"Daddy" the sound of Molly's voice approach the door they hear her foot steps closer but they were still kissing he held her tight his strong arms grip her across her hip the other press in her back  to keep her from moving away,Marcia giggle beneath his kiss as she   make the attempt to push him away but fail because of his strength "dad" the soft voice said this time inside the door way with his lips still press to hers he open his eyes to look at Molly standing in the door way waving at him with a huge smile  kissing Marcia another time before  he straighten up look back at molly with a smile calling her over  but Jeremy came rushing by her jumping on the bed in to the arms of his father,
" move over Jeremy  he was my dad first don't be selfish "Molly told her brother
"Alright " Jeremy said making space for his sister she wrap her father's arm around her soon as she was seated resting her head on his chest "did you two  have breakfast?" Marcia ask getting up
" yes mom" they both answer
"Hungry Markus, what would you like me to get you for breakfast?"
He wasn't sure what he want for breakfast he was just sure of what he have with him now his family as he as always wanted but was blinded by richness to see it, not that it hurt having for now he was sure his children won't be short of anything
"I'll be down" he told her Marcia walk out the room leaving them there and Markus grab the opportunity to talk with his kids.
The day felt so much better for Molly and Jeremy they have gotten what they wanted their dad was here living with them now they have the chance to to be a family having their dad in the house everyday is going to be the best thing.
Markus skip breakfast but he cook dinner bake chicken and curry chicken mash potatoes with mayonnaise and rice and peas with  fruit wine to wash it down, they do the dishes all four of them together later sat in the living room just when they were starting to enjoy the company of their father  he send them off to bed.
Disappointed once again but please for now they could do this every night.
Monday morning everyone was in a good mode when they meet at lunch they each have something to tell Jessica felt since her parents met Molly's parents they  became much  better parents making time for her,
Harry told them of the date his father has plan with Victoria "I believe my dad is finally going to start dating again he have a date with miss Victoria"
"Who's Victoria ?" Todd Jessica, Anna Kay and Randy ask
"Aunt Victoria " Molly said
"Aunt?" Harry ask
"She's mom best friend so we got use to her my brother call her aunt so I just follow 
" so you think your dad will actually fall in love?" Todd ask
"I'm hoping he does " Harry said and they could see how concern he was about the happiness of his father,
" my dad " Molly was saying but pause
" your dad what mol?" Randy ask
A smile curve Molly's lips "my dad move in with us"
They look with wide eyes and a smile
"When ?" Jessica ask
"Yesterday"
"That's great molly, I'm happy for you " Harry said hugging her as he was sitting near to her
" I know its what you wanted I'm also happy for you"Anna Kay said
"we are all happy for you molly " Jessica said grinning this simply means you have to make room for me for I'll be coming over often"
they all laugh
" does that means he'll get a divorce ?" Randy ask
,Molly nod and they all went silent thinking happy thoughts , after school harry hurry home he was just in time as his dad pulled up they walk up to their apartment together
"Son Victoria called  since were having dinner at her place she suggested I take you with me, so what do you say ?"
"Anything for you dad " they hug
Victoria had told her son about the nice man she met and he too wanted to meet him he was OK with her seeing some one and having a father figure for a change wouldn't hurt so Rashard  Gibson looks toward this man and his son he never knew his dad he left long before he was born so his mother was like both though she work she was there for him every step.
Marcia got home and check the mail box the only mail in the box was one address to Markus Graham she took it inside and rest it on the lamp stand
"Guys" Marcia called from the bottom of the stairs and both kids came rushing down
"How was school?" She ask kissing them both
"OK" they both answer
"Your dad on his way home tell you what help me with dinner that he don't have to come home and wait.
Their faces light up it sounds good hearing that their father was coming home they smile at each other,walking with Marcia to the kitchen The table was set when Markus came they didn't hear the car but hear the sound of the keys on the center table and a dog barking
" dad!" They said rushing out the  kitchen door they hug their dad before turning their excitement to the dog next to his feet
"A dog Markus?" Marcia ask coming to the kitchen door
"Yes its a thanks for having me home present" he said marching over to Marcia to kiss her fore head  Molly and Jeremy smile
"Are we going to keep him inside?" Jeremy ask
"Anywhere you want like those dogs you see on TV he can come in your bed.
Marcia make a face, that dog won't stand a chance in my bed "
" when I'm the only dog you want in your bed" Markus whisper Marcia smile "OK please let's eat and feed the dog after  then you too can spend sometime with him
" what's his name dad?" Molly ask,
"He doesn't have one yet" Markus said
"I know!" Jeremy said "happy that we should name him like we are all happy now.
" that could work " Marcia and Markus said they all laugh bending over to pet the dog.
