Life After Marriage Book 3

Final Chapter - Au-Revoir

Amber POV-

My life has been a constant roller coaster since I got better. I respected Aug's wishes about not working on Tiggy's case but I was a task master on Omari and Chad making sure they had all their T's crossed and I's dotted.

She was getting out. Even if I had to go down to that jail and release her myself.

Luckily I didn't have to do that. Being the great Attorneys Chad and Omari are they got her off and now Tiggy has gotten her GED and is enrolled in a community college with plans to transfer to a four year once she gets her credits up.

I'm so proud of her. She's come such a long way, I hope she has learned her lesson. Like Michelle Obama, school
Over boys. We can't get so cAught up in boys we put our future on the back burner.

As you know, I didn't meet my babe Aug until I already has my ish together. Okay? #message

Stac, ahh Stac was blessed with a beautiful babygirl named Callie. And unfortunately she's the spitting image of Travis. 😂😂😂

I'm joking. She's beautiful. And of course Stacy has been getting on my nerve begging me for advice. Every two seconds she calls me thinking Callie's dying. "She coughed Amb is she dying?"

It's her first baby so I'll give her a break. New mothers tend to be sensitive that way. 😩

Guess who got a church y'all? Cousin Bobby Ray. Praise da Lort! 🙌

It's a storefront, next to a liquor store--- which by some of his sermons I'm sure he visited them before service if you know what I mean? But at least Bobby is employed. That alone deserves a Hallelujah!! 🙌

And as for me and my family. We're still going. Sata's 10 now and if you thought she was bad at 6? Chile, she has enough attitude for 10 divas now. I just know she's going to be a lawyer. She has to be with all that mouth.

Auggie's 7. Still a cry baby. Still a mama's boy. But always a sweetheart.

But this Amiri character. Baby, he's a handful. He's 3 going on 30, and as active as a little buzzing bee.

"Amiri come back over here?" I yelled as he ran off. He came back over to me. I grabbed his hand. "Now you stay here."

Aug and I took our kids to Paris on vacation. It was the place where we really solidified our love and we wanted our kids to witness this beautiful place.

We'd been here for four days. Today was our final day and we were on our final stop-- the love lock bridge.

Being here just brought back so many memories. It reminded me of how far Aug and I had come.

From him singing Ready For Love in the women's  washroom. Our gizallion fights. And him storming out, with Stacy always playing mediator. The beautiful Soul Ball Aug threw me, only for the  Smoke debacle at graduation to turn things down hill.

Me finding out once Aug left I was pregnant. Marrying Nate. His suicide.

Aug coming back and finding out Sata was his. Us moving to Philly. Him
Getting kicked out of school. Me having to get back in. Us getting married. Having Auggie. On the brink of divorce. Me almost dying but pulling through and getting Amiri here safely.

Wow. The life we've lived is enough to last us 20 lifetimes. And no matter how rough it got, we always found our way back. Always.

"Mommy why you crying?" Auggie looked up asking me.

I bent down to him and Amiri. "I'm just so happy." I hugged them close and kissed them.

"Me love you too mommy." Miri said.

"I love you too mommy." Auggie said.

"You guys make me so proud. And I want you to continue to be good boys and make mommy proud. You're Alsina's boys and it may not mean anything to anybody else but it means something to me. Okay?"

"Okay." They both said.

I stood up as Sata and Aug came out of the store with the lock and marker.

"What's wrong baby?" Aug asked me as I wiped my eyes.

"Just reminiscing. Got me emotional. This is our place ya know."

"First place you got these 12 inches."

"What's 12 inches?" Auggie asked.

"Nothing. Ignore your father."
I hit Big Aug.

"Alright babies so we have this lock." I held up the lock. "And I want you to put your initials on it."

"What's e-nintion?" Miri asked.

"The letters of your first and last name stupid." Sata snapped.

"Yo head stupid." Miri laughed.

"That's not even funny." Sata rolled her eyes.

"Stop it." Big Aug told them.

"So everybody write your initials." I gave it to Sata first.

"They all AA." Auggie pointed out.

"Oh yeah. You won't be able to tell much difference with that. So draw a symbol then."

Everyone drew a symbol and at the top Big Aug wrote The Alsina's."

"What we do now?" Auggie asked.

"Everybody kiss the lock."

We did.

"Daddy's going to lock it on the gate."

He did.

"Now kiss the key."

We did.

"Now say Au revoir Paris." I blew a kiss to the sky.

"What dat mean?" Amiri asked.

"Goodbye, until we see each other again, idiot." Sata said.

Amiri went behind Sata and pulled her braid and took off running. Sata chased after him.

Big Aug went to get them.

"Me and you can do it mommy."  Auggie suggested.

I gave him the key.

"On the count of three."

"Now y'all stop that shit." August told them, grabbing them by their collar and bringing them back over by us.

Sata was crying silently.

"1,2,3,"

"Au revoir Paris." Everybody except Sata said.

Auggie threw the key.

"Now nobody can tear our family apart."

We all hugged. I even brought Sata in who was pouting.

If I had to do every single piece of my life up until this point over-- I would. Not changing a thing.

It's been an awesome ride. Au Revoir! ✌️

I want to say thank you again for reading this series. On wattpad you encounter some crazies that want to bring you negative energy and dislike you because they are unhappy with themselves.

But what I have found is that there are more good people in the world than there are bad. And when you water with love, the hate can't grow.

💦 watering you guys with love, Because throughout this entire series you have done that for me!!! ❤️

I started off not knowing anybody on here and didn't have a lot of reads. But I kept going and was blessed to have readers like you! Thanks for making my first wattpad experience amazing!

Love each of you a million times over
