Coming Home (completed ✅)

Chp 10

Terrence POV
So since me and the kids have reunited and they wanted me to take them out for ice cream first then that's what we will be doing. Speaking of that, we are actually having ice cream right now. And I decided to just ask them a few questions since I been away from them for so long. So I can get to know them.

Well I already know T'Arra but she's older now and as you get old your mindset changes. And with my son, to be honest I really don't know him. Yes, i know it's sad but that's why I'm reconnecting with my kids so I can have the chance to know them like I should and we can build our Father & Son, Father & Daughter relationship.

And since I've already reunited with my kids and I'm trying to make things right with them, my next step is to make things right with Taraji. I have already made things right with her but I'm not talking about in that kind of way. I'm talking about relationship wise kind of way. I want us to be a family.

"So Little man, what you wanna be when you grow up?" I asked him. "I don't know" he answered. "It's ok, you'll figure it out when you get older" I told him. I turnt my attention towards my daughter. "Baby girl, what do you want to be when you grow up? Do you still want to be a lawyer like you told me when you were little?" I questioned, she laughed.

"Well, actually.... I love dogs. And when I say I love dogs I mean I absolutely love them so my plan is to start my own little business.. you know something to benefit dogs" she told me. I nodded. "Sounds good. What's your favorite breed of dogs?" I wondered.

"Chihuahua" "what type of chihuahua though? Apple head, teacup, deer head?" "Apple head" she informed. "Ok, and don't think I forgot either" she was left with a confused face.

"Your birthday" I clarified. "Ohhhh" she trialed off. "Yeah it's in a week so I'm gonna try and talk to your mama about that" I told her. "But all jokes aside, I might was away from you two for a while but things I would never forget is y'all, y'all birthday, the year y'all was born, age and name.." I vented.

"Well what year was I born and when is my birthday ?" T'Arra teased. "Oh that's easy, February 22nd, 2006" i imparted. "Correct" she stated.

"And when is mine?" Asked Tyree. "That's easy too, May 1st, 2014" I said. He smiled.

After everything, we all finished our ice cream. "Ok you two so what I'm gonna do is, I'm gonna take you all to meet your uncles and auntie. T'Arra you will basically reunite with them but Tyree you will actually be meeting them for the first time. Yes they have met you before but you were too young to remember so.." I explained.

"What about reuniting with Grandma? I miss her too" T'Arra lamented. I sighed. "I'm sorry T'Arra but... Momma is gone. She's not here no more" I confessed. "What? W-what do you mean?" "Your grandma died. She had- Cancer" I admitted.

"N-no, this can't be true" her voice cracked, her eyes watering up. "It's true Babygirl and I'm sorry. I wish I could just tell you that it's not true but it is" I admitted. I pulled her in for a hug as she cried on me. "Look, I know this is a lot for you so how about we just reunite with your uncles and auntie tomorrow?" I suggested, she nodded in agreement.

The next day..
(Still Terrence POV)
It was the next day and I was finally taking the kids to reunite with their family, my side of the family. We were gonna do it yesterday but after T'Arra found out the news about her grandma passing away, she didn't take it too well so I decided to give her time to grieve. Even though she's not done grieving but I didn't want to take her around my family after I just told her that so I decided that I need to give her space, so she can try and wrap her head around the whole fact about her grandma not being here anymore. I mean if that was me, I would want someone to do me the same way.
