Baby We Got This

Chapter XI

Juliette

"By the power invested in me under the state of Georgia, I now pronounce you man and wife. May you abide by the oath you have taken before God and your loved ones. Your journey will be hard,but as long as God is present there will forever be a journey. You may now kiss the bride."

Giovanni leaned over and we kissed. Cameras flashed and people hollered. We held hands as we walked down the steps of the church and into the black lincoln town car waiting out front.

We couldn't keep our hands to ourselves as we rode to the reception hall. Lucky my hair was down and curled so it wasn't to noticeable of what we just indulged in.

"I present to you Mr. and Mrs. Giovanni Issa." DJ Baby Drew yelled through the mic.

We walked in as Bands A Make Her Dance Played. These wedding bands had me jigging. Everybody joined us on the dance floor and congratulated us. We had the father-daughter dance and all that.

We were all eating when I heard my boys get on the mic, "Dang Ace come on." Axle was looking down at his brother.

"You ready?" Axle looked at both of them.

They nodded. "Yesh" The crowd broke out in laughter.

Axle began to speak, "Thank everybody for coming out and supporting my mom and her new husband. Ma you are really the best mama in the world. Well except you don't whoop the twins enough cause tey bad. But fareal mom i love you, and Gio i love you too cause you make my mama happy. Like she was happy before you, but now it's like a new happiness. I know you could never replace my dad, but for my mom is another thing. Speaking of daddy." 

He turned in the crowd towards KT. "Columbia's coming out dad. You got me right?"

KT held his drink up in agreement. The crowd broke out in laughter again.

"But on a real note thank you Giovanni for coming in and making her happy. Even when yall fight she wont sleep until you come home. Thats real love. I pray that some day I can experince what you all have." He looked at the twins "yall got something to say."

Aiden took the mic and held up his juice cup. "To mommy and daddy!"

Axle snatched the mic. "Mama and daddy not getting married stupid! To mama and Gio."

The crowd held up their glasses. "To Juliette and Giovanni."

Our wedding continued. We went home that night. Giovanni actually flew out to New York for some quick business at the law firm up there. I was going to fly up there in the morning to meet him, and from there we would fly to the Dominican Republic for our honeymoon.

I took a deep breath and collided we my pillow.

..............

I pulled up my shades as I strutted into the office. This law firm was way bigger and busier than the one in Atlanta. And the one in Atlanta has about two thousand cases coming through there a week.

I rocked a black tank top with my lite colored skinny jeans. I wore it with my red and white nike griffeys. I let my hair hang down onto my back.

"Good Aternoon Mrs. Issa and congratulations. Your husband is down the hall in conference room number 3." The floor assistant informed me.

I agreed and proceeded into the room. When I opened the door everyone was sitting around a great mahogany table. The room fell silent as I walked in. I eased in the chair next to Giovanni.

"Hey babe. Our flight is in four hours so come on lets get moving." I looked at Giovanni.

He locked eyes with his dad and turned to me. "Okay baby we can't leave until you sign this."
