I was beginning to worry that Tracy won't come back, what if her parents refuse?, What if she had a change of mind, what if something had happened to them on their way, I was about to call her when I heard the car's horn.
"Thank God," I said dropping the phone I already picked.
Micheal and Michelle came in first and when they saw they saw me, they rushed over to hug me.
"Hello, Daddy!" They greeted me as I hugged her
"Hello, my prince and my princess, how was school today?"
"Fine thank you."
"Grandpa taught us how to paint!" Michelle said
"Yes, we both got a paintbrush." Micheal chipped in.
"Wow, did you tell Grandpa thank you?" I asked and they both stared at me blankly
"You didn't?" I asked and they shook their head
"Next time someone gives you something or does anything for you, you say thank you, you say what?"
"Thank you." They said and patted both of them.
"Where is mummy?" I asked since I didn't see her.
"She's bringing stuff from the car "
"Oh!, You both stay put let me go and help your mum, okay?." I said and they nodded
I went outside and found out some of the guards were already helping her with the stuff.
"Welcome," I said carrying one of the bags.
"Yeah thank you." She replied
The guards helped us in taking the bags upstairs to the room the kids slept in when they came the last time.
"Time has gone already so how about we order pizza," Tracy said after the guards left.
"Sure."
"We would be having pizza for dinner" Tracy announced to the kids and they started jubilating
"Look at them jubilating like you are giving them a million-dollar dear," I said and Tracy chuckled.
We ordered pizza and it was delivered in no time, we had dinner then the kids watched the Television while and Tracy unpacked the things in the room the kids would be sleeping.
"I think we should get them bunk beds?" I said and Tracy nodded.
"How about we just redecorate the whole place," I said and she nodded again
"Tracy" I called stopping what I was doing
"What?"
"Is there something wrong?"
"No."
"Then why are you acting like this?"
"Like what?"
"Tracy!, You know what I'm talking about, I feel like you are giving me attitude."
"No, I'm not, I'm just very tired." She said not stopping what she is doing.
"I feel like there is more to it."
"Alex, I'm fine, maybe a little tired and lost in thought but then I'm fine and I'm not giving you attitude."
"Why are you lost in thought?"
