Awwww smiley smiley this story is soo touching!!! ! For the most preferred character I think I would also go with Hadampson too Aunt liz is just an angel to that family gush I dread the thought of what would have happened if she didn't come at the time she did!! But EvaJael if Aunt Liz is 49 years and Brian is younger to her and he already has 16 year old children did he then get married at 20!!! Coupled with the fact that he is a neurosurgeon!!
I'm sorry I didn't state that Brian and aunt Liz are a year apart. If you notice their conversation,they speak almost like mates.I assumed he got married at 31 and had his kids at 32.
About his career, I know of men that continued with their medical courses even after having a family. Jamille and Jason are not too close to their dad because they missed his presence since childhood.
Thanks for the observation. I hope u get it now

Aunt came back three hours later. She looked beautiful with the shoulder length crochet braids.
"Wow,your hair stylist sure did a good job. This is beautiful."
"Thank you darling"
Just then a call came in for aunt. She picked it.
"Yes,Philip. Gosh Philip! I never told you such young man. Their flight lands by 6pm."
There was silence for few seconds.
"Alright,alright. Just make sure you are there by 6pm. I don't want them to wait for you. Taken?"
She cut the call.
"Well,that was Philip. I employed him as the driver some months back. He's a really good one."
"Oh ok."
"Well baby, I went a little shopping and got you a new phone." She brought out a Gionee M5 mini for me.
I was overjoyed. My previous phone got lost during the burial of my mother. I didn't understand why a human being would steal in a burial.
"Thanks aunt."
"Don't mention. We're preparing coconut rice for this evening. I suggest we start now. It's almost five o'clock."
We started the preparations. In less than no time,we were done. We went to freshen up before Uncle and the girls arrived.
Aunt was ready before me. I came downstairs to meet her grinning from ear to ear.
"Aunt,don't let your lips tear o."
"Baby,when you get married to the one your heart beats for,you'll understand that I can't help it."
I smiled.
"You're growing into a beautiful young lady. Soon,prince charming will arrive and I will dance better dance."
"Aunt! That's still far. I have to go to school and establish myself first."
"Nothing's too far o. You're 16 dear. It'll be here before you know it."
"Well if you say so aunt."
Her face was now devoid of the smile she carried earlier. She sighed and then said to me " Jamille,there are things you must know but not now. I only want you to prepare your mind."
I was a bit scared "Are these things very bad?"
Her smile returned.
"Of course not. I didn't mean to scare you. I'll tell you before prince charming takes you from me."
"Nobody can take me from you aunt. I'd rather die than allow that."
She laughed. "We'll see dear. I understand you put in University of Uyo as your first choice of university."
"Yes aunt, I did. I still want to study Mass Communication. I made the cut-off point in the UTME."
"I know, the names for admission will be out in September. This is July. I have only a month to be with you fully."
"Ah ah aunt, I'll be around for you always."
She pulled me in for a hug. Aunt Liz was the greatest hugger in the world. She cherished hugs a lot.
"Never forget I love you dear."
"I love you more aunt."
We heard the honk of the horn outside the gate. Aunt rushed outside immediately. Before I went out, I prayed that I would fit in here. I wasn't scared of Uncle Liam. I knew he loved me. It was the thought of the girls that gave me a headache. I brushed the evil thoughts aside and went out to welcome them.

