"Happy anniversary, Kee.", Mark smiled after they had been toasted by their circle of friends in their home. It was their one-year wedding anniversary.
Right after Mark made his statement, he and Kiara proceeded to hug and kiss each other.
"Awwwwwwwwwww!!!", the gang cheered and giggled as they watched them.
"Girls...what would we do without our men?!", Kiara giggled as she proceeded to sip on her champagne.
"We wouldn't have as much aggravation from them!", Leticia joked.
"True, true!", Peaches and Renee' laughed.
Woody proceeded to shake his head at Renee’ while slipping his arm around her waist.
"Oh yall always got the jokes!", Larry laughed with a shake of his head.
"Always, my brotha!", Deborah laughed as she laid her head on his shoulder.
For the next few hours everyone sat in the dining room to eat and watch Mark and Kiara open their anniversary gifts. Then Tamir and Peaches made an announcement of their own.
"We're happy to announce that there will be a new addition to the family.", Tamir slyly grinned as he sat back in his chair while holding onto Peaches' hand.
"Mannnnnnnnnn...are you sayin' what I THINK you're sayin'?!", Rufus asked with widened eyes.
"Yup! Mar is gonna have anotha playmate besides Mark, Jr.", Peaches grinned as she glanced across the table at Mark and Kiara.
"Awwwwww...my girl gettin' ready to have anotha rugrat!", Kiara happily giggled as she jumped up from her seat to go hug Peaches.
"Ok...you'd betta be glad that you’re my girl to be callin' my baby a d
n rugrat!", Peaches laughed as she and Kiara tightly hugged each other.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Early the next morning, Kiara woke up and as usual, leaned over and lightly kissed Mark on the forehead as he slept on his back.
"If I didn't love you so much, I would say that your slobbin' is really disgustin' instead of cute right now!", she thought to herself as she quietly giggled.
After climbing out of the bed and stretching, she went to check on Mark, Jr. who was sound asleep. However, she picked him up out of his crib to change his diaper and feed him.
"You have no idea how proud your daddy is of you, boo boo.", she smiled as he stared up into her eyes while drinking from his bottle. "You're his lil' man or should I say BIG man!", she joked. Although he was 3 1/2 months old, he was a lil' chubby and had a healthy appetite. When she was finished feeding him, she rocked him back to sleep and proceeded to head out to the patio.
A few minutes later, Mark woke up and noticed that Kiara wasn’t next to him.
After stepping out of the bathroom, he went down to the baby's nursery to see if she was in there with him. However, he only saw Mark, Jr. who was sound asleep. But Mark couldn't resist picking him up out of his crib.
"W'sup lil' man!", he smiled as he held him in his arms before sitting down in the rocking chair with him. "Is ma downstairs fixin' breakfast?"
While watching his father talking to him, the baby reached his little arm up and placed his hand on Mark's mouth. Mark pretended to nibble on it which made the baby smile.
"What'cha grinnin' at, boy?!", Mark laughed. "Are you laughin' at daddy?! Yeah, he laughin' at daddy! C'mon, man...let's go see ma ma."
"She's not in here. Where could she be?", Mark asked the baby as he walked with him into and then out of the kitchen. Just then, he looked up and noticed that the patio door was slightly open.
"You wanna go outside to see ma ma?", Mark asked as he and the baby headed for the door. But when he saw Kiara wrapped up in her afghan, he had a change of mind.
"Uh oh...it's prolly juss a tad bit too coo' out there for ya. I'ma lay you down in here while I go see her okay?" He proceeded to lie the baby down in his playpen back in the den and took the baby monitor with him.
"Daddy'll be back in a few minutes.", he smiled.
Kiara was deep in thought as she looked out on the clear blue June sky while wrapped up in her afghan. She repeatedly thanked God for bringing her, Mark and their friends through everything that had taken place over the past few months. Then she heard the patio door slowly sliding open.
"G'mornin'.", she smiled as Mark walked over to her.
"G'mornin', boo.", he smiled back. "Mind if I join you?"
"Now you know I don't.", she giggled as she held one of her arms open for him to sit next to her under the afghan. After sitting down and placing the monitor next to him, he proceeded to wrap his arms around her and kiss her on the cheek.
"I love mornings like this.", she sighed as she laid her head on his shoulder.
"So do I, but I love you and my son more.", he grinned as he held her tightly.
"And I love you too.", she whispered.
She and Mark then proceeded to watch the beautiful sunrise together which was just another indicator of the beautiful days ahead for their family.
