The Day Of The Funeral
Justice POV
Me and my family got out of the black limo and made our way to the entrance. I grabbed Dezmond hand and his son. We all made our way down the aisle. When we reached Miracle's body, I lost it. I screamed loudly and begin to question God. I tried picking up her lifeless body but Desmond stopped me. We sat down on the first row.
I looked around and everyone was here.
I noticed some gangs that I associate with is here .
I heard a young girl start to sing . Father Can You Hear Me
"Father can you hear me
We need your love today
I know that you are listening
you hear men everyday
Father please hear us
and we will be ok
father we need you to heal families today"
I sobbed into Jerico's chest while Dezmond rubbed my back .
I couldn't take it anymore, so I excuse myself out of the church.
I walked outside and sat inside the limo.
Dezmond got inside with me .
"Baby I know this is a sad moment but you got to stay strong. You can't stress because you're pregnant. Calm down" he said hugging me
I calmed down and we walked back into the church.

"Miracle was a beautiful loving and sweet daughter, granddaughter, cousin and such more . We all will miss her, we send our condolences to her family. We will keep you in our prayers." The pastor said
We prayed , then the worker's begin to lower down her casket. I placed her favorite teddy bear on top and a dozen of roses. I wanted to leave before the fully put her body 6 feet under. I didn't want to talk to anyone at the moment. I ran to the car and just sat down and waited for everyone to leave.
.
Dezmond mom planned a dinner for my family and friends at Dezmond's house. We arrived there before everyone else. I changed into something that's comfortable. I had on sweat pants and a T-shirt that I had made, It was a picture of me and Miracle when she was first born . I put on some low cut Nike socks and slid my feet into my Nike slides. I walked out of Dezmomd's room and downstairs where everyone was at.
I sat by Dezmond and just listen to everyone who was saying "sorry for your loss" I really didn't want to hear that. People gave me gifts and money. Aden's gang gave me over 10 million dollars and it was a card inside the envelope
Dear Justice,
I'm sorry that I couldn't make it to our daughter's funeral. My EX fiance was rushed to the hospital, she had a miscarriage. She drugged herself to kill the baby. I feel stupid for leaving you for this dumb broad. I fucked up, I know I did. I just want you to find someone that's better than me. Like that dude I seen at Cheddar's. He's perfect for you. Please do not try and look for me because you will not find me anywhere. You don't have to worry about me anymore,this money is for you and the baby that's in your womb.
Sincerely, Aden
"He left the gang Justice." His right his E-Money said
"I'm sure that you have the brains and skills to run the gang. " I said hugging him
Dezmond mother announced that it was time to eat. We blessed the food and begin to eat the delicious food she made.
-
After we ate and talk for a while, people begin to leave . Leaving me,Dezmond, Jr,Dezmond mother,and my family.
"Baby girl, if you need anything just call us." My dad said hugging me.
"I'll see you later big sis" Jerico said
"Jerico, please take care of my home . I don't care who you invite unless it stays clean. I'm staying with Dezmond for a few" I said hugging him
"Okay sis. Love you"
"Love you too boo" I said
I gave everyone hugs and kisses and they left .
I sighed and walking into the living room where Dezmond and Jr was watching Real Husbands Of Hollywood . I picked up Jr and got into Dezmond's lap, and placed Jr in my lap. I closed my eyes as I laid my head on Dezmomd's shoulder
"Mommy?" Jr said
I shot my eye back open.
"What you call me?" I said
"Mommy. Daddy told me that you're my new mommy" he said
I looked at Dezmond and he was smiling
"Yes baby . I'm mommy, what you need baby?" I said kissing his cheek
"Why were you crying? Did daddy hit you? I can beat him up for you" he said
I laughed out loud.
"No baby, he didn't hit me. I'm just going through things that you not old enough to understand. " I said
"Mommy you're very beautiful, you shouldn't be frowning, you should be smiling. Daddy told me god let you go through things for a reason. You should smile even though you're hurting." He said
This little boy finna make me cry.
"I try son." I sighed
"Baby keep your head up,this is only a season for you. You'll pull through, Miracle is in a better place . God already blessed you with something,and that's the baby inside of you . You should never question God like you did today . God knows what he's doing, let him work his magic . Don't give up baby" Dezmond said
I laid my head back down thinking about what Jr and Dezmond just said .
