UNTIL GRACE

Chapter 25

After Queen and Sarah got ready, they left to meet Harry and Unity who were waiting outside the mall.

Unity was reading while Harry was playing a game on her tablet.

The teens looked at each other and smiled, "we're ready."

She and Harry looked up simultaneously. Harry gasped, while Unity couldn't even get the words out.

"Wow, she looks like an angel!" Harry chided throwing his arms around Queen's waist.

She bent over and gave him a light kiss on his head. For once he was really acting like the child he is.

"Mom, what do you think?" Sarah turned to her mom who's eyes were now getting cloudy with tears.

"What should I say? You, you look beautiful, Q. Like Harry said, like an angel, just like an angel."

She got up and hugged Queen, both of them letting the tears roll down.
"Sorry to interrupt, but the party starts in an hour thirty, so we got to get going."

"Wait, mom, I have a suggestion, if it's fine with you."

"Of course, dear, anything for you."

"Can you, dad, Harry and I wear matching outfits?"

Unity squealed while nodding her head making everyone laugh.

Sarah received a message from her dad asking her to come to a specific address.

"You guys go ahead, my dad just asked me to meet him somewhere, I'll join you soon enough."

"Kk, bye!” They replied as she got on a cab and soon was on her way to the area.

"It's great to see you again miss," the man next to her said and she looked at him.

"Do I know you?" She asked taking in the man's image. She had seen him before. He was wearing a baggy t-shirt and a jean with a pair of white sneakers. He was no doubt mixed race as his skin was light brown and had curly black hair with green eyes.

"How do I say this? Uh, I'm the man who tried to kidnap the little girl a few weeks ago."

Her eyes widened in shock, "aren't you supposed to be in police custody or something?"

The man laughed, "not exactly, I wasn't very stable at the time, so they let me go. Or rather, called family to bail me out."

"Oh... But why were you so determined to take her?"

"My daughter died eight years ago," he said and Sarah looked at him confused. He didn't look that old.
"I don't look that old right? Well her mom and I had her at eighteen and nineteen. And I loved them. But three years ago, I lost both of them in a car accident. A car I was driving and so I couldn't come to terms with the fact that they were no more and I became mentally unstable.
When I saw that girl, I tried luring her in like I used to play with my daughter because I felt like she was her."

"Oh, but if you were mentally unstable for so long, how are you fine now? In just about a month?"

"I didn't understand either. But when the girl told me Jesus loves me, something unexplainable happened something extraordinary and I woke up the next day normal. I mean, I was fine, just fine and I could think well and all."

"Wow, what can't God do? Even through a five year old girl, he freed you. I'm Sarah by the way, and you are?"

"Dominic. A pleasure to have met you. This time at least and how is your sister by the way?" He said emphasizing on sister which made her laugh.

"I guess you know she's not really my sister, but she's fine. Where are you going?"

"To the cemetery where my wife and daughter were buried. I'd like to say hi and apologize to them."

As the taxi reached the address, she stepped out, "my sincere condolences but do remember Jesus loves you and I'm sure he'll bring someone worth loving into your life, trust me," she paid and ran towards her dad.

"So who was that?" Her dad asked leading her past the gate of the huge building.

"A story for later, but why and where are we?"

"Reign, so Ivan came to me last Monday and told me he wanted to make things right."

"Between you and me, if it were up to the guy, he'd give us all his property."

Her dad laughed, "yeah, well, he brought me here and said this was the best studio he could find." He opened the doors and she gasped.
Studious were supposed to be smaller than what she saw, but this was practically a house.
"Sarah, he told me this is my studio," she turned in shock, using her hand to cover her mouth just as her eyes began to water.

"This is my new studio that is accompanied with not only a brand new car but a fine beautiful music contract. Of course the man offered me more but this was already too much."

"I can't believe it!" She engulfed her dad in a hug and let her tears roll down. "God bless him dad, God bless him and his whole family," she coughed out.

"Indeed, indeed sweetie," he agreed placing a kiss on her head. "You know, I wish your mother were alive to see this."

"Me too, but dad, I know that she's really proud of you, she is proud of us."

He smiled and they stayed that way for a while before Sarah got a call that the party was about to start.

"Queen's birthday party is starting now, we better get going," they attempted leaving but her dad stopped.

He gave her a grin, "how about we use our God given car to get there?" He asked and she shared the same wide grin.

Once on the road, Sarah smiled looking at her father, it was really making her heart swell with joy at the sight of his happiness.

It marveled her how at one point in time she felt like all was lost and at another, she wishes time would stop so she could have the moment forever.

Her phone brought her out of her thoughts. It was a notification from an app that not only helps her pray but gives her motivational quotes.

What can't be done in a thousand years, God can do in a moment.

After reading it she smiled. "Okay dad, it's just here. See you at the main party!" She shouted alighting the car and running to Queen who waved her over.
