ALEX THANK GOD FOR SAVING HIM

Alex, checks his time, 'Why hasn't she returns from the wash room yet? Is she alright?' Looking towards the door.

'Oh Lord, what is taking her so long? I better go and check to see she is alright. This morning she wasn't feeling so well and she just drink that glass of milk.

I am sure it won't keep her up for long.' Becoming worried, Alex rise up to go in search of her, when Maria holds his hand. Seeing her concern, "Ma'am, Diandra said she was going to the washroom."

Hearing Champ saying, "Mummy, mummy."

Alex looks around then ask, "Where is your mummy son?" Being anxious to see Diandra, Alex followed the child finger as he points towards the stage.

Unable to believe his eyes, she was among the few in the choir, looking so beautiful, 'If only Melissa was here to see her, she will be amazed

Noticing she send a kiss to Champ and smile with me. Maria heard him chuckle when he said, "She sings in the choir?"

"Yes!" Now understanding why she was so anxious saying, 'She don't like to reach to Church late. She has a responsibility, and she seem to like what she does.'

Alex whispers to Maria, "Will I be taking her away from her friends?"

"There is no need to worry, she makes friends easily wherever she goes."

Settling down enjoying the service, it felt good to be back in church. 'Mom is not here, but these people are Diandra family, and there is so much I will have to learn about each of them. But this is a new beginning for us.'

Holding Diandra hand on his lap when she came and sit down after worship, thanking God for having mercy on him and for saving him when he did.

The service finish at nine and we were all gathered at Sam and Maria home for lunch.

Last night was fill with so many talks and anxiety that he just eat, but now enjoying every mouthful of this delicious meal gives his heart reason to rejoice.

Thinking, 'Oh this is good, and my wife could cook all these delicious meals, so what else do I need to know for now?

Although I know there are more secrets they are withholding from me, but soon I will discover them one by one when she return to my home.'

Looking at each person seated at the table, Alex notices when Sam, Maria and Diandra take turns feeding his son.

After the meals the ladies all went to the kitchen, while Ken, Sam and myself with the child as we relax, looking at the video Natalia put on for Sam to view.

Seeing her family seems to bring joy to Sam heart, but not once when Champ went to him, he ignores him and it was the same with Ken.

When the ladies came and sit not too far away, planning for the two days that they will be spending with the family.

Beverly seems happy mingling with them. Diandra on the other hand look very tired, noticing she yawn a few times but I said nothing.

Seeing and hearing them together, I know now I have no need to worry about her and my son.

She is in good hand, and there is so much preparation to make before Sam and Maria move in with us. Alex knew that the time will go so quickly.

Although Diandra know that Champ is playing with Sam and Ken, she often glimpses at him to see where or who he is with.

Recalling the heated conversation, he had home with her about learning to read and write and if she had a child.

Smiling, she was so convincing and I was so angry, but seeing her now, knowing she is a wonderful mother, sister, daughter and friend.

Last night the way she digs Beverly out of that pit she put herself in. I was proud of her and she think so quickly.

Even this morning episode when she washes the visitor's clothes in such a short space of time, but how did she really did it?'

When Maria said, "Dee, you look so tired."

Alex knew it was his que so he stood up, hearing Champ call, "Papa!"

"Yes son."

"Papa, you going?"

"Yes, my son but I will return soon to see you, or will you like to go home with mummy and I?"

Seeing him look at Ken, Sam, Maria and the others. "Champ, do you want to stay with grandpa and grandma?" Diandra ask.

Hearing him ask Ken, "Uncle Ken you going?"

When Ken scoop him up, "I am going home later buddy."

When he asks Ken to put him down then he came to me, Alex stoop down, as Joash takes his both hand and place it on his face.

Then he said, "Papa, I stay with Granpa," then he hugs me and kiss my face.

Loving the way, he hugs him, Alex said, "When I call your mummy, I will speak with you."

Hugging him, "I will miss you and your papa love you very much."

Alex notices the tears, 'For a three years old, he understands so much, and he is a very smart child.'

Gently stroking his face, "Papa, will talk to his son every day in mummy phone, so be good for mummy."

"I will papa, I promise you?"

"That's my boy, now go to Granpa."

Standing up not wanting to leave him, but the time was going, and Alex still have so much to do for the morning. Saying his goodbye and thanks to Sam and Maria.

When Diandra cuddle him in her arms saying, "Mummy will see her baby later or in the morning, so be a good boy for grandma and grandpa. You can sleep with Aunty Margret or Aunty Natty."

"Nope!"

When Natalia scoop him up. "Now say by bye to your Papa, and mummy."

Diandra said her goodbye then wave as she and Alex left.
