Let Me Stay The Night

“Daddy, Mommy, we…” Lucas was at a loss for words as she stared at them both blankly.

Camila looked up, her lashes wet with tears. “Daddy, Mommy, have you made up? You won’t fight anymore, right?”

It took Christina a while to calm down and stop crying. She gazed at her daughter’s innocent expression and patted her head gently. “Yes, we’ve stopped fighting. We will never fight again.”

“Daddy and Mommy won’t be apart,” Nathaniel said, his voice firm.

Camila’s eyes lit up. “Wow! Look, Lucas. God is amazing. Daddy and Mommy aren’t fighting anymore!”

Mr. Patel really didn’t lie to us!

Lucas broke into a grin. “Yes, Camila. We did it!”

Christina was left speechless as she felt a surge of emotions upon realizing that her children had prayed for her.

Feeling bad, she gazed at them both and said, “Your hair and clothes are wet. Let me bring you home.”

The children had been caught in the rain and were completely drenched.

They were oblivious to their soaked state until Christina pointed it out to them. A sudden chill ran down their spines as they became aware of their sopping-wet clothes.

“Achoo!” Camila rubbed her nose and threw herself into Nathaniel’s arms. “Daddy, hold me. Mommy is going to hit our butts soon!”

Lucas and I loved playing in the rain. Every time, Mommy would scold us and make us stand as a punishment, warning us about catching a cold from being drenched. It had been some time since I had done that, but today I had no choice but to do so.

Nathaniel pressed a kiss on her forehead. “Good girl, Mommy won’t hit your butt today. Let’s head home.”

Christina cradled Lucas in her arms, while Nathaniel held Camila close as they walked out of the church together.
