Family Matters.

8.

Meisha POV

"Why you not packing?" Quay asked stepping in our bedroom with Queens suitcase along with his.
"I honestly don't think we should go." I state. Lately I've been feeling a lot out of place. Sure, we've all been friends for damn near 20 years. And their kids call us Aunt and Uncle, and vice versa. But we are not really family. And seeing that this will be their first family vacation with everyone I think we shouldn't go.
"What the fuck you mean? I already paid for our suite at the resort Meisha. You should have said something before hand. Get out your feelings and pack." He said as he started to fill his suitcase up with clothes.

"I'm not going." I stated and looked at me narrowing his eyes.
"I don't remember asking. Pack your shit man." He said sternly. I got up reluctantly and pulled my suitcase out of the closet. I began to fill it up too. As silent tears began to slip down my face.
Queen entered the closet too.
"You okay mommy?"She whispered looking out the closet making sure her father didn't hear.
I knew what I was about to do was wrong.
"Ask your daddy if your going to have a little sibling." I said as tears began to flow. She got up and proceeded to leave the closet.

A few months ago I found out Quay was cheating on me with some stripper and just a week ago she came to the house with an ultrasound telling me he was the father of her baby. I didn't mention it because Naunie and Bray were in town and I wanted to seem as happy as could be. But I was honestly hurt.

A few moments later I heard the slamming of a door near and stood to my feet.
"Whatever insecurities you got, you talk to me about them! You don't bring my motherfucking daughter in this! Are you stupid!?" He yelled coming into sight.
I didn't speak.
"Do you hear me Meisha!? Our daughter is crying because she thinks she's having a sibling and can clearly see that you're not pregnant! Why would you even fill her head up with that!?"He yelled.
"Filled her head up with what?" I ask wiping my tears.
"Lies."
I can't believe this. 13 years married and he got the nerve to look me in my face and deny something like this. I pushed past him and went to search for my daughter.

Camille POV

"Babe. I get it your excited but do you really feel like this vacation is the time to announce it?" Jaquan asked wrapping his arms around my waist.
"I guess not."I answered sadly.
"Ma. Aunt Naunie and them are here for you and Cayla." Cameron said coming into the room.
"Well baby. I'll see you there." Jaquan said kissing my lips. We had decided that the women would take one plane there. And the men another. But in order for that to happen they had to leave before us. So we agreed on staying at the Mansion for the night together.
"Alright I love you." I said grabbing my small duffle bag.
"I love you too."He said smacking my butt as I left out the room.

"Cayla! Mommys leaving." He yelled while following behind me making sure I didn't fall.
"No! No! Wait I'm coming!" She yelled running out of her room and damn near pushed us down the stairs.
I quickly snatched her shirt.
"You better stop this running." I said and let her go.
"Remember relax." Jaquan said as we continued out the door. I nodded not really wanting to have the conversation right now.

Micah POV

"Hey baby." My long term boyfriend Lance said into the phone.
"Hi." I replied trying to sound as happy as possible.
"How is everything going?" He asked. I let out a sigh.
"I mean good. Don't get me wrong I love my family, but I wish you were here. We've been together almost 3 years.. Why do you refuse to meet them?" I asked wiping the tears.
"Baby I've explained it to you the best way I know how. When your family realizes who my father is... They'll kill me." He said.

It's true. You could consider him the enemy. Back when my uncle was still in the game and he had that big feud with my grandad and my mom his dad worked for my grandad. His dad was actually the one that shot my uncle threw the window that night but he was young he had nothing to do with it.

"We don't have to tell them. But considering our situation I really think it's time you meet them."I said. Just as he was getting ready to speak there was a knock on the door.
"Hold on."I whispered into the phone before sitting it on the bed.
I got of the bed and went to answer the door. It was my cousins Keri and Jaylin.
"All the ladies are just about here. My mom is cooking and wants to know if you're hungry?" Keri asked.
I was hungry as hell honestly.
"Yeah I'll be down in a minute." I said and they left. I closed the door back before going to sit back on the bed.
"Hello?"I said into the phone hoping he hadn't hung up.
"Yeah I'm still here."
"Okay but like I was saying I think you shou--"
"Baby, look we'll talk later I gotta go make this drop."He said cutting my sentence short. I sighed.
"Yeah." I said dryly.
"I love you." He said and I just rolled my eyes before hanging up.

Naunie POV

After having a girls night with the ladies we all laid down preparing for this long trip tomorrow. Of course my girls laid in the bed with me.
"Mommy, are you and daddy going to get a divorce because Chase is bad?" Bre asked into the darkness. I chuckled a little bit. She knows way too much.
"No baby. Me and your daddy are going to be fine. Just not seeing eye to eye right now." I explained.
"But ma I heard you and daddy in the kitchen and I've never heard him raise his voice at you like that." Keri added.
I rolled my eyes remembering the conversation me and him had earlier.
"Well you know your daddy. It's his way or no way." I said. "Now go to sleep girls."
I finally let sleep take over. This is going to be a long trip.
