Epilogue
3 months later
The family was all situated at the Washington home for Reese's baby shower. She was in her 8 month of pregnancy and her mother Carmena agreed to host the shower. Carmena after getting multiple offers for the house decided that she couldn't sell the home where her children grew up. She came to the conclusion that she needed the space for her future grandchildren.
The women oohed and awed as Reese opened up gifts and presents. Reagan was sitting beside her grabbing the open gifts and organizing them to make it easier once Reese and Damon were ready to go home. Reagon was sporting her own little baby bump under a sundress. Of course Liam was happy that they were having a baby but Reagan still refused to marry him.
Damon, Liam, Mr. Washington and most of the men were outside handling the barbecue grill.
Corey and Raye were the only ones missing from the groups but it was for a good reason. Raye wasn't feeling well and Corey was trying his best to ease her discomfort.
Raye had her head over the toilet releasing her breakfast and lunch from earlier. She couldn't keep anything in her stomach. Corey rubbed her back and apologized. "I'm sorry baby. I wish I could do it for you."
They found out last week that were expecting and the morning sickness quickly followed. It was a complete shock and Raye wasn't completely ready to be a parent but she knew that she had Corey and her family so it helped ease her fears.
They lived still lived in Orlando and she was almost out of the entertainment business. They never completed a interview regarding the mess with Jayda and Heather. Corey didn't feel the need to press charges because multiple men were coming out claiming that Jayda had drugged them in the past. She was arrested and is currently waiting trial. Heather lost her talk show amd was divorced by her husband. He ended up marrying one of his mistresses. Raye didn't have any remorse for either of the women.
Now that she was pregnant, Corey didn't want her to work at all. Raye didn't mind not working but still wanted to focus on her charity work. She didn't want to be a part of that world anymore. It wasn't who she was. She loved being home taking care of their new house and having dinner ready for Corey. She was still learning how to cook and sometimes she would burn the food or add to much seasoning but Corey still ate it. In Raye's eye he was perfect. She no longer spoke to Sebastian. She couldn't forgive him for sending Corey the divorce papers. Last she heard, Sebastian was officially dating his assistant. From the few pictures she saw online it looked like he was happy.
Raye flushed the toilet and sat on her bottom and leaned against the wall. Corey grabbed a towel and wiped her mouth. "Isn't pregnancy supposed to be beautiful?"
Corey laughed. "It is. The books said that the morning sickness should go away after the first trimester.
Raye groaned. That meant 4 more weeks. "This is all your fault."
"No baby this is your fault. I told you that I didn't have any condoms and you still hoped on the d*ck. You can't blame me."
"You could have pushed me off"
Corey cocked his head to the side. "If I start pushing you off of me, we have some bigger issues," he said with a small chuckle.
Raye didn't find it funny. She stood and straightened her clothing out. Corey stood behind and wrapped his arms around her flat stomach. He couldn't believe that his baby was growing inside of her. "Are you ready to tell everyone?"
She shook her head. "No. Let Reese her have day. We can tell them later."
"I wonder how your dad is going to take it. His baby is having a baby."
Raye placed her hands over Corey's. She looked in the bathroom and liked what she saw. Her husband wrapped around her with his head on her shoulders.
A month after he proposed, they had a small wedding in the backyard of her parents house followed by a two week honeymoon in Europe. After returning she and Corey purchased a home in Orlando for more space. She didn't expect that one of the five bedrooms would be used as a baby room. Everything between them was going right. She loved him and was in love with him. She couldn't see her life without him.
She turned and placed her arms around his neck. "I think daddy is going to be fine with it. He told me a while ago that he wanted me happy and I am. I love you Corey."
They shared a kiss. "I love you too."

Reese had his daughters and their husbands in his home and he couldn't be happier. They were sitting outside near the pool while he was on the deck cleaning the grill. The baby shower was over and most of the people were gone but his girls decided that they were going to stay the night. He didn't mind it. He couldn't remember the last time all of his girls stayed at his home. It was probably when they were teenagers.
God gave him three beautiful girls that would provide him three sons through marriage. It was true, he loved Damon, Liam and Corey and believed they were perfect men for his daughters.
Carmena came and stood near her husband. "So do you regret it?" she whispered. She didn't want the kids to overhear her.
"Meme how long have you known me? I don't regret anything."
"So cancelling Raye's room reservation was the only way to get what you wanted?"
Reese scrunched his face. "Okay so it wasn't the best idea and caused a lot of havoc but look at the end result. Our baby is happy. All of our babies are happy."
Carmena hugged Reese's side and looked at their children. "I agree. You know she's pregnant right?"
He laughed. "Yeah I know. Our three daddy's girls are all grown up and becoming mothers. It makes me feel old."
"Because we are Reese Pieces. We're going to be grand parents in a few weeks."
Reese and Mena shared a kiss. He never loved a woman the way he love Carmena. It was that love that created his girls. "I love you."
"Love you too."
Reese and Carmena went and sat with the girls and their husbands. This is what life was about spending time with family.
