His Miracle (Completed)

Chapter 11 (continued)

August

Once I sobered up, I thought about what A'leah said. Maybe I was too hard on my mama.

"August..it's me..Sheila. Can I come in?" She asked.

"Come on in mama." She let herself in and sat beside me on the bed. It's been a minute since I seen her.

"So wassup?"

"August I just wanna ap-"

"Ma you ain't gott-"

"Boy don't you interrupt me. You kno' betta than that." She corrected. I held my hands up in defense, lettin' her finish.

"As a mother, I done fucked up real bad when it came ta' my kids. Trust me, I've been payin' fa' it for a while now. The biggest mistake I ever made was puttin' a man befo' you.

From da bottom of my heart, I sincerely apologize ta' ya baybeh boy. When Trav contacted me, I saw dat as a blessing from God.

After I treated you horribly, he took yall outta my life to make me realize that I'a was wrong fa' treating yall tha' way I did. He sent yall back ta' me when he felt as though I'ca be the a mama ta' yall.

I done learned my lesson August. I'a just hope you find it in ya heart ta' forgive me. I had to make things right wit' my babies, I just had ta'."

My eyes started ta' water just a lil bit. I'a was never cryin' in front of ma' dukes. No matter what I went thru growin' up, I stayed strong.

"I done forgave you already mama. No matter whatchu did ta' me, I still loved ya no matter what. I apologize fa' callin' you by ya government. Dat ain't coo' at all. I was just upset ya kno'? But you tryin' fa' a pimp so we can rock wit' it." She playfully pushed me and laughed.

"Boy you ain't kno' pimp."

"You woulda neva thought ma." She rolled her eyes.

"How could you be a pimp wit' dat pretty lil thang downstairs. She looks familiar."

"She a Seoul mama, memba' her family helped us when Katrina hit."

"Oh yeah. Now I recognize her. You ain't pay her ta' be witchu now did ya?" I frowned.

"Mama who told you dat shit. I mean ish." She laughed.

"Travis. He said she felt sorry fa' ya. Ion't kno'. He a trip just like you." I sucked my teeth.

"Man anyway. Leah sumn special ma. I dropped all my hoes just fa' her." She smiled. Then I tol' her bout all da sacrifices my baybeh made fa' me. Ma dukes seemed pretty impressed.

"Listen hea' boy, if a woman done sacrificed all she had just ta' be witchu she a keeper. How long yall been togetha'?"

"Three years. It'll be four in two days." I smiled while puttin' a shirt on.

"I'm glad you happy son, but chu' owe her an apology fa' snappin' on her like dat. She meant well and you just went off on her." I nodded and sighed. When you mad you don't think. I'a never snapped on my baybeh like dat. Ever.

"I kno', but befo' we go downstairs I'a gotta tell you sumn mama." She shook her head.

"What is it boy?"

"Mama I luhhhh yuhhh. Pimp squad baybeh!" She laughed and waved me off.

"P.O.P , holdin' it dahnnn!"

We busted out laughin' and got off da bed. I pulled her into a bear hug, squeezin' ha tight as we walked outta da room.

One down one ta' go
