Belonging To Them * EDITED *

Chapter 45

JORDEN POV (ONE WEEK LATER)

I'm back in town but not at home. They changed the locks, so everytime I come to get the kids I have to knock on the door of my own house. The place I STILL call home.

When I got back it hurt to come home and see all my stuff out front. They didn't want to talk no matter how hard I knocked and banged on the door. Even after the cops came. And all I could do was take my stuff and stay with Kiari and them until I got my own apartment. Nothing much just a two bedroom for me and when the kids come.

Even though it's been a week I've had the kids twice and I'm about to have them again today. I always make sure to stay involved with them but also to stay around Megan and Normani. To keep our relationship close, even though they barely talk to me.

I walk up to the front door slowly knocking on it ready to first see my babies and my girls and secondly try to get back. Get back to what we used to be.

"Daddy's here!" I hear Megan yell from inside

The door opens and it's Megan with her pouch on display in the crop top and leggings she has on. Her hair is in two ponytails making me smile.

"Hey Megan"
"Hey Jorden"

"How are you?"
"Good."
"The baby?"

She smiles and rubs her little pouch
"Good. He always wants cookies and cream ice cream" she says laughing

"Haha. You already saying it's a boy.... You remember when you had Jord. You always wanted that ice cream too"

"Yeah. Yeah.... I used to make you get up and run and get it now I got Normani doing it....."

And just like that it gets quiet the unsettling awkwardness that was placed upon us.

Screams breaks the silence.

"Daddy!!!!" Both Jordan and Junior scream running past Megan and into my arms.

I pick them both up hugging them and swinging them around. I put them back down telling me to get into the car, and they both yell okay and run to my car getting in.

When I turn around Normani is standing next to Megan holding two overnight bags for the kids.

"Hey Normani"
"Hey Jorden, how are you?"

"I'm alright... ya know" I say shrugging my shoulders. Quietness settles between us as we try to avoid each other eyes.

".... Mmhm h-here's their bags. Everything they need of course and - and I know you got them toothbrushes and stuff so I didn't pack that"

"Yeah... I have that.... Y'all look good.... Y'all taking care of each other?" I say nervously still trying to make some form of conversation

" Yes" The both say at the same time. I nod my head seeing that the conversation is dead so I say my good byes and turn to walk to my car.

"Drive safely!! And call us if anything!" They both scream at the same time then giggle together seeing that they said it at the same time.

I turn around to face them giving them a head nod and a smile. Feeling a little special that the love is still there.

TWO DAYS LATER

"Daddy..." I hear causing me to roll over in my bed and face a tired teary eyed Jordan.

"Hey baby girl.. what's wrong?" I ask picking her up and putting her in the bed with me.

She just lays her head on my chest sniffling. "Baby girl... tell me what's wrong. You know you can tell me anything, right?"
