Jasmine brought Faye in as we stood to make introductions . She introduced each of us with Adam and Jack first then me.
“ So your the amazing man that stole my nieces heart?” Faye asked getting a nod
“ Yes I suppose so. It’s nice to meet you Faye.” I say shaking her hand
“ The pleasure is all mine hun. So how has my niece been treating you?” She asked as Jasmine blushes
“ Really good better then any other girl would.” I say as she gets a look of concern
“ Oh and how many have you been with?” She asks again as I gulp
“ Two and they were bad memories that Jasmine has been helping get rid of.” I answer getting a smile
“ Good as the past stays in the past as I always say. So where will I be sleeping while here?” Faye says asking as Jasmine takes her hand as i take her bag
“ Follow me Aunt Faye. Heath and I will show you.” Jasmine says looking so cute
Jasmine and I show Faye to her room. On the way Faye compliments the pictures and the woman in them. Faye asks who she is until Jasmine tells her. Faye says she is sorry in which I smile saying it’s ok. I tell her a bit about May as she smiles knowing May was a good person to know. We enter the guest room in which Faye goes wide eyed at the view. She looks around at the furniture complimenting again on May’s taste. I smile knowing she will love it here. I think for a moment before speaking.
“ Faye can I ask you something a bit personal?” I ask as she turns to nod before I continue “ Well I been thinking if you well would like a place to stay. Jasmine tells me you get busy and all, but you could think of this place as a home. I am sure your niece would like you closer then halfway across the country.” I explain as her and Jasmine look at me in shock
“ Heath are you sure as I don’t want to impose on you both?” She asks as I nod
“ Yes I am sure. Look I know this might say cliche, but once college is over and once Jasmine and I get use to life after, and we both feel it’s right I plan to marry her. I have found my destiny with Jasmine and want her as mine forever. Besides you won’t be imposing as Adam and Jack will also be living here.” I exclaim as she looks at Jasmine who nods
“ Heath question are you asking as my niece’s boyfriend or as a man who feels a debt to a woman that is close to being your mother age?” Faye says making my eyes grow wide
“ Aunt Faye how can you ask that.” Jasmine says asking as Faye keeps looking at me
“ Jasmine, I know how you feel about Heath. I asked because I want to see which side his heart shows.” Faye says getting me to see her question
“ As Jasmine’s boyfriend and I hope future husband.” I say as Faye walks up to me taking my hands
She looks up in my eyes with a serious look. I stand there not showing fear, but worry as I see her smile.
“ I would love to call this my home as well. Heath I feel I know you through my niece. So don’t feel bad or worry. I do want to say if the day comes that you choose to marry her you will have my blessing.” Faye tells me getting a smile as well as a hug
After the hug I leave them both to talk after I kiss Jasmine quickly. Once back down in the living room Adam and Jack asks how things are going. I tell them that I asked Faye to make this her home also as I knew Jasmine would like her closer. They both nod saying they liked her as she showed a respect to grandma. I smiled agreeing with them both.
We talked for a bit until Jasmine and Faye came back down. Jasmine returned to my lap with a smile. Faye sat between my brothers on the couch smiling. I could see she had been excited about coming to visit, but now she had another place to call home. That day was spent nicely as everyone was helping make Faye feel welcome in our home. The days that followed were nice as Christmas eve was here. Everyone had gifts under the tree that we had gotten the day after Thanksgiving.
The day was nice with laughter and cheer. I noticed Faye had taken to Adam and Jack. I cold see them getting used to her. Jasmine and I smiled knowing this family was just getting bigger. That night Jasmine did something totally different. She stripped me down to nothing having me get in bed. I watched as she stripped from her clothes then crawled into bed with me. Only tonight she straddled my hips placing her crotch against my manhood. She was wet for some reason as I felt her leaking on me.
“ Jasmine um your wet.’ I tell her getting a smile then nod
“ I know it’s because of you baby.” She tells me as I place my hands on her hips before she continues “ No baby not tonight. I want us to sleep like this. I want to sleep upon your body, and feel your manhood against my slit.”
“ Jasmine if we sleep like this something might happen.” I say as Jasmine smiles again
“ I know my love, but if it does it does as I am not going to stop it. I want you baby so very much, but I have a idea that will make it all so romantic just trust me sexy.” Jasmine tells me as I move my arms up pulling her down to me
We sleep like that in each others arms. Her heart tells me with love as mine tells her back the same. That night was relaxing as the woman that gave me her heart was now upon. Tiffany in the times we slept together never laid on me going to sleep like this. I closed my eyes knowing this was going to be my life with this beautiful woman.
