"Imani what's going on with you?" Frustration and hurt coursing through me. She turns and smiles at me tears in her eyes.
"That's the golden question isn't it Park."

"Recruit Walker stand guard."
Sleep is thrown out the window as my eyes fly open and a wide grin explodes across my face. Flinging the covers off of me, I jump from bed standing straight up, stiff as a board.
"Sir yes sir!" I shout in return, hand on my forehead in a salute position.
He walks around me checking my form and it takes all of me not to smile and giggle like a toddler at his pokes and prods. Finally he come back to face me and a smile erupts on both of our faces. Flinging myself forward I wrap my arms around his neck as he lifts me into a hug like he's done so many times before.
"Hey pumpkin head." he smiles rubbing my back in his familiar motions.
"Hey dad." I grin finally stepping back.
He looks the same as always with the small addition of some more grey hair. Even though I know how hard it is for him to be away from us so long, every time he comes back home he glows with happiness. He glances out of my door before fixing his mouth to holler across the hall, much to my moms annoyance.
"Kimberly why didn't you tell me she's gotten more beautiful from the last time I saw y'all. Looking more like you everyday."
Pattering footsteps come closer to my room, and based on the speed of her steps we can both tell whats about to happen. Speed walking in with a scowl on her face she smacks the back of his head before a similar smile spreads across her face.
"What have I told you about hollerin in my house Adebayo?" she smiles.
Rolling his eyes he pulls her in with a small groan. Burying his face in the crook of her neck, he gives it a small kiss making her squirm and let out a small laugh. Shoving his head out of her neck she smacks his wandering hand before giving him a look.
"Why didn't you tell either of us you were coming home?" she questions placing her hand over his that was resting on her hip making me coo at them.
