WTF


Panic flooded through Alai as she pulled into the driveway. "Whaaaat theeee fuuuckkkk", she whispered to herself as she slowed her car to a stop. Toys were scattered all over the yard and driveway and the front door was wide open. "Sahlaiiiiii", she yelled from her open car door hoping to hear her oldest respond. When she left the house a little over an hour ago, she had left her two youngest asleep in the bed with their daddy. He wasn't worth shit once he went to sleep and so she had hoped they would stay asleep until she got home but, judging by the scene before her, they had been up and very active. Anxiously she got back into her car, she could feel a tightening in her chest as she drove off the driveway into the overgrown grass. It had been months since they could afford yard maintenance and with the creatures and critters becoming more and more comfortable and roaming freely in the three acres of grass, taller than both her youngest kids, she could only imagine the worst. Slowly she crept her beat up 04 Silver Honda Civic around the house looking for any signs of her children praying they hadn't fallen or been attacked by any of the many wild animals that frequented their yard. She finished her perimeter search, feeling sure that her babies weren't being mauled in the back yard she eased her car into their two-car garage and hopped quickly out. Cautiously approaching the door, she checked for any signs of a break-in before she entered the house and looked around. The smell that hit her nose had her immediately gagging. There was an open diaper full of mushy yellow shit right inside the door soaking in what Alai could only assume was dog piss. She stepped over the mess carefully making her way through the house, heel to toe, heel to toe, she approached the kitchen and found the two youngest playing with their puppy. Their father approached from the back den rubbing sleep from his eyes. He was obviously oblivious to the hell the kids had let loose while he slept.

"Salim, WHAT THE FUCK? AINNO WAY, YOU SLEEPING THAT DAMN HARD!" Alai spat. "I am in this fucking house from sunup to sundown day after fucking day, and you can't even watch the kids for one measly ass hour while I go to the store."

"Baby," Salim croaks, still trying to process what's happening," baby, I'm sorry I was sleepin".

"YOU ALWAYS FUCKIN SLEEP, when are you gonna wake the fuck up? huh?! it's gone take one of the kids bussin they head open? A broken bone, a missing child, like what is it gonna take for you to get your shit together? I don't even know why I'm still dealin with this shit, you think just because you go to work that's all you have to do. NEWS FLASH NIGGA! I work too she mumbled under her breath as she stormed off with both the babies to make sure they were ok.

Salim, trying to figure out what Alai's problem is, finally glances around the house. It looks like someone has teepee'd the inside of their home. The dogs have pissed and shit all over Alai's new fur rug and the youngest was covered in what appeared to be piss and dirt and the smell was HORRID! My goodness it smelt like something died came back took a piss and died again. "What the fuck?", he thought to himself.

Alai frantically checks both the babies. The youngest must have been woken up by the blow out he had. The shit had leaked out of both sides of the diaper had soaked his onesie all the way up to his shoulders and there was an unknown substance matted into the left side of his head totally ruining his light brown curls. That mixed with whatever the boys got into outside left Alai no option but to toss them both into the shower. After many tears and multiple screaming matches the boys were bathe, fed, and chilling in front of their favorite show with their juice cups. She had no idea what they had gotten into outside but, there were bite marks and scratches covering their calves and ankles, so she lathered them in anti-itch cream as well. Alai headed towards the kitchen and shot off a quick message " Call me when you get this." Alai texts her oldest of six, Sahlai. She went back and marked the message as urgent before beginning to clean up the mess. After getting up all the toilet paper and mopping the floors, Alai just starts to imagine all the terrible things that could have happened to her supervised yet unsupervised children. Fear, anxiety, anger all washed though her repeatedly as she washed the dishes. Rage cleaning complete and unable to hold back anymore Alai begins weeping into her dish water, snot and tears dripping steadily down her face.

How did she end up here?

In the beginning everything was so good. They had so much fun together and the sex was insane. Sex with Salim was always like having sex with a telepath, the way he read her body it's like he could hear her every thought loud and clear. The first time they had sex brought her to tears. She had never met a man who could read her soul from inside her vagina but dammit if that wasn't Salim. Alai thought they were in love, but Salim was just looking for a come up. Alai took him the trap house and raised him up and the moment he felt like he was up he started acting differently. After Alai had their first baby Sahlai, Salim was the sweetest. HE never wanted Alai to lift a finger. He was kind. He was passionate. He was Loving and it was all just a ploy. What started out as one small ask to help them pay one bill eventually led to Salim pimping Alai out to his friends, he told her that pussy was too good not to share and if all her kids were as beautiful as Sahlai they could help around the joint as well. Once Salim realized how deep he had his claws in Alai and that she would do anything for him, he started trusting her with more parts of the business. Sometimes she moved drugs, sometimes she sold them, and he made sure to keep her schedule booked when it came to her escorting rich and powerful men. When Salai was about 6 Alai got pregnant with her second child Salim made sure to keep her feeling good whether on powder or pills and she was in such high demand in the high roller circles by this point that she was entertaining someone every night. Sometimes more than one a night and they always paid extra to go raw. With no idea of who the father could be but assuming it was one of her regulars Salim and Alai decided to keep the child and get a DNA test after she was born. It was a hard pregnancy, but Alai still did her best with her duties. Salim noticed that Alai was struggling and not bringing in her usual amount and unbeknownst to Alai, Salim began using their daughter to make a little extra money on the side. At 6 years old Salai began her part in the family business. Salim mostly just moved insignificant amounts of product in her diaper bag or stroller. After the birth of Alimah Salim seemed to lose any interest, he had for Alai. He was cold, and emotionless. He walked the halls of the home like a ghost silent and withdrawn and the light that used to be in his eyes when he looked at her was gone. In her eyes Salim just saw her children were just a quick buck to him now. Alai tried to do anything and everything to get them back to how they were before, but nothing worked, and kid after kid Salim got more and more useless, more and more cold. Now 4 years and 6 kids later Alai is crying over her dishwater wondering how she went from the Valedictorian and job offers to be lead dietician at the top companies in the industry to this pitiful weeping woman. After a minute or two Alai gathers herself and reminds herself how she said she would do whatever she needed to keep her family together. It could be worse. Salim was a lot of things, but a cheater was not one. Although he passed her around Alai loved bragging to her girls about how she got her a faithful man that loves her and takes care of her. She had said this spiel so much that she had convinced even herself that it was try even though Salim had not touched her in over a year...

"zzZZ",

The sound of Salim's phone vibrating snapped her out of her thoughts. Alai normally ignored Salim's phone when it rang but something was tugging her to look.

" Hey babe, looks like Jr. has your big ass head lol", what the fuck ...Alai thought as she quickly dried her hands so she could open the message completely.

21 weeks and 4 days.

"WHAT

THE

FUCK"

Alai thought again, the contact had no name but as she scrolled up Salim and this person had been talking to each other for close to a year. Everything she had been wanting and yearning for from Salim he had been giving to this woman. "Who was she? Where was she? and she HOPED the bitch could fight", Alai thought, " cause I'm finna beat both they asses.

"WHAT THE FUCK?", Salim says loudly from the doorway startling Alai. Damn near jumping out of her skin Alai turns to Salim phone in hand,

"Congrats nigga!" she says a little more loudly than she intended. "YO BITCH ASS HAVIN A BABY HUH?!", she says as she launches the phone.
