(Dezi prov)

"Bae, will you take this box down stairs please?"i ask

"Yeah.."

He takes the box down stairs.

"So Dezi,Its been like a week since we've talked"Khalil said

"Yeah,I know..I've been so busy!I'm sorry..you forgive me"i say

"Yeah..don't let it happen again"Khalil said

The door bell rings.I knew Corahn probably got it.I walk down stairs.Khalil follows.When I make my way to the door.I see a woman in a suit and two kids.The looked maybe only a few months.Only old enough to walk for a little.

"Are you Ms.Desiree Hill?"she ask

"Yes, why?"

"These are your brother Devin's kids...I real think we should talk private."she said

"Umm yeah.."

I let her inside.I motioned her to give the kids to Corahn.I walked her into the office.I sat at the desk.She sat on the couch.

"I never knew Devin had kids"i say

"Yes,when he died..their mother was about tell him about them but then he died."she said

"Okay,so where is their mother?"

"Dead..she died last night..she had cancer and couldn't afford treatment."

"Thats sad but what does that have to do with me?"

"Your the last person related to them that we can contact....usually we would give give them to an adult family member or adoption center but are adoption center is full and the best place we can send them is queens new york.After,looking at your file you have more than enough money to take care of them and feed them.So,will you take them?"

"Umm..one second"i say

I get up and open the door."Khalil!"i call

He comes in."Yes?"

I shut the door.He sits down.I tell him the issue.

"You got to take them Dezi..Have you seen queens?"

"OKay...."i say

The woman smiles."You will have to raise them as your own child.The mayor doesn't want any higher law to know about this.They don't have names and never had more than on diaper a day..until yesterday.Their life was pretty horrible.So this will be a great change for them.The court will pay 4,000 a year to put away for college so they won't have any issues in the future.Also,there Birthday is January 6,2012.Call me when you come up with names"she said handing me her card

"Thank you.."I say

I walked and let her out the front door.I turn to kids.Corahn was playing with them.I smiled and walked over.It was a girl and a boy.Khalil walked in.He started packing up my China set.

"Okay..well we gotta get something for them to sleep in tonight.You don't move until tomorrow."Corahn said

"Yeah,I got something...come help me"