Jamille


I turned my face to the window. The drive to aunt's house was a long one. She had moved to her new house in Shelter Afrique three months ago. This is the first time I would be going there since she moved.
When we arrived, I was awed. The house would give our own house a run for its money. 
It was a beautiful one-storey building painted sky-blue.
Just like our house,flowers were planted all around the house.
"This is beautiful aunt."
"Thanks dear,that's what you get when your husband is an architect."
"I'd love to come in but I'm late already for work."
I was used to hearing that. Dad's job as a neurosurgeon never allowed him to have time. He was on leave since mum's burial. He only resumed today.
He removed my bags from the boot of the car,pecked my forehead before entering the car and zooming off.
"Welcome home baby"
"Thanks aunt."
We moved the bags inside. My room was upstairs again.
After dropping the bags,we went on a tour round the house.
It was simply astonishing. 
"Aunt,the house is so confusing. I hope I don't get lost anytime soon."
"Aww honey. It's because this is your first time here. You'll get the hang of it, I promise."
"If you say so"
We settled down in the parlour. There was light and aunt turned on the television. 
"The girls will be back with your uncle this evening. They decided to fly to Lagos to welcome him home."
"Ok, where is their school?"
"It's in Calabar. They go to University of Calabar"
"Oh! I see. I miss uncle a lot."
"You'll see him in a matter of hours."
We talked for a while before she told me she was going to the salon to have her hair plaited.
"Do you want to come with me?"
"No, I'll still keep packing my hair for now. I'll make it next weekend."
"Alright,stay safe. Don't just sit there,this is your house. Feel free."
"Sure aunt."
She left the house few minutes later. I tried to remember what my aunt's adopted girls looked like. I remembered their names, Rachel and Kara. I wasn't sure which was older but I knew one was a year older than the other. The younger one was surely about two years older than Jason and I.
I prayed I wouldn't have any problems with them. We never grew up together. They lived in Akwa Ibom longer than us. 
We moved in from Abuja back to Akwa Ibom when Jason and I were three. Dad and Mum wanted to come back to their hometown.
As young kids taken away from the home they once knew,we never socialised with the other kids throughout our primary education. Mum succeeded in forcing us to accept our new home in our J.S.1.
By this time, Rachel and Kara began boarding,only coming home during the holidays. Each time they came back,they travelled with Aunt Liz and her husband. 
This arrangement never let us know them well. We only knew they were the adopted children of aunt Liz.
"I just hope we'll be good friends when they arrive" I said to myself as I returned my attention to the soap opera on the television.

Aunt Liz

We all retired to our rooms around 11pm. I'm not sure there was a soul in the house that didn't have a peaceful rest. Friday morning came faster than I wanted it to.
I sighed as I made my way out of the bed.
"Merciful heavens!" I exclaimed when I noticed the time was few minutes past 7am.
I quickly had my bath and headed downstairs. I heard the clanging of pots in the kitchen.
Jamille was in the dining room setting the table.
"Good morning aunt"
"Good morning baby. Thanks for saving my life. I had no idea I had slept that long."
She laughed and said "It's OK aunt. I would have still prepared breakfast even if you were up on time."
"Good morning ladies" Jason and Brian chorused from the stairs.
"Good morning gentlemen" Jamille and I chorused too. The whole room reverberated with laughter.
We soon settled down to eat. As usual, Jamille was the first to finish eating.
"I'll just go change and bring my bags down." She announced before leaving.
I turned to Jason "Jason?"
"I'll wash up aunt, I promise."
I smiled. "How do you know that's what I wanted to ask you to do?"
He shrugged.
"Well,sorry to disappoint you but that's not it. I wanted to ask you to take good care of yourself and your old man. A maid will be coming today,so you need not worry about food,cleaning and the 'ladies stuff' as you call it."
"Really aunt? This is why I love you. You're always taking care of your small husband."
"Common leave this place,small husband ke"
He laughed. "I'm going up to see Jamille."
"Not so fast dear, you promised to wash up."
He froze on the stairs. If there was anything Jason hated,it was washing dishes. He turned to me with pleading eyes. "Alright, I'll do it. Run along"
He ran up the stairs very fast before I would have the chance to change my mind.
"Funny boy" I said to myself. Brian was still on the table,busy with his thoughts.
"A penny for your thoughts" I snapped my fingers right before his eyes.
"Liz,when will you change?"
"Let's see, never"
"Take good care of her. I'll drop you guys in your house before heading to work."
"Alright sir."
I did the dishes as quickly as I could before going upstairs to carry my bag and call Jamille.
"Mille,your father and I are waiting for you. We have to go now."
She came out first followed by Jason who was carrying her boxes.
Brian said a prayer before we left the house. Jason refused to come,saying he didn't want to cry. Jamille and Jason hugged like it was the end of the world before finally letting go.
"Aunt Liz,I'll divorce you if you don't take good care of my angel."
I laughed and entered the back of the car with Jamille. Jamille kept looking back as tears streamed down her face.
"Baby,why are you crying? Don't you want to stay with me again?"
"Oh I do aunt. It's just that I feel a chapter of my life closing. I feel like I'm no longer a part of that house."
"Hush dear,don't say that. We wouldn't want your dad to hear you. You'll always be part of that house. I'll let you go back there permanently someday soon when I'm sure you're ready."
She nodded.

