love overboard

10

Miranda picked up Tuck from the daycare. She went home and she took a shower. She was glad Tucker wasn't home because it was evident that she had sex. She could tell just from the way she walked and her hair was messed up. She cooked them food and while it cooked, she sat down with Tuck and played with the letter blocks. He showed her his favorite toy and she laughed occasionally as they played together.

Her and Tuck looked up as the door opened up. "Daddy." Tuck said running over to the door.

"Hey little man." Tucker said picking him up. Tuck told him about his day and Miranda listened once again. After dinner. She bathed Tuck and then put him to bed.

"Soo?" Tucker asked as he sat on the Bed.

"So what?" Miranda asked arching an eyebrow. She knew what he wanted to know though.

"What are you going to do."

"I already told him about the baby. Of course he wanted to be in his or her life but the thing about it Tucker. I don't want to co-parent with him. I want to parent with him. I want to be in his life with our babie's life. I love him and I can't un do that."

"I hate to say this but you are stupid Miranda. You are going to give up our marriage to be with someone you don't even know well. You have only known him for 3 months and I'm not going to be back here waiting on you when that shit fails because you realize that this is just lust and you don't know him how you are supposed to. Y'all have never even went out together." Tucker said seriously.

"Well Tucker then I must be the biggest fool you ever met and I know the difference between lust and love. I love him and if in the end I end up as a single mother of two children. I wouldn't regret a single thing because I know whole heartedly that I loved him and I want to try to be with him and if it doesn't work out. I'm cool with that because I don't regret acting and moving on how I feel." Miranda said seriously.

"Why don't you go be with him now. " Tucker's voice boomed.

"Because my son is here with you and out of respect for our marriage." Miranda said

"Leave, I don't want you here anymore." Tucker said.

Miranda looked at him with her mouth open. "Are you putting me out. Tucker jones you have lost your mind."

"No I'm asking you to leave."

"If I leave, my son is coming too." Miranda said seriously.

"He is not going anywhere with you. You don't even have a place to go. Crazy part about it is. You don't even know if that man has a 2 bedroom apartment or house. You're so ready to jump in bed with him. Seems to me like you forgot about your own son."

" I did not forget about him Tucker, he is 3 years old. He is going to adjust just fine, eventually it's going be normal. I wasn't going to just move in with him. I have – look just give me some time. I don't want to argue with you. You hitting me with low blows and being angry with me. Is not going to make me change my mind and stay with you. My mind is already made up." Miranda said as she walked over to her dresser. She pulled out jeans and slid them on.

"What are you doing."

"You just told me to leave and I'm not laying in this bed with you, so what do you think I'm doing and my son can stay here with you tonight but make sure he is at the daycare tomorrow please." Miranda said grabbing her purse and keys.

"I'll see you later Tucker…. Tomorrow" Miranda said leaving out of the room. Walking to the door. She was angry with herself. A little bit of what Tucker said was right. She didn't know much about how he operated in real society. She didn't even know if they operated in society good together.
