My Baby

Clover- i do

I sat on the bed of the hotel room and laid with Loyalty. "Momma are you excited" she asked. "Yes girl. This is what I've always dreamed of" I said playing with her hair. "Shouldn't you be getting ready" she asked. "Yes come on. Where is Saniya" I asked sitting up. "With Heavenly getting breakfast" she said. I went to the restroom and when I came back all the girls and babies were in the room. "Well hello" I laughed. "Come on girl we gotta get you ready" Paris said. I sat in the chair as she did my hair. Heavenly cut on some music as she got her boys ready. I watched as Loyalty got Saniya ready. She cried the whole time because she wanted me. Once her dress was on I picked her up. "You gotta be good for Lo Niya" I said as I did her ponytail. She is two now and I might have spoiled her. "Eat" she said. "No you're going to mess up your pretty dress. Can I take a picture" I asked putting her down. She went to the window and wouldn't look at me.

"You still look pretty Niya" I said as Paris finished my hair. "Makeup" Nae said and turned me around. "How you feeling" Paris asked. "Scared. What if I get too scared and don't know what to say? What if Destin gets scared and leaves me at the alter? What if I fall" I asked and got instantly terrified. "Hey. Stop. None of that is going to happen" Paris said. I picked up my phone and called Destin on speaker.

"Hello" he said. "Hey uhh I was just calling to see if you still like me" I said looking at the phone as he laughed. "Girl you are the apple of my eye. You give me a reason to wake up and be great. You are the most beautiful woman I have ever seen inside and out. I can't picture my life without you and I really don't want to. You are proof that God still loves me and that's why I love you" he said making me cry. "Come on now I just did your makeup" Nae said. "Sorry" I cried dabbing my eyes with a tissue. "Stop crying girl. Save all that for later" Destin said. "I'm trying" I laughed. "Ight I'll see you at the alter. I gotta go baby" Destin said. "Bye baby" I said as the phone hung up. "How y'all end up back in the cupcake phase" Heavenly asked. "I have no idea. Everything has just been falling into place" I said as Nae fixed my makeup.

Once everyone else was ready and I had everything done it was time to put on my dress. I stood in front of the mirror as Paris and Nae helped me put my dress on. Nae zipped me up and Paris put my veil on. Then there was a knock on the door. Paris opened the door for Jason and Chris. "Uh it's time to go everyone" Paris said grabbing Saniya. Everyone left and I was left with Jason and Chris. "You look good girl" Jason said spinning me around. "I'm so nervous" I said. "Don't be you'll do great" Chris said. "But we better get you down there" Jason said. We left the room and walked to the elevator. "Thank you guys for walking me down the aisle" I said as we got on the elevator. "Thank you for letting us" Jason said. "Jason thank you for stepping up and adopting me. You treated me like a princess from the very first day and have given me the world. You are the best dad a girl could ever wish for. I love you" I said then pulled him into a hug. "Chris thank you for rescuing me from the shed. If it wasn't for you I wouldn't be here. You could have adopted me but you had your own problems. I love that you cared enough about me to let me continue my journey to Jason. You are the stepdad I never knew I needed. I love you" I said hugging Chris before we got off the elevator. "I love you more Clover and I'm extremely proud of you for continuing to follow your dreams" Chris said as we got to the wedding. I looked through the small window at all the people that came. "Holy shit" I whispered as I watched the wedding party walk the aisle. "Well it's your turn" Jason said holding his arm out as Chris handed me my flowers and covered my face. I hooked their arms and stood at the entrance. As Destin saw me his face lit up. He covered his mouth as everyone stood up. I saw him wiping his eyes which meant he was crying and that made me smile.
