I've decided to ignore the background check and get to know them personally myself without the added help of paperwork. I only needed the background check to get her number because I thought she was still in Georgia, but when I saw her current address as listed in Seattle, I had to see her.
Thank fuck she moved here, I don't know why she did, but thank fuck! I don't know what I would do if my Son lived thousands of miles away from me. Of course, I would move them here, to be near me, but it would be up to Mani to agree.
Thank fuck they're here. And now that they are, and I know about Chris, I plan to be an active part in their lives.
I've already told Taylor about Normani Hamilton; so now when Mani comes to Hansen House, or calls, she will be granted full access to me without any interference.
After my meeting, I came straight home to get things ready for Mani and Chris's visit. I know it may be awhile before I have Chris to myself, without Mani, but I'll need to get Chris a bedroom set up here for when he visits. Which means I will be needing Gia's services after all.
"Gail," I approach her in the kitchen. She looks a little surprised to see me home so early. "I'm having guests tonight for dinner."
I smile when I think one of those guests is my son, and the other is Normani; the girl who got away.
"I'm making beef stew tonight, ma'am there will be plenty for company."
"Actually, one is around 2 years old. I'm not sure what he likes, but I doubt beef stew is on his list of top tens."
"I could run to the store and grab everything I need for chicken nuggets and macaroni." She suggests the simple meal. "Many young children love that."
"Perfect. I'm expecting them around 6 tonight. While you're out, grab a few more items you think a child will eat, we'll be having a 2 year old around more often than not."
