“Jax!”

“It was an accident!”

“I know,” I said. “It’s okay. Why don’t you go upstairs with Daddy and Mom? I think they have something special for you to do.”

“I want to stay here,” he whined.

I sighed. I knew this was coming.

“I’ll be right back,” I said to my friends. I came back down with Daddy.

Mari, Simone, and Lena were wiping up the mess.

“Thanks so much for cleaning up,” I said.

“That’s what you call keepers,” Daddy said.

Everyone smiled.

“After all that hard work, are you girls ready for pizza?”

“Yes,” we said together.

“Great, I’ll place the order. Come upstairs, Jax. You, Mom, and I will have our own sleepover. We have your Black Panther action figures ready in your room.”

“Wakanda forever!” he screamed. “But it’s still no fair that Jada gets to have all the friend fun.”

Little brothers.

“Who wants to have ice cream before the pizza?” I asked.

“Now you’re talking,” Simone said, raising her hand.

“Grab two plastic bags. One little and one big. I’ll get the ice, salt, and half-and-half.”

Simone frowned. “Where’s the ice cream?”

“We’re going to make it, silly,” Mari said, smiling.

Simone looked at Lena, who gazed at the floor.

“Everything tonight isn’t going to be a science project, is it? Can’t we just eat the ice cream without learning about it?” Simone asked.

I felt that bird-trying-to-escape flutter in my stomach again. Why didn’t Simone give science a chance? I looked at Lena. She didn’t complain, but she wasn’t smiling, either. Mari looked at my face and jumped right in.
