One Heart, Two Souls [ON HOLD]

Chapter 5

Normani

"Okay, as of right now only about 3 people haven't rsvp'd. We're going to have the gifts over here, and the guest seated here around this beautiful tree of flowers." "Wow." "I know. This is just the first step. By tomorrow you won't be able to recognize this place." "She's going to be so excited. Well Tia we'll see you tomorrow." "Alright girl." We've been planning the baby shower for a while now and tomorrow is the big day. We get to celebrate the arrival of our baby girl. Granted we can't do it how we want to but this is enough. We've invited all our family and friends. To cover up we told them Kenneth and I are the godparents. Which isn't a complete lie. "Thank you Mr. Caines." "No problem, Ms. Hamilton. Where will we be heading next?" "Home. It has been a long day." I hope this all goes by smoothly.

"Wait give me a kiss first. You know we won't be able to be close." "Big baby." I kissed her before she tried to deepen it. I already know what she's trying to pull. Them hormones have hit a certain spike within these last few weeks. "You too." See what I mean tonguing the man down. "Uh uh. Calm them nerves down. I know you don't want to be soaked around your entire family." "Fine." "Later, baby. I got you. Come on." We walked into the hall shocked. "OH MY GOD!! This is so beautiful!" Well Tia has outdone herself once again. The room was incredible. Flowers everywhere, it was elegant but simple. Kind of like a flower jungle, hence the animals. "Go ahead and mingle. We're going to be over here."

** "Normani!" "Yeah that's me." I said looking at the 3 women coming into the venue. "Oh my god!" "I know we're fine as hell right!" "Jaya!" "You're his aunts." "What she is the one staring and besides I know we fine!" "Please ignore her, Hi I am Tionne." "You are a legend." I said staring at her. "Ok now she belongs to us!" "I am sorry, please forgive me." "Girl ignore her, her bark is bigger than her bite, I am Lisa, you know Tionne and this is..." "You don't need to introduce me. I am Jayasari, Kenneth's aunt." "You came." I said shaking my head. "Why wouldn't I, he's my nephew." "I just didn't think y'all would." "Please family is everything to us, literally" she said, winking at me! "So where is my nephew?" In here." I said leading her into the baby shower. "God Da..." "I really wish you would say that." Ti said, covering Jaya's mouth. "You mess up my lipstick and you will be reapplying it." Kenneth had mentioned how crazy his aunt was, but he never mentioned who she was married too and how crazy they were together. I walked over to where Kenneth was. "Babe!" "Yeah" he said, turning around. "Auntie!" "Hey boy" she said, greeting him. We didn't see much of Kenneth's family, we knew he had some but they just weren't involved in his life as much as ours were. I could tell by the way he was smiling that he was happy to see her. "Auntie, how did you know about the shower." "We were in town on business and one of your heart beats invited us to the baby shower." "Heartbeat...you invited her" he said looking at me? "It's our baby shower and you should have family here as well." "Thank you" he said, hugging me and kissing my neck. "No problem. But you ain't tell me your aunts are celebrities!" "It slipped my mind!" "Oh I am sure it did Kenneth! I am gonna go check on the baby mama, I'll be back." "Ok" he said nodding at me as he turned back to his aunts.    

Kenneth

"She's pretty!" "Real Pretty." They said looking at me after Mani left. "She really is. This is definitely a surprise though, didn't even know you three were in town." "You know how we make moves!" "Yeah Low key and with lots of security!" "That's facts, nephew you know we can never be to precautious." "This is nice, real nice who did the shower?" "This is all Mani, I just swiped the card." I said laughing watching them come towards us. "Speaking of my loves. This is Dinah." "Wow, he really is your nephew." Li said. "He's got good taste I see." These three right here. "Babe these are my aunts Tionne, Lisa and Jayasari." "It's nice to meet y'all." "You as well! Are all these people your family?" "Yes ma'am but this is only half. The rest are in Tonga." "Oh you're Tongan! That's a beautiful country. I love the culture." "You know about Tonga?" she said with a wide eyed expression! "Mhm I have a good friend from there and plus that's where we took one of our 3 honeymoons." "3! Yall had 3 honeymoons!" "We sure did and loved every single one of them too." Auntie Li said smiling. "ʻoku ke ʻofa ʻi hoku ʻilamutu Dinah?" "Come again!" "You speak Tongan correct?" Auntie Jaya said with a raised eyebrow. "Umm...its been a while." Dinah said nervously. "Well you gotta brush up on it if the baby is going to speak it as well." "She knows babe?" Dinah said looking at me. "Of course she does, why you think she just travels with them, we have a lot in common." "We sure do nephew we love beautiful women." she said laughing. "She's the one that gave me the idea of this relationship. I didn't know how I could do it if it wasn't for her." "Well I'm glad you gave him the idea. I couldn't see our future any other way." Mani said hugging me. "It's the best of both worlds, isn't that right nephew!" "It sure is." "Dinah" her mom said, waving her over. "I'll be right back. "Y'all can sit with us on this side." I said pulling out their seats for them. "Such the gentleman." Titi said chuckling. "He better be, he knows I'll get in that ass." "Jaya what am I gonna do with you and your mouth?" TIti said. "Mmm I know a few things that you can do with it." "Not the time Jaya...and definitely not the place, got these folks looking at us like we crazy." "Oh please, they ain't stuntin us, they too worried about that baby and I am assuming who the father is." She said looking at me. Mani and I both looked away. "Huh here I come Mama Drea. Excuse me ladies."
