This is some ratchet ass shit, I can not believe we're doing this," Kionni mumbled as she and her friends, along with the two babies, Morgan's dad and Elijah sat, waiting.

It was April, and the draft was finally upon them. This year, it was in Las Vegas, Nevada, and Elijah was so excited to be out of Texas, he asked everyone to come, so they called it a family trip and had been in the city for three days already.

"I mean, you can't blame them. Talia's mom is a shit head. Her dad's a bitch, I mean, this was probably the best choice. It is ghetto though," Morgan laughed. Samir shook his head, completely agreeing. Nobody was expecting that they'd be doing this the night before the draft, but they loved their friends so here they were.

Watching Talia and Treshaun getting married, at Graceland.

Talia and Tre decided a long time ago they didn't want a huge ceremony when they got married. They didn't want some fancy engagement and a big reception full of people that never cared about them until that day, and were secretly judging them anyway. This was exactly what they wanted, their close friends and family with them on one of the most important days of their lives.

Tre, Samir and Julian snuck off on a mall trip a two days prior, and went ring shopping for Talia and he found something perfect for her. He proposed right then and there, in the middle of a mall in Vegas, while she was holding their son. She cried like a baby and insisted they get married that instant, but he wanted her to at least get a pretty dress so they'd have nice pictures to look back on.

The next day, she found a beautiful white strapless dress, she got her son a cute little button up shirt, and now here they were. On April 9th, getting married in a chapel. All the rest of the group scrambled to find something in the mall to wear to their wedding, and almost settled for wearing their finest jeans and t-shirts.

"Okay, shh, they're coming out," Elijah shushed them, making his dad laugh. Elijah was all for it, he was extremely excited. He'd never been to a wedding before, and although this wasn't a traditional one, he was excited to be in attendance nonetheless.

It wasn't anything fancy what they were doing, they were just gonna exchange rings, say some 'I do's' and pop a bottle.

"Is it okay if I say something?" Tre look towards the officiant, who was dressed like Elvis, and he gave him the go ahead. "Bet. So baby, um, I don't wanna talk too much, you know when it comes to you I could talk for hours." He started, making her grin, "but I just wanted to thank you. I have loved you since I was 15 years old, and to be twenty five and getting to make you my wife is honestly surreal. I tell you this all the time but you're everything I ever wanted, T.

You're the best girlfriend I could have asked for, you supported me through my torn acl and being depressed because I couldn't play, me and Juju opening Ink'd, every milestone in my life you been there, my lil cheerleader. You gave me my beautiful son, the biggest blessing we could have ever received, and you're the best, most beautiful mother I ever knew. I ain't really have a mama growing up, so seeing you be a mom to that boy is healing something inside me. You're just...you're everything to me, Talia. I know I get on your damn nerves but you marrying me, so I can't be that bad, right?" he joked, earning a laugh from everyone.
