Muhammed POV:

Sara came running in and gave me a hug. Khalid copied her doing the same.

"He's my uncle; you aren't allowed to hug him Khalid!" Sara yelled.  I then sighed knowing their fight/arguing had started.

"No he's my uncle!" Khalid yelled back. My mum sat on the one seater sofa chuckling whilst reading one of her cookery books. Talha walked inside the house with Yahya. Aysha had gone out with her friends. She did that whenever she had the chance.

"Have they started again?" Talha groaned as Yahya laughed and walked towards them. He had chubby cheeks which you'd just feel the need to pull all the time.

Talha then put Yahya in the bouncer and asked if me and mum could take care of them whilst they got Ice cream.

"Muhammed! Aren't you supposed to be at the restaurant?" My mum asked as I was playing with Yahya cheeks.

"Yeah but its Sunday! We open at 5 so I don't need to be there till 4." I said to her.

As soon as I said that I got a message from Rayhan:

Salaam,

I'm sorry this is such short notice but Alhamdulillah yesterday me and Maryam had a baby boy. She's coming out the hospital today so I really wanted to spend the day with her.  I'm really concerned about my dad because he seems tired all the time. If I could clear it with him please could you manage the restaurant tomorrow?

I responded to the text message:

Salaam,

Alhamdulillah, Mubarak. I'm really happy for her and will continue to remember all of you in my duas In'sha'allah. I hope Maryam's okay? You need to spend time with them and as far as your Dad's concerned he needs a day off. He works soo hard- I don't really mind. You're actually doing me a favour but I don't the keys?

I got a reply almost instantly:

Jaza'kallah bro for everything. Maryam is absolutely fine as well Alhamdulilah. I'll try and come down soon to pass you the keys In'sha'allah. Jaza'kallah once again you're doing me a massive favour

"Mum- Rayhan and Maryam had a baby boy." I said calmly but happily. As soon as I said that my mum got up and rang their house; I don't know how she got their number.

"Ameena! Salaam- How are you?" My mum asked on the phone.

"Alhamdulliah I'm fine too." My mum replied staring at me from the corner of my eyes.

"Congratulations. Yeah I know Muhammed told me know. Tell me when they come home. I'll come to your house in'sha'allah." She continued.

She replied to her salaam then hung up.

"I know you just saw/met her yesterday but have you made a decision?" My mum asked. I nodded and smiled. My mum had her eyes wide open.

"You're gonna have a daughter in law in'sha'allah." I chuckled my mum hugged me from the side as Yahya gurgled and laughed.
