Nick's POV I woke up to Chantel crying in her sleep. I turned over to look at her but she wasn't responding to me. "No, no, Andre don't." She whispers while tears were running down her face. I quickly sit up and lift her up into my embrace.
"Babe, it's okay, I'm right here." She slowly opens her eyes and gives me a hug while crying. "Nightmare?" I ask.
"Yes." I hug her even tighter not wanting her to feel afraid. "I dreamed Andre came back to life and wanted to kill Angelo and you." She says while tears roll down her cheeks
"It's alright baby. I'm here with you, he can't come close to you, he doesn't exist."
"I feel so bad for doing what I did."
"Listen babe. I know you just killed a guy, but hell if you wouldn't have done it he would've killed you." I say now looking at her. She just nods and gives me a little smile. "I love you baby, okay, there's no reason for you to be afraid."
"I love you Nick." She says and falls back asleep. Then Angelo started crying. She quickly got up and got Angelo out of his crib while I made him some milk. "Okay baby, mama's here." I hear her say. She's such a great mother and woman in general. She came back to bed with Angelo and I started feeding him some milk. She quickly looked at her phone and started tearing up.
"Are you okay baby?" She nods as wipes a tear away.
"It's officially four years since my father passed away."
"Oh babe, I'm so sorry."
"No, no it's fine trust me. I've been thinking about just calling myself Chantel Gambino again."
"Why did you change it in the first place?" I ask as I stand up and rock the baby back and forth.
"Because I was talking to this girl who thought it would be better to use a "stage name." So that I don't get to recognizable, but honestly there's nothing to be afraid of anymore, people know who I am and I don't care."
"Well you can just change back, I mean it's not like you changed Jeffries to your government name."
"Yeah I know, it's true." She says. Angelo finally fell asleep so I walked him back to his crib.
Chantel's POV while Nick was putting Angelo back to bed I opened my night table drawer and looked at some old pictures of my father and I, I don't have many, but I have some. Nick walked back in and sat next to me putting his head on my shoulder. "How are you feeling?" He asks kissing my shoulder.
"I miss him. And I miss my mother too." I say as a tear rolls down my face. I give out a little sad chuckle. "You would've thought after four years the pain would numb, but I miss them so much, I just wish they were here to see their grandchild and their son in law. I mean, he was supposed to walk me down the aisle, I was his little princess." I say just feeling worse.
"Baby listen to me. I know how you feel, it's never gonna be easy unfortunately. But the only thing you can do is think back to all the good memories you guys had together. You have 18 years of memories with him." Nick says. And it was true there's not much more I could do. It's not like my tears would bring my father back. "You are so strong and you know that. Through all the pain you picked yourself up and built yourself a future." I look at him and smile before giving him a kiss.
"Thank you baby. I love you."
"I love you more." He says and kisses me again.

Year after year I think about you and my eyes immediately tear up, and every time I always think I won't have any tears left to cry, but then every time I surprise myself and start crying again. I wish you and mom were still here with me, I miss you guys so much and I could really use some advice from you guys right now ;( I'm Always going to treasure you and the memories we've made. I could count on you since day one and you always made me feel safe, even when I was little and believed there were monsters under my bed, remember that? You have a grandson now father, and I hope he gets your personality. I'm gonna tell Angelo all about his handsome and hardworking grandfather who would've loved him. I know you wouldn't want me to grief, but be happy that we have so manny good memories. I just wish I got to say goodbye before it all went down hill. There will always be a chunk of hope living in me that I'll see you one day again. In honor of my father, I'm going to change my last name back to Gambino and keep the legacy living. Thank you for everything, I love you. Long live Don A.❤️🙏🏽🕊 273 444 comments @catherinepaiz Him and Louise are looking down right now and smiling so hard at their beautiful baby girl, son in law and new grandchild.
