Leah handed the phone to Jamarcus but placed the phone on speaker."Hey dad," Jamarcus said, sounding happy
"Hey, buddy, happy birthday."
"Thank you, dad. I miss you."
"I miss you more, kiddo; if your mom didn't take you and Mackenzie away from me, I would've done something big for you," He said, being petty.
Leah sighed and took the phone "you are ridiculous."
"And you're a piece of shit," he chuckled.
"Why can't you just talk to your kid without wanting to argue and say some unnecessary shi-"
He sighed and chuckled. "Leah, shut the fuck up; you know damn well what the fuck you doing bitch; you had MY SECOND FUCKING KID, AND I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW IT WAS A GIRL UNTIL YOU CALLED ME DAYS LATER AFTER GIVING BIRTH, YOU SELFISH BITCH"
Lucas gave Leah a hard stare and prepared to open his mouth and cuss Michael out, but Leah stopped him; he mugged her and the phone and put his head down.
"I see nothing about you changed," she sighed.
"Fuck you bitch; once I find out where you are, I'll see that ass is court fucking waste," he said before hanging up.
Leah sighed and threw her forehead in her hands. "Mommy, I'm sorry," Jamarcus said, hugging her.
"It's not your fault, baby; you wanted to talk to him, and you did; your dad can't help but be rude," She said, plucking his bun. Mackenzie came around the corner and started eating the icing on the wall.
"Mar, can you clean off the wall cake, and Lucas, can you prepare Mack for a bath ?"
"Yeah," Lucas said, leaning in for a kiss. Leah moved her head and looked at him; he gave her a confused face and shook his head "we'll talk," Lucas said, picking on Mackenzie, causing her to kick and cry.
Leah cleaned the rest of the mess up; holding back tears, she began humming a random tune to calm herself down; she felt anxious and needed to relax. After she finished cleaning, she walked upstairs and into her bedroom Lucas, Mackenzie, and Jamarcus were all in the bed watching tv Lucas looked at her,
"Okay, kids, time for bed," Lucas said, picking up Mackenzie. "Awwww," Jamarcus cried out.
"I know, I know, but mommy and I need to talk, buddy; come on."
"I SAY GOODNIGHT IN A MINUTE, BABIES" Leah yelled from the bathroom
He guided the kids out of the room. Leah flushed the toilet and washed her hands. She sighed as she looked at herself in the mirror. Leah felt like shit but hasn't been showing it. She keeps her head held high, but Leah is going through a lot. She began running her bath and stripped her clothes
Lucas walked in on her as she was in the mid strip. "They're in their beds. I turned on Mackenzie's nightlight and put on Toy Story for Jamarcus."
"Great, thanks," She said, taking off her jewelry.
He stood behind her naked body and pressed himself against her.
"Lucas, I'm not in the mood for this," She sighed. "I don't want sex; I just want to hold you," he explained.
"Then get your dick off my ass," she chuckled.
"It's not my fault you gotta phatty" He said, smacking her ass, causing her to laugh.
"Get in with me?" She asked, looking at him through the mirror
"You want me to ?" He asked, rocking her back and forth. She nodded, and he started stripping; she walked over to the tub and stopped the water. He got in, and Leah sat in front, pressing her body against his.
"I hate him so much," Leah cried out.
"I hate the way he talks to you, and I wish you'll let me say something to him," he said, running his finger through her hair.
" I don't want him to start the crazy shit all over again."
"Baby, that man been threatening us for a long ass time; the next time I'm going to say something, and you better not stop me," she said, sounding like he ain't wanna hear Leah's bull shit.
"And what exactly is supposed to happen if you say something, Lucas ?" Leah asked, lifting her head and facing him
"I don't know Leah, but I can't sit there and listen to him calling you out your name and talk to you like shit like what the fuck" He explained, talking with his hands.
"THEN I WON'T HAVE YOU AROUND," Leah yelled, getting out of the tub
"Why are you upset? I want to protect you and the kids, Leah the fuck ?" He asked, looking at her, confused
" You don't understand, Lucas," She said dryly, wrapping her towel around her
"THEN HELP ME UNDERSTAND, LEAH, I WANT TO BE HERE FOR YOU. I WANT TO PROTECT YOU, BUT HOW CAN I IF YOU WON'T LET ME?" Lucas yelled, grabbing her before she walked out the door
"STOP FUCKING YELLING AT ME" She screamed and started crying. "I DIDN'T WANT TO CALL HIM. I DID IT FOR JAMARCUS CAUSE HE NEEDED TO TALK TO HIS DAD"
"I DON'T CARE ABOUT HIM TALKING TO-"He stopped his sentence, exhaled and ran his fingers through his hair, and focused on her. "You know what, Leah, you're right" He brushed past her and walked into their bedroom.
Leah stood in the bathroom and started crying; she hates crying cause that's all she used to do when things got tough. She felt like crying made her look weak; she walked out of the room and put lotion on her body. Then, she got dressed and walked into her kid's room, and kissed them on the cheek; they shared a room until Mackenzie was old enough to sleep by herself.
