As I Am (Part 2 of There You'll Be)

Forget

(Evelyn)

My blood was boiling. Zak wanted to commit. Just never to me. He liked the hot piece of ass, the flavor of the week. Holly?!

Grr she tried to ruin our marriage 2 times prior with just a few texts and a sleepover, now my kids would be having a new step siblings from her and their Dad.
*************************
I was in the kitchen cutting up vegetables and things to prep our fridge for the week since the kids just got home.

"Mommy, did you know that Holly & Daddy are gonna have a baby?" Emery asked me.

"I sure did baby. It's all over in the news." I told her.

She hopped up in a chair at the kitchen island and watched me with sad eyes. I glanced up and put the knife down.

"What's wrong baby?" I asked her.

Her eyes welled up with tears.

"Does that mean that Daddy will have a new family and forget about me and Gray and Ollie and Sagey? Like he forgot about you?"

I walked over to her and wrapped my arms around her.

"No baby. Daddy just can't forget you guys. You're his babies. He just will have a new baby with Holly, like Mommy has Dallas with Jay. He won't forget about you."
*************************
Jay brought the Grayson and Oliver back from baseball practice and walked into the kitchen.

"Hi Buddy." He said scooping up Dallas from his playpen. "And hello Mama." He said giving me a kiss.

"Well, the kids know now about their stepsibling to be." I told him.

"So? That's what Dallas is? They don't seem to mind?" He said, not seeing the problem.

"True but I didn't just up and leave them to run off and have him with you. There's a difference."

"What did they say to you?" Jay asked as he fed Dallas a bottle.

"Emery said that she worries that Daddy would get s new family and forget about her and her siblings. She knows Zak better than we think. She knows what a shitty Dad he is and she's expecting him to just start over and forget about her." I said.

I was getting visibly upset and a tear ran down my face.

"Hey. No matter what happens, wether he moves on or not, the kids still have an amazing and dedicated Mama. And I don't mind taking Zaks spot as their Daddy." He told me as he held me close.

"I know. And Jay? Thank you. Thank you for all the years I was with Z and you still took all my kids under your wing. And thank you for this little dude too." I said kissing our sweet boy.
