Marneeka George just turned 16 when her grandmother rescued her from her drug addicted mother. Marneeka is a good child until she runs with the wrong crowd and get caught up in a web of secrets and lies.
Marcus and I are decorating for Serenity's 1st birthday and planning a birthday party is hard.
"Baby, can you grab them party bags out the car" Marcus asked coming in the house with all the food.
I went into the garage to get the party bags.
"Where my great grand baby" Big mama said getting out her car.
"Big Mama" I smiled and went to hug her.

Marcus sold his house and we moved 2 hours away so I barely get to see Big Mama with college and work.
"Hey Ms. Gertrude" Marcus said coming back out to the car to grab more stuff.
"He is never going to call me Big Mama" she whispered to me.
We both laughed and couldn't stop hugging each other.
To see Big Mama smiling is amazing. After Jade was killed by Roy she has been blaming herself and when I would talk to her she would seem sad but I'm glad her seeing me has lifted her spirits.
"I'm so proud of you Marneeka. You may have gotten pregnant young but you didn't let it stop you. You made it baby" she said.
"Nana" Serenity came stumbling around the corner.

Big mama yelled in excitement "Ah she walking".
We all laughed and she went to pick Serenity up. She hugged her and held on to her tight.
"Neek, I wasn't the best mama to Jade but I'm happy God let me get a do over with you.
"Baby, let's get everything ready" Marcus said.
The party had started and all of our friends were there. I was happy to see Isabella came with her boyfriend.
"Hola!! Where is my God baby" Isabella came in screaming wobbling with her big belly.
I ran to hug her and rub her belly. We were so happy to see each other.
"No more babies Neek" Isabella asked.
"We just got to a good spot with each other. I think we can wait for a while." I responded looking at Marcus mingle and have fun. It was the first time I ever noticed him smiling.

"Well you look happy, and look at this house" she said looking around in amazement.
"I was blessed with a smart inmate" I joked.
Marcus walked out singing Happy Birthday to Serenity holding her cake. She was smiling and Marcus sat it on the table with her smash cake in front of her. She blew out her candles and was having a ball with the smash cake.
"I love you Marneeka George" Marcus whispered in my ear.
"I love you too" I said to him smiling. I got on my tip toes and kissed him.
We were all enjoying each other when someone started banging at the door.

Marcus went to answer the door and it was the police.
"Marcus Bryant, you are under arrest for dwelling in narcotics and the murder of Ralph Guiterrez" the officer said.
I ran to Marcus side
"What is going on Marcus" I yelled.
"Call my lawyer. I'm innocent baby." He said before they put him in the car.
Big mama took Serenity in the back so she wouldn't see Marcus get arrested.
I ended the party and just wanted to be alone. Big mama took Serenity for the night to give me some alone time.
I kept thinking about Isabella's question about having more kids. I didn't tell Marcus my period is late because we really have been getting better and I didn't want any drama.
I got up to check the test and it was positive. I just stood in the shower crying. I can not do this again by myself.
