The Truth About Us

Another Talk

Joymya's POV

"No! Daddy, don't go! I love you."

I wake up crying. Jessica comes to the rescue. She hugs me and rocks me back to sleep as I cry.

"Can you take me to mommy's room?"

"Yep. Come on." I hold her hand. Mommy's asleep, so I just curl up in her arms and fall asleep again.
"I love you, Daddy."
.....
"Mommy wake up!" Mommy doesn't wake, so I keep poking her.

When her eyes open, she smiles at me.

"Hey Joy. Are you hungry?"

"Yeah."

Diamond's POV

I get up and fix dinner for us. After eating, Joy and I sit outside, rubbing my stomach.

"I saw Daddy in my dream. He had big white wings and a big head."

"Did he say anything to you?"

"Yes. He said to take care of you and the little ones while he's gone. That he loves us. Then he floated away. I woke up crying."

I hug her close to me. "Let's have another talk."

"I already know. Daddy's in heaven with Danette." I have tears in my eyes, looking at her. She hugs me and I hug her. The baby kicks.

"Don't worry little ones, I'll tell you all about Daddy! He's an angel now, but I'll show you the ropes!"

I giggle and sniffle at the same time. "Joy, do you want some juice?"

"Yes."

The phone rings. " Hi. Yeah. I'll be there in a few."

Jamal's mom what's to have the funeral planned for next Saturday.

"Come on, Princess. Let's go to Grandma's house."

"Yay!"

When we arrive and get out of the car, Ms. Michelle stops short and looks at my stomach.

"About time child, but damn the kids won't get to know him like Joy did."

"Hi Grandma." She looks at Joymya and smiles.

"Your Gramps has a train station set up, go check it out." Joy runs around the house until she finds Charles.

Ms. Michelle, do you have a layout already?"

"Yes. Let's go to the kitchen and talk." We sit at the table and discuss the funeral and burial.

"How are you holding up?" She asked.

"I've been crying and sleeping. You?"

"I cry just looking at your wedding photos and pictures of you, Joy, and him." We hug each other and continue to talk.

"Mommy, I found some Gummy Bears!!!!" Joymya brings me a bag of Gummy Bears. I laugh.

"How'd you know?"

"You're gummy mom. You're always getting back up. Just like when I said squeeze the gummy bear, it always comes back up, slowly, but it does."

"Kiddos, we have a Gummy Bear for a mom."

Joymya is something else.

Joymya's POV

"Mommy. Can we go to Sonic and get a slush?"

She looks at me with new tears in her eyes. I hug her and rub her tummy. "Daddy says it's okay. You're gonna be fine, Mommy."

I feel a baby kick and smile.
