Money, Pain, And Redemption

Chapter 16

~9 months later~

I woke up to sharp pain in my stomach and called for G.
"What's wrong baby girl you," he asked.
I reached out to him when I felt something wet "take me to the hospital!" I screamed.
G picked me up and put me in the car. I began to feel sharp pain everywhere and I screamed for help.
"Where's my phone call my mama call Heaven!" I screamed.
"Calm down baby girl we almost there," he said.
When we arrived at the hospital they rushed me to the back and G called my mom and Heaven. G came in the room and sat next to me I screamed and cried as I pushed out the baby. I felt the baby moving. I pushed three more times and heard the sweet sound of a baby crying I felt relieved. "It's a boy," the doctor yelled. They cleaned him off and let me hold him in my arms "what you want to name him," G asked. "Devon Kingean Mason after his dad,"I said. My mom, Heaven, Loyal, Trey, Peanut, Ant, G's mom, and Black came to see the baby. "What's his name he so precious," G's mom asked. "Devon Kingean Mason after his daddy," I said looking at G he smiled and winked his eye. G held the baby in his arms then they took him to the baby room everybody began leave and except of Loyal. G sat in a chair next to the hospital bed I was in while Loyal sat in a chair in the corner it seemed as if he was ready for anything to pop off he always did his job. "We got to wait 9 weeks before we can have sex again," I said. "That's cool babygirl I can wait but how you feeling," he replied. "I'm okay it hurted cause the baby got a big head like yours had a hard time pushing it out," I said.
The next morning we got dressed and they discharged us out the hospital. "Baby I got a surprise for you,"G said when we got home. G opened the door and I walked in the house with the baby. " Go to the backyard," he said. I walked in the backyard and there was a set for a wedding everybody was standing and there was a man that looked like a preacher there. I turned around to see Heaven, Loyal,Black, my mama and Trey. Trey put his arm inside my arm and guided me down the isle. The preacher told G to say his vows I began to tear up as he spoke "babygirl I know it's not right in the law for you to marry me but to me age ain't nothing but a number when you find love. You changed me to be a better person with a family and I hope to have more children in the future but I asked your mom for your hand because I wanted to be with you forever. The bond we have is different I never knew I could have a wife, best friend, lover, queen, and baby mother in one. You are my everything you give me joy worth living for everyday your pride shows me how to be a stronger man than ever. Will you marry me?" Tears began to fall "yes," I said softly while hugging him. Afterwards​ the pastor talked to us about joining his church and getting our life together and that we should bring everything to the alter "God hears his hurting children cries," he said. I thought on that for a while I started thinking about all my pain all I cared about was making it through the days while getting money but I never been redeemed from everything. Today I was ready to get money, get over the pain, and be redeemed. G was ready also I could tell he wanted a better life for our child so he wanted a change in his life.

~Sunday Morning ~

We woke up Sunday morning and got dressed we bought the baby church clothes to wear and dressed him in them. I put on a black fitted skirt with a white top and black heels. I had my hair braided pinned up in a bun. G and the baby was wearing the same thing which was a white polo shirt and black jeans with black Timberland's. The preacher name was Pastor Trevor Jackson. His wife was beautiful for her age they both were in their mid 50s. The pastor started preaching about a girl in the Bible by the name of Tamar that has been raped and misused by her very own brother and how God can take away all the hurt and pain from the past and forgive you for your sins.
"You have to be able to forgive in order to heal it takes a while it hurts but you have to forgive bring everything to the alter. You been abused, you been broken, you been misused, you felt like you was at the end, you was depressed for so long and thought you would never be happy again. God said 'come to me my children you will suffer no more.'" I felt like the message was meant for me to hear the pastor called people to the alter who want to be free so me and G went up there. The pastor prayed over us and I cried I began to see a light tinkle in my eyes even though they were closed. G grabbed my hand and pulled me close to him and hugged me then the pastor spoke again
"you two have a future ahead of you God has a plan for you but you have to keep believing you will become somebody great plans are ahead."
