I sat in my car infront of the building I was meeting Kaelynn at. Today was our first day seeing a marriage therapist and I was not prepared one bit. I checked the time on my phone before ashing the blunt out just as a car parked right next to me.
I looked to see Kaelynn getting out of her car while looking at mine probably to see if I was still in the car but she couldn't see me cus' my windows were tinted. I watched as she waddled into the building before I got out of my car myself.
I sighed walking into the place before going to Reception where the front desk lady gave me directions to the room we're supposed to be going to. I walked towards the elevator seeing Kaelynn standing there waiting for the doors to open.
"Hey" she smiled small while I nodded my head at her before speaking.
"Wassup" I spoke shortly before slipping my hands into my pockets while we waited a few more seconds for the elevator doors to open. Once it opened, we walked in and she pressed the buttons while I stood back just watching her.
It breaks my heart that this is what we've come to. It's hard spending half your life with someone, putting your all into them for them to turn around and throw it all into your face. I'm not ready to let this go just yet, I'm willing to work things out but I'll still continue to pray on it and go wherever God may lead me.
The elevator doors opened before I let her walk out first before following behind her. We sat down in the waiting area for a few minutes before a black woman came out of a door with a bright smile on her face.
She had perfect honey brown curly hair, pretty doe eyes with full pink lips. She had a curvy, slim thick body as she wore a black high-waisted leather pants, a black turtle neck slim tee, a grey coat with black closed- toe stiletto heels. Don't ask me how I know all these things, I've been married for 5 years and I was raised in a house with 2 women.
"Goodmorning Mr and Mrs. Johnson. Ya'll are welcome to come inside and have a seat" She spoke softly as I snapped out of my thoughts and got up, following behind Kaelynn.
I sat down on the couch while Kaelynn sat down on the other end while the therapist's heels clicked against the wood floors before she joined us with a journal in her hand.
"My name is Janae Wright, I'm 25 years old and I have a master's degree in counseling and psychology. I recently and officially got out of an abusive marriage I've been in for over 7 years. The abuse didn't start until later down the line when we got married 3 years ago and I've only got the courage to speak out about it a year ago when I almost lost my life to it."
"I always share a small part about my personal life to my clients to open a safe space for them and to create a comfortable environment. I really hope that by the end of our sessions, the two of you find happiness again and continue to love each other conditionally."
"But without further ado, shall we get started?" She finished before clasping her hands together and sending us a warm smile while we nodded our heads and prepared for what was about to come.

I sent Ari a text letting her know that I was outside before putting my phone back in the cupholder. Soon after, she walked out of the door with Miracle right behind her. I watched as she waved making me do the same before Ari got into the passenger seat.
"Hey baby" she smiled making me send her a lazy smile before she slightly leaned over with her lips puckered. I stared at them before shaking my head.
"Hey mama. You know I can't kiss you cus' I'm sick" I spoke groggily as she frowned before grabbing my face attempting to pull me closer to kiss her but I pulled back making her frown deepen.
She crossed her arms and sat back in the seat while looking out of the window making me chuckle and shake my head as I backed out of the driveway and started making our 10 minute journey back home.
"You had fun wit' Miracle mama?" I asked glancing at her before focusing back on the road as I turned the corner to make my way out of the neighborhood.
"...." I received silence in return as I stopped at a red light before leaning back in my seat. I looked at her and grabbed her neck forcing her to look at me. I stared at her face as my eyes traveled from her eyes to her lips before I licked over mine.
I leaned down and pecked her lips twice before pushing my tongue into her mouth making her suck on it before we both fought for dominance which I obviously won. I bit on her bottom lip before pecking it once more then pulling back to look at her.
"I asked you a question mamas, I expect an answer" I spoke softly before letting her neck go and leaning back in my seat seeing the light turned green making me start driving again.
"Yes baby, I had fun" she blushed turning her head to look back out of the window making me shake my head as I made a right to turn into our street.
"My baby okay? Have ya'll eaten?" I asked her as I reached my hand over and placed it on her belly, starting to rub circles ontop of it. Ari was 8 months pregnant so we are a month away from welcoming babygirl into the world.
"Yea I have but I know ma cooked so I'm finna eat again" she put her phone down and turned to me with a smile making me shake my head as I pulled up into the driveway seeing an extra car in the driveway.
