Spencer and Miracle were taking a walk through the neighborhood on the peaceful warm Fall day. Well , he was technically riding in his motorized wheelchair as opposed to actually walking but little Miracle was strutting pretty good as she tentatively stepped along ahead of him attached to the little pink leash he held firmly in his hand.
She looked back at him with twinkling eyes of love and happiness as she chirped out while clapping her hands," Ice cream, Papa ! "
Spencer smiled softly at his ponytailed daughter. " Yes. I think today would be an excellent day for ice cream. Maybe we can call Daddy and have him meet us at the mall with the other children. What's your favorite ice cream, precious ?"
Still clapping, she said," Chocolate, chocolate, chocolate! "
His smile grew. His little darling was as smart as he was. He could see her already at George Washington University as a math major. Like her Papa. Especially since Luci had decided she wanted to follow DuBuis into medicine one day. Then his smile slipped as he saw an awful sight ahead of them.
That hideous Simms/ Salmon thing pushing an elaborate stroller that contained her screaming identical triplet daughters. Well. The day had been good. Even ice cream had lost its appeal now.
" Oh , look ," LuLu purred to her spawns as her cold eyes swept over her neighbor/ enemy. " Girls, it's that dreadful little man , Wheels, and his strange looking child. "
Spencer was offended. How dare she call his and DuBuis' daughter strange looking? With her soft strawberry blonde curly hair and big blue green eyes Miracle was adorable. Especially her chubby apple cheeks. And Miracle never cried. Like those triplets of hers. " Miracle is quite beautiful. Everyone says so."
LuLu smirked," Oh, really? Well , I don't know about that. I say my darlings are way prettier. They're half Black after all. Your Molly is just plain old White. But if you really think she's.... attractive why don't you put her in the Lil Miss Baby Hyattsville pageant? I've entered my cuties here. Then we'll see the truth. "
He narrowed his eyes behind his glasses. " Her name is Miracle. And maybe I will. She'll win too ! "
" I don't think so. One of the triplets will win. Maybe they all will. "
" I doubt that. They inherited your beady eyes and double chin. "
Miracle pointed at the noisy babies in the multi seat stroller. " Loud. Babies loud. Papa , hurt ears. "
