It was the weekend, and after finishing their breakfast, the family of six was getting ready for a big shopping trip. They had four kids’ rooms that needed organizing, and it was no small feat.
As soon as they were done getting ready, they headed down to the kitchen.
“Mr. Abel and Ms. Louise are so in love,” Kendra remarked. “Look at them making breakfast together like that.”
“That’s exactly what we were hoping for,” Daisy replied with a grin. “If it weren’t for you coming along when you did, our Missy might have missed out on her real hubby.”
“They really are a perfect match,” Kendra said, her voice tinged with envy. “Just look at them, both talented and gorgeous.”
“Absolutely,” Daisy said with a hint of pride. “The only one who can match up to our Missy is Mr. Abel.”
“I couldn’t agree more,” Kendra chimed in. “I was blown away by Ms. Louise’s beauty five years ago, and I’ve remembered her ever since.”
“Thank goodness you remembered,” Daisy said. “If it weren’t for you figuring out Alana, who knows how long we would have had to keep up the charade.”
“Everything happens for a reason,” Kendra sighed.
“You’re up!”
Emmeline spotted the two women and waved them over to the kitchen. “Go wake up the kids, breakfast is ready.”
“It’s because we slept in,” Kendra said. “We feel bad for making you and Mr. Abel do all the cooking.”
“The kids love my breakfast,” Emmeline smiled sweetly. “Especially Timmy. I want him to have mommy’s cooking every day.”
“That’s what being a real mom is all about,” Kendra said. “As for that Alana, I only met her once, but she gave me witch vibes. Not authentic at all.”
“Oh, speaking of which, Kendra,” Emmeline interjected. “Did Mr. Abel tell you? Your daughter’s name will be Quincy Ryker?”
“Ryker…” Kendra was momentarily stunned. “Quincy Ryker?”
“What’s wrong? You don’t like the idea of having Mr. Abel’s last name?”
“No, no,” Kendra quickly reassured. “I’m just overwhelmed with gratitude. It’s such an honor to have Mr. Abel’s last name.”
“You made it possible for our family to reunite,” Emmeline said. “So let’s have the little one named Ryker, as a way to thank you. And when she grows up, the Ryker family will be her support.”
