"Fatima Taylor speaking." "Hello Mrs. Taylor, this is Dr. Jeffery Murray from CarePoint Medical and Associates."

Fatima's eyes light up, as she starts to wave to Big Ma to get her attention.

"Uh yes." Placing the phone on speaker. "Hello Dr. Murray. How can I help you?" "Please Call me Dr. Jeff." "Ok." "Well, I came across your resume and I have a position opening in one of my clients. I was calling to see if you were still interested?"

Big Ma claps her hands softly celebrating Fatima's win, who is equally excited.

"Yes. Dr. Jeff. I'm still very much interested." "Great. Now I have a busy schedule. Would you mind doing a zoom interview?" "No, I don't mind that at all." Fatima replied, with relief.

Even though the kids were gone, she had been in a slight slump and didn't like leaving the house too much.

"Great. I'll have my secretary email you the date and the details and we'll talk soon." "Yes. Dr. Jeff. I look forward to it." "Great. See you soon." "See you soon." "Bye." As they hung up.

Screaming, "well alright nah Cupcake." Big Ma celebrated. "Oh my God, did that really just happen?" "It shol did. But I told ya it would." "You did Big Ma. Thank you." "Nah baby. Thank Jesus." She tells her. "He always makes a way."

Fatima smiles, nodding in agreement,

"I gotta tell Zac..." as she takes her phone into her hands, texting...

Fatima:
Hey Baby Daddy, got good news call me later🤔🥺

Zac:
🥳🤩👍🏾🖤

Fatima smiles at his response knowing whenever he responds like that he's at work but still takes the time to acknowledge what she says.

It was another thing that makes her fall in love with him all over again because no matter what he's doing. She never feels ignored or goes unheard, while Zac makes sure to always make time for her.

A few hours later...

Fatima is in the kitchen making dinner for her and Big Ma. When there is a knock at the door.

"Who could that be?" She uttered, knowing that people usually call before coming over because they know Big Ma don't play.

She creeps towards the door cautiously, making sure to not make a sound. She looks toward the living room noticing Big Ma is still napping then she hears the knock again,

As she got closer, she sees a massive shadow of something but can't make it out.

Immediately she grabs her glock from the secret hiding place and says, "hold on please."

"It's George." "Oh!" Fatima utters knowing exactly who it is now. "Hang on one second George." She giggles, putting the gun away..

"What has Zac gotten into now?" She uttered playfully, shaking her head.

Considering George has already been by the house to drop off their flowers, she was curious to know what he had from Zac this time.

Opening the door, "Oh My Goodness. George!" She yelps with a chuckle.

"Yeah this big guy is pretty heavy." He struggled, holding the six foot five inch teddy bear wrapped up tight in plastic with a red bow on the top of it.

Considering George was only 5'11" the bear towered him.

"Please bring it in and sit it right here." As she motioned him to sit it on the shoe seat by the door.
