"Aaaaaaaah! I can't believe he finally purposed!" Kira screamed, "bout damn time!"

"See, Kira, you weren't here with us the whole time. As much as he been chasing her around like a sad puppy with his tail between his legs. I knew it was coming soon."

"Oh please," I rolled my eyes sarcastically, laughing.

I had just got done Kimora's diaper. They were being so good, I was glad for that. Now I'm going take for then to sleep through the night. Hopefully it'll be soon.

"Baby," I heard Chris call out, "I'm home."

Chris came in the room, embraced and kissed me.

"Why so early?" I asked still in his embrace.

"Because I was being bothered."

"Why? By who?"

"Some lady that came in there. She sat by me, this time the girls spitting game. I had to leave because she was getting disrespectful."

The thought of another woman being around Chris made me feel uneasy. I'm trying my best to trust him and not to worry but It's hard. I didn't say anything though

"Don't worry baby. I only want you. That's why I came home to you."

"Well call me later. I'm about to get home and handle some business," Kira said to me.

"Yeah, I'm about to run to the shop and see how everythings running, call me later."

They both kissed the cheeks then kissed the babies good-bye and I was alone with Chris and the babies.

"Baby, I was thinking..." Chris started, "maybe we could throw a dinner and announce to everyone at one that we're engaged."

"You know that would be nice but I'm too tired to be cooking all of that food and to be cleaning it up afterward."

"Baby I got all of that."

"But what I need your help with the babies while your doing all of this?"

I could see the gears turning in his head as he was thinking of a plan.

"Okay, either I can higher some help or our mothers?"

"I don't know. Baby I don't want to bother anyone, especially our mothers. And I don't want you putting a dent in your pocket either."

When I said that last statement Chris looked as if he were hurt and offended.

"Kim, I don't ever want you thinking that I can't handle something financially. When I say I got something, I got it without a problem. I wouldn't have asked you to marry me if I knew I couldn't take care of you and the twins wants or needs. I'm not saying that I'm cashin' out but I'm no where near broke. I'm your man, let me take care of you."

"Well what do you wan to do?" I asked cautiously.

"Whatever you find more helpful."

"Uhhh," I thought out loud, "let's get the caterers. I just want everyone to relax."

"Your wish is my command," Chris responded with a smile pulling me in closer while lowering his head to meet mine.

He pressed his lips to mine softly, giving me a lingering kiss. It was one of those kiss that would make you melt. As the kiss deepened our body became closer until there was no more space in between us.

I gasped when I felt how hard he was. I could feel him smiling against my lips. In his eyes you could tell that it was a painful smile. And that's when it finally hit me. Chris had been so big of a player that he'd hardly go a week without some form of sex. Chris hadn't had sex in over eight months. About nine to be exact. And it was all to get me back. I smiled back knowing that he loved me for sure.

It's true what they say, If you set something, or in my case someone you love free, that if they come back they're yours forever.

"You okay?" I asked running my hands up his chest.

"I'm fine," he whispered as he grasped my hands and bringing them to his lips and kissing my finger tips,"I'm going to make these calls. You can go change." Then he winked and walked away.

I'm still trying to figure out when did Christopher turn in to a romantic.

After changing in to a flowy type dress. I couldn't wait until I healed some so I could get started on losing this weight. I'm already eating healthier and having smaller proportions.

Both the twins were in the their nursery sleeping, so setting up for the dinner was a breeze.

It was unexpected for everybody but it was cool, everybody agreed to come I'm guessing because everyone didn't get to see the babies. But that's just fine with me.

"You ready babe?" Chris came in the room and asked.

"Yeah, how do I look?"

"Beautiful as always," he responded simply kissing my lips.

We both walked down together, Chris was carrying both the basinets while I carefully carried Kimora & CJ.

"There they are!" Carae said excitedly taking Kimora while Tia took CJ.

"Carefully, they're sleeping," I whispered.

"I didn't get to see them yet, so they need to wake up," Carae said sitting on the couch.

"Yeah iight, and you're going to be putting them back to sleep."

"I'll just kidnap them."

"You are not taking my babies."

"I want to see the babies," Jayden and Shy's voice sang in unison.

They both sat on either side of Carae and Tia started kissing the babies and talking to them. I grabbed my camera from over the t.v. and snapped a couple of pictures.

"Okay, Is everybody ready to eat?" Chris asked.

Nobody said a word. They just followed him to the dining room. He set up the basinets in the corner close to me and him in the spacious room.

Everybody was here this time. My mother and father, Both Chris' parents also. Tia, Marcus, Carae Correll, Kameron, Jayden, Jayden's mother Arianna, Dionne, Kira, Malayka, Tiffany, Chanel, Shy, Brandi, Kayin, Kareem, Tim, Omar, and a few of my new employees.

It was a big dinner and I was grateful that Chris had gotten a bigger house.

In the middle of dinner Chris stood up and asked for everyone's attention.

"I know yall don't think I invited you all here just so you can eat. Because if so, you're a freeloader," he stated sarcastically.

Everyone laughed.

"But nah," he said, taking a glance at me and smiled, "I know that I've been a pain to a lot of you. But I've been battling my own demons and the people it's been hurting the most is Kimberly and myself. The reason I say that is because I put Kim through hell and high water not knowing how bad it was affecting her. But I also hurt myself because I knew my heart had been with her all these years and if she would've decided to leave, part of would have gone with her. That's how I know that I can't live without her and that I need her to be in my life forever. And that's why I asked her to marry me.... And she said yes! She's going to be my wife."

Everybody cheered, squealed, & congratulated us but there was just those two voices coming from my own brother & sister saying, "finally!"

I looked over at them and smirked. Marcus returned the smirk and have me a thumbs up. I think he understood exactly what I was talking about when we had our little talks.

Everything was finally starting to look up for me and I'd definitely like to thank God for my second chance. I'm definitely going to try my best to do everything right this time around.
