Chapter Trece!
"Marquisse's new job!" Desmonde
"Hey Zaphara I hear that Marquisse has a job now working for a butcher shop." Desmonde said to her.
"Oh really?" she replied.
"Yeah isn't it a shame that he has to work in order for him to live with them."
Avalon said to them.
"Yeah it is a shame when he was with us he never had to work only to obey what he was told to do by Zaphara." Desmonde said.
As Marquisse was on his way to work the next moring Desmonde decided to pay him a visit while he was walking to work.
"So how does it feel to betray your own clan?" Desmonde said to him.
"I was told by Zaphara that if I did not come back with the twins I was to take my own life but the Blackburns caught me as I was going into the bedroom." He told him.
"Oh... really now that is not what she told us." he replied.
"She said that you were to chicken to do what she wanted you to do for her." he said again to Marquisse.
"She had sent me a message through thought that I was to bring her the twins and write a note to the parents saying that if they ever wanted to see them again they were going to have to do what they were told and where to meet them." he replied back to Desmonde.
"Well that is not what she said to us." he repiled back.
"Well you think what you like but to tell you the truth I never liked being under controll by her I was thinking of many ways to get out of there and now I have found one." Marquisse said to him.
"How does it feel to be a puppet to her Desmonde?" he said again.
He did not answer that question because he was still thinking about what Marquisse had just said to him.
"Well I am waiting for an answer?" Marquisse said again.
But still no answer from him he did not have an answer for that question so he just took off down the street running as fast as he could to get away from him.
"I knew you would not answer that question you chicken." I yelled to him as he ran away. When Marquisse got to work his boss asked him why he was late to work so he told him that he got talking to a very old friend of his and lost track of time.
His boss said don't let it happen again because if you do don't bother coming in to work.
"Do you understand that if you screw up you are done here?" His boss told him.
"Yes sir I understand completely I will never be late to work again I promise." He replied back.
"Good now get to work we have a lot to do today." His boss said to him again.
"Yes sir right away sir." He replied.
That night when he got back to the house the rest of the family was in the kitchen making supper and they saw that he was standing in the door way and they asked him how work was so he told them.
"So how was work today Marquisse?" Sonja asked him.
"It was okay except that my boss yelled at me for being late to work." he said to her.
"Why were you late to work?" Delilah asked him.
"Because Desmonde stopped me in my tracks while I was on my way to work" He replied.
"What did he want from you?" Dimitre asked him this time.
"He just wanted to ask me how it is to be free from Zaphara is all." he told him.
"Oh okay he didn't ask you anything else?" he asked again.
"Nope nothing else that's all he wanted to know was how it felt to be free." he told Dimitre.
"What's for dinner?" Marquisse asked them.
"We are having chicken parmesan with mashed sweet potatoes and mixed vegetables and for dessert we are having hot apple pie with vanilla ice cream on top." Sonja said to him.
"Oh that sounds really good can't wait to eat I am starving have not eaten anything all day." he told her.
So the family sat down at the diningroom talbe to eat dinner and talk about how their day was and how work was going for them.
"So sonja how did you make out at the doctors the other day?" her father asked her.
"It went well I am about 5 weeks into my pregnancy already." she said to him.
"Oh that is really great hun so does the doctor know when you will deliver the baby?" he asked her.
"No we will know in about another month when I go for my first ultrasound to find out what we are having." she replied.
"Oh okay well that is good to hear." he said to her.
"Thanks dad it is really great to find out what we are going to have this time." she said to him.
"So are you having morning sickness is yet? Her mom asked her.
"Yeah I get sick all the time now but the last time I was pregnant I never got sick like I do now." she said to her mom.
"Oh well sometimes that happens hun it did when I was pregnant with you." she told Sonja.
"Oh...Mom I don't need to hear that from you." she replied.
Sonja quickly ran to the bathroom because she had to throw up because of the morning sickness she was having.
"Sorry mom I did not mean it like that I had to puke." she said to her mom.
"It's okay hun I forgive you it is not your fault. She told Sonja.
"Thanks mom I knew you would understand what I am going through." she replied.
"Your welcome hun." she told Sonja.
"So Marquisse can I call you Uncle Marquisse?" Sonja asked him.
"Sure you can call me that I don't care." he told her.
"Great thanks for letting me call you that." she repiled.
"Your welcome." he repiled.
So after all the women went to bed and the twins were asleep the men were in the study talking about how their lives have changed so much because now that they have a new family member they lit up some cigars to celebrate Marquisse joining their growing family and to Isaac becoming a daddy again.
