Morissa walked up and down the balcony practicing authority. She looked at a bunny rabbit watching ber and she shouted "YOU WILL DO AS I SAY OR ILL THROW YOU INTO THE DUNGEON!" She shouted and the rabbit hopped to her like she was it's mother.  Morissa sighed sitting down .
"I know. Intimidating isn't my thing I'm too nice mister rabbit ." She sighed. He hopped on her and he sat on her lap. " God I need help to be firm and not so sweet...maybe an angel? A guide?" Morissa prayed.  The rabbit sniffed her hand in comfort.
"I can't be mean to you rabbit. You're too cute. " Morissa kissed its head.
"Maybe that's your super power."  A middle
Aged woman said. Morissa looked at her. She was rocking In a chair.  Morissa looked at her closely.  In her spirit she knew this woman was someone close. Was she an angel? No she could not be. Morissa just ignored the thought and stood.
"I'm sorry?"
"I think your niceness is what makes you who you are. It would be ashamed to get rid of yourself for anybody else sweet thing. " the woman said and Morissa smiled.  She Sat by the lady.
"I'm morissa. " Morissa greeted.
"Nice to meet you Morissa. " the woman said with a smile. 
"What's your name?" Morissa asked.
"My name is Quinette ." The woman answered.
"Oh that's my great grandmas middle name but she passed away before I was born ." Morissa explained delighted to meet her.
"Small world of name's. "
"I know.  I'm trying to be unique with my future children's name." Morissa chuckled. "Are you a queen?"
"No not yet." Morissa said and the woman held her hand.
"You'll be amazing. " she whispered.
"Mori! Lunch! " Passion shouted.
"Coming!!" Morissa shouted turning away for a second. She turned right back to Quinette but she had been gone .
.....
Morissa was watching the crown on Netflix with passion she yawned at the politics.
"Boring . But meaningful." Passion said to her cousin. Morissa turned off the TV and ran with passion chasing her laughing.
"Mori. Come on. " passion giggled. 
"Never!" Mori shouted dramatically. 
"Richard come get your little cousin. " passion called. Richard arose from his drawings of his next blueprint .  He saw the two running around like children.
"Alright Alright you two. " Richard said sitting Morissa down with his wife . The doorbell rang and Richard went to the door and there was his best buds Blake and zeke. They brought their girlfriends and drinks.
"Is that the highness of Nigeria I see?" Jane shouted.
"JANIE!!!" Morissa shouted running to her friend's.  She hugged them all waking up jade and summer.  They all sat on the couch.
....
Blake sat with his short friend Morissa. He saw her eyes of question and confusion.
"You okay rie ?" Blake asked.
"You know me linc I don't talk much about my issue's. "
"That's not what Denym told me ."
"He sent you?"
"No."
"Monzo. "Morissa sighed .
"You know you can come home."  Blake told her and her tears fell from the comfort of her best friends voice but it wasn't that easy.
"My home isn't in belton anymore Blake. " Morissa said defeated looking away from him.
"Yes it is. " Blake said sternly to this stubborn girl.
"I'm devoted to Nigeria  now my heart can't be in two places!' Morissa shouted.
"Yes it can. "
"DAMN IT WHY DID YOU COME HERE?.... I'M ALREADY CONFUSED ."
"BECAUSE YOUR BROTHER IS WORRIED ABOUT YOU! WE ALL ARE!" Blake shouted back and Morissa dashed out of the house after everyone stared at them.  She walked down the street crying . She didn't know where she should be. 
.....
They waited for her to come back. She came in and she apologized to Blake and everyone else.  Morissa packed her things and said good bye to everyone and went on the flight. The flight to belton.
....
Torissa was cutting vegetables making Morissa's favorite . Her mother instincts felt her troubles way before Denym talked to her this morning. Kalvin came home with flowers for his worried wife.
"Awww thanks Alvin. " Torissa said kissing his lips.
"Anything for My worried wife." Kalvin whispered stroking her hair. Torissa turned back cutting the carrots.
"She hasn't called. " Torissa said.
"She will when she needs us."
