines, Sammy on the other hand I forgave her for ruining my brothers life but then again she is carrying his child and the child that she is carrying is a part of this family. I'm currently brushing my teeth because I have a shit load of things to do today such as pick up Ty from jail and pick up Ni from the airport. Here's Hope walking in with Jovan and Angel Jr. (AJ).

Hope: Good morning babe.
Chuckii: Good morning ma'.

I kissed her lips and the boys foreheads. She sat them on the counter tops and the just sat up laughing. The twins are about 6-7 months now. Mainly everyone graduated except Ty, but from the jail visits he plans on getting his life back on track and being a great father to his child.

Hope: You do know that...
Chuckii: Yes I know but make sure no one knows that they're coming home. And please make sure Sammy is ready to announce what gender she's having.
Hope: okay but can you pick up...
Chuckii: If you say a cake I'm going to go berzerk.
Hope: why?
Chuckii: Ma do we really need one?
Hope: yes. If you don't get it I'll tell one of the boys to go get it.
Chuckii: Ight I'll get it. Pablo and Tiff are going to be here right?
Hope: Tiff and our niece Niya will be here.
Chuckii: Good but why Pablo not.....
Hope: He work babe and no one will take his shift.

I shook my head in disappointment because I know he wanted to be here but when you grow and you supporting your family on your own you gotta do what you gotta do. I'm glad he's being smart and sticking to legal things. I grabbed Jovan while Hope grabbed AJ. No lie AJ is attached to his mama so I know he's going to be the mamas boy. As I got ready, Hope laid across the bed playing with the boys. Watching my mini family be happy and remain happy puts a smile on my face because this is what niggas in this generation is afraid of: love, commitment, family, trust, honesty, faith, and hard work. I sat on the bed lacing up my shoes when Hope got off the bed leaving the boys climbing up on me. She put my chain on me and stood back with her phone.

Chuckii: What you doin'? *chuckles*
Hope: Taking a picture of you guys. Moments like this is why I push through the tough times.

She snapped a picture and I picked up the twins. I love my sons and my family with all of my heart and that's never going to change just then I heard yelling. I headed down the hall and stairs with Hope to be greeted by Alycia and John.

Alycia: what are you doing here?
John: I'm still family and Chuck invited me.
Alycia: well you can leave.

I shook my head and John shrugged his shoulders. Hope smacked the back of my head before grabbing the twins from me.

Chuckii: John ride with me I got a few things to handle.

We headed out the front door and Alycia shook her head. This girl need to realize that she was in the wrong. As we got into the car John chuckled.