They wash hands and have dinner, they were serve dessert  for their father blend some things together making it thick where they have it with spoon,because banana was in it Markus said its banana milk shake, later they feed the dog take a shower,and sat together tonight for their dad say so  they got half hour over their bedtime which was at eight at exactly eight thirty they were send off to their room Markus walk them up. He was taking a shower when Marcia came in Markus turn and smile at her when the door open and he saw her
"Can I join you ?" She ask
"The pleasure is all yours"
Marcia took a shower when she was done she was ready to step out Markus held her back Marcia giggle knowing well what he wants she let him they have a little fun in the shower before  going to the bedroom Markus saw the envelope with his name on it he turn and look at Marcia
" would you like some space ?" ask  Marcia
"I'll be back he said exiting the room with just a towel wrapped around his lower body on his way down he open the envelope  to find the divorce papers with smiles he kiss it " thank you lord !" He  held it up to the sky,  rambling Into his briefcase he found a pen quickly sign it as if someone was going to come stop him from doing so when it was sign he kept it in his briefcase, he then call Wendy to thank her.
Wendy could hear the happiness in his voice "I'm glad I could help" she said "see you around Markus" he skip to the huge dinning hall taking two glasses from the crockery buffet and pour wine from the drinks shelf  for him and Marcia telling her when he got back to the room that they were celebrating. Marcia have the  believe that it was the divorce papers that he had received, but never ask she just celebrate with him like he wanted her to.
Markus sat in the living room distracted by the computer that he didn't knowtist someone came in until cold hands came across his face blocking his eyes he couldn't tell the feel of his daughter hands from those of her mother they two are always doing that to him put their hand up on his face let him guess he was careful not to say anything in case it was his little girl he wasn't going to use sexual words in an  indecent way  in front of his little girl if he was sure it was Marcie he would probably pull her on his lap to let her feel  his strength, for awhile he pander who wondering why two people hands should feel the same he can tell them when Marcie came up from behind and touch his side even in shirt he could feel the desire and the urged for sex ,
"Come on now I give up" Markus said but the hands didn't move away except to tighten the grip.
"Who ever it is are you trying to cause me to go blind?"
Molly try not to giggle
" I could hurt you! Please don't let this get volente "
Molly fold her lips
" may I warn you I wrestle back in high school and I still have some training in me"
"Markus" the sexy sound of Marcia's voice came to him as she walk  in the room, she had hear him talking while packing dishes in the dinning hall and came to see,
" a huh, Molly" Markus called out moving her hands Marcia came to realize what was happening
"Mom! You gave me away" "sorry hon I didn't know"
"But I knew it was you Molly I was just playing along"
" liar" Molly and Marcia said both giving him a playful slap
"Why you beating up on my dad?" Jeremy ask
"What will you do?" Molly ask throwing a cushion on him "take that" Jeremy throw it back, they start slapping each other around the living room laughing and making it fun.
Things were going great molly and Jeremy both look forward to their father coming home each evening it was something they could never got tired of Markus love the idea of two kids running to greet him each evening the welcoming bark of happy and the sweet smell of home cooked food coming from the kitchen he love the fact that he could walk in and put his arms a round the woman he love,feel on her, kiss her neck,kiss her lips  then he get to taste dinner before it was all ready and gave her  his opinions on weather it was too spicy or slaty if any thing needed to be add if too much of something was added, those were the things Marcia would ask him to judge, there weren't any fault to be detected for Marcia cook well she knows the way to a mans heart, if not for the cooking sex she did them both so well, Wendy could never have found the way to his heart for she was good at neither, but thanks to her he was now a wealthy man,
  by now the children didn't have a problem going to bed at eight thirty their dad time so when he was done with them he send them straight to bed the dog spend half night in Molly's room the other  half in Jeremy's, but each morning come six he went to their parents door barking and scratching on the door to wake them, but on weekends when they want to sleep in later than six and have more alone time her dad would shout out to happy go away dog, Jeremy and molly  would both ran to get him away,
"Sorry mom, sorry dad !" They said giggling softly
Marcia was glad since Markus move in eight weeks ago he has the children under control they fall in a trance since then they haven't found the time to fight over foolish things they would go to school in the morning after school they would try to get home work out the way so they would get the rest of time to spend with him,  Marcia see it now it takes two people to raise children sometime they just need to feel reassure having their dad here was a lot of reassuring.
Thursday they both went shopping have a early lunch date with Victoria and Godfrey and dinner with Randy's family later in the evening.
Friday after work they got together and redecorate Jeremy's bathroom giving it a similar look to the one his sister use that they both love so much put a much brighter colour paint  in the bed room move the half bed out for a bigger one from another room that is not using now  they were spending the weekend with Markus parents they wouldn't come until Monday after school and just as they were finish with the room and was about to settle over homemade patties and limeade the door bell rang both of Marcia sisters and their partner was at the door holding two lovely boxes of pizza a large soda and two six pack of can beers and weekend bags.
