I listened to my kids hum this Lil Baby song that the both of them were so crazy about. Danny produced it and he's been forcing the twins to love it ever since. Speaking of which, all three of us were working diligently together to create this large, handmade birthday card for him. His birthday is coming up soon and the twins decided they wanted to make this special card for him. I thought it was the absolutely sweetest idea personally, so you know I had to help them out. There was paint, markers, glitter, scissors, and other crafty items scattered all over the wooden floors in their playroom. The room was in complete shambles, but I think the outcome would weigh out to be all worth it in the end. I've been waiting for the right time to tell them about Chris and I's little plans for this weekend and thought it might as well be right now.

"So can I talk to you guys about something important to me," I began.

"Of course you can mom," Danielle smiled. She looked so adorable in her two ponytails that Asia did for her. She had butterflies running down on each side along with two small sparkly bows on the ends. She hasn't stopped looking at herself in the mirror since she got it done.

"Thank you Dani," I chuckled kissing her cheek. "Do you all remember when I told you one day that mommy and daddy would eventually find love with someone else after we separate?"
They both nodded their heads. "Okay good. Well mommy has a found a really nice friend that she loves being around all the time. He's a really sweet guy and he makes me so happy. Do you guys remember Mr. Chris?"

"Yessss the pretty one," Danielle exclaimed batting her lashes excitedly making me laugh. When I introduced him to the twins he made Danielle the shyest I've ever seen her.

"Yes Dani the pretty one."

"Is he your boyfriend," Ryan asked finally speaking up.

"No, he's not my boyfriend, but he probably will be some day."

"Do you love him?"

I hesitated on answering. I like to be honest with my children, but given the situation I wasn't sure on how to go about approaching it. I just wanted to be transparent as I could with what was going on. Even though I still haven't made it known to Chris I may as well admit it to someone.

"Yes I do love him."

"More than dad," Ryan prodded even more.

"It's a different love. I will love your dad forever. I think the love I have for Chris comes from a separate place. Just like the love I have for you and your sister is different than anyone else's."

"Is he mean? Daddy is the nicest man in the whole wide world," Ryan said. He was such a daddy's boy I knew he would probably the one that needed the most convincing.

"He's super nice. How about you see for yourself? We're going to Pacific Park and we want you guys to come. He's bringing his daughter."

"He has a daughter," Danielle asked excitedly. She's always wanted a sister.

"Yup he does. She even has a huuuugee LOL Dolls collection," I outstretched my arms in an exaggerative manner. Dani's eyes grew as big as saucers because this child was obsessed with those little expensive ass dolls.

"Ugh, all girly things. Can't I just stay with Daddy," Ryan whined.

"You could, but I really want you to come. I don't want to win a toy without you being there."

"You gotta come RyRy. Besides, daddy's going to be busy with Mimi," Danielle told him. She wanted her twin to come along just as badly as I did.

"Who is Mimi," I asked pretty much already knowing the answer.

"Daddy's girlfriend. We call her Mimi." I frowned at her for a minute.

"Oh, I see. I didn't know you knew Daddy's girlfriend."

"She use to be daddy's friend and she would take me to get my nails done sometimes," she exclaimed.

"Yeah, she played games with us in the pool and we would always get Wendy's," Ryan jumped around. Just speaking on her made them excited. I had to play it off with a laugh, but inside I was seething. My children been familiar with this bitch for some time now and Danny was hounding me down about making the decision to bring Chris into the picture. Apparently, they knew about her before I even knew Chris. He real deal had that bitch around my children while we were married. It never fails, this man could even hurt me after an entire divorce. How could he be okay with doing that? Was there any respect for me in that marriage at all? They went on with the many stories shocking me all the while. They've been having their own family moments while I was in the dark. The disrespect will never not hurt.

Omniscient
Ammika read the text from Chris telling her he was free to meet her and Aeko around 2:00 on tomorrow. She responded to him that, that would be fine and they would see him on tomorrow. He replied immediately with a "see you then" and she couldn't help to feel a small wave of excitement rush over her at the thought of seeing him again. Although it's been many years since she last saw Chris she honestly can say she wasn't too let down with this rekindling and now that he knows Aeko is their son she was even more thrilled with the fact he's going to be in her life forever. She was of course still happy with the decision of choosing Vincent and she did love him, but it would always be something about Chris that sparked a different emotion in her. It was the very reason why she couldn't resist him when her and Vincent first got together. She really did have to force herself to leave him alone because she didn't want to mess up a good thing with Vince. Vincent has always loved Ammika correctly, but for her he just would never be Chris.
"Hey babe," Vincent came in smiling with flowers in his hands. Ammika smiled widely accepting them and planting a kiss on his lips.
"Thank you baby. They're beautiful. Sooo sweet," she kissed him again before finding a vase to place them in.
"Anything for you. Where's my boy," he asked placing his keys on the counter.
"He's upstairs sleeping, please don't wake him up just yet," Ammika begged.
"I won't," he replied heading upstairs. Ammika knew that Vincent loved her son genuinely. He treated Aeko just as if he and Ammika really did produce him. Another reason why Ammika knew she could never leave a man like Vincent. He stuck around even after knowing that Aeko was not his. It was obvious Ammika was full blown cheating on Vince during that time, but he never stopped loving her and accepted her son. She could never hurt him again. She didn't even deserve him and she knew it. Now she was feeling even more guilty from having these thoughts about Chris. She just couldn't help it though. Chris always found a way to bring out a side to Ammika that she never knew was there. Being with him always made her feel so alive and wanted. Vincent was amazing, but Chris was out of this world. There was no comparison although she know she needed to stop comparing in the first place especially since Chris seems to really fancy that Raya girl. Ammika couldn't believe that he even allowed her to speak to the mother of his child that way. She wished she never even bought any of her products seeing what type of woman she really was. In fact, she probably would throw it all away tonight. If she thought she was going to be around Aeko, she obviously had another thing coming. Ammika pondered on a way to cause havoc towards their little relationship. She know she'll never get Chris back, but she also knew she couldn't be around to see him be so happy with another woman.

These females always be so pressed about Raya. Can't my Queen be happy in peace? 🙄
Anyways, we're back baby. Hope you all enjoy these next few chapters. Thanks for the love always my babies!! 💕💕💕