Jamille

The driver was already outside waiting. We entered the car and left the compound. The drive out of the estate we live in always seemed long to me.
I was getting tensed inside the car.
"Could you please turn up the radio sir?"
"Alright miss"
He turned it up and cool music flooded the car. That seemed to help calm my nerves.
"I believe you remember where I told you to take us to." Jason spoke for the first time since we entered the car.
"Yes sir"
"Carry on then."
I had never been a fan of going out. My life revolved around home,school,church and the market.
"What's going on in your mind sis?"
"Well,nothing really."
"In that case,it's the perfect time ."
"Perfect time for what Jay?"
"I just wanna apologise for being a jerk. I wanna apologise on behalf of dad too. I know the kind of pain you feel 'cause I feel it too. I don't want you to leave the house mad at me dear. Forgive the only brother you've got."
"I'm not angry at you bro. I'm the one who isn't able to manage grief well. Forgive me too. You know I love you,right?"
"Oh sure Mille,thank you. You're an angel"
"Is it today you knew that one?"
"You should be thanking me for lying to you about that sef. I needed to boost your ego." I made a face and punched him on the shoulder.
"Ouch,that hurt"
"Good. That means the punch lived a fulfilled life after all."
I stopped talking when I noticed the car had been pulled to a halt.
We were in the parking lot of Ibom Tropicana.
"Is this for real Jay?"
He didn't answer me but pinched me instead.
"What was that for you slowpoke?"
"I'm sorry sis, I was only trying to prove that it's for real."
I laughed and alighted the vehicle.
Before we left,he turned to the driver.
"Oga you can go flexing for now. When we're ready,we'll call you. And don't worry,it's our little secret."
"Thank you sir,you're so kind."
"Ah it's nothing and please I'd prefer Jake."
He held my hand as we walked through the doors. We bought our movie tickets and went to see a two-hour movie.
After the movie,we decided to play some games. While we were at it, Jake called the driver to start coming back. We had so much fun.
The driver arrived. Jason instructed him to take us to Cherries in Nsikak Eduok Avenue. He obeyed.
"Mille,we're only going to eat light here. I don't want you to be too full. I have something else in store for you."
I was beside myself with joy. We went in and ordered for snacks. After eating,we sat chatting and laughing. I suddenly realised I missed Jason so much all this while. We took so many selfies till I was afraid the camera would shut down. When it was few minutes past 6pm, Jason suggested we start heading home.
We talked about everything and nothing during the drive back to the estate. Luckily,we arrived home before 7pm. I didn't know what would have happened to us if we delayed further.
When we arrived home, I was so exhausted. I walked slowly to the door and opened it.
The sight that met my eyes left me in tears.
I almost fell down if not for the timely intervention of Jason. The living room was decorated with lights and flowers. Dad and aunt were dressed like Jason and I respectively. I ran to them and hugged them both. Tears were streaming down my face.
"Don't cry baby please" That was aunt's unmistakable voice.
Daddy hugged me again. "I'm really sorry baby for everything."
"It's fine dad, I'm sorry too."
"Enough of the tears and drama, I'm hungry" Jason said.
"I don't know why my beloved nephew must be so annoying all the time."
He laughed and moved over to her side.
"I know that's why you love me. On a serious note, I'm dying of hunger."
"As your punishment for ruining the wonderful reunion I was watching, you'll serve everyone and take your food last."
Jason groaned and we all laughed.
