MALIKI
It has been 8 moths since Denny left, she contacted her dad 2 days after she ran off and told him she was fine and not to worry. She has talked to him a few time since then she has even contacted Brandon and Nate they did her Christmas run for her. Everytime I get the phone number she is using I call and it is disconnected or a payphone.
I miss her so bad that it makes my daily life hell. I just wish she would talk to me and tell me what happened what I did wrong. I am sitting across from the boss going over security for the Sendaya Gala. His phone starts ringing,
" Hello?"
" Denny girl calm down"
" No I'm not alone, Maliki is here with me"
"Yeah hold on" He excuses himself and walks off into his sound proof office.
DENNY
Huge problem I have been searching for a Nanny here is Galinda for months and no such luck. My twins decided to make a special appearence today and I am in freaking labor. I have abandonned all hope and pick up my phone calling my dad.
"Hello?"
" Daddy I don't know what to do I can't find any good help and I am scared dad help me"
" Denny girl calm down"
" Dad are you alone?"
" No I'm not alone, Maliki is here with me"
" Dad I need you to get away from him He doesn't need to hear this please"
" Yeah hold on" I wait for a minite or so and he comes back on the line
" I'm in my office Denny what is going on?"
" They are coming dad and I can't find any help"

" I will try daddy"
He ends the call

I hang the phone up from Denny grabbing my headset and calling Brandon and Nate in my office telling them to bring Rosie.
I sit in my chair laying my head against the desk. My daughter is pregnant is that why she ran away? She hasn't told any of us where she is and uses burner phones and payphones whenever she calls. Is she scared of someone? Is it Maliki? I have so many questions flooding my brain right now there is a knock on the door and I push the buzzer under my desk to open the door.
Brandon: " Sir you wanted to see us?"
I lift my head up
" Come in please and shut and lock the door"
They come in and do as I say and take a seat.
Nate: " Sir is something wrong?"
" Did Denny tell you two she was pregnant?"
Brandon's hand goes over his mouth and Nates jaw drops
Rosie: " I'm sorry repeat that"
" My daughter is pregnant, and in labor. She need a nanny so Rosie I am taking you up there and leaving you to help her pack what you need."
" Brandon and Nate I want security on my grandbabies from here on out that means you are both staying there as well Brandon will escort me back home and then return back to Denny"
" I know nothing about her living situation but we will figure it out when we get there"
They all nod
Brandon: " Sir where exactly are we going?"
" Galinda"
They all nod and walk out of the office I lay my head back down trying to clear my thoughts. There is another knock on the door. I push the button again to open it.
Maliki: " Sir is everything okay?"
" Is Ardenia okay is she in trouble?"
" Please sir let me help her I...."
I hold my hand up and lift my head
" I don't know what happened between the two of you Ki but right now my daughter needs my help. you need to find 2 replacements for your men Brandon and Nate are going with me. Also find a new cook Rosie will be staying there as well."
" Don't push it Maliki Denny will come back when she is ready, I think this is the first step in that process"
" Sir I love your daughter I will do anything for her"
" I know Ki right now I need you to stay here run the Gala for me tell everyone I had a family emergency"
" I will be back in a few days"
" Yes sir, as you wish" He turns around to head out the door then turns back to me
" Can you please just tell Denny I love her and I am sorry for whatever happened between us"
I nod and he walks out, I get up and start packing my things.

DENNY
It has been 11 hours since I called my dad they just gave me an epideral about an hour ago and I am dialated to an 8. The door swings open and my dad Rosie Brandon and Nate charge in my room.
Brandon is the first to me grabing my hand
" s**t DenDen why didn't you tell us we would have been here in a heartbeat"
" I needed to be on my own"
My dad grabs my other hand
" Denny this is not something you need to do alone"
I turn to him and tear fill my eyes
" Who was I suppose to do it with daddy Maliki? He was just waiting for the contract to be over and then he was going to take the money and run. He never wanted me dad he never wanted my babies"
My dad wipes my tears
" Shhh Denny that isn't true Maliki loves you and I know he would love the babies two"
" I heard him dad he was talking to Mike about it the day I left, it was all about the contract to him and I fell right into the trap"
Brandon strokes my hair
" Shhh DenDen let's not talk about Maliki it is making your blood pressure rise"
" Talk about the babies what are we having?"
I smile and giggle
" A little boy and a little girl"
Nate rubs my leg
" Twins DenDen that is amazing do you have names picked out"
I nod
" My little Boy is Maleek Daniel Owens and my little girl is Mabileen Avada Owens"
Rosie rubs my right leg
" You are giving them the last name Owens?"
I nod
" I took Maliki's last name after I left I figured you guys wouldn't think of it when you tried to track me down"
Brandon chuckles
" Welp you hit that one on the nose Den"
" I love the names though"
I look to my dad and he is smiling
" You are naming your little girl after your mom?"
I nod
" And his mom yes"
" I still love him no matter the circumstances daddy I will always be tied to Maliki"
He sqeezes my hand
" I know Sweet Pea"
" I love you so much"
" I love you two daddy"
I look around at the people surrounding me
" I love all of you and I am happy you came to help me."
Nate squeezes my leg
" Anything for you Den"
" Brandon, Rosie and I are staying here with you are you able to accomidate that or do I need to make arrangements?"
I shake my head
" No arrangements necessary I own a 6 bedroom ranch house outside town. hand me my bag I will write down the address and you and DonDon can go get set up."
I look between dad and Rosie
" Will you two stay with me while I deliver?"
They nod
Nate hands me my bag and I grab a pad and a piece of paper writing down my address and handing them the keys.
" The Master bedroom and the one next to it are mine and the twins but you guys can choose any of the rest."
They nod and each kiss my head
Brandon: " Happy health babies DenDen"
I smile and nod and they walk out. It take 2 more hours until I start pushing. Maleek comes out first and starts crying the doctor sets him on my abdomen and I put my arms around him. My dad cuts the cord and then they take him away to clean him up. Mabileen comes out next and the doctor sits her on my abdomen as she cries Rosie cuts that cord then they take her away.
Maleek is 6lb 12 oz
Mabileen is 7 lb 2oz
At 1:32am on January 29th
They take me to a new room and Brandon and Nate return and everyone takes turns holding the babies. I am breast feeding and Expressing my milk. Brandon Starts laughing
" What's so funny Don"
" 9 months to make them and Maleek comes out looking like his daddy"
I giggle
" Yeah and Mabileen has his eyes yipee for me"
They all laugh
Dad: " They are both Gorgeous Denny girl you did so good I am so proud of you"
" Even though I didn't finish the contract and take over the company"
" Yes Denny girl, you never needed that contract and you never needed my company"
Nate: " But we are happy about the contract"
I look at him bug eyed
" What why?"
Brandon laughs
" Because if it wasn't for that contract we wouldn't have these gorgeous little babies in our arms"
" Correction Gorgeous little God Babies"
Nate gasp
" Denny are you serious?"
I nod
" You guys have always been there for me, and the fact that you all came running when I needed you the most and picked up your stuff to move in with me. You deserve it I love you guys."
Brandon smiles
" We love you two DenDen"
The rest of the night goes by quickly and so do the next few days they released me after two days and my dad has taken his leave on day four. Brandon just got back and Rosie and I are cooking dinner while the kids sit in their bouncers as we all sing along to the music.
This is not the perfect picture at all but I am so happy to have these people in my life. Looking at my kids everday makes me miss Maliki more sometime.
