"Oh mom, look at all this stuff," Pauline said in awe as she places item after item on the shelves in their newly built shop. "Miss Janice helped me buy most of them." Miss Alice said giving her Pauline two more items from the suitcase. "I can't believe you just spend three weeks in Atlanta." Pauline said shaking her head.
"You best believe it and I'll be heading back on Saturday. Miss Janice wants to spend Father's Day with Mr. Tyler, so that gives me two days to get through as much as I can here. We'll be there for two weeks this time." Miss Alice said giving her two more items.
"But won't you still have to go to work?" Pauline asks. "Yeah but Miss Janice will take over from me as soon as she comes home, so I can come home early." She explains. "How many weeks does he have left?" Pauline asks. "Only four."
"Okay, so will she be taking all three kids with her again?" "Yep." "Is Tyrone still calling her mom?" "Yep." "It doesn't bother her? You know considering who his mom is." "Not that I notice, the thing is when they look at Tyrone they don't associate him with his mother, at all. All they see is an innocent little boy who deserves all the love they can give him and they don't play favorites either. They love all three equally which is amazing seeing as though Faith's biological father was a raving lunatic and Tyrone's mother is Jezebel herself." Miss Alice snorts.
"They both have a big heart, that's for sure." Pauline nods. "And now those kids have a chance at a normal life." Miss Alice smiles. "Normal? Living in a mansion, flying on a private jet and attending over the top lavish weddings and parties all before any of them reach the age of four, isn't exactly what I would call normal mom."
"Well," Miss Alice said stopping a moment to drink some water. "you best get used to it because as soon as we're finished looking about yours and the kids traveling papers that's also the kind of life you'll all be living."
"Can't wait." Pauline said rubbing her hands together. "And who knows, you may even find love again. Mr. Tyler has many single cousins." Miss Alice said with a wink. "The father of my children and the love of my life is dead mom, being romantic with another man really isn't in the cards for me." She said in a sad tone.
"That was what Samson's sister-in-law thought too and she's currently in love with one of Mr. Tyler's gorgeous cousins." Miss Alice chuckles.

Four days after his wedding, Caleb found himself sitting in the corner of a restaurant watching Samson conduct a meeting. There was something about this guy that he likes. Alright, so one minute he was telling this man that he wasn't a part of his family and the next this same man made himself into a human shield for a man that wasn't even related to him.
That took guts, that took heart. He was only hostile to Samson because he thought Samson was going to go straight to Maya and spill the beans but even after been severely insulted he still turned up and supported his wedding and stood in front of a loaded weapon for Fabian.
He told this man that he wasn't a part of his family but the thing is he wanted this man to be a part of his family, first step, apologize to him. So with a groan and a sigh, he walks over to Samson.
Samson was writing down a few notes from his meeting when Caleb flops down in the seat opposite him. He looks up, snorts and went back to writing. "You know, if we're going to be friends, you're gonna have to ditch that delicate ego of yours." Caleb said pulling one of the paper on the table towards him but Samson snatches it, pulling it back.
"I've zero desire to be friends with you." He said in a serious tone. "Ouch," Caleb wince clutching his chest. "I guess I deserve that but you are a man of God and if I apologize you have to forgive me." Caleb said reaching for another piece of paper but again Samson moved it out of his reach.
