"Mommy! Mommy!" The little bundle of joy screamed, making Imari turn towards her bubbly son as he ran up to her."Awe you otay, mommy?" (Are you okay, mommy?) Her son, Youseff, asked in his baby words.
Imari nodded her head before looking at the tomb in front of her. "I missed you.. so much." She whispered.
Youseff frowned. He doesn't understand what's happening but he doesn't want his mommy sad and crying.
"Mommy.. I wuv you." (Mommy, I love you.) Youseff uttered with a slight pout and tears brimming in the corner of his eyes.
Imari turned to him when she heard the tone of his loving son. "Honey, why are you crying?"
Youseff shook his head and lightly scratched his eyes to wipe his tears. "Me dow want mommy tad." (Me don't want mommy sad) He said fully sobbing, making Imari chuckled out of the cuteness of his own son.
The sadness is forgotten as she now comforts her baby boy, who was crying because his mommy is sad.
She looked at the tomb in front of her once again, shaking her head with a slight smile on her face. "I wish you're here to meet him, you would love him so much."
Imari heard a footstep and suddenly, warm arms wrapped around her and Youseff as the three of them were now engulfed in a group hug.
'Baby.. why is my other baby crying?' Imari read.
Imari smiled knowingly as she put Youseff down and turned around to hug her husband, Beau.
Years have passed after the incident, making Imari torn and broken when she heard the news that Beau was in a coma.
"Why don't you ask him?" Imari giggled before picking up Youseff and pecking his cheeks repeatedly.
Beau laughed quietly at the sight of his son with tears dripping on his cheeks. 'Hmm? Why is my Youseff crying?'
"Cause mommy tad!" (Cause mommy sad!) Youseff frowned as he huffed and crossed his arms. "Me dow want mommy tad, daddy! Kiss mommy!" (Me don't want mommy sad, daddy! Kiss mommy!) Their delighted son chanted as he clapped his hands.
Beau turned to Imari before kissing her forehead. "Let's go?"
Imari nodded and she looked back one last time. "We will visit you another time, Ada. I'll make sure to bring Bettina with me next time."
And with that, they left the cemetery with peace.
After she heard about what happened with Beau, she also heard about the tragic incident with Ada that caused her life. She was so devastated and almost ended her own.
The two important people in her life were almost gone, making her depressed and unable to function properly.
Especially when she saw the ring Beau was supposed to give her that day. Imari felt like the world was against her.
However, weeks have passed when she has known the biggest news in her life that made her fight through the hardest situation she was in.
Imari was pregnant and she can't thank Christine enough when she found her lying in the bathroom, lifeless.
She knew that moment she needed to stay strong, for her baby, for their baby.
'Baby? You're zoning out again.' Beau said as they drove back home.
"Sorry, I was just thinking about something.." Imari muttered before she looked back and saw Youseff sleeping with his mouth slightly open.
They both chuckled at the sight of their son, their hearts filled with warmth.
'Do you want to visit mom and dad first? They would love to see Youseff.' Beau asked his wife and quickly turned left when Imari nodded.
Beau thought of all that happened. He thought the incident years ago would end his life, he couldn't be more thankful when he was given another chance to live his life with own his family now.
"Mommy! Daddy!" They heard their son suddenly whined.
Beau and Imar turned around when they were parked outside the Toricelli's house.
They saw their son grinning before doing a sign language that blossomed the love out of their heart.
'I love you both.' It said.
