An Explanation Is Not Owed

an explanation is not owed

The sun was peaking through Aisha and Magnus's bedroom. The light hit Aisha's face waking her up from her slumber, she groans and turns around facing her husband.

"Good morning, sleepyhead," he says smiling with his eyes close, Aisha grunts putting her head in the crook in Magnus's neck.

"We need to get up." Aisha groans and put her hand over Magnus's mouth, " least talking, more sleeping"

Magnus chuckled moving Aisha to the side, he got up and went to Avery and Cairo room. He opens the door to the boy's room to find one of the beds empty.

He walked to the right bed and shook Avery awake, " hey....hey...Avery wakes up!" Avery joint awake looking around the room until he's eyes landed on his father, "What papa?" He says groggily rubbing his eyes and turning to the side, " where's your brother?" Magnus looks at the empty bed then back at him.

Avery mumbled something that Magnus couldn't catch, "What?" He says loud in Avery's ear well leaning his whole body over Avery to hear him clearly, " urg papa get off your way like a torn....." the young man says getting crushed by his father, "I get off when you tell me where your brother is" he says messing with his child's hair, " If it gets you to stop shouting in my ear. His probably at Salina's house" he says moving his head away from his father's touch.

Magnus got off his son and grunted at the new knowledge he just learns about his son whereabouts, " thanks....you can go back to sleep now..." he says almost walking out of the room, " Oh I almost forgot" he did a 360 and walk back to his son bed and punch him in the arm really hard, " OW WHAT WAS THAT FOR?!?!" Avery yelled sitting up on his bed looking at his father well rubbing his hand over his probably bruised arm.

Magnus smiled down at his son, " Oh I just thought you just needed a little something to wake you up..." he then wrapped his arm around Avery giving a bear hug, which caught Avery by surprise. He gave his son a kiss near his hairline, " Happy Birthday Avery" letting go of his son and looking at him.

"Thanks, Papa," he says smiling shyly, Magnus got and patted Avery on his shoulder, "Now that's said and done. Go get your brother before your mother wakes up and wreak havoc on all of us" making his way out the door, "But you said I can go back to sleep"

"I LIED" Avery rolled his eyes and got up to get ready for the day and find his twin brother.

Magnus made his way to Marienna’s bedroom to check in on her, he walks in and sat on the edge of the bed, "Are you up?"

Marienna groans and buries her head in her pillow, "Like mother, like daughter" he whispered smiling, "Come on darling. It time to get up" he says pulling the cover off of her body, " what time is it?" Flipping over her whole body facing the ceiling.

"It's time to get up," he says patting her stomach and getting off the bed, making his way out of the room. She closes her eyes, "I MEAN IT MARCIE, NOW!!!" her eye flung open and she groans really loudly so her dad can hear her distaste.

Magnus walked in the kitchen to find Aisha cooking well the twins Yasmine and Luka sat near the fireplace drawing. He gave both children kisses on the forehead, " Hello my love" she says when he walked towards the kitchen giving her a kiss on the cheek, "Hello lovely"

Aisha starts fixing everybody's plate, she placed the plates at her children usually spots. Magnus came behind her and started to kiss her neck.

"Magnus!" she squeals turning around facing him, "The kids are like five steps away from us." they both look back at the young twins who weren't paying no mind to there parents.

"Yasmine!Luka! Go wash up..." Magnus says watching his wife who was watching the children leave, "...See problem solved" he smiled and went back to attacking her neck with his kisses and bites.

Moaning, "Come on, Magnus the children will be back any minute." Magnus lifts up Aisha onto the table and leans back onto the cold surface. He grunts and moved his mouth towards her lips and his hand went up to her dress well her hands went up to his brown hair.

Neither of them heard the door open or the sound of feet coming towards them.

"OH FOR THE LOVE OF—" Cairo turned around with disgust on his face.

"OH GODS MY EYES! MY EYES!" Avery put his hand over his eyes rubbing them hoping to get the image of his parent out of them.

