The Wife

Chapter 32: Mama

The Next Day, after the awkward family dinner.

Beyoncé P.O.V.

I needed to talk to my mom, I knew I had to. I can't believe that shit she pulled at dinner the other night. I knew her wanting to change was to good to be true. After some convincing I told Solange that I would try to talk it out with her.

I sighed heavily before knocking on the guest bedroom door.

"Come in" I heard and pushed the door open, my mom sat on the edge of the bed playing with her phone

"Hey mom, can we talk?"

She tossed her phone aside, "Sure"

I shut the door behind me and went over to her.

"Beyoncé if this is about the other night at dinner, I'm sorry, What I did was out line and I should've never even took it that far"

My eyes widened. Wow that was fast.

"I accept your apology mom but there's some other stuff we need to talk about too" I sat next to her.

"Is it about your father?"

"Mom what happened?" I ask

"You want the truth" she asked honestly.

"Yes"

"We're just not who we use to be, I don't love him anymore, and I'm pretty sure he feels the same about me. So Why even fight it?"

"You always wanted to fight for him, why stop now?"

"I caught him cheating , I'm not gonna fight for a relationship that should've ended a long time a ago"

Am I shocked? No.

"When I finally decided to leave him I realized I had no one, I had pushed everyone away because of him. He was my world, I pushed away my girls because of him and I wanted to change that, Beyoncé I don't expect you to forgive me now but I'm willing to prove that I have changed. I wanna be apart of your life, I want my daughters back"

"Okay" I nodded. Not really knowing what I should say.

"Okay? That's all you got?" She laughed as she wrapped her arms around me.

"I don't know" I said leaning into her embrace. I missed this. I missed her.

The bedroom door got pushed open and it was solo. "What's going on?"

"Nothing" My mom and I said in unison laughing.

"So does that mean y'all are okay now?" She asked jumping on the bed next to me.

"Yeah I think so" My mom replied.

"Good" Solange said leaning her head on my shoulder.

"Hey, what's going on in here?" Kelly entered the room with Faith strapped to her chest. She stiffened when she saw my mom.

My mom sensed the tension and stood up and walked over to Kelly.

"Kelly, I'm really sorry about the other night, I was outta line, I didn't mean to imply you and Beyoncé aren't good moms, from what I've seen so far your both doing a good job, I can see my little grand-baby is in good hands"
