Time went by and Zac came home with Messiah. Mia and Melody were helping Danni with some DIY home project she wanted to attempt so she picked them up from school.
Fatima lived in her own thoughts as she moved around the house. She sat on the other side of the home in the lounge with her head laying back in the chair.
When she heard Messiah's voice calling out for her she sat up. Standing to meet him where she heard his voice.
"I'm right here" she says walking down one of the hallways and getting his attention. He seen her and smiled deeply. If it was one thing Messiah loved seeing his mother after a long day of school.
"Hey Bud" she says while the two embrace in a hug.
"Mom I got the highest grade in math class" Messiah tells her
"Really?!" Fatima says excitedly looking down at him
"Yes Mrs. Ford told me! She said she'll have a surprise for me tomorrow!" He says
"I'm so proud of you Messiah, those flash cards weren't that bad after all" Fatima says. She makes him create flash cards for each math topic they learn.
"What do you think Mrs. Ford will surprise you with" Fatima ask
"I don't know I'm scared" he said laughing
"I know it'll be good and then tomorrow when you get done with school, I'll take you to to get something" she says
"Whatever I want?!" He ask looking at Fatima as if he had stars in his eyes
"I think you deserve that" Fatima says smiling
"Can I get an ice cream maker?!" He ask
"If that's what you want" she says and Messiah celebrated before lunging into a tight hug. She was shocked he didn't ask about anything concerning a game or a new game system.
"Mommy is really proud of you Bud, keep up the good work." Fatima says praising her son and he smiled looking at her. He ran off and Fatima followed the hallway down to the kitchen, she wanted some water. When she arrived, she didn't expect Zac to be sitting at the counter.
She grabbed her water bottle and tried to fight the urge of addressing Zac but the feeling was too strong. She turned facing him, fidgeting with the bottle's cap.
"Did you really have to act like that earlier" she says
"Fatima... I don't want to start that with you" he says
"You did all of that in the office and then you literally leave me there." She says " What is wrong with you?" Fatima says
"Fatima you took me to a therapy session that I did not agree on, I been told you I'm not with the therapy shit Then you got me sitting there looking a fool in front that nigga"
"No you got yourself looking like a fool. I know that wasn't the best decision but why did you do that to me, you left me!" Fatima says raising her voice.
"You could've just supported me if you didn't want to participate. Sometimes you show me how selfish you really are." She says
"Here we go with the selfish comment again. Listen since communication is such an issue, imma tell you that I didn't like the shit you pulled earlier. I didn't appreciate being thrown into one of your little sessions that one I didn't even know about." Zac says
" Why don't you want to do therapy? Can you communicate that?!" She says looking at him
"How are you letting a therapist tell you how to live your life and they ain't perfect." He says
