Zac&fatima unseen

Back to work

It's been two weeks since Zac left and Fatima has been emotional drained. She's doing her best to go on with her day to day, but Zac not being there is really affecting her.
Jace: tima when daddy coming home?
Fatima attempted to wipe her tear before it fell down her cheek. Fatima: daddies coming to take you and Ava to the park remember. ?
Jace: I know, but is he sleeping home with us or is it another mommy and kid sleepover?
Fatima: Jace hurry and brush your teeth daddy will be here soon.
Fatima brushed the conversation off for now. They have a scheduled therapy session tomorrow but she's unsure if they'll keep it. Zac didn't show up last week for there session. When she asked him, he was still in his feelings and said what's the point. Before she could finish packing Ava's diaper bag there was a knock at the door.
Fatima looked out the peep hole and saw it was Zac, she attempted to fix her messy bun, and milk stained shirt. She took a deep breath and opened the door.
Fatima: hey
Zac: hey, the kids ready?
Fatima: yeah Jace is brushing his teeth and I'm just finishing packing Ava's bag, come in.
Zac looked at the mother of his children with her biker shorts on and tank top and thought to himself how beautiful she was. He's still hurt with where they are, but is trying to deal with his anger.
Fatima: Sorry about the house I've been busy and you know how Jace is with his toys.
Zac: you don't have to apologize.
They both stood there awkwardly until eventual Fatima peeled off to finish packing.
Jace: Daddy daddy!!!!
Zac: hey little man, how are you
Jace: I'm good daddy taking care of Tima and my sister like you told me.
Fatima wipes the tears from her eyes hearing that.
Zac: I knew you would son, I'm proud of you. Go get your shoes on so we can go have some fun.
Fatima: I packed 2 bottles for Ava, y'all not going to be long, right ? Do you think you need more bottles?
Zac: naw, we should be good.
Fatima: ummm..... tomorrow we still have a therapy session, we're you still going??
Zac: I don't know Fatima.
Fatima: ok..... ummm. I guess I'll just see you when you drop the kids off . Fatima tried to rush off so that Zac couldn't see her crying.
Zac: what you walking away for? Is it something else you wanted to say?
Fatima with her back facing Zac , simply replied: no.
Zac: then why won't you look at me?
Jace: I'm ready daddy let's go!
Zac: ok buddy kiss Tima bye and let's go.
Jace: bye Tima
Fatima: love you have fun with daddy
Zac: do you love daddy?
Fatima took a deep breath and wiped her eyes.
Zac: it's a simple question
Fatima: here, don't forget her diaper bag.
Zac: hun still running smh. I'll see you in a few hours.
Fatima: Zac I'm not running. Your asking questions when you already know the answers. It's been two weeks and other than you checking on the kids, we haven't discussed us. Yet you ask a question like that. Prior to today you haven't said two words to me and us.
Zac: Fatima you made it clear that it wasn't No us.
Fatima: have fun with the kids Zac, please don't bring them home too late. Tomorrow's my first day back to work and we have a early day.
Zac: So you're going back to work without us talking about it.?
Fatima: Zac I been talking about it, you knew I was going back.
Zac: No I knew you wanted to go back, but never came to a conclusion, so who's keeping Ava?
Fatima: I found a daycare a few blocks from here, it's really great.
Zac: You looked at daycares without me?
Fatima: Zac you knew I was serious about going back to work.!
Zac: Jace let's go.
Fatima: Zac......
Fatima wasn't intentionally trying not to involve Zac in the process, but truth be told he's not in the house. Fatima has to start making decisions for her and the kids. She knows that these decisions will hurt Zac but she also wants to honor her own feelings.

The next morning Fatima was up and dressed. Her clothes are a little more snug than usual so she's a little self conscious about it. She has Jace and Ava fully dressed. Jace is having pancakes while Fatima packs Ava's bag.
Fatima: bottles, binky, diapers, powder....... What am I missing???
Fatima: Jace finish up we leaving in 15 minutes for school.
Jace: Tima is daddy picking me up?
Fatima: Jace your mommy is picking you up and on Sunday daddy will pick you up from mommy house and bring you back home. What snack today?
Jace: GOLDFISH!!!!!!!
Fatima: you got it now finish your pancakes and drink your orange juice.
Fifteen minutes later they were out the door. Fatima dropped Ava off first since the daycare is a few blocks away then she drops Jace off at school and heads to work.
Andi: Welcome back Fatima! How are you ?
Fatima: I'm good, happy to be back!
Andi: how's baby girl
Fatima: she's great I'm so in love
Andi: I bet I don't know how you left her to come to work
Fatima: it wasn't without struggle. But I'm only here a half a day, I have a appointment this afternoon.
Andi: we'll I'm so happy I have my right hand back.
Let me know if you need anything
Fatima: that's what I'm supposed to say to you, lol

Fatima was bent over fumbling through files when Paul walked up admiring the view. However he wasn't the only one with a view. Zac decided to surprise Fatima and pick her up and take her to therapy to show he's committed to their relationship.  As he walks up he sees Paul staring at Fatima's ass while she's bent over the desk.
Zac: see something you like?
Both Paul and Fatima turned around.
Fatima: Zac what are you doing here?
Paul: Fatima I'm sorry I came to check up on you.
Zac: check up on her, what you mean by that?
Fatima: Paul I'm fine, but do you mind I need to talk to him.
Paul: of course, I'm sorry for intruding I'll call you later.
Zac: Aye yo my man, she good she don't need you checking on her or checking her out!
Paul shook her head with a smirk on his face and walked away.
Zac walked in Fatima's office and slammed the door
Zac was clearly upset and he lost it.

Zac: yo let me ask you something? You fucking this nigga?
Fatima: No!
Zac: then why the fuck he always here? Why the fuck you act like your clueless to him hitting on you?
Fatima: Zac I'm here working I didn't even know he was standing at my door!
Zac: I'm so fucking stupid man, here I am coming up here to show you support with your first day back to work and tell you I was going to therapy session. I walk up your ass in the air and playboy drooling over you. What the fuck and I supposed to think???
Fatima: babe can you calm down I'm at work, please
Zac: yeah..yeah I will, I'm out before I say some shit i can't take back.
Whispering what does that mean, she asked Zac.
Zac flew open the door and left. Fatima closed her door and began to cry. She started to pack up her belongings to get ready to leave for the day and make her therapy session.
