My Heart Belongs To You

When We Love

August

I love watching all three of them sleep because they all sleep the same and be so at peace, Armari sleeps like he had a long day and be stretched out across his crib, Armani sleeps like her mom with hand over her face and have one curly strand of hair coming down her face. When I move it behind her ear she smiles in her sleep, I'm not going lie I do spoil her more than I should but I love her being daddy's girl and I can have another Aaliyah to look after. Armari is a momma's boy because he be butt hurt when I come pick him up instead of his momma, it be too funny but I know both of them love us equally. Watching Aaliyah sleep be having me wonder what she be dreaming about, is she really ready to marry me in a couple hours? 

While they were sleeping I made a few calls to see if everything was going as planned, I was nervous about this because in a few hours we would be at our destination. My dreams of having a family with her and making her my wife is about to come true. I wouldn't trade none of what we have for the world, we been through so much these past 3 years and I can say it has taught me a lot. From watching her suffer in a toxic relationship, to me realizing that you can't just fall in love with someone that's not really yours even if they help you find yourself again. To God bringing Aaliyah back into my life and showing me that she was the one meant for me all along, to people trying to break us apart and break us down, to her finding out that she was pregnant. To us getting engaged, to her getting off track and kind of hurting my heart but we got back to what we know. To our beautiful babies being born and now us on the way to getting married and being one forever. I can't even tell you what's on my mind all I know is I'm ready to see her in that dress walking down to me with her father attached to her arm. But I know that when I kiss her to make it official of her being Mrs. Alsina its going feel like the first time we kissed, like the first time I saw her. I pulled her close to me and admired how beautiful she looked then my phone rung.

"Hello?"-I said quiet

"Hey Aug how are you feeling?"-Momma Joycelyn

"I'm a little nervous but what's up Momma Joy?"-August

"I was just calling to talk to you, I knew you would feel nervous and I wanted to be the one to give you some encouragement. You see you have always been like a son to me and for you to always keep up with Aaliyah even though you two wasn't together meant a lot to me. I know your father is supposed to be the one to give you advice on being husband or a man supposed to but I wanted to be that one. You will be a wonderful husband to Li because you love her more than anything and I always saw that, the day you was by her side when she needed a kidney. You searched everywhere to find a donor until someone was a match, I knew that day you was meant to be with her for the rest of your life. Its okay to be nervous because you're one step away from marrying the love of your life, one step away from giving my beautiful Li your last name and one step away from being the best husband that you can be. You got this Aug and I'm so happy that its you who has my Li's heart. Can't wait to see the two of you at the alter."-Momma Joy

"Man I appreciate that a lot, you don't know how much I needed that, you are amazing and I see exactly where she gets it from. I do appreciate you giving me that talk and its all good, those words coming from you is all that I need right now because you are like a second mother to me. You know me like the back of your hand and I will always do anything to make her happy and protect her, I promise you I will always be by her side no matter what. You know I'll do anything for her and our beautiful babies that we have in our lives now. Honestly I should've married her from the jump but I'm more than happy that I can do that now and can't wait to see her in that dress. We'll see you there soon."-I said looking out at the clouds

"Of course you know I love you, how's Li and my beautiful grandbabies?"-Momma Joy

"Their sleep right now and yeah you know I got love for you too Momma Joy"-August
