She took her time walking up the stairs, the place was so extravagant and decorated flawlessly for the occasion, with balloons everywhere and a big 'WELCOME HOME KAHDEJA' in letter balloons that brought tears to her eyes.
She gripped Daniel's hands, "relax, they'll love you" she gaze up and nod, the whole family was there, a big home welcome party for their daughter that has been taken for sixteen years, Deja couldn't believe her eyes, she was the first to go in front of her.
"You look like your Dad, you're so beautiful"Deja smiled touching her cheeks with her right hand"I searched for you, day and night, without any sleep I had been hospitalized for months because I couldn't eat, so many sleepless nights because I thought someone was hurting you or treating you terribly. My baby how I missed you so much I'll never let anyone take you again, I will die before I let anyone harm my princess" she pulled her on her chest and cried, Kahdeja was already attached to her mother her warmth and true affection from before she even knew they were mother and daughter. Her arms wrapped around her felt familiar and safe.
"I thought something was wrong too, and I'm glad I found you too, please doh mek dem tek me again, I can't bear it anymore" she sobbed as Deja rubbed her back and kiss her forehead with tears running down her face.
"Never, I won't allow it".
Killian stepped toward her, she liked him too, the way how he protect her that night with his life without knowing about her, "I'm sorry-" she just hugged him tightly, without a word.
And Killian cried, no one has seen him cry since their birth or at his wedding, "I will punish whoever had a hand in this act, I promise to give you the world and treat you like a princess you are, my princess, I'm so sorry daddy couldn't protect you enough, don't forgive me"Killian left a kiss on her forehead and walked away to the bathroom.
Deja held up her hand saying she'll be back soon and ran after him, Kadeem stood up shaking like a leaf, because of Daniel's glares he wondered if he should talk or move.
She didn't blame her parents, it was just fate, Kahdeja walked to Kadeem he stepped off to meet her halfway in his grey suit.

"You have dreamy eyes and I like your suit very classy" she chuckled, pulling him for a brotherly hug.
"Thank you, your dress is very pretty" he smiles, he thought she would avoid him or slap him.
And he begged her to forgive him, "it's okay, I forgive you, bighead, but next time you try fight mi yuh Betta beg god fi help you I'll kill you," she said seriously.
"I'll keep that in mind sister, I missed you, welcome home to your new family, doesn't he scare you" he whispered in her ears as Daniel watched from his table with his family.
"No, he's my friend".
"Well he's our cousins, barely, a lot of fucked up things happen in our parent's past, ok so nobody wants you to feel overwhelmed, so little by little people will come to say hello and I'll give you the tea on them" she grinned and he opened a chair for her to sit then did the exact same for himself.
