Joe pace back and forth, "WHERE IS SHE!!!!!!"
Sione, "Calm down. Don't do something you'll regret. Something you'll have to explain to your little girls and ashamed. She's still those children's mother. Calm down. Imagine have to explain how you treat Melissa to Peyton."
Joe, "Don't you dare use my Peyton. She took her! She took my kids! AND SHE'S JUST WILLING TO TAKE EVERYTHING, ME, US, OUR MARRIAGE, LOVE AND COMMITMENT AND THROW IT IN THE FUCKING WATER! I HATE---
Joe pauses before he said the one thing he never wanted to ever feel, think or say.
Joe takes a deep breath, "I hate this is the way she's made me feel." Joe comes back to a rational reality when he hear his kids blare through the door screaming with excitement to see him.
Peyton runs to her dad and he scoops her up in his arms.
Peyton, "Why didn't you come with us?"
Joe, "Mommy wanted time alone with you guys."
Joe didn't dare look at Melissa because his body would have turned back hot with anger and didn't want to disturb his kids.
Peyton, "You owe me shopping!"
Joe, "Okay princess. We'll go shopping and you can get whatever you like."
Peyton, "I want a watch like you."
Joe, "We can make that happen."
Peyton, "Yayyyy!!! Can you sleep in my room tonight?"
Joe, "How about all of you sleep in my room tonight? We can stay up as long as we want and plus dad has a bigger bed."
Camille, "Okay. Where's Yaya?"
Joe, "Yaya had a doctor's appointment."
Camille, "Why aren't you with her uncle Si?"
Sione, "I'm heading there now."
Camille, "Well hurry up."
Sione throws his hands up and heads to the doctors appointment.
Camille hugs and kisses her dad then skips off to Yasmine's room to wait for her.
Riley remained quiet.
Joe, "What's wrong Ri?"
Riley, "Are you and mommy breaking up again?"
Joe, "People have disagreements but just because people have disagreements doesn't mean they can't learn to co-exist."
Riley, "Like co-parenting?"
Joe was stuck and didn't know what to say and Riley puts her head down.
Joe, "Lift your head. Would it be a bad thing?"
Riley, "Yes."
Joe, "Why?"
Riley, "Its embarrassing."
Joe, "How so?"
Riley, "I wanna go to my room." Riley runs off.
2 Hours Later...
Melissa settles JJ and Christopher into a nap after feeding, changing and playing with them in their playroom. She walks out setting up the baby monitors so she could hear and see them.She walk into the living room to see Joe pacing back and forth. She tried to walk by but he grabs her arm.
Joe, "So where did you run off to?"
Melissa, "I didn't run. I had work to do and by the way Anita is back home. Thanks for asking. She was with me. Get your hands off me."
Joe, "I'm holding your arm."
Melissa, "Well I don't---
Before she could answer Joe let's her arm go, pushing her on the couch.
Melissa exhales sharply.
Joe, "Oh did that hurt, baby girl?"
Melissa gets up as Joe turns his back and grabs a glass decor off the table and runs and hits him across the back of the head and upper back with it.
Melissa, "Did that hurt?" Joe grunts in pain. The back of his neck was bleeding due to the glass. "I AM YOUR PREGNANT WIFE AND I'M SICK OF YOUR BULLYING AND YOU GETTING PHYSICAL WITH ME! I PRAY. I PRAY THAT THERE COMES A DAY WHERE I LEAVE AND NEVER EVER COME BACK!"
Joe walks up to Melissa. In the inside she's afraid but on the outside she kept her poker face. Joe snatches both of her arms then presses her up against the nearest pinning her arms above her head.
Joe, "As long as you are mixed don't put your damn hands on me."
Melissa, "Same for you. Get your damn hands off me. I've done nothing to you."
Joe takes his other hand and chokes her, "DID NOTHING! OH YOU DID SOMETHING! CHEATING. TAKING MY KIDS. AND TAKING THEM ALL OVER SO YOU CAN BE WITH SOME RANDOM MAN!"
Melissa, "You're delusional as hell! There is no other man! UNLESS YOU'RE THE ONE THAT'S CHEATING AND NOW YOU CAN'T TAKE THE GUILT SO YOU'RE PENDING IT ALL ON ME!" Joe let's Melissa go and she slaps him in the face.
Melissa, "So fucking stupid!"
Joe gets upset that Melissa strikes him again.
Melissa, "Guess what? When I move into my place I am going to get a man and he's going to eat and screw all my screws loose and do it better than you ever dared. Kiss my ass you stupid lunatic."
Joe, "That's cool. Good luck with that. Screwing another man with my baby inside of you just like a slut. Go ahead and I'll do the same. Find the freakest woman in the world that can take the full dick and deep throat until her nose is touching my lower abdominal."
Melissa rushes and hits Joe again with anger fueling her, "You probably been doing that shit you stupid hoe!"
Melissa goes to her room and locks the door. Joe stalks to the door wiggling the door knob. Melissa had an idea to take things further.
Melissa goes into an app and plays a man's voice and she uses a sex toy to simulate her clit making her moan.
