DUO J: GENIUS
In order to

“Gee, what box was yesterday opened?”

“Box? Which box, Nigel?”

“Brown box. There's a G-Personal on the lid. I brought it yesterday to The Brown.”'s house

“I haven't seen it. Later I ask Mother, yes.”

“Good.”

“What is it, Nig? Very important?”

“Not something can go stale, Gee. It was so important to you at that time that it was also very important to me. I'm grateful those things didn't go away.”

Gail could feel a change in emotions as Nigel said his sentence. The man's sad face seemed to be connected to Gail's mood, so it was sad.

“What's up, Gee?” nigel asked, realizing that his wife was silent while looking at him.

Gail smiled in response. The last mouthful of strawberry pudding ran out in his mouth.

Nigel smiled at Gail's increasingly beautiful smile in her eyes. There are no words to explain how amazing the moment is now.

“Nigel-” says Gail hanging. There were doubts to discuss what happened between them yesterday afternoon.

Nothing has changed from Nigel during Gail's time with her husband. Gail's thoughts and feelings have not been in line to talk about yesterday.

“Papa, Mama,” calls came from two voices that emerged from the entrance of the open room. It was definitely Duo J.

The attention of the two humans in the room turned to the children. Like a helper angel to Gail who would be confused if Nigel asked her to continue the hanging sentence.

“Papa and Mama at the dinner table, Duo J,” exclaimed Nigel welcomed his two children.

Jemma and Jarrett run to get to where their parents are sitting. The Landon who was behind his two grandchildren only shook his head.

"Good morning, Father," Nigel said as he stood up as the in-laws came closer to him.

"Good morning, son-in-law," Landon replied.

One adult and two five-year-olds joined Gail and Nigel at the dinner table.

"Jemma lost Mama, I was also mocked by Jarrett, who was mocked" the princess said, asking for her body to be lifted into Gail's lap.

"I'm sorry Mama didn't wait for the Princess to wake up first" Gail said, then kissed the girl's cheeks in her lap.

"Mam, sorry Jemma this is so much for Mama."

"But still crying" said lightly Jarrett who sat in a chair beside Nigel. Not exciting if not chiming his twin sister to be upset.

"Jarrett, I didn't cry!" said Jemma whose tone of voice was rising. He came down from Gail's lap.

"My eyes saw water running down your cheek, Jemma."

"The tears come down themselves."

"Zinc."

"Pap, Jarrett said crybaby again" Jemma's fight this time to Nigel.

Gail and Landon, who are familiar with the childish version of Duo J, just watch. They just enjoy.

While Nigel served Jemma to please the little girl without making Jarrett feel excluded. A moment not to be forgotten.

Some lapse of time, it was time for them to continue their respective affairs. Gail and Landon leave for The Brown Kitchen.

Nigel and Duo J remain in Addison's villa. The large room that was being occupied was not as warm as when there was Gail. That's the same thing that's in their hearts.

"Pap, can we stay together? There was Mama and Papa, Grandma and Grandpa, with Jarret and me" Jemma said.

The sense of security and comfort that Jemma got from the embrace of the father and the rubbing affection in his head made the little woman let out her heart.

"Can, Je. We just need to be more patient so that it happens sooner. Why ask, Princess?"

"Why not, Pap," said Jemma then shifted the subject, "Pap, me and Uncle Miel have something in common?"

Nigel understood that Jemma did not want to discuss what she felt. The father would not force it, so he followed where the words from the sweet mouth of his daughter.

"Of course you have, Je. You and your uncle are close family. Tell Papa, which equation?"

"Sama-sama is being hugged while sitting and his head is rubbed. I saw Uncle sleeping in Aunt's arms. Uncle's head was also rubbed like this. I'm getting sleepy."

Nigel's laughter was provoked by Jemma's narration. It was so cute that his daughter spoke. He also knew where the couple was missing.

"Unfortunately it's still morning, Je can't sleep now. You slept all night, right?"

"Yes, Pap. Don't hug and wipe my head again. Jemma leaned back," said Jemma directly holding Nigel's hand.

"OKAY. Anything for the Princess."

Turn of the provoked laughter of Jemma. He did not want anything other than the expectations for a perfect family to materialize.

"Pap, look at Jarrett. My brother is increasingly looking cool on his own with his tablet. That gift from Papa rarely leaves his hand."

"Jarrett is preparing a surprise. The tablet for your gift is still the same Papa, when will Je wear it?"

"Later when I needed to. Brother Ev said, he used his tablet at school. The lesson is there."

"Je can learn music on that tablet. Later Papa set the program in it. How about, The Princess?"

"Thank you, Pap. But I'm not gonna. For now, tomorrow, tomorrow one more, maybe until tomorrow."

"Why, Je?"

Jemma did not answer. Her small body gave a hug to Nigel and tightened their hold. Her beautiful face sank in the chest of the field of the papa.

For the time being, Nigel's instincts convinced him that something was different about Jemma today. His brain began to think about who he was going to ask and find out what was happening.

"Good morning, Handsome Genius," the greeting goes to Jarrett. Miles and Avery first saw the boy when he walked into Nigel's room.

"Good morning, Uncle and Aunt. Please say hello to my name," said Jarrett then returned serious with his reading on the tablet screen.

Though already knowing that Jarrett is not like the sweet-mouthed Jemma, Miles still follows Avery to tease the nephew. See his wife holding back a laugh, it's fun for Miles.

"Darling, is Jemma asleep?" avery whispered to Miles. He made sure before acting.

Miles asked silently towards Nigel. Through a gesture, the papa from Jemma asked the two to greet also the princess whose face was still attached to Nigel.

"Good morning, Sweet Nephew. This is Aunt with her Charming Uncle Jemma" said Avery energetic to be cheered by the little girl.

"Good morning, charming Aunt and charming Uncle" Jemma said. Her sweet mouth was already visible because it no longer held Nigel.

"Oh, Auntie's darling," said Avery blushed.

Jemma's words are something. After Miles, Avery gets hit. For the two adults, the sweetness of the word and the way the nephew said it made the heart flattered.

"Jemma, did you bring these chips?" asked Avery while pointing at the packets of chips on the dining table. He shifted his focus so as not to be melted by the sweetness of the nephew.

"No, Auntie. It's been there since I got here. Looks like Mama brought it. Looks like it was brought specially for Papa."

Once again Avery refrained from letting out his happy laughter. Already knew it was the contents of the bag that Gail had brought earlier when she picked it up, but hearing Jemma talk was fun for her.

Nigel and Miles sit back to watch the two women exchange their voices. When he heard the last part of Jemma's sentence, it was Nigel's turn to blush in shame.
