Generous Offerings

"Aahhh…." Kenny coos as he touches the inside of a pot with a wooden spoon. Devon is on the floor with him laughing. He grabs another wooden spoon and starts beating on the pots and pans entertaining Kenny. Kenny looks at him and makes a face. He then smiles and continues to coo a little.

"Hmmmm…. I hear some talent, there." Ana jokes.

"Me, too." Fen adds. "If he chooses, he may end up having a successful musical career in the future."

Everyone laughs. Ana, Fen, and Devon are hanging out in Devon's kitchen, while Devon and Kenny are playing with some pots and pans on the floor. Ana and Fen were visiting with them. They were enjoying spending time with Kenny and Devon. Talk turns to their wedding.

"So, have you guys thought about what type of wedding you want?" Devon asks after he picks up Kenny and holds him. "Small wedding, large wedding, in a church or some type of venue?" He asks.

"While we won't take a long time to plan this wedding, we do want a large enough one to have all our family and friends there." Ana informs him. "We are getting together a list of all of the people we want to invite." She puts her hands together excitedly. "And then we'll start sending out invitations."

Fen nods. "And Ana says she likes the idea of maybe it having the wedding outdoors somewhere." Fen states. "And that's fine by me."

Ana looks at Fen and smiles. She reaches over and grabs his hand. "Something about a nice outdoor wedding really appeals to me." She remarks.

"Well…" says Devon bouncing and cuddling Kenny. "That all sounds great." He then becomes thoughtful. "You know, I'd like to help you guys with your wedding expenses, if that's okay with you. Actually, I liked to pay for it for you guys. It could be my gift to you. That and a Honeymoon." He adds smiling at them.

Fen and Ana look at each other and smile, both touched by Devon's generosity.

"That is a very generous offer." Fen says smiling. He had originally intended to pay for the wedding, but he did appreciate Devon's generous offer.

"Very generous." Ana adds.

"Are you interested in taking me up on it?" Devon ask smiling. He stands up with Kenny in his arms.

"Ana you're my baby sister and this is your wedding and I would like to help make this an extra special one for you." He says. He then looks at Fen.

"And Fen I know you have been doing well for yourself, but I still would like to pay for this wedding and a Honeymoon for you guys." He pauses and then continues. "As a gift to help you jumpstart your life as a married couple…" Devon pauses again and continues. "Without having to deal with the expenses of those things…. If that's okay with you guys."

Fen and Ana look at each other. They then both smile. "That would be okay. That would be awesome actually." Ana says. She stands up and hugs, Devon. "Thanks Devon." She sits back down.

Fen also smiles. "Thanks man." He stands up and shakes Devon hand.

"Not a problem." Devon says smiling. "I take care of those things for you guys, and you make sure you spend your life taking good care of my sister."

Fen nods and smiles. "I will do that."

Devon nods. "Sounds good. Just make whatever plans you guys want for your wedding and Honeymoon. And let me know what you want to do. I'll take care of it for you guys."

Fen sits back down, and the group talks some more about the wedding. Devon also plays with Kenny. While they are doing this the doorbell rings. Devon looks at the time.

"They are a little early." He says as he goes and answers the door.

"How are you guys doing?" He says smiling at the two people standing outside.

"Hey…"! Sophia says cheerfully.

"Hi." Moses says waving.

Devon stands back so they can come in. They walk into the center of the room near the couch.

"Hello, precious." Sophia says touching Kenny. "He is so cute… He looks just like you." She tells Devon smiling.

Devon nods. "That's what a lot of people say. It makes my wife feel a little left out." He jokes.

Sophia looks around. "Where is she at?" She asks curiously.

"She's still dealing with that situation with her family." He informs Sophia. "She'll be back in a few days." He pauses and then continues. "I just got back in the other night."

Sophia nods. "Okay. I know you're glad to be back and be around this little guy." She says smiling at Kenny and lightly tickling him.

Kenny looks at her and smiles.

"Oh, you know that." Devon says smiling. He then looks down at Moses.

"How you are doing, man?" He asks.

"Fine." Moses says smiling.

"You know I'm always happy to see you little brother."

Moses nods.

Just then Fen and Ana come out of the kitchen to greet Moses and Sophia.

"Hey girl." Sophia says greeting Ana. She goes over to her and they share a warm hug.

"Let me see it." Sophia asks. Ana shows her, the engagement ring.

Sophia grabs her hand. "Girl, it's beautiful. Congratulations!" She looks at Fen and smiles at him. "Welcome to the Family, Fen."

"Thank you." Fen tells her graciously. They hug.

"And You look good." She says looking him over after they are done hugging. "You look even more buff than the last time, I saw you." She observes. "But I guess a pop star has to keep his self in shape, especially when you are out there on tour performing in front all of your fans."

Fen smiles sheepishly. "I do my best to stay in shape."

Sophia nods. "Un-huh." She then steps away from Fen and moves closer to Ana again. She leans very close to her and whispers. "I'm glad you got to him before a no good one did. There are plenty of wild ones out there who would love to sink their fangs into a hot pop star." Ana makes a face and tries not to laugh. She shakes her head and smiles.

Sophia then turns back to Devon. "You had wanted to talk to me?" She asks.

Devon nods. "I did. I had wanted to talk with you about business." He then makes a face and sniffs his nose. "But first I will have to change Kenny's diaper."

"I can do it." Ana volunteers.

"Or I can do it." Fen also volunteers. Ana looks at him and smiles.

"Really?" She asks.

Fen nods. "Yeah. I'm going to be his Uncle. I can start pitching in to help now." He looks at Devon and smiles.

"I'm not turning down anyone who wants to change a diaper." Devon says. "Be my guest man." Everyone laughs. He hands Kenny to Fen and tells Fen where the diapers and items to change him are at.

