began to laugh at herself, thinking she looked just like Kira when she pouts. She then started to feel happy as thoughts of the day she gave birth flashed back in her mind. Having Kira was one of the greatest moments of her life.
Her mood quickly switched from happy to sad in just a matter of minutes. She envisioned laying up in the hospital bed in labor while Trent coached her through it and held her hand. Three days later, all three of them left the hospital together as a family. Shortly after, Carmen found out Trent was cheating on her with numerous women and their happy little family seemingly faded away. He started leaving her and Kira home alone all the time, and then when he stopped coming home at night, she started to feel even more abandoned. She remembered chasing him all over the city, trying to get him to spend family time with her and their daughter. She even remembered the many fist fights and knock out matches she’d had with a lot of his groupie side chicks.
Finally, she got tired of the fighting and blatant disrespect and just let him do whatever he wanted. He would stay with her all through the day, and at night he would disappear. Carmen knew exactly what he was up to. The moment he broke the news to her that he had bought a three-bedroom home, she became over joyed, thinking he had bought the home for her, himself, and Kira. At the time, Trent didn’t even have the balls to tell her that she wasn’t moving in with him at his new home, and that her and Kira would be forced to stay in the same two-bedroom apartment she still resided in. Of course, he kept the bills paid and food in their tummies, but that wasn’t enough for Carmen, and probably would never be.
She gazed in the mirror and couldn’t even recognize her own self from the heavy dark sand bags underneath her eyes and how pale her skin had turned due to her being so sick. At that moment, Carmen knew just what she had to do.

“G o best friend, that’s my bestie right there, y’all.”
Carmen cheered and clapped her hands as Moe and Meek kissed at the end of the short, sweet ceremony. Moe’s skin glowed brightly against the pale yellow dress she was sporting. She had her hair pulled up into a nice neat bun to expose the full beautiful features of her face. She smiled from ear to ear with nothing but love and happiness in her heart. It was finally over; she was now Mrs. Moenisha Brown. For the first time in the past few months, she was happy. She pushed all the crazy stream of events to the back of her mind for the moment so that she could live in her glory.
Meek lifted Moe in his arms, carried her to the car, and safely placed her inside. As they drove back to Carmen’s place, he begin to wonder if this was right. He knew that he had married Moenisha because she was the love of his life, but was it fair to her, knowing that he was facing so much time away? He wasn’t sure how she was feeling about it all, and he wondered if she felt as if he had rushed her into becoming his wife. One thing he did know was that Moe loved him deeply because that she showed him daily. Every now and then, Meek would take his eyes off of the road to get a glimpse of the beautiful smile still plastered on his wife’s face.
He then peered into the rearview mirror and saw Carmen’s angry face. She held her cell phone tightly in her hands, texting away. Meek figured it was Trent she was cursing out via text message.
“You ladies hungry?” Meek asked, turning his attention back to the road.
“Hell yeah,” Carmen spoke up before Moe had a chance.
“I know y’all hungry,” Moe said referring to Carmen and the baby she was carrying.
“It won’t be y’all for long,” Carmen whispered to herself as if Meek and Moe didn’t hear her.
The text Meek had observed her sending was to tell Trent that she was not keeping the baby. She knew she would probably hate herself for the decision, but that was something she was willing to deal
