The day is finally here!!!! Beyoncé's getting out of jail. Right now Josiah and I are getting ready to go pick her and I couldn't be happier. Last night I packed the car with our bags to make sure I didn't forget anything this morning. Little does Beyoncé know we're going  straight to Cuba to pick up Alex. After getting myself dressed I put a jacket on Josiah and carried him out to the car. I made sure his seat was secure and gave him his favorite toy, sippy cup, snack and blanket to occupy him on the trip.

"You ready to see mama baby boy?" I asked looking through the rear view mirror as I backed out the driveway.

"Momma!!." He replied kicking his legs. I couldn't help but smile the entire drive. I never thought this day would come so soon. We were finally going to be a family. My soon to be wife and our two kids. I was doing a smooth 95 on the highway trying to make it to the jail on time. We were a bit early so I scrolled through social media until I heard the prison bus approach the gate.

I watched closely as the guards escorted her off the bus and to the gate. Slowly the gates were open and just like that my baby was free. She wore a pair of black jeans with a cream colored Chanel shirt. Her hair fell down her back carelessly bouncing with every step.

"Mama!!!" Josiah yelled once I rolled his window down. When she reached the car she opened the back door attacking Jojo with hugs and kisses. Closing the door she got in the front seat and I couldn't help myself. I grabbed her by the face kissing her the way I've been thinking of for months.

"I've missed you so much." I said in a low husky voice. Our faces barely inches apart.

"I can tell." Beyoncé smiled with her bottom lip tucked between her teeth. I missed hearing that sweet southern voice.

"I have a surprise for you babe." I said pulling out the parking lot.

"What?" She asked scrolling on her phone.

"So we aren't going home. We're going to Cuba." I said in an upbeat tone.

"We're getting Alex?" She asked a bit excited but more so nervous.

"Mhm and then we're moving to California." I mumbled stopping at a red light.

"Did you just say we're moving to California?" She asked connecting her phone to the car charger.

"Yea baby with the magazine taking off and all the trouble surrounding us in New York I think California can give us a fresh start." I explained as I traveled down the road.

"You could have told me earlier or asked my opinion." She's right but I was only doing what was best for our family.

"You're right. I'm sorry." I apologized placing my hand on her thigh. The rest of our drive was peacefully quiet with minor noises from Josiah. Once we reached the airport I helped put the bags on the plane while Beyoncé boarded with Josiah. During the plane ride I mainly worked on business while Beyoncé hogged Josiah all to herself. A few hours into the flight Beyoncé and Josiah fell asleep. They were so cute. I climbed in bed to join them until the plane arrived in Cuba.

"Ma'am we'll be landing shortly." The pilot announced over the intercom

"Baby come on we're here." I whispered in her ear while patting her butt. Slowly she got up stretching out and changing Josiah before the plane landed.

"Why you so quiet." I didn't think Beyoncé would be this mad at me.

"Do you think she'll like me?" Beyoncé asked as we were getting in the car.

"Of course. Just be yourself." I ensured her with a kiss on the lips. It's almost like Alexis knew we were talking about her because she FaceTime me.
