What Brought Us Together

Heavenly Matrimony

It was 6 in the morning and someone was banging on Exodus door. He made sure that Mercury was still asleep before going to his door and looking through his peep hole. He took a deep breath before unlocking the door and opening it. Elias walked in and looked around his condo.

The first thing that comes out of his mouth is "Bring me my kids since you have such a problem watching them." Elias snapped. Exodus closed his door and then checks on the kids to make sure that they are still asleep in his bed. He ends up tripping on his pallet that he slept on and it made a small thud but the kids didn't even budge.

Eden couldn't help himself as he thought that he was telling Elias about himself at the Bachelor turn up. He pulled his aside when they had a moment alone and Elias shut him down. Eden left the conversation thrown off and Elias now giving his brother the side eye for the rest of the night. Meanwhile, East and the rest of the groom party was having the time of their life at the strip club.

He walked back out to the living room and was met with his brother presence again. "First off, shut the hell up Elias because caring for my nieces and nephews aren't a problem. As of lately, my problem has been with you. Dropping them off like trash in the morning and not leaving no explanation. In the past four days you randomly kept dropping them off at my house in the morning like I don't got shit to do!" His attitude got the best of him and Elias face contorts to anger.

"You been a full time parent for one fucking day and all of a sudden I owe you an explanation? You told me that whenever I need you or any help with the kids, I can come to you and I did. So what's the problem now?" Elias said while raising a brow.

"You're choosing to be ignorant and it's too early for that. The kids are asleep and my house is quiet so I advise you to come correct in my house or get out and return to where you came from," He said and Elias reached for Mercury's blanket on the end of the sofa but Exodus grabbed it first. "And besides, I don't tolerate liars."

"But you tolerated Zola's drug addict ass for months. Try again." Elias snarled and Exodus stepped back, clearly surprised.

He nods his head in an upset manner. "You taintin' the energy in my house. So I'm gonna ask you to leave my house. Me and the kids will meet you at the church." He said and Elias rolled his eyes and clenched his jaw.

"Exodus give me my fucking kids! They aren't yours and you ain't they damn daddy." He clenched his jaw harder and that didn't move Exodus at all.

"Why? All you gonna do is take the kids to Mama and Daddy house and dump your kids on them just like you did me. And I bet you gonna leave them there and let Mama and Daddy figure it out like I had to, right?" He said sarcastically.

Elias tried to push past him but Exodus blocked it. "What the hell is wrong Junior?" Elias face didn't soften but he did unclenched his jaw.

He licked his lips and sighed heavily. "Camilla wants a divorce and she wants full custody of the kids. They're my kids too so I figured she can't take the kids from me if she doesn't see them. She didn't see them all week. The kids been back and forth between your house and East's house but I wanted to get her alone so we can talk shit out because I don't want a divorce." He explained and Exodus eyes grew wide.

"Junior what the fuck is wrong with you?! You scaring her by taking the kids elsewhere isn't going to win her back. Did she even know that me and East had the kids back and forth?" He then asks and Elias shook his head no.
