Two weeks later we go to see my parents. End puts on jeans and a nice shirt. He comes toward me and waits for my approval. "Ed, now you should do something with the mop on your head." He laughs, nods, and goes to his room to look for a comb or brush. After a minute he screams "MaKenzie! Do you have a comb or brush!?" "For black people hair!" I scream back. "Can I try it!?" I go to my room and snatch up my comb and brush and hand them to him. He smiles and lays his hair flat in two seconds. I look at him astonished and he shrugs "My grandma got me lessons." I laugh as he grabs my hand and drags me out of the door. He demands to drive, so I grudgingly let him. He's driving and laughing like a kid in a candy store while I'm trying not to throw up. The slowest we go is 80mph I swear. When we get there I stumble out of the car but he gently pushes me back inside. "What are you doing?" I ask but he ignores me completely as he closes my door. He opens it up again a second later and beckons for my hand to help me out. I smile and say "That's 30 seconds of my life I will never get back. He laughs and tries to grab my hand but I snatch it away playfully. He frowns and grabs me by my waist and pulls me toward him, kissing my cheek. I laugh and grab his hand and guide him to the front door. I knock and release his hand when my mom answerers the door. When she sees me she bear hugs me. I laugh and hug her back. When she sees Ed she let's me go and hugs him just as forcefully hugs him. When she let's him go we walk into the house happily. When I go into the kitchen I see my dad.
He smiles at me and I hug him with all my might. " Daddy, we need to talk." I say dragging him to the sitting area. He and my mom sit on the couch holding hands. "Mr and Mrs. Wood, we have an announcement." He looks at the ground. "Me and MaKenzie are engaged." Both my parents gasp. My mom happily, my dad not so much. "And were having twins." My mom screams of joy and my dad starts toward Ed. "Daddy, its not his fault." I say getting in between them. "MaKenzie Jaimes Wood go to your room." He says but I don't budge. "Daddy-" "NOW!" "Daddy I'm moving out!" I scream and it goes silent, so I continue. "I am 24 years old! I can take care of myself." "My baby's growing up." My mom says standing up and walking towards me. "If you ever need anything at all. Don't hesitate to call." " Dana!" My dad screams "Did she get pregnant at 16?" My mom asks "No." "Is she on drugs?" "No." "Then what's the problem? Like she said she's 24 years old. Let her live a little." My mom says. Its silent again until my dad speaks up. "Your growing up. I'm not ready." I hug him tightly and he continues. "Your still six in my head. You still wanna know why the sky isn't purple. You'll always be my little girl okay?" "Of course." I say smiling. He pulls away and walks over to Ed. "If you ever hurt my girl. Just one time. I'll kill you." Ed nods and my mom says "Well let's eat."
