"Gently, gently," Mr. Mi cautioned, guiding his wife into the car he had brought to take her home."My babyyyy… …baby… .." She cried entering the car."It's okay, honey." He consoled."I want my baby," she shouted at her husband, falling down to sit on the bare floor. "You don't want to cause more embarrassments, do you?" He lifted her from the ground where she was sitting already. They were discharged for the day from the hospital, Mr. Mi says Mrs. Mi will be more dramatic if she spends the night at the hospital."Are you okay?" Mrs. Jones asked Giselle on their way out of the hospital exit. They hopped into the hired taxi."Drrrrr, drrrrr." Her phone rang. "Hold on honey," "Hello, baby.""'baby'?" Giselle wondered. "Who is the baby?""How are you? I miss you," She said to the caller. It was Thomas, her own biological son. "I miss you too, mom.

She asked, smiling."I am okay, honey.""Thomii is coming back today, isn't it?"Laughing at the young woman, Ellen answered, "It's Thomas honey, not Thomii," she corrected."Tho–mis," she repeated, smiling."Say Tho–mas," Ellen said again. "Tho–mas," Giselle said again."Good morning, ladies," Mr. Jones voice came in on the twain."Good morning, honey," Ellen greeted."Good morning, daddy," Giselle said, moving closer to have a short hug."Did you sleep well?" He asked the two."Yes," Giselle answered."And you, my love?" He said facing his wife."I did too," she answered, smiling at her husband."Okay, that's good. I should prepare for work," he said, moving to his room to take his bath."Mum?" Giselle called."Yes, honey," Ellen answered, checking for updates
Wearing a red petite gown and a black hat, Mrs. Ellen looked perfect.Giselle simply wore a blue gown and slippers holding her mother by her hand and they chatted on their way out of the compound."Hello, Mr. Mi. How do you do?" She greeted her neighbour, hugging him shortly."I am doing well, thank you. How are you Mrs. Jones?" He asked her."I am doing well, thank you."*I see you are on your way out," he said and patted Giselle."Good morning, sir," Giselle greeted the man finally."How are you feeling today?"

"Hi, mummy!" Thomas's voice sounded. She watched him rush towards her. "Babyyy!" She said, still recovering from the shock."Come here," she said and they had a long hug."Hello, sis," Abby, Thomas's aunt, greeted Ellen, her sister."Hi, dear. How are you? I wasn't expecting you both, not today.""Sorry, we thought it sweet to surprise you.""Surprise me? By scaring me, right?" She asked, making a mess with her face. "Mum, who is she?" Thomas pointed at Giselle, looking confused."She is our new baby, your sister," Ellen smiled, hugging her son tightly."New baby? And she's looking like my age mate, how? Did you birtu her like this size?" He confusedly asked. "Hi, my name is… .." Giselle tried a short introduction. "Let's get inside," Ellen said, smiling. She took out her keys and unlocked the apartment. ** ** **"Wow!

Many years came and passed, Giselle graduated with her brother from a tertiary institution.Thomas and Giselle moved out of their parents house, they lived in a city far away from their parent's. They still talk with their parents on the phone. Fortunately for Thomas, he secured a job with a company, Diamonds company."Congratulations, bro," Giselle had said to him when he broke the news to his sister. Ellen and Jones still lived together as a couple, Jones still does fishing for a living, and Ellen finally got a job as a teacher to teach younger children in beginner's classes.Jones didn't fish everyday like he used to, because Thomas always sent him money for their upkeep. He went to the riverside once a while mostly because of exercise. Unfortunately for Giselle, she has no job. She had visited several companies for employment opportunities, but they seem not to want her service."I am tired," she once cried to Thomas."Relax, honey. You'll secure a good job very soon, okay?"

Giselle did not stop anticipating the interview. The next morning had arrived, and Giselle was still snoring in her room.Thomas wakes up in his room, checks the time and storms into Giselle's room. "Gis! Wake up," Thomas screamed at Giselle when he entered her room."What?" She asked, looking at him. "Wake up, it's almost time!" Thomas cried again. "What? Leave me alone," She cried, turning to the other side of the bed.Ignoring her, Thomas moved to the window to open the curtains, causing the rays of light to co
Max drove his taxi towards the direction of a big boutique in the city, "Won't you be late for the interview?" He asked."I am already late, I will still try my luck and see if I can get employed," She said with a melancholic tone. "Just get me to the boutique.""Okay, ma'am," He said, making a turn."Are there possibilities of you dropping me at the boutique and also taking me to the company? Please," She begged."I don't mind, ma'am. I shall drop you at the company," He said, halting at a boutique with the name 'GRACE'"Grace," Giselle said when she saw the name. "I shall see you shortly, Mr. Max. Hold on," and she walked into the boutique using the door."Hello, ma'am. Welcome to GRACE'S boutique and store, how can I be of help to you?"

This morning, she turned on her bed and a tune rang into her ears.Giselle had set her alarm the previous night to ring by 6AM this morning, so she wouldn't be late for work. Afterall, it will be her first day at work. Getting into the bathroom, she took off her clothes. Grabbed the sponge and soap and rubbed her body when she merged both. She came out of the bathroom and graced her fine body with her body cream, then wore the already washed and ironed dress the car splashed puddles on. And then, selected the handbag of her choice. She walked into the living room when she sprayed perfume on her body and met Thomas drinking tea from a cup, "good morning, Tom," She greeted Thomas."Who is the latest employee in town?" Thomas asked teasingly."Giselle Jones, I am," She answered laughing."Good morning, how was your sleep?" He asked after hugging her shortly."Fine, how was yours?" She asked, drinking tea from the cup Thomas handed to her. "Fine too, want a ride?" Thomas asked. "Naaa