They both sigh Markus rake disappointed fingers  through his hair  like Marcia he was looking forward to the weekend alone together but he gave it a second thought
" let them in honey "
Marcia did walking behind them
"Never turn family away especially with beers and great smelling pizza " Markus said taking a box of pizza from his sister in-law open it and peep in taking in the great sent, "pizza with extra tapping and lots of cheese " they settle for a night where they wanted to be alone but it take a big turn for much as they could sex all they want when alone companionship was actually a great joy for they all enjoyed it while the ladies clean up Markus show the men off to their room they went to bed hoping that they could do this again another weekend though this weekend wasn't yet over.
Jeremy enter in his bedroom Monday evening after school  wondering if he came in the wrong room he walk out to check again counting down the doors he was door number six two doors from his parents room  a door from his sister on the other side he express his feeling in a shout after entering the room again, molly ran up stairs with Rose next to her on hearing the scream of her brother ,
" are you alright Jeremy? " rose ask breathlessly rose was in her fifties and running upstairs wasn't her strongest capability this could cause her heart to stop beating,  she has been sitting the two children since Jeremy was only a baby she love them like her own she  don't want to see them hurt  their parents would skin her alive
He point in his room,
"Is some thing in there? For we heard you scream" molly said
"I didn't scream molly I shout that's two different  things" Jeremy explain.
"And why did you shout ?" Rose ask Jeremy push them both in the room
"Wow this is pretty brother, cool!" Molly said high five her brother as they check it out "the bath room look something like yours" Jeremy inform his sister who came in with a dash,
"You even got a bigger bed " Molly said jumping on Jeremy fight her off
"You'll soil my sheet" they rumpled around the bed until rose hand came to their bottom they both jump with giggles running around the room then through the door rose smile and shake her head she straighten the bed looking around another time before going down to find them in the living room they were still running around she put her hands out to silent them they took a seat across from each other and rose sat with them she listen as they try to calm their breeding giggling and taking deep breath.
" you two have to be careful Mr Graham is such a sweet young man but if something should happen to you two while I'm looking after you he will surely wrestle me down and your mom will cut me to pieces" Rose said both children look at each other then laugh,  " you two are bless children See all what your parents are doing to make you happy" the word happy came and happy the dog came running in under the door where Markus as make his entrance ,exit, he jump on them and they squeal in excitement.
Markus made it home before Marcia to take the kids off rose hand so she could able go home, since he was the first one home he starts dinner.
"Something smells good!" Marcia said coming in the kitchen "sorry if I'm late" she kiss the children "how was your day home work done?"
Both children nod, they sat in the kitchen for awhile before leaving their parents together,  I was with Victoria today  her man's birthday and she want to treat him something special so she ask for a little advice" Marcia told Markus once they were left alone, "he'll move in with her come this weekend she's hoping we can all come by to help them to feel welcome.
Markus would more than make the time for Victoria was a friend he didn't have a problem with the man neither with his son and he was his daughters friend. its good they're moving in with Victoria too from what he gather they need a woman like Victoria in their life, and Victoria and her son really need a man like Godfrey around Godfrey and his son living with Victoria and her son will be beneficiary for both party seeing what they're both been through who is better to comfort you than a person who have been where you have been.  .
School was going to be out for Friday some development work shop taking place they have announced it on Wednesday, Thursday morning before school Molly came in the kitchen to find her parents while Jeremy wait in the car She find them as usual , cuddling and kissing touching and squeezing,
"Can you stop doing that for two minutes so I can talk to you?" Molly ask.
instead of stopping her father tightened his hold around her mom still kissing her.
"Daddy" Molly said circling them "please dad we're going to be late" Molly said and she got their attention, she look at
them smile and shook her head, 
"What is it baby girl?" Markus ask
Molly felt afraid to say it from her mouth so she took her bag off her back get a pen then write what it was she was going to say on apiece of paper handing it to her dad nearest to her,
Markus took it and handed it to Marcia who read aloud,
"Mom, dad , is it OK if Randy came by after school we'll just study in my room  for awhile" Marcia finish reading hand it back to Markus,
"Yes" Markus approve "
of crocus Marcia agree,
molly thank them both she kiss them walking away molly hear her dad call "baby " she turn around "if you two are going to study for awhile what will you do for the next while ?"
Marcia smile
Molly wasn't sure what to say she look from her mom to her dad,
"Go on honey don't be late for school" Marcia said
"Think about it" Markus said both of them giggle and before Molly could left the room they were cuddling again.
