The Assassin's Weakness✔️

22:great grandchild

After school Kai took me straight to his house. On the way, he told me that his Mom and grandmother are already there. We walk in from the garage and I do not notice them in the living room so I turn to the kitchen to fetch a snack before going to have a nap, I am exhausted. School and pregnancy are quite exhausting and I am not even that big, I have been picking up a bit of weight and my mother did suggest going shopping and buying me a new school skirt along with new hoodies and sweatpants but I declined. Did not want to be a burden to them even more than I already am.

I walk into the kitchen and I notice two ladies, one over the stove while the other is sitting on a chair next to the fridge.

"Good day, I am Kamo." They both turn and smile as they greet me.

"You are his baby's mother?" I nod grabbing the crisps out of the cupboard.

"I am cooking rouladen, is there something you wanted?" I shake my head.

"I am really tired do you mind if I go sleep I will see you when I wake up?" They nod and tell me to go and rest. Kai is at the bottom of the stairs when I get out of the kitchen.

"I met your mom and gran. They seem nice, I am going to take a nap. Can you please get me salted crackers and cheese?"

"What kind of cheese?"

"Cheddar please and apple juice." He nods before picking me up. "You don't have to do this."

"Yes, I do." He places me on his bed and he walks to his wardrobe and brings back a grey tee. "You can change and go to sleep comfortably." I smile at the gesture.

"Thank you." He kisses my forehead before leaving the room. I wish I could fast forward to a day where we are okay, a day where I can kiss him and watch him make me feel wanted. I lay in bed, lounging and relaxing, I could not sleep but instead of going downstairs, I lay in bed until I fell asleep.

....

"...coming shut up, you are making me shout and my Kätzchen is sleeping. I said I will be there in thirty, I will." I hear him outside the door. He opens it quietly before heading into his closet. I sit up and wait for him to come out.

"Where are you going?" Unstartled, he looks at me and walks to me and kisses my forehead.

"Pacer needs back-up." I nod as he walks out. "Your things are in the kitchen." He says while he is going down the stairs.

"I am okay with his line of work," I say as I grab his plain boxers so they look like shorts. I walk downstairs and his mother and gran are not in the kitchen. I pour myself a glass of Apple juice before going into the lounge where his family is. I ask if they wanted anything from the kitchen, both decline.

"I am Kaiser's ma, Greta and this is his Umi, Heidi. We have heard so much about you."

"All good things, I hope." They let out a chuckle

"Yes, yes. He mentioned that you two are no longer in relation."

"It is complicated," I say focusing on the hem of his shirt.

"He said it had to do with his job, is that true?" Umi asks

"Yes, I have a hard time adjusting to it."

"I had a difficult time accepting that he is a killer but I understood what lead him to it and so I was able to get over it."

"But Greta, you are his mother, you have to love him, to accept him. I could have left." I wish I had someone holding me, I wish I could feel someone playing with my edges, I wish I could feel someone holding me together.
