Chapter 40

6 months later.

"Hello, guys, what's happening with the food?" I started asking the people in the back.

"People have been here for atleast an hour and I haven't seen any servers go out with the food, what's happening?" I said getting annoyed. The wedding was going so well but these staff members for the reception were moving like they didn't know how to do their job.

"We're sorry about that miss, we had some mishaps happen during preparation" I quirked my eyebrow. "Mishaps?!"

"Yes miss but it's all sorted out now and we will begin serving now" as he said that the servers were heading out the kitchen with the food.

I got the whiff of it and immediately became nauseous. Not wanting to be disrespectful, I started to head out. "Hey girl is everything okay-" I cut her off nodding "yea don't worry about it, the servers are about to serve the food now"

She shook her head "no mama, I'm talking about you" she narrowed her eyes at me. "Are you good?"

"Mhmm" I said as another server passed up with food that made the gag come back. I immediately find my way to the bathroom to throw up.

Once I rushed in, I immediately threw up in the nearest toilet.

"Dammit" I mumbled. I flushed it and turned around to a grinning Rebecca.

"What?" She shrugged "so you not gon tell me?"

I side eyed her "Tell you what?" I asked playing confused.
Then she gave me a 'girl please' look.
"okay, so maybe im pregnant" We both squealed in the bathroom.

"Girl when did you find out?! And why am I only finding out now?"

"Last night actually"

"August was knocked out, so I just took the opportunity to check but girl the nausea been kicking my butt as of lately" she nodded smiling.

"What'd he say?" I went quiet. Yeah about that..

"Nigga, you ain't told him yet?" I shook my head and sighed "truth is as much as I'm excited about it I'm nervous"

"Nervous about what?" I shrugged not wanting to even say it. "My album is literally about to drop in a few days..." I said but immediately stopped myself from saying anything further "Girl don't worry about that today because there's still a reception happening and I don't want Dennis to start panicking looking for you. This your wedding girl, enjoy it" she smiled brightly before hugging me.

"Because I worked hard on all this!" I said sternly but joking. She laughed "I know, thank you so much Mya all this means the world to me"

30 minutes later we started a game between the couple, and it was quite interesting to say the least.

"Who's the more dominant one in the relationship"

Rebecca and Dennis were seated on chair facing back to back.
Dennis raised his shoe while Rebecca raised hers. She turned around to look at him

"Whoa seems like there's some conflicting answers here" Chris said laughing in the mic.

"Now Dennis you know damn well.." Chris said lowly on the mic.

"You right, you right, I'm a changed man, she liable to kill somebody" they both laughed after Rebecca gave him a look.

"Who's likely to forget the baby at the daycare center?"

They both raised Rebecca's heel as she laughed.

"She be forgetting her own self sometimes, no doubt she gon leave the baby" we all laughed.

"Shut up Dennis" she said smiling and shaking her head.

"Say I'm lying" he said

"Last one, who's cooks better?"

Dennis raised his while Rebecca raised her own shoe.
She turned around to see his answer and scoffed "now Dennis you know you be licking the plate clean"
He gave a look like "oh yeah, what about that time you had me eat yo burnt chicken"

"Well we definitely know you liable to find a pregnancy stick in there" Chris muttered lowly of the mic but Rebecca still heard him and threw her shoe at him. He ducked so it missed him, since he missed, Rebecca got up and chased him. Resulting in everyone laughing.

After this game was over, we wrapped it up and had them do their first slow dance of the night to their favorite song.

When the next song came on all the couples grabbed their partner and went on the dance floor to dance.

Conversation pit came on by Junetober.

Busy observing everything and making sure everything was running smoothly, I see August and his fine self approaching me. Holding his hand out "dance with me?"

"August I gotta make sure everything is smooth" I said softly shaking my head.

"Mama you been working this whole night, this the part we get to enjoy" he said, I placed my hand in his. He was right I was so ready to enjoy the fruits of my labor.

"I thought you didn't dance?"

"Oh with you I'll do anything" making me blush, I walked with him.
He led me to the dance floor and guided my right hand to his heart while the other went to the back of his neck.

His right hand was around my waist.
He rested his head on mine.
"You feel that?" Referring to his heart beat.

"You still make me nervous sometimes. I still get them butterflies when I'm with you" he said making me blush and making my stomach turn but I know it was those same butterflies.

He raised that same hand over his heart and kissed the palm of my hand. "I don't know how to explain what it is you make me feel. I just know this is so profound. It's deeper than any relationship I ever experienced. I'm glad I get to be loved by you. I'm so blessed to be your wife and have me a mini you. I just know that when Breanna grows up, your love will be the standard she'll use to measure her relationships"

He smiled "I don't know if she'll eva have a relationship while I'm still alive but okay" he joked, atleast I hope he did.

"August" I said but he just shook his head. "Anyway, I love you and I am proud at how you managed to do this wedding for Rebecca and for ours too to be honest"

"For our wedding though you went all out. Golllyyy and that lace you had under that dress. Had I known earlier there wun gon be no reception" I laughed at his stupidity.

Looking at him I contemplated telling him but I got nervous all over again. But he picked up on it.

