Lisa: Can we go home, please?

Snakes: Are you sure?

Lisa nodded, still in Snakes' arms, who then nodded to the guys to take care of Sino. They understood and nodded back. He grabbed his car keys, Lisa refusing to even get off so he can drive. Chuckling to himself.

Snakes: Love, I have to drive, you know that right?

Lisa reluctantly got off his hold and climbed the passengers seat, curling up into a small ball of her own, in her small frame. Snakes reversed the car and driove to their house. As soon as they arrived, he glanced over Lisa's sleeping frame and smiled shaking his head. He unbuckled his seatbelt and got out the car, reaching the passenger seat he opened the door careful not to wake her up and picked Lisa bridal style before closing the door with his leg and locked it.

He placed her on the bed, he quickly striped and got in the shower, letting all the tension out. It amazed him how they were all hyper before they got the news, mission my arse. He thought to himself with a slightly amused smile. Then things just did a whole 360 turn after, he had expected something of some emotional distress, maybe also hugging in the end, to him it was like a twin finding her long lost twin, so he hadn't expected that emotional breakdown. It truly broke his stone hard heart seeing her break like that, the way she went into that anxiety attack, when she had stopped breathing it felt as if his own heart had stopped functioning as well. It had him thinking about what his secret could do to her then, not wanting to even think about the outcome of that, he sighed and turned the water off.

He wrapped a towel around his waist and took another white towel to dry his hair in front of the mirror, after drying it, he tossed the towel to the basket in the corner, his hair was now damp and clinging to his sides and forehead. He walked out of the bathroom, Lisa was still sleeping, so he got dressed in his joggers only and walked to his study. He poured the whiskey and just in cue his phone rang.

Snakes: Hello?

Mbali: Hey, I just called to check in on Lisa, her phone is unreachable so...

She trailed off, Snakes rubbed his face with his free hand.

Mbali: Are you alright?

Snakes: I'll be fine little one, and she's sleeping so I'll have her call you back when she's awake okay?

Mbali: Okay, have a good night Snakes.

Snakes nodded, forgetting that she couldn't see him, but before he could answer her back she had already hung up the call.

Deciding that it was enough drinking already he stormed to his bedroom, sure enough Lisa was still sleeping. He sighed and got into bed, pulling her into his chest he kissed her nose, closed eyes and forehead.

Snakes: Goodnight my love.

She snuggled closer to him, making his heart beat a million times faster than before with satisfaction.

Sino smiled at Mbali and Sanele after giving them hugs, She felt Siya's hand on her small back and looked up at him with a small smile. He led her outside to their car, this evening was dreaded, definitely not something she had seen coming. The whole ride was silent but she was thankful for it, she was in no mood to interact right now, feeling a load of emotions going through. How do you process the fact that, your dead mother is not your real mother, potentially someone who could've stolen you, she's not even here to answer her many questions. To top it all off, you have a sister, a living mother, from what she's heard, she's not really an ideal one at that.

She sighed, looking outside, she acknowledged that they had arrived, thankful for MaNkosi for thanking Jade for a while, she really didn't have the strength to keep up with her cheery persona right presently. She got out of the car and walked to the door, she immediately ran up the stairs to the bedroom. She slumped on the bed with a tired sigh, what's gonna happen now, her whole life was just a big fat lie, a lot of questions ran through her mind, how was she taken if she was, why? Was she taken at the hospital? Because surely she would've remembered if she was taken at a young age right?

Disturbed by Siya on her thoughts, she looked at him as he sat next to her on the bed facing her. She felt his thumb on her face, she hadn't even realised she had been crying, but why was she crying?

Siya: Come on, you need a shower.

Sino: Do I smell?

She asked with a playful smile on her face. Siya screwed his face.

Siya: Stinking hell.

She laughed as he picked her up and strode to the bathroom with her. He lowered her down and started undressing her slowly, not in anyway sexual but loving and delicate. He also got undressed.

Sino raised a brow at him in question. He only grinned at her, showing his perfect teeth.

Siya: I think I reek as well.

Sino rolled her eyes but the playful smile still on her face.

The baby's cry rang through the monitor, Mbali got up from the bed ready to go to her son, but Sanele pulled her down to bed.

Sanele: I'll get it.

He felt that she had been too exhausted with always having to wake up at night hours and a.ms. He got up and went to the nursery next to their room. He took baby lungelo in his arms as he tried to calm him down, after a while he did but he didn't sleep yet. His doe eyes staring into his fathers.

Sanele: What are you staring at?

Lungelo smiled at him instead. Sanele shook his head, wasn't he crying a second ago and now his all big smiles. He kissed his nose and mouth full of drool.

Sanele: Fun'lala nobaba? (wanna sleep with daddy?)

Again Lungelo just giggled at him, this time his eyes dropping, with a smile on his face still. Sanele chuckled and walked back to their room, placing the baby in between him and Mbali.

Mbali: Place him here, I might squash him in my sleep.

She said taking him to put him on her side, instead of the middle. She placed a pillow on the other side so he doesn't fall off the bed.

Sanele: Is this your way of getting closer to me sthandwa sam?

Mbali: Don't flatter yourself bab'ka Lungelo (Lungelo's dad)

Sanele: Whatever you say, maka Lungelo (Lungelo's mom)

He spooned his family, still not believing one bit that what he's craved most of his life was finally here, in his arms.

He looked down at them and smiled at their sleeping frames, the only thing left for him to do now was to wife and knock her up with more children, mostly girls, he could never get enough of seeing more of her, so what better way than to have mini hers with a combination of him, quite a sight that would be.
