Chapter 99

Now for the moment of truth. What I say next could bite me in the ass or be one of the best moves I have made. “Babe, please. I love you. I have for a long time. I knew I would have to prove to you I was done with fucking around before you believe me. That is what I have been doing and until recently I thought I was proving I could be a good man to you. And a good father to Ant. I fucked up but I can’t lose you and Ant. I want us to be a family. I want you to be my ol’e lady and wife. I want you to wear my mark, kutte and ring. I want the world to you know you are
mine.” I told her.
I watched Silvy’s eyes pop open wide and her jaw drop. I can tell she is shocked by what I just told her. I forge ahead while Silvy was listening. “Everything I have done for the past two years was to show you that I can be the man you need. From giving up the skanks and any other girls for that matter. When you came to me to help you get pregnant I saw it as my in to show you I am the man you need. The only man for you. I was not going to let another man help you have a baby.” I said as I watched a tear roll down her cheek. “Silvy, I love you with all my heart. You and Ant are my entire world. Please give me another chance. I won’t fuck up this time. I swear. If I do you can have Merigold, Speed and Ailee beat the shit out of me.”
“Just please give me another chance. I can’t stand the thought of not waking up to you every morning or sleeping with you in my arms every night. The only reason I did it while I was gone was exhaustion. I want to raise Ant with you. Not some co–parent crap. I want to be a full family with you, Ant and any other kids we have. Please, babe, let me come home. Let me be your ol’e man.” I begged. Silvy opened her mouth and closed it several times before she asked the sweetest thing.” You love me?” she asked.

I listened to Goof beg for forgiveness and to come home. He begged. The Goof I know would never beg for anything. But he is in my living room, on his knees, begging. I couldn’t do anything but open my mouth so many times I must have looked like a fish and listened. The one phrase that kept going through my mind on repeat was him saying he loved me. So when he asked if he could come home that was all I could ask. “You love me?” Goof wiped his eyes and smiles. Yes, he was crying as he begged. I could see he was sincere in every word he said. He did regret his actions and I believe he will do his best next time. Or at least think before he acts.
“More than I can ever tell you. I have loved you for a few years but had my head too far up my ass to do something about it. I swear on my bike and kutte I love you and want to claim you. I will spend the rest of my life proving to you how much I love you and that you are the only woman for me.” Goof told me. He loves me. He wants to claim me for his club to know I’m his. He wants us to be a family. To raise Ant and the other kids together. Wait, other kids. I’ll get back to that later.
This is everything I have ever wanted. A good man to love me and grow old with. I wanted the family. I got one with my best friend and one of the greatest men I know. Just as I am about to give Goof my answer I hear Ant’s cry. I stand up and walk over to the portable bassinet we keep in the living room and see a wide–awake and squirming Ant. I check his diaper and change him before picking him up to go settle back on the couch. Goof is anxiously waiting for us. Once I’m settled I carefully turn Ant to look at Goof. “Look Ant. Daddy’s home.”