"EWWWWW" Yasmine and Luka made a scrunch up face with Marienna hand covering their eyes well she shakes her head with a look of disdain.

"You do know we eat here right?" Marienna says watching as her mother pushes away her father well adjusting her dress and getting off the table, " That's wasn't a rhetorical question." Her mother looked down embarrassed well her father looked highly annoyed taking a chair to sit down at the head of the table waiting for his food.

"Yes we know..." she says getting the plate of food and putting it on their plates, " We're sorry it won't happen again," she says sitting to her husband well there children took there sits, "Speak for yourself" Magnus mumbled digging in well his wife glare at him and kicked his leg under the table.

"Ow," he smiled towards her when she rolled her eyes and shook her head, "Mommy why was daddy up the top of you making weird noises," Luka says both twins looking at their mother with curiously.

Aisha stopped chewing her food and look towards them, "oh...umm....well....uhh...oh what's that I think the baby crying I'm just gonna go get...honey" she says looking toward her husband who chocked on his scrambled eggs well she getting up and going to her and Magnus's room.

Cairo and Marienna  looked the way their mother left with an amused expression, well Avery and the twins looked at their father confused, "We have another sibling" Avery lean forward his twin brother and his young sister whispering looking at them confused.

Cairo looked at his brother with an eye roll going back to eating well Marienna closed her eyes putting her pointing finger and middle finger together to rubbing her temple, and Magnus sigh closing his eyes, " No Avery we don't have another child....unless.....your mother is pregnant" he says smiling at the last part.

"I'M NOT SO GET THAT SMILE OFF YOUR FACE," she says in the bedroom, Avery looked shook at his mother responded.

Magnus deadpanned grumble going back to his breakfast, soon enough Aisha emerges from the bedroom going back to her seat next to her husband, "Sorry I must have been the neighbors baby" she says smiling and going back to her food.

"Mr. and Mrs. Dasley don't have a baby," Marienna says looking at her mother with her eyebrow raised, "shut up and eat your breakfast," she says looking at her daughter with a blank expression.

Marienna rolling her eyes went back to eating, "You still didn't answer our question mama" Luka says looking at his mother with strawberry jam in the corner of his mouth. Aisha grabs a cloth from her pocket and wipes the corner of his mouth.

Sighing, "Well when two people love each other dearly they....hmmm they show each other affection with.....touch?" looking at her husband with an eyebrow raised.

"Yea...Like mommy said now eat your breakfast" Aisha deadpanned look at her husband response, "On a different note are you guys excited for the blue moon festival" she looks toward her boys with a big smile, "Since it's also your 18th birthday I hope to talk to you discuss somethings with you"  Magnus says looking at  Avery pointedly.

Before Avery could say a word, "What about me? It's my birthday to father." Cairo looked at his father with an eyebrow raised, "I know my son it just Avery, and I have important things to talk about." Giving him small smile.

Cairo looked between his twin and his father, he places down his fork and scratches the side of his face, " Of course..." folding his arms and nodding his head slowly, " take the noble brother to discuss how to lead a pack well your firstborn do nothing" Avery mumbles picking up his fork and moving his food around.

"Cairo that's not how it—" Avery starts, "Kai that's not nice apologies to your brother now" Magnus nods agreeing well Cairo looks at his mother disapproving face waiting for him to apologize, " Mama he doesn't have to apologize-" he tried to talk.

"No, your mother right. What Cairo said was unnecessary. Apologize. " he says looking at his oldest son pointedly, " He just said I didn't need to apologize..." looking at his parents with a sarcastic smile.

Both parents glared at their oldest, Magnus was going to say something before there was a knock, " I get it" Avery got up quickly and went to the door, Aisha and Magnus looked at their son.

