Chapter 9
Dénouement
The next morning Daryl entered the kitchen to find Curtis making grits.
"Mornin,'" Daryl greeted him.
Curtis looked at Daryl, with a big grin on his face.
"Make noise much?" Curtis asked, referring to the sounds of passion that emanated from Daryl's bedroom last night.
Daryl's face turned bright red with embarrassment.
"I'm happy for ya man. I love ya. You're like a Dad ta me," Curtis said with great emotion, and hugged Daryl.
"I love you too Curtis; I love you too," Daryl said, embracing his son.
At that moment Sheila came running into the kitchen. Seeing the men embrace, she ran over to them, wrapped one arm around Curtis' leg, and one arm around Daryl's leg, and pushed her face right up against them.
Curtis lifted her up and kissed her on the cheek. "Good mornin' sweetheart" he said.
Beth arrived in the kitchen, "What do we have here?" she asked.
"Our family," Sheila answered.
"We are a family," Beth replied, placing a kiss on Sheila's forehead.
"That's right," Daryl concurred. "I love y'all. I love all y'all," Daryl said kissing Sheila on the forehead, then kissing Beth gently on the lips, and holding his family close.
The end.
