Family Man

Epilogue

Another month had passed and Michael and Teesha were finally focusing on their marriage. It took a lot of therapy and soul searching before they were finally able to bury some of the things their marriage suffered. That night of Kimbra's complete confession saved Jesse as well. Had the truth of his involvement been known he would have lost his badge and also done time for being an accessory after the fact. Michael wanted to press charges against Kimbra, but Teesha fought against it. After talking it over,Teesha felt like Kimbra seeing the love that Michael had for her was punishment enough. Michael couldn't help,but to agree with his wife and move forward. Jesse was thankful and helpled Kimbra go back to her roots and paid for therapy out of gratitude for what she did to exclude him from the crime. The night of the confession they rode in silence all the way to her suite, and once they arrived there and parked he exhaled a deep sigh of relief thanking her. He also stressed that if she needed anything to call him, which she did several weeks later. The night Kimbra left Michael's and Teesha's home was the very last time she ever saw them again. Jesse was fortunate and grateful that he still remained in his daughters life when things could've turned out for the worst for him. He and Michael still bumped heads from time to time, but learned how to play nice for Teesha's sake.

Some nights later Michael and Teesha lay in bed panting from their second round of love making. They had found that love that was lost in each other and was making up for lost time. Her head lay on his chest as his fingertips laced up her arms. "I can't believe that Le'Lani didn't make here nightly appearance. She's every bit of her father's daughter. "Teesha giggled. "We made a deal. One cup cake before bed if she stayed asleep all night." He celebrated. "You're bribing my baby."she hit his arm playfully as he leaned up on his elbow. "I did. I needed my wife tonight. The last time we made love was over a month ago. Not making love to you has killed me. But I understood,baby. Thank you for being the most loving woman in the world. I've messed so much I don't see how you love me."he confessed. She smiled lifting her head up to  kiss his lips. "We've had a rough year ,but I never stopped for one second loving you. You're my husband, my rock, my life and you're our Family Man. We need you Michael ,and so will your son or daughter we created over a month ago when we last made love." She grinned profusely as Michael cupped her face in his hands kissing her in the most romantic way.