I got out of the car and walked towards Ari's side to help her out before walking towards the front door with her hand in mine. I unlocked the door and let her walk in first before closing and locking the door behind us while she went to put her house shoes on.
"Mari!" I heard Leilani loud ass yell making me shake my head as I walked further into the home.
"Yes mommy?" I called back as I walked into the living room to see my mom, my mimi and my gigi sitting on the couch.
(A/n: mimi ~ Desiree (Lani & Jah's mom) gigi ~ Aliesja (Saiah and Miracle's mom)
"Hey mimi, hey gigi" I spoke giving them both hugs as they smiled and greeted me back while Ari walked in and did the same and I plopped next to my mom, laying in her lap.
"Hey my baby" My mom smiled as Ari sat down on the other side of her making me snap my head to look up at her with a mug.
"Boy what? Don't be mugging me" she mugged me back making me frown at her. It be yo' own momma fr. If she don't love me no mo' then that's all she had to say.
"Ma stop playing, I'm yo' baby" I spoke laying my head back down in her lap while her hand rubbed through my hair. "You steady giving people my position like what? How 'det work" I mumbled while they busted out laughing.
"You is too big Kamari" My mimi said making me smack my lips and shake my head.
"Mimi, it's like i can't have her to myself for one second cus' then da wan' come and lay down with us then not too long after, Zari comes. Don't get me wrong I love my da and my sister but damn, can I have my mom back?" I rambled while they just sat there and laughed at me.
"And not to mention, bean bighead gone be born in 4 months then I'm gone have to share another piece of her. Like can I live? Can I live?" I spoke with my hands up in the air just as Da walked into the living room.
"What you over hea' complaining 'bout? And I know you ain't talking, leave my baby head alone and I ain't gone tell you again" he spoke as he stopped infront of Ari before looking at her then at ma.
"You gone always be my baby Toota" My ma spoke as she kissed my forehead while my Da forced himself in between them then laid his head on her shoulder making me scrunch my face up and for Ari to mug him.
"See what I mean? Mchht mane" I shook my head as Mimi and Gigi were dying laughing at us while Da and Ari mugged each other.
"Whew chile, ya'll are too much" Gigi breathed out while Mimi just shook her head.
"Ma, ya'll see what I go through on a everyday basis? I can't even breathe, I'm pregnant, I don't be having privacy anymore and ontop of that, Mari sick right now that's why he acting like a baby and watch by tomorrow everyone gone be sick so I'm just gone have a house full of babies" Ma spoke sighing as I closed my eyes and breathed through my mouth cause my nose decided to be all stuffy and shit.
"You hungry mamas" I looked at Ari who was laying her head on the arm of the couch while scrolling through her phone. She looked at me and nodded making me stand up and help her up before walking to the kitchen.
I grabbed her plate out of the microwave and took the cover off before placing it back in the microwave and warming it. I walked over to her and stood infront of her as she leaned back on the counter.
"You so pretty" I stared at her as I pushed her hair out of her face and behind her ear while she blushed and covered her face. I rubbed on her belly and stared down at her as she looked back up at me with a smile on her face.
"Thank you my handsome face" she said back making me smile and lean down to peck her lips while still rubbing on her belly, feeling babygirl start to kick me hand making my smile widen.
"Wassup lil mama. It's your dada speaking, I can't wait to welcome you into this world. I'm so excited to meet you and hold you in my arms" I spoke to her belly while placing soft kisses on it, feeling her kicks become more constant.
"Daddy loves you babygirl" I placed one last kiss on it before standing up straight to see Ari cheesing down at me making me chuckle. I walked towards the microwave and grabbed her food before walking to the fridge and grabbing a water and Capri-Sun.
I signaled for her to walked infront of me before walking behind her as we made our way upstairs to my room. I closed the door behind us before waiting for her to get comfortable in the bed then passing her food to her.
"Thank you baby" she spoke while I nodded and leaned down to peck her lips a few times. I then took my joggers off leaving me in my shorts and took my shirt off and got under the covers with her before cuddling next to her and throwing my arm over her belly as she sat up and ate.
She was watching Grey's Anatomy cus' she done watched it with my ma once and started watching it ever since so I just laid there watching it too until my eyes got droopy making me close them and slowly start dozing off.
