Morissa sat in the living room with her mother giving her some dinner her favorite chicken vegetable soup.  Morissa slowly ate it and denym came in.
"Inidulu." Denym called. She turned and stood running to him.  She lay on him and he took her food and her to her room saying good night to her mother and father .
"Sleep well you two." Torissa said gently.
"We will. "
...
Morissa was asleep tossing and turning sweating and she screamed waking up Denym who was holding her.
"Wake up morissa! " Denym said firmly she sat up breathing in and out. 
"Denym?" She called and he pulled her in his arm's.  " oh Denym. You're alive. " Morissa said hugging him.
"Ssshhhh. I'm right here." Denym whispered kissing her lips. "My angel. " Denym comforted and she fell asleep. He arose  and took a house walk to think he bumped into kalvin who was smoking.
"Oh den your awake."
"That's normal for a Nigerian  we are nocturnal.  But you are the most sleeping man I've ever met why are you awake?" Denym asked making kalvin laugh. They sat on the stools near the bar in the kitchen.
"I'm up because of something I just found out you know? I used to think I'm lucky I got three father figures more than asked for as an orphan.  Now I'm losing one of em. And I gotta tell my daughter because if I don't she'll hate me her entire life when he's dead." Kalvin answered.
"Old man Ace is it?"
"Yup. But what's wrong with you?"
"That's what I've been asking myself.  What is wrong with me. The day we married I promised her I'd protect her, to be her comfort when she's low, and to always keep that beautiful smile on her face. In spite of her sharp mout and short temper."
"I get ya there. Almost sounds like you married my wife."
"The heavens has given us our desire.  But what if we don't know what to do with it sometimes? Because I'm lost father." Denym admitted and kalvin knew that feeling oh too well.
"Just be there son. When your mom in law got shot i was furious I wanted to kill him. However she needed me more. It's weird how they automatically get well with us just standing there isn't it?" Kalvin replied.
"Yours too? I had no idea I had such abilities. " Denym chuckled with his father in law.
"Don't say anything about ace yet he's got 5 months and I'm trying to find a liver for him." Kalvin told Denym.
"Anything I can do?"
"You can join the search party?" Kalvin answered and they dapped up and said good night.  Kalvin went to bed with his wife.  She sat up.
"You smell like your parents created you with weed blood veins. "
"That's Harsh ouch. " kalvin mumbled.
"You okay?"
"Now you ask me that. "
"Alvin I've asked you 10 times today. " Torissa reminded her frustrated husband  . He paused remembering .
"Shit. Sorry babes. " kalvin said and she held him.
"How's the children?"
"Almonzo is with summer,  Morissa is finally sleeping and denym and I are just now going to bed ." Kalvin answered straightening her pillow while she straightened his. They kissed before laying down and they both joined hands shutting their eyes and after the same length they both mumbled amen.
"What did you pray for?" Kalvin asked her as always.
"Our children,  our success to continue,  our family,....my papa and you." Torissa answered.  "What about you?"
"I prayed for our marriage,  to be a better husband,  and our children,  and for ace to find a new liver soon." Kalvin said and torissa nodded.
"You think God will help us this time?" Torissa asked really wanting to know.
"He always does baby . All we can do is hope right now. " kalvin whispered and they cuddled to go to sleep. .
....
Morissa woke up and showered and dressed into a white dress. She rushed downstairs and headed outside.  She walked to kalice and owens house.  She knocked on the door and kalice arose answering it.
"OWEN ITS MORI!" Kalice shouted hugging her niece. Owen came down with Nicholas  behind him.
"That's pretty loud mama." Nicholas said and kalice froze blushing.
"Sorry baby boy." Kalice said. "I'll be quiet ."
"No mama I wanna hear you just not so loud. " Nicholas said hugging his mom. "Did I hurt your feelings?" Nicholas asked looking at her concerned.  He looked like owen.
"No  no darling.  Mama is used to your daddy and your uncle's telling me off." Kalice kissed his cheek.
"Daaaaad ."
"Yes?" Owen asked talking with Morissa.
"Can you be nicer to mama?" Nicholas asked politely and Owen looked at his wife in disbelief.
"Uh......sure little man. Honey what was that?"Owen asked walking to her whispering as Nicholas ran to Morissa.
"He told me I was too loud and he thought it hurt my feelings and I told him I'm used to you and your brothers getting on me and naturally he defended the queen. " kalice explained in a negotiating  tone.
"Uh huh."
"What I'm being honest. " kalice walked away and Owen just stared at her body.
"Uncle wen !" Morissa scolded.
"What that's my wife she's sexy. I can have a look. " Owen defended and kalice smirked winking at him. "Alice. Let's not start something we can't finish. "
"You always make sure I finish though."
"That's why you love me." Owen whispered walking out making her chuckle and blush.
"Aunt Kali can I ask you something?"
"Why don't you ask me?" Nicholas asked wanting to feel special. Morissa giggled hugging her tiny cousin and sat him on her lap. She put his hand on her cheek so he could hear her voice.  Her voice was soft and Nicholas's hearing was a bit lost. Kalice enjoyed his cousins treating him like a normal kid as they did Margo.
"Ready?"
"Yah!" He said.
"I wanted to ask you what if you have your two favorite foods and you don't know which to pick because you love them so much?"
"Why can't you have both? " Nicholas asked her as Owen stood listening .
"Because I know I can't have one when I'm eating the other one. " Morissa said.
"Not like that! Just eat one first then eat the other one.  Save the best for last That's what I do with ice cream. " Nicholas explained . Morissa then thought about it.
"You are very wise for a 4 year old. " Morissa said letting him down.
"Did I answer good?"
"You d7d amazing little buddy." Owen said ruffling his hair.  "Now let's go grandpa is waiting for you. " Owen said kissing kalice good bye.
"Bye bye mama I love you ." Nichokas said and kalice kissed his tiny nose. She pretended to be flustered at his love.
"Aye thats my wife get your own." Owen groaned kissing her again.
"I love you both." Kalice whispered kissing their cheeks making her son and husband blush.
