After mourning by himself in the kitchen, Michael finally found his strength back for his husband and moved back into the living room. Prince, surprisingly still asleep. Michael has his little husband's head laying against his layed out legs on his thigh. His hand petting softly, and slowly through Prince's slightly messy afro.
It already got dark hours ago. Michael still waiting for his two older children to come home first before their aunts and uncles do. Before he could even close his eyes after from gently, massaging his sleeping husband, which caused him to get sleepy from the quietness in the living room, the front door rang a couple of times along with some knocks. Waking Michael up immediately.
"Prince, baby... I gotta get the door. Someone's at the door..." Michael said softly, in his quiet tired voice as he slowly rubs his hands over his husband's shoulders as he carefully lifts up a sleepy Prince.
Prince, slowly stifled a little whine as he began rubbing his right eyelid with his covered hand of his long shirt sleeve. "Is Zendaya here?" That slightly woke Prince up as he follows his husband to the front door as it knocked loudly a couple of times. "Probably." Michael sighed as he looked through the door's peep hole and saw that it was his daughter along with his daughter was his body guard Bill. Michael sighs in relief once he finally quickly unlocked the front door and swung it open with Prince behind him. Both getting ready to cry in relief once they saw their only daughter finally made it back home safely.
Once turning back her head to the swung opened front door to her home with a heartbroken expression on her face and wet cheeks from earlier's breakdown, she finally saw both her parents standing before her with the same broken looks on their faces.
"Daddy...! Papaaa...!" Zendaya wailed out as she let out a struggled sob and threw her arms towards her parents as she REALLY NEEDED them right now.
"Oohh...! Our baby girl...!" Michael whispered with small cry in his throat through his relief as he and Prince finally wrapped their arms around their daughter tight.
They took along, moment to hold each other in their strong arms as they cry together. Then, Prince was the first one to pull apart as he grabbed both of Zendaya's cheeks on her face with his hands and looked over her with his tears. "Oh, my baby girl...! Are... Are you alright? Was there any trouble coming here?" Prince asked, a little worried in his voice as he watches Zendaya quickly give her Papa nods and swallowing as she holds tight onto her Papa's wrists. "Yeah, yeah I'm fine, Papa! Promise! T- Tom drove me back with Bill by our side. We're fine, Papa and daddy...!" Zendaya nods reassuringly to both her parents in their eyes.
"...We're Just glad you're okay, baby..." Michael says softly after wiping away a tear from his right cheek while sniffing. Then, there was a shut of a car door from far behind them on the other side of the house street as all three turned around, alarmed to protect each other quickly. But it was just Capprico parking his dark red Toyota Camry in the view and quickly climbing out of the drivers seat.
"...Papa?! Dad?!" Capprico shouted towards the small group of his family and looked both ways of an empty street before running towards them to also give his family a relieved hug. Prince stood up as he sighed once more after finally seeing his only son arriving. He then let the tears come down again. "Oh my God...! Cappri!" Prince half sobs as he lets go of his husband and daughter as he lifts back up his arms to hug his one and only son.
The two almost knocked each other down with one strong hug. Capprico under his Papa's chin, his wet, teary face covering Prince's long sleeved shirt. Prince laying his chin on top of his crying son's temple of his forehead. "Oh my baby...! You're okay too...!" Prince cried as he runs his hand over the back of Capprico's head and leaving sweet, relieved kisses on his son's temple.
Michael then joined in to hug his only son too and held Capprico tight to his chest. He then let's go Capprico and looked over his shoulder far to his parked car as he sees someone sitting inside. He looks back at Capprico. "Is RaKiem here with you?" Michael asks his son looking back in his eyes. "Yeah, he's inside the car." Capprico answered once looking back behind his left shoulder quickly and looked back at his father. "He wasn't sure if he wanted to come out to see us."
"Well, bring him inside the house. He's family too." Michael said after sniffing and wiping away his wet cheeks. "Okay, I'll meet you guys inside. I'll go grab him." Capprico says lastly after letting go his parents hold and walks back to his car at the side of the street while sniffing and wiping away his tears too. "You can bring in Tom too if you want, Zenny." Michael softly offered his daughter as she gave him a small smile and a side shake of her head.
"No, Tom said that his mum had called him. She wanted him to come home. She also heard what happened. He'll be driving himself back home." Zendaya told her dad once and Michael sighs as he nods and leads both his husband Prince and Zendaya inside. Closing the door, leaving it unlocked for Capprico and RaKiem to enter without any trouble. After all of them gathering up their tears and group hugs, the three sat down in the living room, waiting for Capprico and RaKiem enter the house.
Zendaya layed in close in her Papa's chest, letting Prince hugging her close to his heart on his chest. Michael sat down in one of the recliner chairs close on the right side of the couch. Trying to calm himself down. He rubs his face once more to keep more tears coming.
The front door reopens and it was Capprico and RaKiem entering inside. Prince and Michael turned their heads towards back to the front door. Prince was the first to stand up and rushed over to a silent, teary eyed RaKiem, poor boy looking heartbroken and lost. He then sees Capprico's Papa with his arms opened, ready for another desperate hug. "Oh...! RaKiem, sweetheart...!" Prince half sobbed as he let the boy hug him back. RaKiem pulls back. "I- I'm so sorry, Mr. Nelson-Jackson...!" RaKiem quietly sobbed but Prince stopped him. "No...! No, baby...! It's not your fault, sweetie...! It's not your fault...!" Prince hushed the crying young man as he held RaKiem's cheeks with his hands and pulled the boy back into a hug once more.

After a couple of hours once settling down in the living room in silence, Michael and Prince sitting and hugging close to each other on the couch. Zendaya in the recliner chair that her dad was sitting in earlier, and Capprico and RaKiem on the small, two-people sofa. Holding each other tight.
Zendaya, rubbing her temple as she was tired from crying her eyes out. Still mourning from inside of the loss of her little brother. "Who else are we still waiting on coming here, Daddy?" Zendaya asked softly to Michael. He sighs after finishing sending another text to his sister Janet. "Your aunt Janet, LaToya and your uncles. Janet said she's a minute out. She'll be here soon." Michael answered after laying his phone back on the coffee table and hugged Prince close.
The door bell rang once again.
Prince sat back up to let Michael answer the door. He checked through the peep hole and saw that it was Janet at the door. He quickly opened it and Janet looked up at her brother. The two sharing identical heartbreaking expressions. Michael then let his tears release and a small sob. "Oh, Applehead...!" Janet whisper-cried as she threw her arms around her brother who needed more than a hug. Michael clung onto his sister. Laying his face onto her left shoulder as he cries. "Someone took our baby boy away from us, Dunk...!" Michael gasped as more old tears have cracked from the inside as well. "He- He's GONE, Janet...! I-!" Michael choked on his last words as he let the tears come down on his face and cheeks and lays his head back on Janet's left shoulder as he sobs. "...I know, I know, Michael... I know, shhh sh, sh, sh...!" Janet whispers as she tries her best to calm her brother. Rubbing his back softly as she holds her broken brother who was clinging onto his sister while both crying together.
"I- It's...! It's too soon, Dunk...! He-! He's Gone Too Soon...!" Michael whispered through a small, painful voice in Janet's ear. Janet continued comforting her brother and wiping his tears with her fingers as they calm down before entering the house.
