They make it in the house.
Zac: Baby that's up?
Fatima: Yes baby, here I come.
Fatima: Go get a shower and ima go up and talk to Zac. I'll be back down.
Fatima goes upstairs
Zac: Baby where you go?
Fatima: I had something to take care of?
Zac: At this time of night?
Fatima: I found Aisha. And she's alive
Zac: Baby what? Well where is she?
Fatima: She's downstairs.
Zac: Is she okay?
Fatima: No but she will be. I wanted to talk to you about her staying here for a min.
Zac: Baby you don't have to ask me that. Ofc she can.
Fatima: I know I don't. I just wanted to be respectful, yes she's my sister. But you're also my husband and we do have babies. I didn't want to just bring her into our home without asking you, out of respect.
Zac: And I love that you thought about me in making a decision. But baby I don't mind, she's your sister and she needs you right now more than anything. I can understand if it was a different circumstance but right now this is one of those situations where you don't need my permission.
Fatima: Why are you so amazing?
Zac: Because I have an amazing wife who's just as amazing. Baby you both need each other right now.
Fatima: These last two weeks has not been easy at all. And you've stood by my side, lost sleep, cried with me, encouraged me, motivated me, been my strength, my comfort, my guidance, my counselor, etc, through this whole process. And I thank you so much baby.
Zac: Why you always thanking me for doing something that is my job. I'm supposed to be all those things.
Fatima: I just want you to feel appreciated and to know that what you do and everything that you are doesn't go unnoticed.
Zac: I'm your husband and you are my wife. We are each other strength. We supposed to be able to lean on each other. But in this moment your sister needs you and you need her as well. So go tend to her and I will be right up here waiting on you.
Fatima: You're not going to come down?
Zac: No, have you moment with her. I will be just fine.
Fatima: You gonna wait up for me?
Zac: Yes I will.
Fatima: Okay, I love you
Zac: And I love you more.
Fatima: I'll be right back.
Zac: Okay.
They embraced each other with a kiss and Fatima goes back downstairs.
Fatima: Hey sis, you good?
Aisha: Yes I'm good.
Fatima: What do you want to eat?
Aisha: Honestly sis it's late. How about you wait and cook later. That way you can rest and start all over when the sun comes up.
Fatima: You sure?
Aisha: Yes, but you can you come lay down with me and talk like the good old days.
Fatima: I can definitely do that.
They got in bed and talked
Aisha: So how have the babies been?
Fatima: The babies are good. Ava is such an amazing sweet baby. I was crying and she said " ma ma don't cry. And wiped my tears.
Aisha: She's her mother child.
Fatima: Aisha can I ask you something?
Aisha: Anything?
Fatima: Do you feel safe?
Aisha: As in having a safe space or just in life in general?
Fatima: Yes having a safe space.
Aisha: Honestly, I guess for a while I haven't.
Fatima: What happened?
Aisha: I'm not sure honestly. I guess I lost a part of me.
Fatima: Do you feel like I neglected you in a way?
Aisha: Yes and no. Yes because I feel like I've lost my best friend. No because, you're happy with your own family. And I love that for you.
Fatima: I don't want you to feel like that. And you didn't lose me Aisha, I'm still here. I get that I have a husband and two lil ones, but you're also still my sister Aisha. And you should be freely open to say how you feel. I've always told you that. And always been honestly with how you feel, why stop now?
Aisha: Because I didn't want to sound selfish.
Fatima: That's not being selfish Aisha. Listen you are my sister and I love you more you'll ever know. So don't feel like you've lost me just because I have my own family. Because you're still apart of my family. All you gotta do is pick up the phone and call, and I will make time for you. But I don't know that's what you want, unless you say something.
Aisha: You have a big heart Ti and you've always looked out for your family. I just wish that I could give you half of what you've given to me.
Fatima: All I want is for you to be my lil sister, and to heal. Nothing else matters right now but that. Can you do that for me?
Aisha: I can.
Fatima: So don't worry about anything else. You know that I always got you, and anything you need I got it. So don't ever be afraid to ask.
Aisha: I love you sis
Fatima: And I love you so much more. Now get some rest. So we can go out later and spend some quality time together with just you and I.
Aisha: Okay sis. And thank you again.
Fatima: You're more than welcome. I'm about to go back up and get some sleep myself. You gonna be okay?
Aisha: Yes, I will be okay.
Fatima: Okay sis, Goodnight
Aisha: Good night sis
Fatima went back upstairs and got in bed
Zac: Hey baby, everything okay?
Fatima: It will be. I'ma get her the right help she needs.
Zac: What about Faith
Fatima: Hmmm, She is part of the family now so I don't know, we'll see.
Zac: Goodnight my queen, I love you.
Fatima: Goodnight my king, I love you more.
They embraced each other, prayed, and drifted off to sleep.
