“Much better,” she answered, closing her eyes. “Now let me get some sleep before these boys start acting up again.”

I laughed and kissed her once more before settling into the chair beside her.

She managed to sleep for a while, and I finally grabbed something to eat after Rah and her mother got on my ass about it.

Saint arrived later with Eve, Harlow, Cadence, and Titan. Gabi showed up after finishing her appointments at the shop, and Tae immediately went over to greet her.

“Wassup, bruh? How Tori doing?” Saint asked, dapping me up.

“She’s straight. Finally getting some rest,” I replied.

“Good. I know your ass been going crazy,” he said, laughing.

“Man...” I dragged out.

Harlow hugged me, followed by Cadence, who was smiling from ear to ear.

“Joni, this is crazy. I find out I got two more brothers, and now I’m getting two nephews,” Cadence said, wrapping her arms around me.

“Shit, sis, it’s been a hell of a day,” I replied, hugging her.

Titan shook his head when Tae came over to hug her too.

“Aight, that’s enough of you niggas touching on my wife and shit?” He grit like we gave a fuck.

“Nigga, fuck you. That’s our sister,” Tae replied, making everybody laugh.

Saint looked between us and shook his head.

“I’m done with family functions. Every time I turn around, I find out I got another fucking sibling,” he complained.

Tori opened her eyes when she heard the commotion. After everyone greeted her, I finally got the chance to tell her about the DNA results.

“So all three of y’all have the same father?” she asked, looking between me, Tae, and Saint.

“Yep,” I confirmed.

She smiled and squeezed my hand.

“Baby, I’m so happy y’all finally got some answers,” she told me.

“Me too, mama.”

It was still a lot to process, especially knowing Frank had been dead for years, but I was glad we’d gotten the truth. I had another brother and sister, and that was something I could appreciate.

Eventually, the nurses asked us to limit the number of people in the room so Tori could rest. Most of the family moved to the waiting area while I stayed with her.

Mase arrived later with AJ, who came straight to the bed when he saw us.

“Wassup, Pops? They here yet?” He asked.

“Nah, son. Your brothers taking their sweet-ass time,” I replied.

He laughed and leaned down to hug Tori.

“How you feeling, Auntie?” He asked.

“Tired, baby. I’m ready to meet them just like everybody else,” she answered.
