I'd like to say thank you all for commenting or even voting on this book as we approach the end

Liyahs P.O.V
"She looks just like you"my mama said cradling my baby girl

"Ma, don't say that all newborn babies look like they on crack"I laughed before looking at koyal

I wasn't ignorant, I read the room. It was filled with sadness yet joy at the same time. I knew just by the look on my mans face he had not succeeded at his mission to save gia

I owe my life to her, my daughters life and for that I would forever be grateful but right now I had a baby to care for and I couldn't break down no matter how hard I wanted to. I had to stay strong for Koyal and -

"Her hair is so full and curly"My mother says breaking the silence and intruding my thoughts

"Thanks to Liyah"Koyal said reaching out for her

"What's mijà name"Sofia purred leaning on Koyal's shoulder

"We were thinking Isabella, it means gods oath"Koyal speaks out as I take in the sight

"Isabella Gia Smith Hernandez"I said with satasfaction in our choice for our little girls name

"Gia will always be remember, I'll make sure of that"Koyal says giving me a promising look before walking to me with our baby girl in his arms as he placed her into my arms my eyes fell into hers and I knew there was nothing that wouldn't be done for her

"Where is Breana""I asked as he looked at his watch

"She's handling some business"

"We should go"Sofia said with her thick Mexican accent as my mother nodded before kissing my head

"You did good"she said silently repeating those words as she walked out of the room

"Koyal" I asked as he hummed not removing his eyes from our daughter

"Did you find her body"I asked in a low monotone voice as he averted his eyes to mine as he took a deep breathe in

"No, but she knew that,which is why she left one request"



So here we were standing outside with me in a hospital gown and all of our family beside us as the moon lit up our dark skies

"Gia was a wonderful person and we all knew that, I just wished she did too. But she didn't want us to be sad instead she wanted us to light up these-"I said holding up the pretty lanterns looking at everyone

"Gia was and is the strongest female I will ever know and I'm proud to say, we will carry on her legacy and make sure that those boys always remember her...For Gia"I say before lighting my lantern and releasing it into the sky staring up not making eye contact with anyone as multiple lanterns started to follow mines

"We love you"Mia yelled to the sky before Aless embraced her as they walked back inside the hospital holding eachother while Sofia, Marcus and my mom went as well

"I'm going to go see Isabella"he whispered kissing my cheek as I kept my head held forward trying to hold back the tears that threatened to fall

"You put on this front li, and you don't have to"Breana whispers as she approaches me while looking at the lanterns

"I'm fine"I say as if I was trying to convince her but in reality

I only wanted to convince myself

Turning my aching body towards her as anger filled my body

"She left me, and I fucking hate her for that"I screamed while Breana hugged me screaming from the top of my lungs until I felt nothing but numbness and sadness

"Why did she have to be the freaking hero"I whimpered before looking Breana in the eyes as we slumped onto the ground and I started to cry

But this wasn't a normal cry

It was a broken one

The cry that makes you scream yet so silently

The cry that makes you want to disappear and become dust

The cry where everything hits you all at once

"She was suffering and I was to stuck up to see it. I was so blinded by her moving on without me by a choice I made on my own, only for us to grow further apart to the part where we were strangers living in the same house" I muttered while she held me rocking us back and forth

"One life left this world as another came into it, but don't blame yourself for a choice we all made without even realizing it"Breana says before lifting us up

"You broke down like a normal person should, but now it's time for you to get your things together and go take care of that baby that Gia sacrificed her life for"

And with that being said. We left walking into the hospital, with a new chapter ahead of us
