The Wife

Chapter 25: Blame It On Tim

(Again, picking up where we left off last time)

Sorry this is short.

Kelly

I heard the front door slam shut from the upstairs. Beyoncés home, I'm assuming.

I instantly went to go see what the problem was.

"Bey, what the hell is wrong with you?" I ask meeting her near the front door.

"You were right"

"About what?"

"Tim, he's pissed" she said calmly. She shook her shoes off and walked past me going into the living room.

"What happened? What'd he say?" I ask following her.

"He says he feels like he's been kept in the dark about shit, I don't know Kelly, he was saying all types of shit"

"I told you he was gonna he pissed!" I blurted out.

"Yeah I'm aware of that now thanks!"

I sighed heavily.

"Did you get the medicine for Faye?" I ask changing the subject.

"Yea, it's in my bag" she says rubbing her temples.

"Could you give it to her please, I think I'm gonna go give Tim a call" I said. She looked up at me.

"Kels are you sure that's a good idea right now, he's already pissed, Should we really add fuel to the flame"

"You know I wish I could say I cared but I don't, if this co-parent shit is gonna work then he needs to get it through his thick ass skull that shit happens, like damn. It's not like we do this to him all the time! Ugh!"  I can't believe he was pulling this shit. Actually no I can believe he's pulling this shit. Typical!

I immediately pulled out my phone and pulled up Tim's number. He picked up almost instantly.

"Yes?" He answered right off the bat he's got an attitude.

"Do we have an issue Timothy?"

"His full name is Timothy?" Beyoncé ask looking slightly disgusted.

"I don't know Kelly do we? Because it looks like you shutting me out of my daughters life"

"No one is shutting you out of OUR daughters life, she has a double ear infection, she was burning up Tim, I was so scared. I'm sorry I didn't tell you but It's not like the situation didn't get handled" I sat down in the arm chair behind me. "And frankly I think your being over dramatic,also you haven't been over to see Faye in over two weeks now, So don't act like your doing something to see your child when you've yet to actually interact with her"

"I've been busy!" He exclaimed.

"You better watch how you talk to me Tim, I swear to god I'm not even in the mood for dealing with shit and I don't really know why I'm wasting my time explaining myself to you!" I said and hung up. I leaned back in the chair and exhaled heavily.

"Sooo, umm what did you want for dinner?" Beyoncé asks.

"I'm not hungry, but I could go for a drink right now"

"Aren't you still breastfeeding?" Beyoncé asked.

"Yes but I need some liquor in me or I might actually loose my shit"  I said getting up and going into the kitchen. 

"It's 10 in the morning Kelly" Beyoncé said following me.

"Beyoncé I don't care" I said grabbing the box wine that was in the fridge.

"I'm gonna go and give Faye her medicine" she said not wanting to push me further.

Beyoncé

I brought Faith downstairs so I could give her the antibiotics. Which she took like a champ.

"Good job baby!" I squealed using my happy voice.

She laughed lightly raising her hands in the air.

"Did she take it okay?" Kelly asked coming into the living room holding a glass of wine.

"Yep, like the champ she is!" I said towards Faith. I kissed her on the cheek.

"Your so freaking cute" I laughed.

"Yeah she is"

That's when there was a knock at the door. Kelly went over to answer it.

"What?"

Not really a nice greeting but sure. I went over towards the front door and it was Tim.

"Can I come in?" He ask

"I don't know are you here to see our daughter or get in my pants" Kelly replied.

"I'm here to see Faith"

I handed her over to him as he stepped into the house. Kelly rolled her eyes and walked back into the living room.

"Hey baby girl, I missed you" he said.  "Kelly I actually came over to ask you something" he took Faith into the living room. I met up with them and sat on the arm part of the chair.

"I was wondering if it would be okay if I took Faith for a couple of days?"

"No" Kelly said shortly.

"What? Why not? I'm off for a couple of days , and maybe it could give you two a couple of days off"

"I'm her mother, there are no days off"

"It'll only be for two days tops"

Kelly sighed. "No"

"Kelly maybe-"

"I said no"

I looked over at Tim, waiting for his reaction.

"Give me one good reason why not? Do you not trust me alone with her?"

"It's not that-"

"Then what is it?! Your not exactly giving me good enough answer!"

"She's never been away from home for one and two she doesn't feel good, she needs me"

"I know how to take care her Kelly, please I wanna do this, I know I can do this"

I looked over at Kelly now waiting for her to respond. I'm very much not opposed to being baby free for the weekend.

"Do you even own a crib? Do you have diapers? Do you even know how to make a bottle?"

"Yes, yes and...yes, yes I do"

Kelly let out a breath and stood up. " Fine, you can have her over night this weekend but you will have her back, Sunday morning. Let's say 9:30 on the dot, and if something goes wrong and I mean anything you better pick up the phone and call me, do you understand?"

He nodded. "Yes"

"I'll have everything ready for you by tomorrow" Kelly said and walked out of the living room and I heard her going up the stairs.

He sighed. "Is your mommy always that scary" he said laughing to Faith.

Oh, Tim you have no idea.
