Epilogue
Three months later…
“Okay mom and dad, it looks like we’re having a boy,” the doctor sang in an excited voice.
A wide grin eased across Raven’s face. She was still pregnant, and she was so anxious to find out the sex of the baby that she decided she didn’t even want to do a gender reveal.
She just wanted to know what her baby was.
She looked over at Diric, and he had turned his back to her.
Raven found that odd. The doctor wiped the gel off her stomach, and she sat up.
The pictures were printed off and questions were answered.
When the doctor left the room, Raven spoke.
“Diric. You okay?”
He didn’t say anything. He simply nodded. Raven knew something was wrong, so she stood up and walked over to him. Her heart dropped when she saw tears streaming down Diric’s face. It had to be because of Kash. She wrapped her arms around him, and he hugged her tight.
Diric had been doing good dealing with Kash’s death lately, but hearing that he was having another son triggered something in him. He was happy to be having another child, but he was missing Kash too. Raven let him get it all out. “I love you,” she stated when he pulled back from her.
“I know, ma. I love you too. It’s us ‘til the world blow.”
Diric was happy for real. He no longer dealt with the stress of being in the streets, and he had a woman that added to his life.
She was helping him to get legal money, and he was about to have another child.
Life was good as fuck, and he had hoe ass Xander to thank for it.
He never would have thought that the day he broke into Raven’s house, his life would be changed forever.
“Baby, why I gotta cover my eyes?” Heiress asked Amar while he tied a scarf that had been placed over her eyes.
“’Cus it’s a surprise, apple head.”
Heiress kissed her teeth, reached behind her, and smacked him for calling her apple head.
When he was done, Amar grabbed her hand and led her through his house and outside.
They were on their way to Canyon’s house.
He was having a cookout at his house. Since the guys no longer hustled, they no doubt put time and money into legal endeavors, but they also enjoyed life too.
Just being able to relax and move on their own accord was lovely to all of them.
They had time to spend with their ladies, to travel, to do whatever they wanted to do.
Heiress had been working her ass off for the past month trying to grow her clothing brand and to reward her, Amar was taking her to the DR for six days.
Once they were in the yard, Amar took the scarf off her face, and Heiress gasped at the sight before her. It was her dream car. A pink Porsche Panamera. There was a huge red bow on the car, and tears filled her eyes as she jumped into Amar’s arms.
“That’s for going hard and meeting your goals.”
Heiress had set a goal to make $15,000 in one month, and she did that.
She spent hours coming up with unique designs and more hours sewing.
She marketed herself, got custom orders, she got frustrated, she cried, but she didn’t quit.
She even sewed until her hands cramped up.
When she looked at the dashboard on her website and saw that she made $15,210 in sales in three weeks, she cried happy tears.
Amar had watched her grind. He watched her decline going out to parties with her sister.
He saw her losing sleep and barely eating, and he wanted to let her know that he was proud of her.
Heiress placed kisses all over his face. “I love you so much, bae.”
“I love you too.”
She couldn’t wait to get home from Canyon’s cookout because she was going to fuck the hell out of him. She was no longer on birth control and going with the flow. If she had anything to do with it, soon, he’d be joining his homies in the dad club.
“The way you spoil me is crazy,” Yohana walked over to Canyon who was standing at the grill. She wrapped her arms around him from behind.
He wasn’t having a regular cookout. He was having a cookout to celebrate her selling her first house.
She had made an $11,000 commission, and Canyon wanted to do something big for her.
He had met Kari, and the boy liked him. So did Yohana’s mother.
She was scared to be having another baby when her oldest child was thirteen, but she knew Canyon would be a great father.
She also had another $19,000 commission coming up because he had just found another investment property that he liked, and they were waiting to close.
Yohana’s life was as close to perfect as it would ever get.
The only thing that would make it better was Morris being free.
Canyon turned around to make sure that everyone he invited was in attendance. When everyone was accounted for, he spoke. “It’s only going to get better,” he told her. Canyon caught the eye of the DJ and when he got down on one knee, the DJ cut the music.
Yohana gasped just as the DJ said, “The big homie, Canyon has something he wants to say.”
The backyard was so huge that unless you were right up on him, you couldn’t hear what he was saying to Yohana, but that didn’t matter to him. As long as she heard him.
“We’ve both been married before and it’s not to throw shade, but it wasn’t right for either of us.
I know that because I was meant for you, and you were meant for me, so nothing before us was going to be right.
I love you, and I can’t wait to spend the rest of my life with you, Kari, and the new baby. Will you marry me?”
Yohana was scared if she spoke, she’d cry, so she simply nodded her head.
That was good enough for Canyon because he opened the ring box and slipped a ring so big on Yohana’s finger that she had to do a double take.
He had done very good! Yohana’s life had changed so much in the last year that she didn’t even recognize it anymore, and she wouldn’t change it for the world.
“When are you coming home?” Cheyenne’s sister asked her. Cheyenne was on her monthly trip to Miami. Her and Marion were still going strong. This time, Cheyenne had been gone for three days.
“It won’t be for another week. Marion is taking me to the Bahamas tomorrow, and we’re staying for four days. Please don’t tear up my house.”
Cheyenne liked being with Marion. Staying in such a big house alone had gotten lonely for her.
So much so, that when her sister fell on hard times, she let her move in with her, and Cheyenne was starting to regret it because her niece and nephew were bad as hell.
They drew on her walls, and Cheyenne damn near lost it.
Her sister seemed to think that because she had money, Cheyenne didn’t care about her things being taken care of, and that wasn’t true.
As she ended her call, Marion came in the room and smiled at her.
Cheyenne loved her some damn Marion. His rich ass loved spending on her.
He had already asked her to move to Miami, and she was thinking about it.
He told her how his ex cheated, and Cheyenne assured him she wouldn’t make that mistake.
The sex was mediocre, but she didn’t give a damn.
Sex with Canyon had been awesome, and look how he did her.
“I have to take care of some business. Go shopping for our trip.” He handed her his black card, and she smiled.
“Hurry back baby.”
“I will.”
They kissed, and she rushed to get dressed. Life was great. Fuck Canyon!
** Marion was introduced in Torn Between a Haitian Boss and a Jamaican Savage and his story was told a bit more in She Got the Plug in His Feelings.
