Alex
I tried to persuade Tracy to tell me what the surprise is but she refused, I don't actually mind, I'm just really happy that she told me what is on her mind, I'm happy she decided to consider me and move in with me, that alone was enough to surprise me.
Tracy went out to talk to someone on phone then she came back inside beaming.
"What?" I asked smiling too, I couldn't help it her smile is contagious
"The surprise is here."
"Really?, I can't wait."
"Close your eyes, wait don't worry I'd help you." She placed her hands over my eyes carefully
"Now count to ten."
"Okay, one, two, three, four...." I stopped because I heard shuffling of feet
"Don't stop." She said
"Five, Six, Seven, Eight, Nine, Ten."
"Good, surprise!" She said taking her hands off my eyes, it was really a surprise, Micheal and Michelle were standing right in front of my bed looking confused, Cole's wife was standing beside them.
"Micheal!, Michelle!, Hi Tiana Rose." I greeted waving my good hand.
"Hi Alex, bye I'd be leaving now." She said, Tracy, hugged her and thanked her for bringing the kids, then she left
"Dee, are you fine?" Michelle asked looking sober
"Um, I got into a little accident yesterday," I said and she placed her hand on my leg
"Uncle Cole did this?" Micheal asked surprising me
"Who told you that," Tracy asked obviously surprised too
"Grandma and Grandpa were talking about it, and we saw you yesterday."
"Oh, we got into a little fight, it is nothing much."
"Sorry, Dee." They said making me want to hug them tight but I couldn't because of my broken hand.
"Thank you."
"Mummy, Aunty Tracy said she is bringing us to see daddy," Michelle said surprising me, did Tiana really say that?
"Yes," Tracy replied and my eyes widened
"So where is daddy?" Michael asked
"That is daddy" Tracy replied gesturing towards me
"Dee is daddy?" They asked Tracy and she nodded
"Dee is daddy!" They said again facing each other then they started jubilating
Tracy started laughing but I could see the tears in her eyes, the twin stopped then faced me.
"We can call you daddy right?" They asked and I nodded
"Daddy!" They called and I tried to laugh at the way they called it but I winced because of the pain
"Are you okay?" Tracy asked rushing to my side
"I'm good, the pain passed."
"Sorry, daddy." The twin said making me melt like snow on a hot day.
