Finding Joy

Chapter 42

Devins POV

"I'm home!" I yelled coming through the door with pizza and groceries.

"Daddy!" Cara yelled as Derrick chased her.

She rushed over to me yelling and laughing.
"The monster!" She said pointing.

"Uncle D is the monster?"I scrunched my face up

"Yes." She said laughing as I kissed on her cheeks.

I nodded my head. "It's believable. He is ugly." I said causing her to cover her mouth.

"But he a Thomas. I thought Thomas no ugly." She pouted.

"Right Devin. I thought all Thomas's were beautiful people." My brother said adding fuel to the fire.

"I can explain that."I said looking in between the two of them "we brought him on the Internet." She said.

She gasped. "The bird no bring you?" She asked him covering her hands with her mouth.

"No. They didn't FedEx did." I said shaking her head and she sighed.

"I'm so sorry uncle d." She said causing me to laugh and him to grimace at me.

"I'm telling Lauren why you lying?" He asked

"Oh daddy you lie!" She gasped

"No princess we weren't supposed to tell him that's all. He's in denial." I explained.

"It's okay. Come on uncle D. You play tea with me." She said

"Can I get the big cup?" He pouted

"Of course. Only one time though . It my cup."
She said leading him into her and Melanie's play room. I smiled laughing at them.

He's so childish.

I yelled out "melly belly!" I said after putting up all the food.

"Uncle Dee Dee!" She yelled back

"Kitchen kid." I said telling her my location.

She came inside holding her doll wearing a white jacket

"What you doing kiddo?" I asked her.

"Working on Sasha's hair. It look bad." She said.

"Yeah, her hair look stiff." I nodded.

"Mmhm. I got to call uncle Erin so he can help me." She said.

"What! Why call him I'm standing right here." I said

"You don't do hair." She shrugged and I nodded.

"Alright fine but I brought one of my favorite girls something today though." I grinned.

She smiled. "Really what you get?" She asked.

"I got some flowers. Some pizza and ice cream plus a little something special" I said giving her the flowers and a small gift bag.

She smiled. "Aww for me!" She said.

I smirked. "Of course my for you melly Mel. " I said.

She kissed my cheek and opened the bag to see a card, a pair of diamond earrings and a juicy couture bracelet and necklace I picked out for her engraved on the back it said to my melly Mels from uncle Dee Dee.

"Aww thank you." she said hugging me.

"You're welcome." I told her hugging her back.

"What did I do to get all of this?" She asked me.
