Chapter 38

David blinked awake to the sound of crunching in his ear. "Hi, Daddy", said the little boy's voice.

David rolled over and said, "Malachai, what part of AFTER your mama and I wake up did you NOT understand?"

"But I wanna see my brother and sister NOW, Daddy. I don't wanna wait any longer."

"I don't care, Malachai. Let me and your mama rest, then you can see your baby brother and baby sister."

"But, Daddy..."

"NOW!" David growled at the little boy. Malachai pouted, but left the room. David started to settle back into the bed when Malachai came back and said, "Can Aunt Kristen show me the babies?"

David rubbed a hand over his face. "Go get Aunt Kristen and ask her to come here, Malachai. Then, go find Uncle Danny." Malachai ran from the room.

"Malachai? Where the hell did you disappear to now, boy?" Dan called. When Malachai came running down the stairs, Dan sighed. "About damn time, child. Where were you?"

"I was talking to my Daddy."

"I told you not to bother your Daddy or Mama, didn't I?"

Malachai shrugged. "So?"

Dan blinked at the boy. "SO? Malachai, get yourself back downstairs in that living room before you get yourself in SERIOUS trouble. Uncle Johnny needs his Guitar Hero partner."

"Where are you gonna go?"

"I'm gonna go talk to your Daddy."
