Hey Mr.Kingston, Good morning.

A good morning it is little lady, how are you?

Tired, but I guess that's to be expected when your carrying a whole little human.

Yes indeed, but it's almost over.

I cannot wait. Did your fruit man come in today ?

No, he had some trouble with his truck so he couldn't make it.

Hearing him say that disappointed the hell out of me. I was addicted to the scarlet plums here and Mr.Kingstons fruit man always had the best and juiciest ones.

Don't look so down little lady, I got up a little earlier than normal and went to pick them up myself just for you.

A big smile instantly formed on my face.

There's that beautiful smile of yours, I'll go to the back and get them.

Kaiiiiii.

I turned around to see my favorite little person. Hi Marley, I like your dress, you look pretty.

Thank you she said smiling showing her two front missing teeth and hugging me or my belly for that matter.

I can't wait until she gets here, we're going to have so much fun and I'm going to teach her how to hula-hoop and sing.

She'll have the best teacher in the world I said smiling at her.

Chile shoo, give Kaisha her space.

She's fine Mrs.Kingston.

That chile is a busy one. Just like ha father. How are you and baby doing this morning?

We're fine. How are you?

I woke up so I'm blessed, did Jax get you your plums?

Yes, he went to the back to get them.

Ah good, are you coming to the dinner tonight?

Yes ma'am me and my big belly will be there.

Since I've been here Mr. & Mrs.Kingston has treated me like their own. They were both born and raised here and have a store that has been in the community for over 20 years.Mrs.Kingston has a very thick accent and she speaks in her native tongue a lot. They are such good people and I'm thankful to have met them. They have 3 sons. Jax Jr is their oldest and he's married with 4 kids. He lives a few hours away so they don't see him as much. Their second son is June and he lives in California. They don't really talk about him that much. Then there's their youngest son Niles, I've been here for 9 months and i have yet to see him, he's also Marleys father. The dinner that they're having tonight is for him.

Here we are Mr.Kingston said as he sat the crate full of scarlet plums on the counter. Are you going straight home?

Yes.

Ok I'll have them dropped off to you. It's quite heavy and I can't have you lifting it.

Thank you so much I appreciate it I said as I went in my purse to pay him.

No no this batch is on me.

Are you sure?

Yes. I'll get them to you as soon as possible.

Ok well I'm gonna get out of here I'll see you all later.

Ok little lady take care.

I left Mr. & Mrs.Kingstons store got in my car then headed home.
