Chapter 14
The next day......
Jalilah's POV
"Dulamah wake up!!", I say hitting my handsome husbands arm. "Mmm....what Lila?", he asked. "Someone ringing the doorbell", I say to him. He sits up in the bed them looks at me. "Someone's ringing the doorbell?", he asks. I nod my head. "You go see who it is. I'm not dressed", he says. "Look at me", I say throwing the sheets off of me. "Me either. Change and go see who's at the door".
He sigh and gets out of bed slipping on a pair of shorts and a t-shirt. "My teeth aren't brush. Where's my mask?", he asks looking back at me. "Go answer the damn door", I laugh out while shaking my head. He smiles then leaves out of the room.
-------------------------------------------------
A few minutes later....
"Don't you dare touch me mister! I waited for a while for you to open the fucking door", a little girls voice says. "Aye, watch you mouth", Dulamah says. "Where's Jalilah. I wanna show her something", Ayah says. "Ayah Ayah. Don't go back there", Dulamah says running. I quickly cover myself.
"Hi Jalilah", Ayah says entering the bedroom. "Um, hi", I say back to her. I look at Dulamah and he scoops her up in his arm and take her out before closing the door. I quickly get out of bed and run to the bathroom to take a nice hot shower.
Dulamah's POV
"Are you hungry?", I ask Ayah. "Nope", she says. "Ok. What did you eat for breakfast?", I ask her. "A banana", she says. "A banana? is that all?", I asked. She nodded her head. "And a cup of juice", she says. I turn around to pick up the phone to call my Foster mom Athilah.
"Salaamu alaykum", she says into the phone.
"Wa alaykum salaam", I reply back.
"Yes??", she asks.
"Why hasn't Ayah eaten a proper breakfast? just a banana and some juice come on ma", I say into the phone.
"Dulamah, we tried giving her breakfast but she wouldn't eat it. She wanted to have breakfast with you all", she says.
"Yeah ok. Thanks Ummi. Talk later inshallah", I say to her.
"Mmhmm.....yeah inshallah. As Salaamu Alaykum wa rahmatullah", she says.
"Wa alaykum salaam", I say before hanging up.
I turn around to look at Ayah. "You wanted to eat with Jalilah and I?", I asked her. "Umm...Yup!", she says with a smile.
"What do you wanna eat?", I ask.
"Pancakes and waffles", she says.
"Ok then little missy, I'll cook them", I say to her.
"Okay. I'll get out the plate, silver wear, the syrup and....the butter", she says.
I smile as I start to prepare the batter.
Moments later Jalilah walks into the kitchen in a pair of dark colored jeans and a long sleeved shirt.
"Hey baby", I say leaning over to kiss her cheek.
"Um, hey", she says.
"Ewww so gross".
I look over at Ayah and she shrugs. "What's so gross about that?", I ask. "It looked nasty", she says. "Everythings nasty to little kids", I say to her. Ayah rolls her eyes. "Whatever", she says taking out a new coloring book.
"Look Jalilah, my sister Jannah bought this for me along with my new princess dress", Ayah says pulling a dress out of her bag. "That's pretty", Jalilah says. I flip a pancake then look over and Lila. "Can you cook these please, I need to get clean up", I say to her. She nods then takes over.