"What's wrong mama?" I shook my head.

"Nothing's wrong" I said looking down and trying to avoid his eyes.

He placed his finger under my chin to raise my head back up.

"Tell me, cause I can see it in your face" becoming uneasy, I was soooo glad when the Chris came up to the stage and interrupted everyone.

"Alright alright! Y'all ready to turn up or what?!" Chris yelled in the mic. Silently thanking God he did because my palms were getting sweaty.

"Alright y'all, I'm your entertainment for tonight. So if y'all some real fans y'all gotta help me sing the lyrics to this song"

I need you boo

I gotta see you boo

And there's hearts all over the world tonight

Said there's hearts all over the world tonight

Chris started his song and everyone at this reception lost every ounce of decorum they were pretending to have lol.

Chris wanted to be a nice man and be the entertainment for the night.
He was on the stage and there was a band playing. I couldn't help but I enjoy this reception. The wedding was beautiful, no hiccups, it was smooth and so far for the reception we didn't have any problems. Except the caterers.

"With every kiss and every hug you make me fall in love and now I, now I can't be the only one"
Me and August sang to each other.

It's like everytime I see the way he looks at me I can tell how much he loves and that makes this love feel a lot more safe for me.

So into all these songs Chris was singing, I didn't realize August stepped away.

"You liking what you see"

"Everything designer that's on me"

Chris so Chris he brought dancers and I mean they was really doing an amazing job.

But since August missed like 2 songs, I stepped away to go look for him.

"Hey Cha you seen August?" I asked her.

"Yeah he stepped outside, said he wanted some fresh air." She shrugged.

I stepped outside to look for him. I see his tall figure at the end of the pool looking up at the sky.

"I was wondering where you went" I said as I reached closer down to him.

He looked at me and smiled. I came by his side and he slipped his arm around my waist as we both looked out to the view together.

"Wow I never actually took the time to take in the view"

"Beautiful ain't it?" I nodded.

"Sometimes I like to come and see where I'm at, keeps me humble"

"Makes me remember where I came from, what I survived and what doing the right thing has me right now" he said now looking down at me.

"Sometimes I don't even be recognizing myself. You really did number on a nigga, Mya. I ain't never been the overly romantic type and now you got me doing all these things I said I would never do" shaking his head, I could help but feel good about myself because yeah I'm that girl.

"Dennis getting married really made me think about just how grown we are now"

"I know right, a lot has been happening that reminds me that we're getting older and older by the minute"

"Sometimes I wish my brother could be here to see all the things happening in my life now" he said and I monitored his face because I know these be the sensitive topics for him.

"I'm sorry, I ain't mean to be dumping on you" I shook my head "nah baby feel free to speak your mind, I'm listening"

"It's my birthday in 2 minutes so I always try to reflect on my life, you know?"

"To see how I can be a better person" I nodded agreeing with him.

"A better husband, a better father" welp there goes my heart again.

"August you're already a good father" I said making him shrug. "I know but there's always room for improvement"

"I know I've been a good daddy to you too, so you can gone head and give me my flowers now" he said grinning at me.

"Oh shut up" I rolled my eyes playfully while he laughed at me.

"Cmon ma you know I'm playing.." he said grabbing my hands. "Ehhh... not really but in your heart you know I been a good daddy to ya"
Shaking my head.

"You been a good daddy to Bre" I specifically said and hesitantly I looked at him "and.." I hesitated and saw him becoming confused "..and  I know you'll be a good daddy to our next child" I see his face change from confused to shocked

"Mya.. you.. wait" he stopped midway looking at me.

"You pregnant?" As if looking for confirmation.

"I'm pregnant"

"Stop playing" he said still shook.

"Happy Birthday baby" I said smiling up at him. He was taking this a lot better than I thought.

"We having another baby!" He said hugging me.
"Thank you God!"

"P.O.P hold it down" he said pointed at the sky. He then looked at me again "Wait when you found out?"

"Last night. I had been having the symptoms for a few weeks but I didn't think nothing of it until a few days ago" he smiled down at me before shaking his head.

"I can't believe it" he said clapping his hands.

"I had been putting in work in that pipe game and I was like Lord nothing yet?" I almost choked on my spit. 

"August what?" He shook his head. "I have been putting in over time" he said placing his hand over his heart like he was hurt or something.

"I love you and I really love having yo babies"

"You not scared?" I nervously asked.. "you know considerin.." he shook his head. "Nah"

"You can't think like that. Everything is going to be fine this time around. We'll pray over the baby, change up our diet and exercise" 

Nodding because he was right. I needed to let that fear go and believe. Be positive and hopeful.

"Man I'm so happy. I'm fine with any gender but I hope I get a son" he stooped low and started kissing my stomach. He stood back up and kissed me.

"We gone be good. I'll make sure of that" he said before the main door barged open and everyone came running out.

The first two people being the bride and the groom leading the pack and they jumped in the pool.
Everyone was cheering and laughing.

Laughing at them, August held my hand and yelled "ayooo!" August yelled gathering the crowds attention. "We're having another baby" August yelled making them cheer. He turned to me with the world's biggest smile and kissed me.