Christmas morning I was woke up with Jasmine kissing my lips. I held her close to me returning the kiss. After just a few minutes Jasmine broke the kiss smiling as she looked in my eyes.
“ Good morning baby, Merry Christmas my love.” She tells me as I smile big
“ Good morning beautiful, Merry Christmas to you Sexy.” I reply seeing her smile as big
We cuddle for a few minutes before getting dressed to join our family down stairs. For the last few weeks Jasmine as been telling me to call my family. Either Chris or one of the others at least once to tell them I was ok. I pondered on that thought for a bit. So I bought a phone that wouldn’t be tracked. So when we got down stairs to see Faye, Adam, and Jack all talking with coffee or tea in hand I grabbed the phone on the mantle.
Jasmine noticed giving me a assuring smile of encouragement. I followed her to the kitchen around 9 a.m. to get my coffee for the morning and take my pill that I had to take. After coffee fixed and pill token I dialed a number I haven’t in a long time. I listened to the dial tone until I heard a old familiar voice.
“ Hello.” Chris stated greeting me as I listened to the background
I listened to hear Tiffany and Selena in the background laughing like they were very happy without me. I lowered the phone to hear Chris say hello again as I looked at the phone only to hang it up placing it on the counter. Jasmine noticed my expression making her way to me. She placed her hands on my chest while looking up in my eyes.
“ Well baby what did they say?” She asked me being concerned
“ Chris said hello, but it was the background that I heard.” I answered as she kept her stare
“ And?” She asked as I let out a sigh
“ They are better without me.” I answer as she places her hands up on either side of my face
“ Baby they might be, but those that are here need you….I need you so lets go in there to OUR family and spend the day happy and cheerful.” Jasmine tells me with a smile as I do the same to her words

Tiffany’s POV: That exact moment at Ellie’s house
“ Who was it Chris?” Selena asks as I see Chris looking at his phone
“ I don’t know as there is no number to dial back.” He answers with a hint of sadness
“ Da Da.” Karen says playing with the double heart necklace that Heath gave me on that horrific day
“ No honey your father isn’t here. Although I wish he was.” I say looking down in her bright blue eyes
“ Da Da.” Karen says again as I shake my head
“ Baby girl he isn’t here honey.” Selena says holding little Heath
“ Tiffany I think she is saying it was her dad that called.” My mother says as I look at Karen
“ You know babies can sense things we can’t.” Ellie says as all the parents nod
“ Karen do you think that was your daddy on the phone?” Kiko asks getting a smile
“ Da Da.” Karen says a third time answering one of her grandmothers
Chris, Selena, and I look at one another then at the two babies that Heath has never seen. If our parents were right then Heath was sending a message to us, or was going to talk only to hear laughter. My heart starts to break if it was Heath. I want the man I love so much to come home and see his beautiful little girl. She needs her daddy a I need the man I love. I send out a silent prayer to my deceased uncle. ‘ Uncle Greg watch over Heath and allow us to find him one day.’

After opening gifts in which everyone got some very nice ones even Adam who smiled at Faye. She gave him some new wrist bands as his others were starting to tear. I gave Jasmine a locket with our picture inside. Jack gave us all silver chains this year. Faye and Jasmine asked what they were for. Adam said he wanted us to wear them in style.
They laughed as Jack smiled. Jasmine gave me a bracelet with her name on it with hearts on each side. I thanked her with a kiss. Jasmine and I got our family matching pendants of all of us together that was taken Tuesday afternoon. Faye was happy knowing she was part of our family as she didn’t have any kids except the one that was like a daughter to her in my lap. Jasmine loved her aunt as a mother which made this Christmas that much special for them both. I smiled at everyone as I forgot about the call I made earlier. This was my family who I felt so much love from.
As the day went by our dinner was traditional this year. Faye and Jasmine made it with love for this family. As the evening was filled with movies I noticed Faye looking at us guys. I felt she wanted to say something in which she did just a few minutes later around 8 p.m.
“ Heath, Adam, and Jack I…I need to say something.” She says as Adam turns to see her eyes
