Six Years Later

Today's the day me and Raheem shared our wedding vows. I am currently in the kitchen looking at my husband and four children out of the window in the back yard playing. The twins are now six, Rozal's 8 and baby Romaine Aaron Jackson is 1 years old. We didn't plan Romaine it just happened and Rah was beyond excited. We've been married for three years now. We decided that it would be best if we wait and not rush anything.

Everybody's coming over today to celebrate and have a barbeque in the backyard. The doorbell interrupted my thoughts. As soon as I opened the door Malay ran into my arms. I guess she missed me. Malay and Nigel just got married last year. Baby Nathan is Nigel's child and their being blessed with a baby girl. Their planning on naming her Natalia.

''Hello. Earth to Mani''. Malay said snapping her fingers in my face.

''Get them shit out my face. Nigel baby''. I greeted Nigel with a kiss and hug, before he took off with Nathan and head to the back with Rah. Malay went in the kitchen I guess to finish cook. Before I got to close the door my parents,grandparents, Kalayjah and Rah's mother Patrice came in. I greeted everyone and they went their separate ways.

The women in the kitchen, the men in the backyard and the kids in the pool. Rah joined the NFL and I'm a lawyer. It was always his dream, but he didn't want to do it anymore. With a little push from me my baby made it and I'm proud of him. When ever him and Nigel have to leave Malay and Nathan stays with me and the kids.

''Mani, you and Rah shouldn't be here. Y'all should be out and celebrating''. Mama Pat said. Me and Rah decided that this is how we want to celebrate our anniversary.

''We like this way better''. I said. Just after I said that the doorbell rang. Nicole and Kameron were standing in front of me. I greeted them and Kam went to the backyard and Nicole followed me in the kitchen.

''Nicole. Baby your glowing''. Nana Rose said and everyone turned their attention to Nicole and she really is glowing. Her and Kameron were the last to tie the knot. They got married Five months ago. Kameron owns his own clothing store And Nicole is a teacher. Malay owns a kids clothing store.

''I'm pregnant''. Nicole shouted. Everyone congratulated her. Kameron had to go through a lot with her parents but he finally got to them. My support group, my family. I couldn't ask for anything better. After finishing up in the kitchen we all headed outside.

I felt little hands on my legs and when I looked down. I saw my little curly head baby. Romaine and Raheem looks just alike. Rah's trying to get him and Isaiah into football like him, but I don't want him to pressure them. I want my children to pick their own career paths, so they can be happy with it.

''Mama, hungy''. Romaine said. I picked him up and carried him over to Nana Rose and asked her if she can feed him for me and of course she accepted. I love my grandparents. I went and stand by the back door and looked at everyone and just smile.

''You think we can get away without anyone noticing''. A deep husky voice whispered in my ear and I knew it was my husband. I nodded my head yes and we carefully backed our way out the backyard, grab one car keys and drove to the nearest but yet fanciest hotel.

Of course we had to hide from paparazzi and fans. As soon as we made it to our hotel room we couldn't keep our hands off of each other. ''Happy Anniversary Baby''. Rah said in between kisses and I repeated the same thing to him.

I Kimani Zoila Evans Jackson will be enjoying the pleasure my husband Raheem Aden Jackson is about to make me Receive. Maybe we'll create baby number five. Wink wink.
