"Malachi Kingston Jordan, it's time for bed!" Kiara said to her 4 year old son as she rocked her 3 month old daughter Kayleigh Malia to sleep.
"Aww mom? Do I have to?"
"Yes sir! Santa will skip right on over this house if any children are awake."
"Daddy's not home yet Mommy!"
"Yes I know, but Daddy will be here when you get up in the morning, along with Nana, Pop Pop (Kiara's Parents), Grammy and The Gramps (Michael's Parents)."
"Awww man, I wanted to kiss him goodnight."
"I'm pretty sure he's still at work, but let's call him and see if he'll answer."
Kiara took her phone out of her back pocket and pressed her husbands name. It began to ring and after two rings, he answered with a smile.
"Hey Beautiful."
"Hi Handsome. Kye wants to say goodnight to you."
"That's the only reason you called me? You ain't wanna call me with a bow on your cookie and show me the gift that I get tonight."
"Ooop. Baby, that's a conversation for AFTER the children go to bed."
"Daddy, you can't have the cookies, those are for Santa!"
"I wasn't talking about tho-"
"Come and say Goodnight to your father Kye."
"Goodnight Daddy! When will you be home?"
"Soon lil man, I have to finish up this last scene and then I get to come home to the greatest gifts ever."
"Okay Daddy."
"Goodnight lil man. Did you remember to do your jobs?"
"Yes Daddy, I made sure I pick up all my toys, helped Mommy with Sugar, and I made sure to make Mommy smile while you weren't here."
"That's right lil man. I love you, now go put on those new pajamas Mommy and I got you and get to bed. I heard Santa was in Peru and he moves fast."
Malachi's eyes widened and he ran away from the phone to go up to his room to put on his pajamas.
"I'm just waiting for him to squeal when he sees the Blac-"
"Awwwww yeahhhhhh! Black Panther Pajamas!" Malachi screamed from his room.
"Score for Mommy." Kiara said excitedly.
"How's my Princess doing Kae?"
Kiara turned the phone and Kayleigh was sucking on her pacifier about to close her eyes.
"Hi Sugar! Daddy loves you Sugar Mama."
Kayleigh smiled at the sound of her fathers voice and then closed her eyes as she cuddled closer to Kiara's breast.
"Well I guess that's all she needed because she was holding on for dear life not to close those eyes."
"What can I say? The ladies love me." Michael said smiling at his wife. After 5 years of marriage and 7 years of dating, he can honestly say that his wife is the MVP. They had disagreements, but he could honestly say that they loved each other a lot.
"I know one thing Michael Bakari Jordan, Kayleigh and Kiara better be the only ladies that can love you personally."
"Well the only way it'll be another lady in my life is if I'm blessed with another daughter or another niece. Other than that, I'm good with the two beauties that I have."
"I knew that you were smart."
"Oh definitely. Let me finish up so that I can get home to y'all. Have my cookies waiting on a plate waiting to be eaten."
