4 Years Later

Layla's POV -

"Zamari ? Come on Baby Get ya bags .... Hurry up!" God we got exactly 1 hour & 20 minutes before he come back home .. I knew I should have packed her stuff myself ."ZAMARI , WHATS TAKING YOU SO LONG?!" "Ma , Im coming !" Lawdd if i wasn't in a rush i'd check her bad butt . I swear she kills me with that mouth of hers 3 years old going on 16 , but she's still the only family I got . "You should have been ready , I told you along time ago too pack !" I yelled as I zipped up my last Suit case & grabbed my purse checking to make sure our plane tickets , Passports , and Medicine is in it . I reached for my turquoise blanket my grandma knitted me awhile back and Mari's inhaler and stuffed it into my purse also .

We getting outta here today ! Life's to short to keep applying make up over every new bruise I get from Kevin . He says its outta love but as much as I want love WE don't need his type of love . Yes I said we . Im pregnant with his baby . God forbid something happens to he or she before he/she meets Zamari and I .

"Ma , I'm Ready" she said as she pulled her gucci Luggage down the stairs . "Right behind Ya , The cab driver is outside already waiting" I Said as I walked the last step to lock the front door of HIS house and handed the driver my luggage . Once settled I told the driver the destination we were headed and Laid my head against the window letting all my thoughts take over for the moment .

20 Minutes Later we were at the airport. We went through security and made our way to the airplane and into our first class seats I held Mari's hand tight as we made our way down the Isle 643...645... and 647 . "Okay Mari get comfortable we got a 10 hour flight until we'll finally have another chance at being happy again , and its just gone be you, me, and Nootie for awhile so I need you to stay on your best behavior and never leave my side. You can do that right"? She smiled as she replied "Yes mommy" in her cute innocent 3 year old voice . "Mari , You'll never know how much I Love you" I said as I kissed her Caramel nose and she slowly started making her way to sleep.

Gosh Seems like everyday she looks more and more like her father. I juss wish we hadn't made her how we did . Only the good lord knows how much I wish she could have gotten to at least meet her daddy . Smh , I never even seen him again after that night or when I went back to my aunts to try and find him and tell him about me being pregnant . Mostly beecause I only knew or well REMEMBERED his name was Marcus King and how he looked .

Sad to say but its the truth .

It was just another mistake out of the many that had already accured . The only good thing about that mistake was that I got my baby Zamari Nycole King the only good thing in my life besides My granny. I remember when I was 16 going on 17 my mom decided to overdose on drugs leaving me with my granny who took care of me even on her death bed then she just died leaving me with my aunt who HATES the air I breathe and to make it worse not even a year after I moved to texas with her I made another mistake that turned into a blessing .

A blessing that keeps me breathing everyday . As a Flight attendant walked past I stopped her "Ma'am"? I asked as I slightly examined her . She had big black Eyebrows that looked drawn on a Big hairy mole on the top of her lip & Way to much makeup I'm assuming too make her look younger because she had to be about 45 , maybe older .

"How may I help you she asked"? "Could you tell me the time"? She rolled her eyes "4:15 ." Anything else ma'am"? "Yes , Loose the attitude . Thank you " I replied . She rolled her eyes making sure too move them bushes she calls eyebrows up for emphasis & walked away to the next person . I shook my head time for a nap . Lord knows I need one dealing with her for the rest of this flight .