"Come on dude." Fen says taking Kenny into his arms and smiling.

"I'll go with you guys." Ana says smiling. "And show you exactly where everything is."

"I'm a good diaper changer." Fen tells her.

"Oh, really?" Ana asks laughing.

"I've changed quite a few of them in my life." Fen informs her.

"Okay." Ana says. She puts her hands on Fen's back and they walk away to change baby Kenny.

"I'm his Uncle too, though I don't really want to change a diaper." Moses says making a face. He looks at Devon. "Hey, I'm hungry, do you have something to eat?" He asks.

Devon nods. "Yeah, man go into the kitchen and make yourself at home. We have some snacks in the pantry and in the fridge."

"Thanks." Moses heads off to the kitchen, leaving Devon and Sophia alone. He smiles at her.

"Let's sit down, so we can talk about business for a moment." He suggests. They sit down on the couch.

Devon puts his hands together and looks at her smiling. "First of all, I want to thank you for all of the help you have given me at Hamilton-Winters these past couple of months." He gestures towards her with his hands.

"I really do appreciate it." He tells her gratefully. "You have been valuable to us, by helping out at Power Communications. I really needed the help." He admits. "It was getting a bit much trying to handle a lot of the workload for it by myself… We have a nice team there, but still haven't managed to find the right person to replace after Neil passed."

Sophia nods. "I understand, that company was Neil's baby, and whoever ends up running it will have very big shoes to fill." She states understandably.

Devon nods. "I've had some people working at the company who we've had our eyes on, trying to see if I could promote them to the next level, but I still haven't found the right person… among them..."

Sophia puts her hands on her laps listening. "Well, hopefully you will eventually find the right person." She says encouragingly.

Devon gives her a smile. "I think that I may have found the right person."

Sophia raises her eyebrows. "Oh, really?" She asks curiously.

Devon nods. "Yeah… I think it may be you." He claims looking at her.

"Me?" Sophia puts her hands to her chest. "Oh, Devon are you serious?" She asks surprised.

He gives her a serious look. "I am. I have appreciated all you have done by stepping in and helping me these past couple of months. I mean I know you came to GC for a bit so that Moses could be around this side of his family more." Devon tells her. "But you stepped in and helped me at Power when I was feeling swamped." He sighs. "Even more so, with this stuff with my wife and her family and then me also trying to balance work while taking care of my son."

Sophia, put her hand on his arm. "I was happy to help. You know that I was in the midst of reevaluating things professionally myself. My last job was good for a while. But some things happened there, and I decided to leave it, and go do something else." She smiles at him.

"I was happy to help you at Power and it's been so good for Moses to be around you and his family." She tells him gratefully. "Especially as he's starting to get a little older, you know?" She says looking at Devon.

Devon nods. "And you and Moses are always welcome to be around this family, regardless of where you work." He states to her comfortingly. "I love having him around and will continue to do my best to try and be there for him as much as I can. I know that is what dad would have wanted."

Sophia nods and smiles. "Absolutely. That is exactly what Neil would have wanted."

"Yeah, and I am going to continue to do that regardless. Be there for Moses and you too." He assures her. "But in the mean time, I wanted to offer you the job of running Power, if you want it." He tells her. "I've seen enough of you and know enough about how dedicated of a worker you are to feel like I can trust you to run this company…." He gives her a knowing look.

Sophia makes a face. "Oh, Devon that is a big responsibility." She tells him a bit overwhelmed.

"I think you can handle it." He says looking at her. "But… you don't have to give me an answer right away." He tells her. "You can stay on as long as you'd like and if... or when you feel like you are ready to run the company, we can talk about that and work out the details of it." He gives her a serious look. "Okay?"

She nods. "Alright, it's something I will think about."

"Cool." Devon and Sophia talk for a bit more. While they are doing that Fen has finished changing Kenny's diaper in another room. Fen was now holding Kenny and talking to him and Ana.

"You smell so much better, dude". Fen tells Kenny who is looking at him.

Ana laughs at Fen's comments. She comes closer to both of them and smiles. Kenny sees her face and smiles.

"You see your Aunt's pretty face." Fen says looking at Kenny and then at Ana. "That's what's making you smile. Her pretty face?" Kenny looks at him and then smiles again.

"I love how happy he is." Fen says glancing at Ana for a moment while he's holding him. "You know what... I hope that our future…" His voice trails off and he looks at Kenny's face and smiles thinking.

Ana puts her hand on his arm. "You hope what babe?" She asks. Just before Fen can answer Ana hears her phone beep. She looks at it. "Oh, it's a text from Summer." She says. She reads it and makes a face. "That's right." She says aloud and looks at Fen.

"I am supposed to be meeting her this evening for dinner." She gives Fen an excited look. "We are going to do some planning for the wedding." She makes some gestures with her hands. "We are going to talk about invitations and other important details." She smiles at him. "So, I am going to have to get out of here in a little bit." She reaches out and grabs Fen's hand. "But I will talk to you later."

Fen nods. "Right." He looks at Kenny and smiles at him again.

Ana looks and smiles at both of them. She touches both of Fen and Kenny's arms. "You guys are so cute together." She gushes. "You look good with a baby in your arms." She tells Fen, raising her eyebrow a bit and smiling. She lightly touches Kenny's stomach. "You look so cute in your Uncle Fen's arms." She says. She looks at Fen again.

"Uncle Fen." She states. "That sounds so natural."

Fen nods and smiles. "It does."

Ana looks at her watch. "But I guess we better take him on out there and give him back to his daddy." She advises Fen. "Because Auntie has got to get out of here in a bit."

Fen nods and they head out of the room to take Kenny back to Devon.
