"Hmm?" Red startled awake at the sound of his name to see Lizzie holding a sleeping Ellie and grinning at him.

"I was saying that I was going to put Ellie down for a nap and I turn around and you're nodding. Perhaps you both should lie down!"

Just as Red was about to answer with a smart retort, they heard Dembe and Isabella enter the apartment. "We're out here!" he called and a moment later, they stepped onto the terrace. "How was the movie?"

Dembe rolled his eyes. "Isabella insisted on seeing a romantic comedy. I almost fell asleep twice." He smiled at her and added, "It was worth it though, to spend time with my child. Raymond, she and I have spoken about the possibility of her moving from that house. I think it is a good idea; she's never going to feel safe there again."

"I agree. Solomon and his cohorts knowing how to find you is unacceptable." He lifted the sleeping baby from Liz' arms and placed her in her mother's. "You should start looking immediately. When you find something you like, give us a call and I'll make the arrangements. Until then, I will have Boz provide security." He sighed heavily. "It's times like this when I really miss Luli. She handled all my real estate holdings."

Isabella kissed his cheek. "We all miss her. Thank you, Grandfather. Ellie and I are heading home."

"You're very welcome," he answered, "But when you call me 'Grandfather,' I feel like I should be sitting with a shawl wrapped around me in an old folks' home. Raymond is fine."

"My father will not allow me to call the man he considers his father by his first name. And if I did, what would Ellie call you when she is old enough to speak?"

"Obviously, this is a matter we will have to revisit somewhere down the road."

"Raymond, if you don't need me, I want to stay at Isabella's tonight."

"I think you should. Lizzie and I will be fine. Kate will be back in a few hours, anyway. I'll see you tomorrow."

Liz smiled at the little group in front of her. "Isabella, it was so nice to meet you and Ellie. Please give her a kiss for me when she wakes up."

"I will. Bye!"

Lizzie watched Red as he watched Dembe leave with his daughter and granddaughter. He turned around and saw her smiling at him. "What?"

"You continue to amaze me. You orchestrated a perfectly lovely family day. Dembe shocked me; I had no idea he was a father and it's obvious you are completely in love with those girls. How come you never told me about them?"

"It never came up in conversation." He stood and stretched. "I'm going to take a nap. Would you like something to drink?"

"No, thanks. I'm going to stay out here and relax."

"Suit yourself. I'll see you later." Red walked inside to the kitchen and reached for the champagne. Ah, I really don't need another one. He put it back on the counter and headed to his bedroom. As he laid down on his bed, his mind went back to Dembe and the girls. I absolutely adore them all. As he drifted into sleep, he began to recall more of his conversations with Dembe's therapist.
