Nyema

I explained to Daxon and Greyson everything that Ameana and Lilith had told me.

Greyson hugged me "I'm sorry baby girl"

I started crying again "I don't understand why she would go back to him after everything he did. He tried to kill me and my babies. Him and his son tried to take you and Daxon away from me. He took my dad away from me for years! And she just went back to him? She had a kid by him!" I screamed crying.

"Baby we need you to calm down okay?" Daxon said while gently rubbing his mark.

I heard a knock at the door and Montu poked his head in "I heard momma yell-Why is my momma crying?" He looked at Daxon and Grey

I started laughing "Come here" I held my arms up and he hugged me. I hugged him tightly and started crying again.

"What's wrong momma?" He pulled me away and was looking over me.

"I just love you and your sisters so much" I touched his face "I don't know what I would do without you three."

"Well you'll never have to find out" he gave me a gentle smile.

"Do me a favor, because I know your dads won't let me do it"

"Anything"

"Go to your Grandpaw and ask him if he's felt anything with his connection. Then just come tell me"

Daxon shook his head "The kids shouldn't be brought into this Nyema. Well just have Infinity portal us there. As long as you promise to stay on the couch"

"Well shit I'm in it now. What's going on" Montu said crossing his arms.

"Nothing" Daxon said "Go get your sister"

He got up shrugging his shoulders "Y'all acting like I ain't gone find out. Ima god remember. Duh" he rolled his eyes playfully.

"Get out!" I started laughing

We got to my dads house and we ended up in the living room. My dad came out the kitchen in a towel with a big ass bowl of cereal. "Oh shit" he jumped when he seen us.

I looked at him weird "Is this what you do when you're home alone?"

"This my house" he sighed and put his cereal down "let me go change" he jogged upstairs then came back down sitting on the couch "Whats going on?"

"Do you um do you feel anything different between you and my moms connection?"

He looked at me then my mates "Why you ask that?"

I raised my eyebrow at him "I think you know why"

"Who told you?"

"How long have you known" I crossed my arms

"I felt the reconnection around 14 years ago"

"You didn't think to tell me?"

He rolled his eyes "No and I wasn't. You and Daxon weren't speaking. You both couldn't take care of the children. And you both were still grieving over losing Greyson. So no I wasn't going to tell you"

I looked away from him not wanting to think about that time of our life. I was a shit mom. I couldn't even stand to be around my kids. I wasn't stable enough and neither was Daxon. He was drinking all the time and I never left the guest room. Greys parents, Daxon's mom and my dad raised them the first 4 years. We were around for birthdays Christmas and things like that but... the point is I was a shitty mom in the beginning.

"They have a kid together" I said wiping away a tear.

He wiped his face "Yeah I know"

"She looked happy" I said sadly

"Jupiter-"

I shook my head "I'm fine. I just needed to know" I wiped my eyes.

"Look at me" my dad came over to me and grabbed my chin making me look up at him. "Despite that. Your mother loves you. You understand that?"

"Why are you defending her?" I asked slightly angry "she left me-she left us to go be with the man who made all our lives hell!" I yelled

He sighed and looked at me "Jupiter-"

"I can't be around you right now" I stood up grabbing my purse.

"Sit down!" He raised his voice at me. I jumped and looked at him. Then slowly sat back down. "I know you're hurt. I am too" he sighed "I was too, but I need you to listen to me when I say this. That place does things to people you wouldn't begin to even understand" He looked at Greyson then back at me. "She loves you Nyema Jupiter. That's what I need you to focus on right now baby. Okay?"

I nodded my head crying "Okay"

He gave me one of those much needed dad hugs and kissed my head "I love you Jupiter."

Montu

Imara sat up looking at me uncomfortable "I don't like spying on your mom"

"Well you already did it so what's going on"

"Can you tell me what you wanted to talk about"

"Yes now what she say?"

She lifted her hands to my head and I seen everything she saw, and everything her and my grandfather talked about. She pulled away looking at me. "Well?" She grabbed my hand

I shrugged my shoulders "I'm cool"

She looked at me with dad eyes "No you're not"

"I'm serious. I'm cool. I don't know that lady for real. I don't like how she making my momma feel though. Especially being pregnant and especially her going through all this shit to get her out and she down there having the time of her life having kids and shit. She gotta kid here that need her!" I yelled and a mirror crack

Imara jumped then pulled my head in her chest "I'm sorry baby" she ran her fingers through my hair.

"I'll be back"

"Montu-"

I was at Sets temple and I cut my hand letting the blood drip, then Set appeared.

"Let me talk to your daughter" he was about to say something but I stopped him "I'm a god. I'm not my mom and this isn't a request" I glared at him hoping he would say something.

He looked me over then disappeared. My grandma appeared a few seconds later. She had a big smile on her face "Montu" she walked towards me with open arms and I stepped back. Her smile dropped "What's wrong?"

I bit my lip looking at her, trying not to cuss her out "Do you know I remember everything that my mom went through when she was pregnant with us? Everything!" I yelled and the ground shook.

I felt someone grab my hand and seen Imara. "Let's just go home Montu"

I pulled away from her and looked at my grandma "That man that you laid up with that kidnapped my mom when she was pregnant with us, he fucking threw he around like she was trash. He had witches putting spells on her trying to remove her marks. I felt and heard her screams that he caused! That man tried to kill us! Your daughter! And you went off and had a son by him? Laid up in hell with him?" I spat at her "my momma" I shook my head "She needed you! Needs you! And you with the man that ripped my fucking family apart! My dad was in hell because of him." Imara grabbed my hand and I snatched away from her "If you wanted to be with him so bad you should've just told the truth. So that's what you need to do. After that I don't want you anywhere near her and if I do.... I'll kill you" I was glaring at her and breathing heavy. I grabbed Imaras hand and she opened a portal to our room "I mean what I said lady"