"I don't care what he says you gonna apologize to him," Magnus whispered

"That's no way to treat family Kai. You know you hurt his feelings-" she starts, "His feelings? No disrespect "mom" but what do you know about me or my brother...." Cairo laugh at that, Aisha took back well Magnus glares at his son, "That's enough Cairo. You apologize right now!"

Cairo stares at his father with anger, he nods his head, "I'm sorry...." he looked down at his plate, " that you think that fool you called a son who is too stupid and too sensitive is worthy to lead a pack...." looking at his dad, he turns his attention to Aisha, "I'm sorry....that you think just because you raise us since we're 10 means that you our birth mother...Your not!" he shouts standing up looking at Aisha with hatred.

Magnus got up from his seat almost knocking it over about to wring his son neck until Aisha put a hand on his arm bringing him back down to his seat.

She got up off her seat with her head high and her eyes teary. Before she can say anything Avery tackled his brother the ground, both throwing punches at each other.

Aisha told Marcella to take the twins to their rooms, before trying to help her husband get Avery off Cairo. After a while Magnus pulled Avery off of him putting distance between Cairo and Avery, standing in the middle of them, "You are so childish Kai how dare you! Say something like that to our mother! The only women who could ever love us!"

Cairo only glared breathing heavily at his brother, " Such a mommy's boy and father think your fit to lead. Pathetic!" blood dripping down his nose from his brother's right hook. Avery with a busted lip begins to speak again, "You such arrogant ass...".

Glaring at his brother Cairo ran around his mother just to be thrown onto the table by her. Sliding off he moved to do it again until he saw her "Don't even think about it" look with her hand raise.

"Just for the record BIG brother. Father and I weren't going to discuss we were going to collect the dagger I got you for your birthday..." Avery says grabbing the dagger from his pouch and slamming it on the table near his brother.

Cairo looked at his parents then at Avery before picking up the dagger and looking at it closely, the design on the front was unique when he flips it to the back it was an engraved "afdal 'asdiqayiyun , 'akhia almuntasir" (My best friend, my victorious brother).

He looked at it for a while eyes watering sniffing, "Father said ever leader needs a dagger to show their sacrifice and accomplishment" Cairo looked at his brother who walked out of the house to get some air, Magnus followed after his son to comfort him.

"Come on my dear let's clean up those cuts..." Aisha says leading her oldest towards her and Magnus's room, she sat him on the bed before going to the bucket full of water next to the fireplace to clean his wounds.

Well, Aisha dab the wet cloth on her son wounds focusing, Kai sat his knife beside him and started looking at his mother closely, "I'm sorry mother" he said ashamed his eyes full of tears ready to fall, " I know bebè I know you didn't mean what you said. It hurt but I know you didn't mean it." She says dabbing the wet cloth on his dry blood under his nose.

"But I shouldn't have said it. I was being unreasonable like always" he whispered the last part looking down, Aisha grabs his chin gently pulling it up to look her in the eye, "Yeah you were kinda a dick sweetie," she nods looking at him with a serious face before they both laugh at each other.

"Thanks, mom. You always know what to say" he says smiling at his mom, " I do what I can," she says rubbing little mud on his left cheek was a cut was.

She patted his legged, " Now keep that on for there about four hours." Cairo nodded and got up going towards the door, "What do you think your going young man?" Aisha says looking at him with a raised eyebrow.

"I was going to find Avery and papa to apologize, " he says stopping in his track looking at his mother with a confused look, "You almost forgot your dagger," she says walking towards him with his dagger, she kissed his right cheek and ruffled his hair, " Be safe my son"

"I'm always am" he gave his mom that same goofy smile that his father has, she shook her head walking him toward the door seeing him off. He turns around waving goodbye before running toward the woods to find his father and brother.

She smiled at him and until she felt uneasiness, she looked around and didn't see anyone looking at her or paying her mind so closed the door to her house. Not notice the man from the woods watching her.

Unfriendly reminder that Breonna Taylor was killed three whole months ago, and they're only now deciding to fire one of the three criminals. This is not justice.
