Maria's POV (pic of her in the multimedia)

-flashback to the argument her and Rico had 6 years ago-

"You shouldn't have kept this away from me Maria!" Rico shouted in my face.

"Rico I'm warning you get the fuck out of my face now!! You think it was easy for me to keep this from you?! It was eating me away for all these months. I've been dealing with this by my fucking self. While you were God knows where. I've raised these kids by my fucking self. You bury your head in the sand and you think buying them gifts will make them forgive you all the games you've missed or all the award ceremonies you've forgotten about"

Rico started getting angry I could see it in his face but he had to hear that.

"That doesn't give you the right to keep this away from me!"

"You wasn't here!! I didn't want you to mourn something that you didn't even know existed. It was too late by the time you got back I had a miscarriage. I didn't want to burden-"

"FUCK THAT NAOMI YOU SHOULD'VE TOLD ME!" Now I know he's pissed cah he called me by my middle name. He's only done that once before this and it didn't end well at all.

"I had to find out this shit from fucking Mama R. You know how embarrassing that is Maria. My mother in law told me that my wife was pregnant and had a miscarriage. You think I'm gonna be ok with you keeping that from me?!"

I started to get agitated and feeling dizzy. I sat on the chair and held my head in my hands

"If you was around more then you would've noticed, you would've noticed my mood swings and my weight gain, you're never here so it's not my fault!" I said lowly

"If I didn't work we wouldn't be living in this 300 acres estate. You don't make as much money as me Naomi!"

I glared at him.

"Get out! GET THE FUCK OUT OF THIS HOUSE!! I pay bills too bitch don't you dare say that to me. I make my money legally and I make just as much as you. Get out of my house and don't come back" I pushed him

"The thing with you is that you love playing the victim"

"I'm not playing the victim, I didn't want you to feel broken like I did. It was easier for me to suffer by myself than have you suffering too. I was thinking of you. That's all I ever stay doing!"

"Man fuck that, I can't deal with you right now im out"

He grabbed his keys and stormed out the house. I sat on the sofa feeling defeated.

-end of flashback-

I wiped the tears that dared to fall and I sighed. Someone knocked on my door and the twins and Caleb emerged from behind it with gifts and food.

Caleb placed the gifts infront of me and kissed my tears away.
"Love you mama" he hugged me and walked out.

The twins sat on the love seats and looked at me.

"So you gonna tell us why pops has been gone for the last 5 months ma?" They said at the same time.

"We are going through some things right now that's all" I said while forcing a smile. Malcolm and RJ just looked at me like they knew I was lying. I sighed checked my phone I've just left my phone recently.

"Mama, what happened?"

"He fucked up"

"How and when?"

"Y'all have another brother and sister and he cheated 6 years ago, shit always comes up when it comes to him" I mumbled the last bit.

"We'll be back" I could see twins was angry and I didn't have the chance to chase after them because they left already.

I replied to all messages apart from samira and rico's ones.

I placed my phone back in my dresser and went to start dinner.

Malcolm's POV

we hoped out of my escalade and went straight into the trap. We didn't have time for games. Especially when it comes to someone hurting mama. We went straight to his office and kicked the door open.

"What the fuck?" Dad shouted.

"You stepped out on moms fo'real? You being fucking serious. After all the shit she's done for you and us you go and get another female pregnant!" Me and twin said in sync (we've been doing that a lot lately)

Dad looked at us shocked and you could see he regretted his actions.

"Man, I ain't gotta explain myself to y'all. I'm yo pops I ain't gotta do shit. Don't come in here shouting like you own shit"

Anger washed over me and I charged at him but twin held me back.

"You ain't been our pops. Yo ass ain't even been to any of our games or anything. You put EVERYTHING before us. Fuck you. You ain't my pops believe that"

I pushed twin off me and stormed out of the trap and hopped into my car angry as fuck. My phone was ringing and I answered when I recognised the ringtone

"Hey Mal"
"Wassup" I said dryly
"What happened?"
"Nothing man I'm coo"
"Boy, quit tryna lie and tell me what happened. You sound angry what's wrong?"
"He just always has to fuck up everything" I shouted
"Who?"
"Rico"
"Y'all are twins you always ar-"
"Naa my dad Mimi"
"Ohh, what happened?"
I sighed deeply and tried to calm down
"He stepped out on mum and got the broad pregnant"
"Damn, baby don't get heated he's your dad-"
"NO! He's everything but that. Mimi he ain't never been to any of my games not even when I was little. It's always been ma and yo moms never him!"
"I kno, babe you need to calm down, where you at?"
"I'm at the trap on 23rd"
She sighed and I heard shuffling
"I'm on my way stay there"

She cut the call and I closed my eyes and tried calming down