"She's stubborn damn it She's like you." Torissa said aggressively cutting potatoes now. Kalvin grabbed the knife and sat her down.
"Before you cut the house down let's relax. " kalvin said being calm and half frightened. "I was just cutting potatoes dear." Torissa mumbled as Morissa would.
"Of course baby. " kalvin sighed not trying to get on her bad side.  Suddenly the door opened and there stood Morissa.
"Mama." Morissa said faintly and Torissa ran quickly to her voice.  She stood seeing her tired daughter and the person behind her was almonzo. He had waited for her at the airport because she texted him later that night.  Torissa hugged her tightly. 
"Can you call my husband.  I think I have to postpone my party." Morissa whispered. 
"I got that baby girl you just rest." Kalvin said kissing her head.
.......
"She's finally asleep. " Torissa said rolling up her heart monitor . "Her heart rate was low . Thank God she's alright. My baby is safe now. " Torissa ranted. Almonzo sighed sitting down and torissa went to Almonzo as if he were a child.
"Son."
"Mama."
"I know that sigh."
"What sigh I didn't sigh. " almonzo defended.  Kalvin shrugged and almonzo looked at him.
"What it was a sigh. "
"Yeah the frustrated kind. " Torissa agreed.
"More like the sad one. You know like a walrus. " kalvin described with his wife.
"Now your offending me." Almonzo warned.
"Sorry. " the parent's said together. Almonzo sighed and looked at his hands.
"I visited grandpa. "
"How is he?" Torissa asked because he father wasn't well these days. Usually when Morissa was sick so was he and he'd get a visit from almonzo. Almonzo looked at Torissa.
"Mom he's dying. "
....
Torissa sat drinking tea with her father.  Kalvin and Jason watched their communication with their eye's. 
"Can we not silently speak I wanna gear what's happening. " kalvin said and torissa swallowed then she spoke.
"You are expecting me not to cry after I finally got you back for 17 year's.  It's not fair and how could you tell Monzo before me ? I'm your daughter. " torissa said getting her frustration out of the way.
"I didn't tell him he over heard my voice messages. " Ace answered his daughter.
"Poor boy." Torissa mumbled sadly for her son.
"I couldn't tell you Robin and little Robin. She's going through enough already. " ace explained.  "Plus you two are trying for another I wouldn't want to put stress on you." Ace continued he held his head down  . "I rather die .....alone with no one knowing because.....I don't want to see every moping for God's sake ." Ace said standing and facing the window .
"You gotta tell her daddy because I can't I know kalvin won't. "
"What about you jay?" Ace asked his old friend.
"What would you say if it were me ?" Jason asked him. Ace chuckled and cleared his throat with one tear escape.
"Get out. " ace simply said and torissa arose with kalvin and Jason to leave.  Before they left torissa ran and hugged him. She sobbed.
"Everybody dies sweet girl. It doesn't nake it easy on your old man when you're crying like that. " Ace whispered  .
"Your right I'm sorry. " Torissa said wiping her tears . Torissa went out with Jason . Kalvin walked to him.
"So much for the lucky three." Ace said to kalvin.
"What is it?" Kalvin asked willing to do anything for tori as always .
"You know my wife Quinette she used to ask me that all the time when I wouldn't tell her what's wrong. Before she died she even asked me what is it? Why aren't you smiling  Ace ? I'm going wirh the best card in the game the king. " ace said crying now.
"Dad. What is it?" Kalvin asked again.
"I need a new liver but apparently nobody ain't died the size of me." Ace explained being a fit 60  year old man . "I got 5 months. "
"We'd find one by then."
"I've been looking all year son." Ace whispered . "I can't even enjoy that good wine you got me for Father's day. I enjoyed drinking with you. "
"We will drink again. " kalvin assured his best friend. " just let's try again . Don't give up yet atleast for tori and the twins ." Kalvin said and ace nodded.
"If it doesn't work son....just make sure Torissa stays happy and my grandchildren stay as joyful and reckless like usual.  And you kid......stay strong . If you lose yourself the whole family will come down with you. " Ace advised looking at kalvin. "Promise. "
"I promise. "
