We're a family (The Pheacker Family)

A Tragedy

A:N: Heylo

TW: Angst.

Phillip

I sat in the living room feeding Jack. He was the most precious baby ever. From his chubby cheeks. To his very squishy frame. Jack was now 4 months old and he's already growing up to be such a smart boy. After he was done eating; I placed him in his swing for a nap.

George came downstairs and asked me to step into the kitchen with him. I was glad he was home. It had been a long 3 days since he was on a business trip. He pulled me into the kitchen and gave me a hug. Why was he hugging me. What was going on.

"Have a seat." George said softly.

"What's going on love?" I said softly.

"I don't know how to say this..Please don't get mad." He said softly.

I sat down...I was very nervous. I didn't know what he was going to tell me next. I mean he was on a "business trip" for three days. While I was here caring for four kids including a newborn and having severe postpartum depression.

"I won't get mad love? Why would i be mad?"

"Phillip...I cheated on you."

My throat hitches softly. I stare at him and the word cheated echoes in my brain...

"You what?" I look at him softly

"Bab-." I interrupted him.

"You think you have the right to still call me "babe"? You are a cheater George. We've been married for 15 years and you cheat on me? We've been together for 25..." I said angrily

"Phillip it just happened. I wasn't myself."

"And while you weren't "yourself" you decide to fuck another man...I see, Because I haven't fucked you in 4 months you find some other trash to fuck." I yelled.

"Phillip you think that after 4 months of no sex I'd still be understanding?? I've been understanding. Even when you were diagnosed with postpartum depression. I tried understanding. I gave a lot when you've gave nothing." He said with his voice raised.

"George..I had 4 of our children. Do I not deserve any grace for that?"

"Phillip, I want a divorce." He said softly

"A divorce. What about our kids??" I said slightly frantic

"I found love in the man I met on my trip. I just can't keep this going on knowing that I'm not in love with you any more. I love you but I'm not in love." He looks down

I stared at him crying softly.

"We just had a baby!" I yelled. "What will I tell Andy, Elle, Jamie and Jack??"

"I can break the news...I'm sorry."

Timeskip brought to you by divorces cause they suck.

It's been two weeks since George said he wanted a divorce. I haven't been feeling the best. Him and I have just been pretending to love each other for the sake of the kids until the divorce is final. Until...

"George we need to talk..." I said annoyed yet sad

"Yeah what's up??" He looked at me

"I just got back from the doctor George. I'm pregnant...again."

"W-What??"

I pull out the paperwork. It stating I was 5 weeks pregnant. I teared up cause now I definitely feel my depression will get worse and yeah I'm almost 39...km too old for this shit.

"What are you going to do?" George asked softly

"Well for starters. I'm keeping it. Even if you choose to not be here."

"I understand. I still want to be in my kids life." He said softly

It wasn't even a month later George was preparing to move out and the kids were trying to cope with it. I was holding 6 month old Jack in my arms as the other children watched.

Andres

"You're really a piece of shit you know that." I spat at George.

"Andres!" Phillip yelled.

"What mama..He cheats and ask for a divorce and you expect me to be okay with this?" I yelled. "What about my siblings. What about you?? You're pregnant again and he just gets to leave??" I state.

"Andy..I understand your frustration. That is why your mama is making me move out. We are going to do this the healthy way with no fighting." George said softly.

"I don't give a damn. You're no better then how you were when I was 5. You think you can do shit and get away with it." I yelled

"Andres stop yelling. You're scaring the younger kids." My mama said softly rubbing my back.

George left that day. It was a sore subject for me. He'd been absent half my life and came back and treated my mother terribly. I needed to go and cool off and I'm going to need to step up as a son to help my mama out so she isn't stressed.

I left to get in my car. I sat for a while and thought. I'm 22 years old and my mom is just now realizing my dad was a piece of shit. 3 babies later. Hopefully this is a wake up call. I drove over to my boyfriend's house. I had already been stressed finding out Syrus was transgender and might be pregnant...I just had to be a top that one day.

I knocked on the door and he answered.

"Hey papas." I hugged Syrus softly and kissed his forehead

"Hey, Are you doing okay?" He asked me. He was the first one I told that my parents were divorcing.

"It's a sore topic. My father has always been partially absent. When he'd go on "business trips" but was cheating on my mama." I held back tears.

"Oh baby..have a seat. Everything happened for a reason." He rubbed my back softly.

"I um...I know it might not be the time but I took a pregnancy test yesterday..." he stumbled over his words.

My eyes perked up. Hoping he wasn't but hoping he was so I can be a better father then my father was.

"Well..." I said softly looking into his eyes.

"Yeah...I'm pregnant. Um...actually I'm 10 weeks."

"10 weeks?" I teared up softly

"Is the crying a good thing or bad thing??" He panicked

I showered him with kisses all over his face.

"This...This is a good thing Syrus...I mean I'm graduating college soon and being drafted for Baseball. I'll have a job. We can do this." I said confidently

"Andy...I...I." He stuttered softly

"Are you okay?"

"No I was just expecting you to be mad."

"No why would I be mad Syrus? You're my boyfriend. I love you." I blush softly

"Move in...You can stay here and we can prepare for the baby." He said happily.

"I...I can't my mama she's pregnant again and she's gonna need me." I said softly.

I had an idea tho...

"Syrus...You can stay with us. I'll let my mama know. We can move into a bigger room and have a nursery for it. I have like a 10 bedroom house." I said happily.

"H-He won't be mad?" He said softly.

"No!! This will be great baby. I just know it."

We rushed over to my house. To spread the good news.
