"Baby, pull yourself together. You're embarrassing our kid" Violet giggles.

"Is your daughter a valedictorian?!" He asks making eye contact with his first son.

"Dad, do I have a daughter?" He asks Orion, with a smug grin.

"Exactly. So, hold your lips" Orion argues, making Donovan burst out laughing at the phrase he had so often heard their grandmother say to Orion a million times.

Orion chuckles with his son, hugging him for the fifth time that day.

"I'm so proud of both of you" he says, pulling Aaliyah into the hug, making people around them coo and aw.

"My son is going to get into architectural engineering and my daughter is gonna be a whole lawyer. God has blessed me" he says.

They look at Violet, who is standing with the youngest but tallest Miller.
